There was the feeling of pain from her memories of the past.

The year had past, and a new year had arrived.

“Thanks for your hard word. Happy New Year.”

After the performance, Ye Tianxin thanked everyone and presented gifts to her instructors. They had taught her how to be a good host on stage, so she owed her brilliant performance that night to them.

“How can I accept your gift? It’s so thoughtful of you.”

Ye Tianxin was proudly showing off Grandma’s handiwork. “My grandma made this. You can use it to decorate your home.”

Some of the veteran hosts looked at the gifts and were impressed. The gifts were all handmade, and they looked very exquisite.

“Is this a panda? It looked like the real thing.”

Ye Tianxin replied, beaming, “Yes, it’s a panda.”

“Ye Tianxin, Happy New Year to you too.”

After bidding everyone goodbye, Ye Tianxin changed out of her clothes and removed her makeup. She took out her phone and was about to call Li Qingcang when she saw a message from Yancheng.

Ye Tianxin blinked her eyes a couple of times. She wanted to make sure it was really him.

She remembered that the number was the same as Gu Yancheng’s mobile number in her past life.

‘Ye Tianxin, Happy New Year. May all go well with you.’

The message sent the happy Ye Tianxin into a flurry until her mood suddenly changed. Her face darkened, and she felt her hair stand.

Taking a deep breath, she quickly deleted the message from her phone.

Guan Chenxi and Fu Yuzhu were all packed up. They were waiting for Ye Tianxin at the entrance.

“Tianxin, have you packed up yet? Can we go now?”

“Yes.”

Ye Tianxin walked out of the makeup room. She left for the carpark with Fu Yuzhu and Guan Chenxi.

It was already the first day of the New Year. Both Fu Yuzhu and Guan Chenxi handed a red packet each to Ye Tianxin.

“Tianxin, Happy New Year. I wish you success in the new year.”

Ye Tianxin smiled. “I’ll take it then. Thank you.”

“Go ahead.”

Fu Yuzhu looked at his watch.

“I’m going home now. Chenxi, send Tianxin home.”

“It’s okay, Chenxi. You can go home first. I want to go for a drive alone.”

Guan Chenxi hesitated. “Tianxin, I’d better send you home.”

Ye Tianxin shook her head. “Chenxi, it’s okay. I have some personal matters to attend to.”

Fu Yuzhu looked at Ye Tianxin and then turned to Guan Chenxi. “All right then, I’ll send you home, Chenxi. I’m sure Tianxin knows what she’s doing. She’ll be fine.”

Sometimes, it was good to have a bodyguard for one’s safety.

At other times, it was also good to be alone and have some privacy.

After Fu Yuzhu left with Guan Chenxi, Ye Tianxin went straight to her car. She took a deep breath while wearing a grim expression. She was looking more mature than her age.

Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Soon, she was on her way to the detention center where Gu Yancheng was locked up.

When she arrived, she sat in the car and gazed at the tall wall surrounding the detention center. The dim light cast a shadow on the building making it look less cold than it was. She was lost in thought.

Ye Tianxin got out of the car after composing herself.

She took out her identity card to provide her particulars. Soon she was led to a room.

He appeared right in front of her with short hair and a gloomy expression.

“Ye Tianxin, happy new year. May all go well with you.”

A glass window separated the both of them.
