Wen Nian unconsciously touched his lips, savoring the feeling from just now. He smiled, his eyes filled with laughter.
He didn't sleep all night and even wrote a sincere short essay to Lin Yusheng to apologize to her.

After finishing up the follow-up matters in Lucheng, the family of three planned to return to Jiangnan for the Spring Festival.
Lu Zhengye was nervous every day from the moment he learned he was going to Jiangnan.
Lin Yusheng comforted him while feeling nervous herself.
While Lu Zhengye was taking a shower, Lin Yusheng secretly went to the balcony to make a phone call to her mother.
When the call connected, almost everyone on Jiang Yuanshuang's end was home.
The Lin family values family reunions, so they put aside their work and go home for the Lunar New Year almost every year.
Jiang Yuanshuang said with a smile, "Your maternal grandparents knew you were coming back, so they insisted on decorating the yard, saying they would make you happy as soon as you saw it."
"Grandpa and Grandma are so kind."
Lin Mu was also eager to take credit, "Daddy is great too. Daddy brewed the wine himself. It's sweet, and I'm sure you'll like it, little girl."
"Okay, thank you, Dad~"
Lin Yusheng looked at her brother, "And Lin Jingyu, what about you?"
"Me? We're of the same generation, why should I prepare anything for you?" Lin Jingyu said, tilting his head back.
"It's been so long since I've seen your beautiful sister, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Lin Yusheng pretended to be angry.
Lin Jingyu chuckled, "Yes, I did miss you."
He had barely finished speaking when Lin Mu and Jiang Yuanshuang pushed him off the screen.
Lin Mu glared at him, "Really, all you do is say unpleasant things all day long."
"Nannan, let's ignore him. Tell Daddy how you and Fanfan are doing? Have you lost weight?"
Jiang Yuanshuang: "Yes, is Fanfan asleep?"
“Fanfan is asleep. Mom, Dad, and Brother, actually, I called you to talk about what happened last time,” Lin Yusheng said.
Lin Jingyu squeezed back into the screen, and the smiles of the three people on the other side of the screen faded at the same time.
Lin Yusheng had previously told them not to make things difficult for Lu Zhengye.
Jiang Yuanshuang said, "Can't Mom and Dad eat him? You've told us so many times already, just how afraid are you that we'll make things difficult for him?"
Lin Yusheng chuckled, "Of course I know. I just want you to be more enthusiastic and more tolerant of him. I want him to feel the warmth of home, and I want him to feel that our home is a harbor where he can find refuge."
“He may not be the son-in-law you want. You may feel sorry for what I’ve been through all these years and have some complaints about him, but I still want you to treat him better and better. I only have one love in my life, and I’m afraid he’ll be scared away.”
Lin Yusheng made a joke to lighten the mood.
“I know these words are a bit selfish to you who have always thought of me, but Mom, Dad, and Brother, I’m just as anxious as A-Ye. I really hope you can get along well.”
After Lin Yusheng finished speaking, she nervously stared at her phone screen.
There was no reply for a long time, so Lin Yusheng said nervously, "I'm done talking."
Jiang Yuanshuang and Lin Mu exchanged a glance, then smiled helplessly. "We know. You've told us these things more than once. Aren't you just afraid we won't take it to heart and might say something that hurts your sweetheart?"
Lin Jingyu felt uneasy. "You haven't even had your wedding yet, and you're already so devoted to him. What will you be like in the future?"
“That’s right, your brother is right,” Lin Mu agreed.
Lin Yusheng looked apologetic and clasped her hands together, saying, "Please, my dear parents and brother, take care of me."
As for his maternal grandparents, Lin Yusheng wasn't worried at all; given their personalities, they certainly wouldn't make things difficult for Ah Ye.
Jiang Yuanshuang smiled indulgently, "I know, even if we're just acting, we'll still show our goodwill."
Lin Yusheng nodded in satisfaction, "And what about Dad? And you, Lin Jingyu?"
Although Lin Mu was unwilling, he could only spoil his own daughter, "provided that she knows what's good for her and doesn't take advantage of his kindness."
“Ah Ye wouldn’t do that,” Lin Yusheng couldn’t help but defend Lu Zhengye.
Lin Muyu also said, "I'm the same as Dad."
...
When Lu Zhengye came out, Lin Yusheng had already hung up the phone.
"Are you done washing?"
"Mm." Lu Zhengye walked over and hugged Lin Yusheng from behind.
Lin Yusheng chuckled and said, "Still nervous?"
"……No."
Lin Yusheng nodded, "If you hesitated, then it means you have it."
Lu Zhengye: "..."
Lin Yusheng turned around, cupped his face, and said very seriously, "Don't be nervous, my parents are very satisfied with you."
"Stop trying to comfort me."
"I wasn't trying to comfort you."
Lu Zhengye lightly pecked Lin Yusheng's lips, then said, "It's okay. If they're not satisfied with me, I'll do my best to make them satisfied."
Lin Yusheng chuckled and reached out to rub his face. "You're overthinking it."

On the evening of Lunar New Year's Eve.
The Lin family was busily preparing for their reunion dinner.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating seeing Lin Yusheng and her family.
"Xiao Yu, put in more filling. Sheng Sheng loves thin-skinned and generously filled dumplings," Su Linghua said.
Lin Jingyu was languid and said, "Then I'll make it for Lu Zhengye."
"Tsk, that's your brother-in-law." Su Linghua glared at him.
...
When they heard the sound of a car outside, the whole family ran out at the same time.
Jiang Yiting was overjoyed, "My darling Fanfan!"
As soon as Lu Shifan was carried off the car, he heard his great-grandfather's voice, and he instantly smiled sweetly.
"Great-Grandpa, I'm here."
The grandmother and grandson hugged each other affectionately.
Lin Yusheng and Lu Zhengye walked over hand in hand, with Lu Zhengye carrying many gifts.
"Dad, Mom, I brought Aye back."
Lu Zhengye, who was usually a shrewd strategist in the business world, was extremely nervous at this moment. He awkwardly called out, "Dad, Mom."
In fact, Lin Mu and Jiang Yuanshuang were not completely used to this title either, and they were stunned for two seconds before happily agreeing.
Lin Jingyu, standing to the side with considerable anticipation, asked, "What about me?"
Lu Zhengye glanced at him, then said, "Lin Jingyu, long time no see."
Lin Jingyu: "...Do you think this is what I want to hear?"
During this brief moment, Su Linghua had already taken a good look at Lu Zhengye.
She was quite satisfied and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, let's not stand here chatting anymore, it's still a bit chilly, let's go inside."
Su Linghua wanted to go forward and help Lu Zhengye carry the things, but Lu Zhengye quickly refused, saying, "This isn't heavy, I can do it."
Lin Mu glanced at Lin Jingyu, who sighed but still stepped forward and said to Lu Zhengye, "Brother-in-law, let me do it."
Lin Jingyu called him that on purpose.
Lu Zhengye was older than Lin Jingyu, and he both loved and hated this nickname.
So, with a smile that concealed a dagger, he gave everything to Lin Jingyu, saying, "Thank you."
Lin Jingyu was caught off guard when he received it, and his fingers almost broke.
