"Happy New Year, daughter-in-law."
The moment Shen Qingli opened her eyes, she heard Meng Xiao's low voice, with a hint of hoarseness that was unique to waking up in the early morning, and it sounded very... well... sexy.
"Happy New Year, husband."
She squinted her eyes and responded softly.
"Here, this is your New Year's red envelope." Meng Xiao took out a red envelope from under the pillow and put it in her hand. Shen Qingli immediately perked up and squeezed it. Wow, it's quite thick?
Shen Qingli opened it and saw that there were several hundred yuan in it. He turned his head happily and looked at the man who was half lying on the bed.
"Are you hiding some private money, Meng Xiaoxiao?"
"No, please don't accuse me. How could I dare to do that? I asked my mom for it last night."
Shen Qingli didn't expect that he could talk about relying on his parents so confidently.
"Are you ashamed? You're already an adult, and you're still asking me for money. I'm sure I'll suspect that I'm mistreating you and not giving you any money."
"Of course not. Mom only has you in her heart now. There is no place for her son like me. Besides, what's wrong with giving some money to her daughter-in-law? She would like you to spend her money." Meng Xiao sat up and put his arm around Shen Qingli's shoulders.
"Get up, you've slept until now, it's time for lunch." Shen Qingli found that he could sleep more and more, and his sleep quality was very good. He didn't wake up until lunch time every day, and he could take a nap in the afternoon, and he could still sleep soundly at night. It was really an enviable sleep~
"Give me the pink and white cotton jacket hanging there, and then give Mom the lavender one with dark patterns hanging next to it. It's a New Year's gift for Mom."
The buttoned, traditional Chinese-style Tang suit jacket, with its lavender background embroidered with subtle patterns, was elegant and impressive. Shen Qingli snatched it from the hanger in her space the moment she saw it. She rummaged through the warehouse and found another, just enough for each of the two mothers. Perfect!
After Meng Xiao left, Shen Qingli went into the space to wash up and put on some light makeup. Then she came out, picked up Naitang and helped her dress him: "Little Naitang, do you like this dress? It's New Year's Eve, so we have to dress in style."
She dressed Naitang in a furry red Tang suit vest, which was so cute and beautiful against Naitang's pure white fluffy fur! If you look closely, you can see a few words embroidered in gold thread on the back of Naitang's clothes, which read "good luck and good fortune"~
"Even milk candies have gifts, so I'm the only one who doesn't have any?" Meng Xiao leaned his tall body against the door frame and looked at Shen Qingli.
"Can we leave you out? I just took it out, try it on." Shen Qingli pointed to a set of clothes on the hanger. Meng Xiao stood in front of her and put his arm around her waist, tightening it. He looked deeply at his little girl and said in an ambiguous tone: "You're sending me away with just one set of clothes?"
Damn, the old man is seducing again! Come on, who’s afraid of who, let’s pull it to the limit!
Shen Qingli's slender, white index finger gently slid across the man's eyebrows, the tips of his eyebrows, under his eyes, and down his nose, stopping at his sexy thin lips. She gently pressed his lip peak, leaned in close, and exhaled like orchid: "So what do you want?"
Meng Xiao reached out and gently grasped her wrist: "Are you playing with fire?"
As soon as the words fell, Shen Qingli burst out laughing, pushed him away, and then burst into laughter. She coughed with laughter. Meng Xiao stroked her back and said helplessly: "Is it so funny?"
Wasn't he just asking if she was playing with fire?
Shen Qingli's words reminded him of the domineering CEO novels he used to read. All those domineering CEOs had a common phrase that never faded: "Woman, are you playing with fire?"
When she saw it, she thought it was quite sexy. Hahaha, she couldn't believe how it could be so funny coming out of Meng Xiao's mouth!
"It's okay, it's okay. Sorry, I just thought of something funny." Shen Qingli managed to control his expression with great difficulty, but when he turned around and saw Meng Xiao, he almost broke down in a second.
No, I can’t look at him anymore. As soon as I look at him, I think of the sentence:
Woman you are playing with fire.
"Let's go. I'll go first. You change your clothes and take the two jars of wine on my dressing table. I'll give them to Grandpa and Dad later. This is good stuff. I made this medicinal wine under the guidance of Grandpa Chen when I went to the countryside. The ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and other medicinal herbs in it are all soaked in spiritual spring water. It's very good for the body!"
Shen Qingli walked towards the front yard first, holding the candy. On the way, she happened to meet her mother-in-law coming out of the house happily wearing a new cotton-padded jacket.
"Happy New Year, Mom."
"Happy New Year, Qingli. The cotton-padded jacket you gave me is really beautiful. I like it very much. I won't say thank you to you, as it would seem awkward."
Ye Qiu said as he pulled at his sleeves.
"I think you'll look good in it too. Mom, let's go together. I wonder what delicious food Aunt Zhang will cook today. I'm hungry." Shen Qingli was really hungry. How could he not be hungry after slept until noon and drank a glass of spiritual spring water!
"Let's go!" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked off arm in arm like sisters. "Hey, I just saw that Naitang also wore new clothes for the New Year. They look so beautiful. Qingli, how come you are so good at making clothes!"
Ye Qiu had always assumed that the clothes Shen Qingli wore were unseen on the market because she made them herself. Shen Qingli brushed it off with a perfunctory answer and passed on without further explanation. Let everyone assume that, otherwise it would be hard to explain.
When I arrived at the front hall, of course I received a lot of flattery from Meng Kexin. It is said that flattery never wears out, no matter how many holes it has. Who doesn't like to be praised?
"Okay, stop flattering me. What you're wearing looks great too. You picked it out yourself." Shen Qingli also asked Meng Kexin to pick out the Chinese-style gold velvet and off-white cotton-padded jacket herself.
In comparison, the clothes worn by Meng Ling, Meng Li, and Shen Jiayao from the third room were much duller. They were actually new clothes made just for the New Year, but they just weren't as exquisite and beautiful as the ones they were wearing. Wu Zhaodi and Meng Jianye weren't here today, but the younger generation from the third room were all here.
