"What are you doing, we're an old married couple!" The moment she was picked up, Shen Qiaoyue was clearly shy, and she smiled with her lips pursed.

"You're my wife, so I want to hold you." Lu Chen's tone was definitely firm.

A wife is meant to be cherished.

Shen Qiaoyue was indeed very tired. Being held by Lu Chen, leaning against his chest, and listening to his heartbeat, she felt so happy.

Lu Chen placed Shen Qiaoyue on the bed. Shen Qiaoyue took off her coat, put on a thin, skin-hugging nightgown, and lay down to wait for Lu Chen to lie down with her.

Lu Chen, having taken off his coat, lay down, hugged Shen Qiaoyue, covered her with the blanket, and said, "Go to sleep."

Shen Qiaoyue leaned against Lu Chen's chest, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

The Lunar New Year celebrations used to be different; we would wait until midnight to finish setting off the fireworks before going to sleep.

Shen Qiaoyue was too tired today and just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

Lu Chen kissed Shen Qiaoyue on the forehead, and then held her as they slept.

After a long day, Shen Qiaoyue slept until dawn before getting up.

When I woke up, I could already hear the children making noise in the yard.

It was as if she traveled through time and space the moment she closed her eyes; it was so fast.

Not long after Chen Qiaoyue fell asleep last night, Lu Chen's grandfather brought the two children back.

Lu Chen got up and made a midnight snack for the four of them, and stayed with the children until after midnight before going to sleep.

Jiang Mingjing and Jiang Minghe both gave the two children New Year's red envelopes, and both wanted to sleep with their grandfather.

Lu Chen made breakfast before going to work in the early morning.

Shen Qiaoyue got up, put on her clothes, looked at her watch, and saw that it was already past nine o'clock. She had to get up and cook.

When I stepped out of the room, Jiang Mingjing was playing with the children.

"Qiaoyue is awake?" Jiang Mingjing greeted Shen Qiaoyue.

"I'm awake, Dad. Happy New Year." Shen Qiaoyue nodded in response, feeling a little embarrassed for sleeping so soundly on the first day of the new year.

Jiang Mingjing said, "Happy New Year. By the way, we're going to your parents' house to pay our respects tomorrow, and we're having dinner at your Aunt Yu's house today. Lu He just called."

"Lu He called, what did he say?" Shen Qiaoyue asked.

Thinking of Lu He, I really should call her to wish her a Happy New Year.

Jiang Mingjing said, "We should know by lunchtime."

Jiang Mingjing recalled Lu Chen's expression when he answered the phone that morning, and he felt that Lu Chen was genuinely angry.

"Dad, what's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" Shen Qiaoyue was also curious about what Lu He had said on the phone.
