But sometimes I still miss you all! Although I don't know if we celebrate Lunar New Year's Eve there too, I still want to send you my blessings in advance: May you enjoy good health and all the best in the new year!
Qin Yanzheng was heartbroken to hear Song Lan's heartfelt words. Under the table, he squeezed his lover's hand tighter and whispered in her ear, seemingly casually, "Your children and I will always be your family! We will always love you! I am so grateful that you came into my life and became the love of my life!"
"you……"
Song Lan was moved, but at the same time she was stunned.
Could it be that Qin Yanzheng knows I'm not his ex-wife?
“You know…”
Meeting Song Lan's gaze, Qin Yanzheng's eyes softened, and a smile played on his lips: "What do you know? My great general!"
"when?"
When did he find out?
Song Lan was shocked.
“Wife, I can hear your thoughts! After I woke up, I accidentally heard your thoughts and learned about my family, including myself…” Before Qin Yanzheng could finish speaking, Song Lan glared at him and silenced him.
"Don't say that again!"
Her cheeks flushed, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Mom and Dad, what are you whispering about?"
Qin Junning's clear voice suddenly rang out, immediately drawing the attention of everyone else in the family to Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng.
When she met everyone's curious gazes, Song Lan suppressed her discomfort and replied, "We weren't whispering."
Seeing this, Qin Yanzheng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Right, we weren't whispering. Okay, even if we were, how could we whisper it in front of everyone?!"
Song Lan blushed and glared at the man, "Shut up!"
"Okay, okay, I'll shut my mouth!"
Qin Yanzheng nodded with a smile, his eyes filled with such doting affection that they could drown a person.
Wow! Daddy spoils Mommy so much!
Qin Junning called out "Sibao" with a cheerful laugh, and instantly, the living room was filled with laughter!

The winter wind was biting cold. Han Bailan, with the slap mark on her face, ignored her child's crying and her in-laws' pleas and ran out of the house. She wanted to go back to town, back to her own home, to have her family stand up for her, to make Zhao Jing kneel before her and repent, to see if he would dare to lay a hand on her again!
"What are you still lying there for? Go out and chase after your wife!"
When Zhao's mother pushed open the door to Zhao Jing's bedroom, she saw her son lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, legs crossed, humming a song, completely as if nothing had happened. She was so angry that she felt a pain in her chest.
"I'm not going!"
Zhao Jing's tone was impatient: "If she wants to run away, let her run away. If you want me to go out and find her, I'll not only freeze myself, but she might also embarrass me in the street, thinking that I took pictures of her!"
Aren't you worried that your wife will run back to her parents' house and complain?
Zhao's mother was heartbroken about her son and daughter-in-law's marriage. The way they got together from the beginning was criticized. She thought the couple would live a good life after marriage, but neither of them was easy to deal with. They had a small argument every two days and a big argument every three days. If it were just that, it would be fine, but the problem was that they started to fight each other during the arguments.
Neither side would give way to the other, resulting in a significant power imbalance between the men and women. Her son didn't suffer any losses, but her daughter-in-law was beaten quite a bit.
She and her husband tried to persuade her many times, but to no avail.
To be honest, as a mother, she really has no way to deal with such a reckless son!
"Don't worry, she wouldn't dare."
If she wanted to go back to her parents' home to complain, would that woman Han Bailan have waited until now?
After all, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this!
"You say you wouldn't dare, but if you've laid a hand on your daughter more than once, wouldn't you storm into our house and beat you to death? Listen to me, go and find your wife right now!"
Zhao's mother urged him on.
"Mom, stop nagging. I said Han Bailan wouldn't dare, and she won't dare. Just wait, she'll come back on her own in less than an hour, just like before."
Zhao Jing curled his lips: "Back then, in order to marry into our family and live a good life, she shamelessly took the initiative to seduce me. If she hadn't used pregnancy to coerce me, I would never have wanted to marry her."
"These past few years, I've hit her, and frankly, it's all her own fault. I was already engaged to Feng Yuanyuan, but she was the one who provoked me, causing our engagement to fall through and leaving me with this lifelong regret. Honestly, the only reason I didn't beat her to death is because your son is kind!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?! If you had been able to control yourself back then, do you think it would have made any difference even if she had provoked you?"
It wasn't that Zhao's mother favored her daughter-in-law Han Bailan; it was that she felt her son was too useless, unable to resist even the slightest temptation, which caused him to miss out on a good marriage with the Feng family.
Indeed, in Zhao's mother's opinion, although the marriage with the Feng family could not be considered a true match in terms of social standing, it was definitely better than marrying into the Han family.
On the one hand, the Feng family's children are all quite successful; on the other hand, Feng Yuanyuan seems to be a very honest and decent girl, not to mention she has a good appearance. If she were to marry her, her grandchildren would certainly not be bad off in the future.
Whether it's appearance or intelligence.
Most importantly, her son likes the Feng family girl, and the fact that the two families were able to arrange the marriage shows that the Feng family girl is also satisfied with her son. As a result, the two young people will undoubtedly live a harmonious and happy life after marriage!
Therefore, compared to Feng Yuanyuan, a daughter of the Feng family, Zhao's mother naturally looked down on Han Bailan, especially since Han Bailan had forced the two families to marry in a way that made the marriage a fait accompli. Although Zhao Jing was partly to blame, in Zhao's mother's mind, Han Bailan was the one at fault the most.
Her reasoning was that if Han Bailan had enough self-respect, how could something like "making a fuss over nothing" have happened?
Therefore, when Han Bailan entered the Zhao family, Zhao's mother appeared to treat her daughter-in-law well on the surface, but in reality, she looked down on her from the bottom of her heart.
It was precisely because of this that whenever Zhao Jing made a move against Han Bailan, although Zhao's mother would verbally stop her son, she never took any action.
The same goes for Zhao's father. Whenever Zhao Jing laid a hand on Han Bailan, he would always scold him sternly, but he never disciplined him!
To put it bluntly, it's simply that Han Bailan wasn't the daughter-in-law the Zhao family wanted to marry.
"I was young and impulsive back then, and Han Bailan was trying to seduce me. Unless I had a problem in that area, I wouldn't have been able to resist her charms."
Zhao Jing, with a nonchalant expression, sat up and looked at his mother, saying, "That matter happened a few years ago, Mom. Please don't bring it up in front of me again. Otherwise, I wish I could go back to that time and slap myself awake, so I wouldn't have to marry that shrew Han Bailan into our family."
"Alright, I won't bring up the past, but you have to go and get your wife back now!"
Zhao's mother's face darkened, but Zhao Jing was as stubborn as a mule: "I said I'm not going!"
