"So what are your plans now, you two?"

As for her niece Zhou Shiwei, Zhou's mother naturally couldn't make any judgments, especially in front of her sister-in-law Li Yao, Zhou Shiwei's mother, about someone else's daughter.

However, Zhou's mother felt that showing indifference was also inappropriate.

“She didn’t come back for Chinese New Year this year, she must still be angry with me and her dad. I plan to go over there after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.”

A daughter is someone you gave birth to. No matter how useless she is, parents can't just ignore her and let her fend for herself.

Li Yao thought to herself.

In fact, she just wanted to see how her daughter was doing in Qiaoxingtun!

This year, the Zhou family enjoyed a harmonious New Year's Eve dinner without Zhou Shiwei causing them any trouble. However, Zhou Yanchen and his wife felt a little uneasy.

Meanwhile, the Chen family's New Year's Eve dinner was equally lively and harmonious.

After all, with Chen Changqing's warning, Zhang Hua dared not cause trouble as before, but she remained very quiet all night and hardly said a word.

As for the Qin family's New Year's Eve dinner, there's no need to say more; the atmosphere was simply unparalleled.

The night was still and quiet, the moonlight cold and clear.

"I'll take you out for a drive tomorrow, do you want to come?"

After a passionate and enjoyable lovemaking session, Qin Yanzheng tidied himself and Song Lan up before getting into bed and pulling her into his arms. His voice, still slightly hoarse from the lingering passion, said:

"It's something a few of my close friends from my school days want. They've set a place and time, and they're even suggesting we all bring our significant other. I'd like to take you along. You don't mind, do you?"

"Is it absolutely necessary to go?"

Song Lan asked groggily. She was nestled in the man's arms like a cat, her eyes closed. She wanted to open them, but she was too tired and her eyelashes trembled slightly. Her eyelids twitched, but judging from her words, she was still quite conscious.

"I hope you go."

Qin Yanzheng gently kissed the forehead of the person in his arms and whispered softly. Upon hearing this, Song Lan asked, "Why?"

"They kept bragging on the phone about how great their wives were, so naturally I couldn't keep quiet about it."

They need to know how narrow-minded they are, and how perfect and outstanding my wife is, to dazzle their eyes!

After hearing what the man said, Song Lan, who was still half asleep with her eyes closed, couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Childish."

Before Qin Yanzheng could speak, she blurted out, "Are you sure it's necessary?"

"Absolutely necessary!"

Qin Yanzheng answered without hesitation.

Song Lan finally opened her eyes and laughed again: "Okay, I promise you!"

She gently stroked the man's flawless, handsome face: "Go to sleep. We'll go whenever you say."

As soon as the words left his lips, Song Lan's eyelids drooped, and he fell asleep almost instantly.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yanzheng was taken aback at first, then his eyes softened with tenderness and affection, and he let out a low chuckle.

How can she be so cute?

...

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng, as in the previous two years, went to their adoptive parents' house at noon to pay their respects, but as usual, they did not stay for lunch.

Around mid-afternoon, the two went to meet up with some of Qin Yanzheng's buddies.

Unsurprisingly, upon arriving at the gathering place, Qin Yanzheng's friends and their partners were all instantly amazed when they saw Song Lan.

Even those who had seen Song Lan at Qin Yanzheng's wedding were once again amazed by her beauty upon meeting her again.

After the meal, the men sat together chatting, while their wives sat not far away, also engaged in lively conversation.

At this moment, it was He Qifeng who spoke. He glanced at where Song Lan was sitting, then asked Qin Yanzheng with a smile, "So, how exactly did you manage to marry your sister-in-law?"

"You really want to know?"

Qin Yanzheng did not answer immediately; instead, he raised an eyebrow at He Qifeng.

"Yeah, I'm really curious. If you're a true bro, tell me quickly."

He Qifeng nodded repeatedly, and the others, eager to join in the fun, also nodded vigorously, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"I won't tell you."

Qin Yanzheng glanced at He Qifeng and the others, then picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of tea.

"Can you stop being such a spoilsport? We're all buddies. We're really curious to see such a perfect woman like your wife marry you. Tell us about it and satisfy our curiosity."

He Qifeng continued to work on Qin Yanzheng.

Qin Yanzheng was being stared at by a sea of ​​eyes. He curled the corners of his lips and finally said slowly, "Since you're all so curious, I might as well tell you. But you obviously won't have my luck."

"Tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense!"

He Qifeng urged.

"Hero saves the beauty".

Qin Yanzheng smiled in his dark eyes. He didn't beat around the bush anymore, but he only gave four words.

That's it?

He Qifeng and the others were speechless.

"Yes, that's it."

Qin Yanzheng nodded slightly, his expression not too indifferent.

"Okay, you're awesome!"

He Qifeng gave a thumbs-up.

The others did the same.

"It's alright."

Qin Yanzheng said softly, and He Qifeng, who was standing next to him, deliberately curled his lip and said, "You're getting all cocky just because I said you're fat! It's just that you rescued a damsel in distress and offered yourself in return, look how smug you are!"

"Really? Are you sure you're not mistaken? This isn't normal."

Qin Yanzheng glanced indifferently at He Qifeng and his other buddies, a smile playing on his lips, exuding an air of nonchalance.

To be honest, Qin Yanzheng's friends were unaware of what happened to the original owner of the body, Song Lan.

Okay, even if they've heard some rumors, as good friends, they won't just parrot what others say about their good friend's wife.

The gathering ended around 7:30 p.m.

"Did I embarrass you?"

Back at the Qin family home, Song Lan went upstairs to change her clothes. Then she returned to the living room on the first floor, took Da Bao from Qin Yaxin, sat down next to Qin Yanzheng, and asked a question in a low voice.

"Why even ask?!"

Qin Yanzheng's gaze towards Song Lan was practically dripping with longing. Seeing this, Qin Yaxin blinked and asked curiously, "Big brother, what are you and sister-in-law talking about?"

Her words immediately drew the attention of Qin's father and Qin Yaqing.

Even Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu looked at Qin Yanzheng and Song Lan.

"It's best not to ask too many questions about children."

Qin Yanzheng glanced at Qin Yaxin, then turned his gaze to his father and Qin Yaqing: "Dad, sister, what are you looking at?"

Both of Qin's fathers shook their heads in unison.

Qin Yanzheng then turned his gaze to Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu: "What are you two looking at this time?"

"Brother, my sister and I didn't see anything. I swear to you, we were definitely not watching you and sister-in-law whispering."

Tuanzi Xiaowu said in her childish voice, her little expression not too serious.

The little girl, Xuanxuan, cooperated, her eyes full of innocence, and nodded her little head emphatically.

"Mom and Dad are whispering to each other!"
