"Baby, Daddy's going to perform! Look!"

Yan Yirou held the baby and turned him to face Gu Chenye, clapping his little hand and saying, "Shall we clap for Daddy?"

The baby blew out some small bubbles.

Gu Yunzhen sat down next to Shangguan Wu. Hearing Gu Chenye's words, he turned his head and smiled, "Wife, aren't you going to give me some encouragement?"

Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow and clapped his hands symbolically: "Keep it up."

Gu Yunzhen's lips twitched slightly.

Suddenly, Xiao Tianyou grinned and shouted, "Go, Dad!"

Dad?

Gu Yunzhen looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mu Liangzhou patting his son's head. Without a doubt, this was the way he had taught him to address his son.

Ha! Let him laugh tonight. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he'll go back to his wife's parents' home and post it on social media, making it impossible for him to cry.

Gu Yunzhen, carrying a suona, followed Gu Chenye onto the stage.

Two more chairs appeared on the stage at this moment.

After Gu Chenye sat down, he played the erhu to test its sound.

Mu Liangzhou rarely saw it, so he took out his phone to take a picture, intending to make it into an emoji and send it to Gu Si occasionally to amuse him.

However, Gu Yunzhen nipped it in the bud.

Gu Yunzhen gave Mu Liangzhou a warning look: "Don't take pictures."

Everyone immediately looked at Mu Liangzhou.

Since there were elders from the Gu family present, Mu Liangzhou didn't argue, but only asked, "Can't we take pictures?"

Qin Yichen gestured with his lip: "If you take the picture, this guy won't be on stage next year."

Mu Liangzhou raised an eyebrow in surprise: "That serious? Didn't you take any pictures?"

He put his phone away.

"My aunt recorded the audio."

Qin Yichen didn't mention that he had also recorded it and had photos, which he even showed to his little cousin. After all, he took the photos secretly, unlike Mu Liangzhou, who directly pointed his phone at Gu Si and took pictures. Gu Si also has his pride!

A moment later, the sound of musical instruments began.

When the mournful erhu meets the rogue suona, it's the undisputed MVP of the night!

After listening for a while, Mu Liangzhou nudged Qin Yichen with his elbow: "Is this the love of a lifetime?"

Qin Yichen was stunned for a moment.

Looking at Gu Yunzhen and Gu Chenye on the stage, their eyes were fixed on Shangguan Wu and Yan Yirou, their gazes lingering on each other, as if they were telling everyone a message.

—Look, this is the love of my life.

Qin Yichen suddenly shuddered, breaking out in goosebumps.

Everyone present, except for Mu Zhihang, who was single, understood what was going on.

Mu Liangzhou was inwardly exclaiming, "Wow!"

When did Gu Si become so skilled?

If he were even half as good as Gu Si, his kids would probably be old enough to run errands by now!

Mu Liangzhou narrowed his eyes and immediately made a major decision: even if he didn't work this year, he would still marry Shangguan Shuang!

When Shangguan Wu met the deep affection in Gu Yunzhen's eyes, her eyebrows curved slightly, and her heart softened.

She was so glad she came back.

I'm also glad that I wasn't scared off by his cold face and sarcastic remarks.

She believed that this man would be with her through every meal and season, watching the clouds drift by.

Yan Yirou felt Gu Chenye's passionate love and was also very fortunate to have come into this world. Not only did she meet the love of her life, but she also had a baby with him.

After the song ended, the concert tonight came to a close.

But Qin Yiheng hasn't come down yet.

Jimo Yan then suggested that everyone have a BBQ together, eat and drink to relax.

Everyone agreed.

About half an hour later, the chef and servants prepared the barbecue ingredients. Apart from the chef being a fixed person, everyone else also helped out.

Not long after, Gu Yilou came upstairs with the grilled skewers.

At this moment, Mu Liangzhou approached Shangguan Wu and asked, "I heard you're planning to make a reality show? And you're even going to participate in it yourself?"

Shangguan Wu asked knowingly, "You're going to participate again?"

Mu Liangzhou nodded: "But I'd like to discuss with you whether I could plan one episode?"

He orchestrated this?

Shangguan Wu looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "You want to go public? Aren't you afraid it will affect your career?"

"Fans who know me well should be able to guess that I have someone I like, right?"

Mu Liangzhou wasn't entirely certain, but he had his own convictions: "Over the years, I've kept a clean record in the industry and focused solely on my work. Now that I'm of marriageable age, and getting married and having children is a normal part of life, I can't let others put me on a pedestal and make me a god without desires. In the end, I'm just an ordinary person who wants to grow old with the one I love."

What he didn't say was that he had long been envious of his brothers who were getting married one by one and living happily ever after.

Shangguan Wu was quite satisfied to see him openly expressing his feelings, but she suddenly asked, "Has the misunderstanding between you and my second sister been cleared up?"

"What misunderstanding?"

Mu Liangzhou paused for a moment, then reiterated, "There is no misunderstanding between her and me."

The only difference was that everyone's mindset and pursuits were different at the time.

As time passed, the person he cherished most in his heart remained unchanged. He knew then that he had fallen for her, and he was happy with it.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shangguan Wu took Gu Yunzhen and Xiao Tianyou back to her parents' home to pay New Year's respects.

After getting off the plane, on the way to the Shangguan family home, Shangguan Wu called her second sister, Shangguan Shuang.

"Second sister, Happy New Year! We've gotten off the plane and are heading home now. We should be home in about forty minutes!"

Shangguan Shuang smiled slightly on the other end of the phone: "Happy New Year, little sister."

Shangguan Wu asked, "Are Mom and Dad home?"

She had been meaning to ask over the phone since last night, but decided to talk to him in person instead.

Shangguan Shuang glanced at the people in the living room, took a few steps toward the door, and lowered her voice, saying, "Knowing you were coming back today, they were all waiting at home. There's another person in the house, someone you know. It might be a pleasant surprise, or it might be a little shocking."

Hmm? There's another person in the house? Or is it someone she knows?

Shangguan Wu blinked: "Who is it?"

Shangguan Shuang said, "You'll know when you get back. I'm hanging up now, bye."

Why are you keeping us in suspense?

"Bye-bye." After the call ended, Shangguan Wu looked at her phone screen, wondering who would be coming to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

If it were a relative, my second sister definitely wouldn't have said it was just a minor fright.

Gu Yunzhen looked at his wife, who was deep in thought, and rubbed his forehead. Is it really true that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years?

"Wife," he said.

Shangguan Wu snapped out of her daze and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Does it matter who it is? We'll find out when we get home. Why bother guessing?"

That's true, but Shangguan Wu exclaimed, "I'm just killing time anyway, so I'll be happy if I guess right!"

Gu Yunzhen deliberately said, "Did being with me make you feel bad?"

Uh! Shangguan Wu looked at him with her watery eyes, clenched her right fist, and slowly said, "Husband, it's the second day of the Lunar New Year, don't force me..."

Although the words were left unsaid, those who understand will understand the deeper meaning.

Gu Yunzhen glanced down at her little pink fist, her lips twitching slightly.

That's it?
