Chapter 1047
Bai Lanwu actually likes the hustle and bustle. On the island, the neighbors celebrated Chinese New Year’s Eve together. Now, seeing a big group of people entering the house, she doesn’t find it noisy at all. Instead, she invites everyone to sit in the living room and wait while she clears the dining table.
“Sis, let the kids do the chores, and we can sit down and rest.”noveldrama
Bai Peiluan orders her godson around without feeling the slightest bit sorry for him.
Mu Nianbai and others immediately roll up their sleeves: “Auntie, go and rest, we’ll take care of things.”
Bai Lanwu says there’s no need with a smile, but she is still pulled into the living room by Ye Xingguang to sit on the sofa and chat while all the matters are enthusiastically handled by a bunch of godsons.
Tang Xiao is the last to arrive, holding a baby with his right hand and leading Yan Xi with his left. Upon entering, he discovers the dining room table is already full.
Tang Zhou excitedly says, “Bro, how come you’re back? Didn’t you say…”
Before Tang Zhou could finish, he is kicked by Ye Junqing.
Tang Zhou originally wanted to say, weren’t you supposed to spend Chinese New Year’s Eve at your mother-in-law’s house? But obviously, the two were chased away by the Yan’s Family. Nonetheless, it doesn’t matter as Tang Zhou pulls out a seat next to him, “Bro, come sit down, there’s so much delicious food.”
Yan Xi, after taking off her down jacket and hanging it on the back of her chair, seats herself comfortably and adjusts her hair, saying, “For many years, I’ve spent New Year’s Eve with a bunch of guys in the army. Finally, today, I see women at the dinner table.”
“Wow! Are you the iron lady Yan Xi? I’ve admired you so much!”
Xiao Mi Hu almost stands up, asking Yan Xi to sign her clothes: “And many of my classmates really admire you, too.”
Yan Xi laughs freely, not aspiring to live in a way that others envy, but compelled by circumstances. Seeing the son in Tang Xiao’s arms, a gentle look flashes across the iron lady’s face.
Yi Yujian says, “Butler, bring two more sets of cutlery over. This year is truly a bountiful one—for the family, with so many new additions, and for everyone in their work and careers. Let’s drink to that.”
Xiao Hua Hua is the fastest to raise her glass: “I’m very happy to meet all of you.”
After the butler brings two more sets of cutlery, everyone toasts together, and the atmosphere of the whole New Year’s Eve dinner becomes unexpectedly warm.
During the meal, everyone eats, drinks, and chats. The men drink slowly while the women, having finished their New Year’s Eve meals early, gather in the living room to watch television and chat leisurely.
Ye Xingguang receives a video call from Xia Ye Zhao, who sends her a New Year’s red envelope. She also sends a red envelope to Xiao Man, and they wish each other a Happy New Year on video.
Seeing the interior decoration behind the video, Ye Xingguang boldly yet assuredly asks, “Bro, you’re not spending the holiday with that family of three, are you?”
Xia Ye Zhao knows the family of three Ye Xingguang is referring to: “I was planning to celebrate together, but…”
“Got it, got it, no need to explain. I heard that Uncle likes doctor Chang a lot, even Aunt supports you marrying her. I’m looking forward to celebrating your wedding.”
Hehe, Ye Xingguang feels immensely satisfied remembering this. Some parents despised doctor Chang, yet now her big brother’s biological father is very supportive of him finding true love. She’s curious how those parents will oppose now. If they continue to do so, her brother might truly drift apart from them forever.
Ye Xingguang brings Xiao Hua Hua over and says to her, “Call him uncle.”
Xiao Hua Hua’s cute little voice goes, “Uncle, Happy New Year.”
Seeing Xiao Hua Hua, who looks like a mini-version of his little sister, Xia Ye Zhao’s eyes soften, and through the screen, he wishes he could hold her in his arms…
