"Yingxin!"

"shadow!"

The two idiots were a bit stunned when they saw people, and Meng Yingxin was too embarrassed to talk much. Only Leng Yingying was completely unaffected and kept chattering.

"Thank you so much, Crescent Moon. Knowing that we're all spending the New Year alone in the capital, you even invited us... Um, Miss Meng, wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to go empty-handed? Shall we go buy something?" Leng Yingying said.

"Yes, we should buy it!" Meng Yingxin almost forgot about this. She was too nervous about meeting Qiao Shouyan's family soon. "Also, um, please don't keep calling me 'beautiful lady.' Just call me Meng Yingxin or Yingxin."

“Okay, Yingxin, you can just call me Shadow. We’re both friends of Crescent Moon, so we’re friends from now on!” Leng Yingying said.

Meng Yingxin nodded; she quite liked Leng Yingying's cheerful and straightforward personality.

Being with someone like that is straightforward and easygoing; it's not tiring, there are no hidden agendas, and it's very comfortable.

[I've gained another beautiful friend, hehehe...]

Qiao Gaoyang: Can you be serious for once?

Qiao Shouyan: Don't even think about making a move on her!

“Actually, there’s no need to buy anything. My parents said it’s good enough that you can come to their house. There’s really no need—” Qiao Gaoyang tried to stop him.

"What do you know? Who goes to someone's house empty-handed during the New Year? Does this mean you don't plan for me to go a second time?" Leng Yingying looked at Qiao Gaoyang warily and scolded, "We often cultivate together, how can you do this? Isn't that so unfair?"

Qiao Shouyan chuckled to himself, but Meng Yingxin noticed his smirk and winked at him.

Meng Yingxin: Are these two up to something?

Qiao Shouyan nodded.

Meng Yingxin understood instantly.

"How could that be? You've misunderstood. You're always welcome at our home. I'm just worried about wasting money..." Qiao Gaoyang explained.

"No!" Leng Yingying refused.

[Wasting money? Sorry, this queen is not short of money. I'll just take the bonuses and rave about it until my hands are sore. The Leng Yingying of today is not the Leng Yingying of the past, but the shadow of Niu Gulu! Hahaha...]

The two brothers: "..."

Qiao Shouyan suddenly thought of a question: if his family could hear Leng Yingying's thoughts, would Meng Yingxin be able to hear Leng Yingying's thoughts after he married her?

Things definitely need to be bought.

The shops that remained open that day sold attractive but expensive items.

Fortunately, Meng Yingxin and Leng Yingying were also very generous. When they bought things, they would discuss it together and try not to buy duplicates.

"I'm planning to buy some wine and tea. Yingxin, you don't need to buy those two items. Let's look at something else," Leng Yingying said, and then began to select some items.

[The tea is for the female lead's father. As for the wine... we'll open it and try it during dinner. If you want a deep bond, you have to down it in one gulp!]

Leng Yingying had a well-thought-out plan; she intended to use alcohol to get closer to the Qiao family.

After drinking together, even strangers became acquainted.

Qiao Gaoyang: "..."

Unexpectedly, he had his eye on a young drunkard.

“Okay.” Meng Yingxin already had an idea. In her previous life, she had heard Qiao Shouyan mention what kind of pastries his parents liked, so she bought them what they liked and also bought imported milk powder for Su Yueya’s two little babies.

When Qiao Shouyan saw what Meng Yingxin had bought, his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

They all knew that Meng Yingxin was a reborn person, and it couldn't be a coincidence that she would buy these things. It must be that she still remembered things from her previous life and took his words to heart...

"Let's go," Qiao Shouyan said, taking the things. "Dad and Yueya have prepared a meal at home and are planning to show off their skills to entertain you!"

"I heard that Uncle and Crescent Moon are both excellent cooks, so I'm in for a treat today," Meng Yingxin said.

"What?!" Leng Yingying's eyes immediately lit up. "There's such a thing?! I knew I shouldn't have eaten at the cafeteria for lunch today; I would have eaten my fill tonight!"

I made the right choice buying this wine! I'll have to have a couple of drinks with my uncle later! Hehe...

Qiao Gaoyang: "..."

Soon, they arrived at the Qiao family's residence. The entire family treated the two guests with the highest level of hospitality, and the Qi family stood at the door to welcome them!

Wow! This is quite a show of force! As expected of the female lead, she loves me so much...

The two brothers: "..."

"Greetings, Commander Liu!" Leng Yingying gave a standard military salute as soon as they met, then looked at Qiao Hanxue and said, "Greetings, Uncle! I heard that you are cooking the New Year's Eve dinner tonight. Thank you so much! I didn't know what you two liked, so I just bought some tea and wine. I hope you enjoy them!"

"Hey, I love it!"

Liu Yuying had met Leng Yingying before, heard her thoughts, and knew her strength, so she had a certain understanding of her. But this was the first time she had met Qiao Hanxue!

He was genuinely a little surprised. He hadn't expected that the girl his second son liked would have such a personality; she was clearly very cheerful!

"I am Leng Yingying, a good friend of Yueya. Uncle and Commander Liu can just call me Xiao Leng, or you can call me Yingzi!" Leng Yingying said.

[Who is this family? They're all so good-looking! I love them, I've stumbled into a den of handsome men and beautiful women!]

[Just follow the female lead, you can't go wrong! You can't go wrong at all!]

Qiao Hanxue appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly deeply shocked.

On the other hand, Liu Yuying, upon hearing Leng Yingying call Tang Xiaoshuang "Sister Shuang" in her heart, already knew what kind of person her future second son's wife would be.

"Calm down," Liu Yuying whispered to her husband.

"Hello, Commander Liu, hello, Uncle. I am a friend of Yueya and Shouyan. My name is Meng Yingxin." Meng Yingxin introduced herself gently.

However, the way he looked at the two elders was quite meaningful.

Liu Yuying and Qiao Hanxue had taken good care of her in her previous life, but unfortunately she never had the chance to see them before she died. Now, she has finally met them.

"Let's eat at home today, so don't call them 'teachers' or 'comrades,' just call them 'uncle' and 'auntie'!" Liu Yuying said, warmly inviting them inside. "Next time, just come over for dinner; don't bring so much stuff!"

The auntie is so kind! But I'm too shy to ask for a free meal.

Qiao Xinruo: "..."

You're not thin-skinned at all!

"Yes, yes, come in and sit down!" Qiao Hanxue also invited.

Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo each held a little dumpling in their arms. The little ones were pink and tender, not only were they cute and well-behaved, but they also seemed to have very good tempers.

Even Leng Yingying, who wasn't particularly interested in children, couldn't help but take a second look.

[Is this the child born to the male and female leads? So beautiful! That just goes to show how important genes are! The child of a beautiful couple is just gorgeous. It's a pity Lu Zhengjun wasn't here! Otherwise, I could have shipped them right there!]
