Gu Yuheng glanced at the three siblings chatting animatedly, then looked up at the sky.
It's so late, if he doesn't find a way to get his wife to stop, his wedding night is probably going to be ruined.
After glancing at the three who showed no sign of stopping, Gu Yuheng suddenly said, "Wife, I'm hungry."
"Are you hungry?" Lin Chuxia turned to look at him. "How about I go get you something to eat?"
Lin Chuxia ate her New Year's Eve dinner a little early, and several hours have passed now, so it's normal to be hungry. She didn't think much of it.
"Okay, no need for that. I'll just have some dumplings," Gu Yuheng said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoran couldn't stand seeing him enslaving his sister like this, so she bluntly interrupted, "You can eat leftovers; reheating leftovers is quick."
Lin Chuxia had another thought in mind: "Gu Yuheng, how about I get you something else to fill your stomach first? It seems a bit early to eat dumplings now, it's not even midnight yet."
Eating dumplings at midnight, the beginning of the new year, symbolizes the transition to the new year.
Gu Yuheng: "..." He knew that if he hadn't interrupted, his wedding night would have been ruined.
My wife actually wants to stay up all night on New Year's Eve?
No, we must dissuade her from this idea.
Just as Gu Yuheng was thinking of an excuse, Grandma Lin suddenly spoke up cheerfully from inside the house: "Why eat leftovers? Let's just have dumplings. Your grandfather and I are getting old, so we won't be keeping you company this year."
It's like someone offering you a pillow when you're sleepy.
Gu Yuheng immediately chimed in: "Staying up late is bad for your health. Anyway, the Spring Festival is all about family reunions. If you ruin your health for those formalities, then it's not worth it. Not just grandparents and wives, but all of us."
Lin Chuxia: "..."
But how many nights have she and Gu Yuheng stayed up together?
Lin Chuxia felt that something was wrong, but before she could figure it out, Gu Yuheng had already pulled her towards the kitchen.
"Oh dear, slow down, slow down..."
"I'm too hungry, I can't slow down..."
"..."
Watching the two walk away one after the other, Lin Qingze's lips twitched involuntarily.
...
Boiling dumplings doesn't take much time, so they're cooked and ready to serve quickly.
Everyone sat around the table, each with a bowl of dumplings.
Lin Chuxia said to everyone with a grin, "There are surprise dumplings in this pot! I put chestnuts in them. The lucky ones who get chestnut filling will have good fortune and all their wishes come true in the coming year!"
After saying that, she turned around and winked at Gu Yuheng beside her. The latter understood immediately and felt as sweet as if his heart had been filled with honey.
He took a bite of the dumpling and found that the first bite contained chestnut filling.
Gu Yuheng's dark eyes lit up instantly. He was about to share the good news with those around him when he heard Gu Jiu's slightly surprised voice—
"Young Madam, I've tasted the chestnut filling!"
Lin Xiaoran happily exclaimed, "I got to eat some too! I'll have good luck all year round!"
Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin chuckled and said, "Oh, I got to eat some too!"
Everyone had a very surprised expression.
Lin Qingze, who also ate the chestnut filling, glanced at Gu Yuheng with a half-smile: Hehe, does this guy think Xia Xia only treats him specially?
Gu Yuheng: "..."
Suddenly, the dumplings in my bowl didn't taste so good anymore.
