After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Ji Zixuan lowered his head and fell silent.
Ji Zixuan looked at the floor silently, and so did Ji Yuanyuan.
Neither of them spoke. The living room was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a pin dropping on the ground.
After a while, he finally looked up. “I understand. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to upset our father.”
“It’s getting late,” he said. “Go up and sleep.”
Outside, the crackling sounds continued.
Ji Yuanyuan also stood up and pointed to the bedroom on the first floor. “You can stay in that room. We’ve already gotten a cleaner to clean the house. The bedding is also new.”
He nodded and turned to go to his room.
“Big Brother…” Ji Yuanyuan suddenly called out to him.
Ji Zixuan turned around and looked at Ji Yuanyuan strangely.
“Happy New Year,” Ji Yuanyuan said in a low voice.
When he heard this, he forced a smile. “Happy New Year.”
Ji Yuanyuan turned around and walked upstairs.
Ji Zixuan also returned to his room.
When the door closed, Ji Yuanyuan could not help but look downstairs.
By the time Ji Yuanyuan returned to her room, Tangtang was already sleeping soundly on the bed.
Qin Mucheng stood by the window, deep in thought.
“What are you looking at?” Ji Yuanyuan asked in a low voice as she stepped forward and stood beside Qin Mucheng.
“Fireworks!” Qin Mucheng pointed at the sky not far away.
He didn’t know which wealthy family was giving away their wealth.
The fireworks were beautiful and shot into the sky one after another.
Ji Yuanyuan admired it quietly.
The people she loved the most were by her side. How wonderful.
The fireworks lasted for half an hour before it finally ended.
Ji Yuanyuan turned around. “Let’s sleep earlier…”
“Yuanyuan!”
The two of them spoke almost at the same time.
Ji Yuanyuan looked up and met Qin Mucheng s gaze.
His eyes were like a deep pool of water, and Ji Yuanyuan almost drowned in them.
“From now on, we have to spend every year together.” Qin Mucheng held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and said affectionately.
Ji Yuanyuan could not help but laugh. She stood on tiptoes and kissed Qin Mucheng on the lips. “Of course. We have to be together forever.”
Early in the morning, Ji Yuanyuan was woken up by Tangtang.
The little girl’s small hands kept patting Ji Yuanyuan’s arm. Her voice sounded aggrieved. “Mommy, Mommy, get up quickly. I’m hungry…”
Ji Yuanyuan opened her eyes in a daze. Just as she was about to speak, Qin Mucheng, who was beside her, had already scooped Tangtang over.
He had probably just woken up. His voice was a little hoarse. “Daddy will make milk for you. Drink some milk first.”
Tangtang nodded heavily. “Yes, yes. Daddy, hurry up. I’m starving to death.” “Ptui, you’re not allowed to say that word during the New Year,” Ji Yuanyuan said with her eyes closed.
Tangtang turned around and rolled into Ji Yuanyuan s arms.
“Mom, when are we going home?”
“Which home?” Ji Yuanyuan asked.
“Of course, it’s the one with Grandparents,” Tangtang said righteously.
“What’s wrong? Do you miss your Grandparents?”
“And Great-grandfather,” Tangtang added.
Ji Yuanyuan opened her eyes and looked at Qin Mucheng, who was making her milk at the end of the bed. She said jokingly, “It’s not easy. It’s been four days since your daughter came out. She finally remembered her grandparents and great – grandfather.”
Qin Mucheng brewed the milk and dripped it on his hand to test the temperature. Then, he came over with the milk bottle.
He stuffed the milk bottle into Tangtang’s hands and said softly, “With Daddy and Mommy here, it’s good that she can remember Grandpa and Grandma.” Then, he took out his phone and asked Tangtang, “Shall we call Grandpa and Grandma? If you see Grandpa and Grandma, tell them Happy New Year. Grandpa and Grandma will give you a big red packet.
The elderly didn’t sleep much. When they were at home, the three of them would get up at around six.
Therefore, Qin Mucheng did not have to worry about disturbing them by calling them at this hour.
Tangtang was not interested in the big red packet and nodded casually.
Qin Mucheng was about to make a video call when Ji Yuanyuan quickly stopped him. ‘Wait a minute. My hair is too messy.”
She quickly got up and draped her jacket over her body. Then, she casually tidied her hair.
Qin Mucheng made a call. Qin Junshan, Qin Haowen, and Cheng Shuqin appeared on the screen.
Looking at the scene behind the three of them, it seemed that they were still at the old residence.
“Grandfather, Father, Mother, Happy New Year,” Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan said almost at the same time.
Qin Haowen was holding his phone, so he stood at the front.
He nodded perfunctorily. “Happy New Year, happy New Year. I’ll give you red packets when you come back. Where’s my granddaughter? Grandpa’s big red packet is ready.”
Qin Mucheng pointed the camera at Tangtang.
The moment he saw Tangtang, the wrinkles on Qin Haowen’s face started to form.
“Tangtang, you woke up so early today.”
Tangtang hugged the milk bottle and smiled. “Didn’t Tangtang just say that she missed Grandpa, Grandma, and Great-Grandpa?” Ji Yuanyuan reminded. “What should you say when you see them?”
Tangtang seemed to be starving. She had already emptied half of the bottle of milk.
Hearing Ji Yuanyuan’s words, she finally took the milk bottle out of her mouth. “Great Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandma, Happy New Year,” Tangtang shouted into the phone in a childish voice.
After saying that, he leaned in front of the screen and kissed it.
Qin Haowen covered his face in an exaggerated manner. “Aiyo, Tangtang is so obedient. When you come back, Grandpa will give you a big red packet and bring you to buy a beautiful princess dress, okay?”
Qin Mucheng could not bear to look at Qin Haowen’s generous smile.
He placed his phone on the bedside table. “Tangtang, talk to Great-Grandpa and Grandpa and Grandma first. Daddy will go down and cook for you.” Tangtang’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “Yes, yes. Daddy, go ahead. I’ll be good.”
Qin Mucheng instructed Tangtang and then Ji Yuanyuan. “Go and pack up first. After dinner, we’ll go to the hospital to replace Mom and the rest.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “Yes, don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on her.”
After Qin Mucheng finished his instructions, he went downstairs to cook. However, just as he went downstairs, Qin Mucheng smelled a fragrance.
He went to the kitchen, feeling a little strange.
Ji Zixuan was standing in front of the kitchen stove, frying eggs skillfully. “Why are you up so early?” Qin Mucheng asked casually.
It was only seven o’clock..
