In that instant, something struck Qin Yushen's heart, and a tingling sensation spread throughout his body.
He just stared blankly at her, her big eyes blinking as if they were twinkling with stars, but in reality, they were filled with her love.
Qin Yu took a deep breath, hugged her tightly, buried his head in her neck, and inhaled her familiar scent. "Thank you, my wife. And I love you too."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at how tall he was, bent down and buried her head on her shoulder, and chuckled as she ruffled his hair. "I know."
The two hugged quietly for a while until Lin Xiaoxiao felt a growl from her stomach.
Qin Yushen raised his head, kissed her cheek, and said gently, "I'll go make breakfast, you can rest a little longer."
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people are going to eat glutinous rice balls. Qin Yushen had prepared the ingredients yesterday, and all that was needed was to wrap the glutinous rice balls and put them in the pot.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Someone will definitely come to wish us a Happy New Year later. I'd better get up early."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to sleep in on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, so she got dressed and got up.
She followed behind Qin Yushen and said she wanted to make tangyuan (sweet rice balls) too, and Qin Yushen naturally agreed.
Tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) are easy to make. Simply roll the rested dough into a ball, then press a small indentation in the center with your thumb, put the cooked filling inside, and seal it.
Qin Yushen made two kinds of fillings, sesame and peanut. Lin Xiaoxiao had only eaten the sesame filling before and was looking forward to the peanut filling.
When cooking the glutinous rice balls, Qin Yushen also threw in a few eggs to ensure that the breakfast would at least have protein.
"Peanut filling is also delicious."
Lin Xiaoxiao decided to rank the sesame-filled and peanut-filled glutinous rice balls equally as the best.
Tangyuan (sweet rice balls) are delicious, but you can't eat too many, as they can be too greasy. Lin Xiaoxiao could only manage six before she couldn't eat anymore.
Qin Yushen had anticipated her appetite, and in the end, not a single bite was wasted; it was just right.
Not long after breakfast, people came to wish them a Happy New Year. The first one was naturally Zhu Yuqi, who lived next door and was the closest to them.
Besides Zhu Yuqi, there is also Han Xiu. Although Han Xiu lives in his own house, he gets up early and goes to Zhu Yuqi's place for breakfast as soon as it is light.
Perhaps because Zhu Yuqi was going to Hong Kong after the New Year, Han Xiu would stick to her whenever he wasn't busy.
Their relationship was quite turbulent. Zhu Yuqi had things she had to do and was much more rational and clear-headed than Han Xiu in matters of the heart. This caused Han Xiu to often feel insecure and anxious, and the two often had conflicts over trivial matters.
But ever since Zhu Yuqi applied for a transfer to Hong Kong without consulting Han Xiu, and the two almost broke up, Han Xiu has changed a lot.
Lin Xiaoxiao guessed that Zhu Yuqi might have openly discussed some things with Han Xiu, including the reasons why she had to do certain things.
Han Xiu no longer objected to Zhu Yuqi's trip to Hong Kong; on the contrary, he was quite understanding.
Despite my understanding, Han Xiu will still be clingy.
Even the aloof beauty Zhu Yuqi was somewhat overwhelmed by him.
Every time Lin Xiaoxiao saw the two of them together, she would have a big smile on her face.
Indeed, it's more interesting to watch other people date.
After paying New Year's respects, Han Xiu started complaining to Qin Yushen and Lin Xiaoxiao.
"The old man is really funny. He came to see me in the middle of the night yesterday and asked me to go back today to wish him a Happy New Year. It's hilarious."
Are you afraid that he won't go back on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and that he'll lose face in front of others?
We've been losing face for so many years, and we still haven't gotten used to it.
Han Xiu sneered inwardly.
"Doesn't he like that bitch's son? Does he have to worry about not having a son to pay him New Year's greetings?"
"Even if you beg me to go back, I won't."
"Brother Han, is your dad really Commander Han Ming?" Lin Xiaoxiao also sighed. Han Ming didn't seem like a clueless person.
How could she drive away both of her biological sons for the sake of a stepson?
Han Xiu nodded. "If you're talking about the commander of the Beijing Military Region named Han Ming, then you're right."
Zhu Yuqi looked at him, her face as cold as ever, but the emotion in her eyes changed slightly. She said, "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back."
A father who can't think straight is useless to us.
Han Xiu immediately grabbed her arm, "Then you have to take me in."
Zhu Yuqi: "......"
"Just take him in, Xiao Qiqi." Lin Xiaoxiao laughed.
Zhu Yuqi will definitely take him in, without a doubt.
Han Xiu, who had been taken in, was finally satisfied and asked Qin Yushen, "Are you and your sister-in-law going back to the Qin family?"
Qin Xiaoshen is different from him. What Han Ming did was even more disgusting than Qin Jinye. When his mother was pregnant with their second child, Han Ming was too busy in the army to take care of her, so he hired a nanny. At that time, he was only eight years old and was of primary school age.
That day, when he came home from school, he heard from his neighbor that his mother had fallen at home and had a difficult childbirth and was hospitalized.
He rushed to the hospital, only to find his baby brother being delivered via cesarean section. His mother, however, had died in childbirth, and he didn't even get to see her one last time.
Han Ming questioned the nanny about how she was taking care of him. The nanny said that his mother wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on going upstairs by herself, and wouldn't let her follow. She was worried, but his mother scolded her, and in the end, she fell down the stairs. It was his mother's own fault.
Han Xiu didn't believe it. Even though he was young at the time, his mother was a gentle person and would never hit or scold the nanny.
The nanny made such a big mistake and should have been fired, but instead, she cried to Han Ming, saying that her husband was abusing her and that if she lost her job, she would be beaten to death. Since the second child was still young and Han Ming was busy, he kept the nanny on the job.
After his mother passed away, the nanny changed completely, and in private, she not only abused him but also his infant brother.
