Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Wencheng grunted.
Grandma Gu laughed. She knew that Gu Wencheng was blaming her for telling him about the fireworks and ruining his surprise for Meng Nianyao.
Meng Nianyao was surprised and wanted to ask Gu Wencheng about this, but could only hold it in because the elders were still here.
“Lin Ping, help me in. Let the young people do it. We mother-in-law and daughter-in-law haven’t spoken for a long time.” Grandma Gu reached out her hand to Lin Ping.
Lin Ping nodded and helped Grandma Gu back into the house. Before she left, she glared at Meng Nianyao. Meng Nianyao stood there with her head lowered, looking extremely obedient.
Gu Wencheng turned around and was about to paste the couplets when he saw Meng Nianyao still standing there. He chuckled and nudged her with his elbow. “She’s just like that. Don’t take it to heart, Mrs. Gu.”
“Don’t do this in front of your mother in the future.” Meng Nianyao wanted to say that she would probably have something against her later, but she didn’t get to finish her sentence.
“How is it? Do you want me to hug you?” Gu Wencheng deliberately moved closer to Meng Nianyao. Before she could reply, he hugged her and sneered. “My dear Mrs. Gu, I can hug you however I want.”
Meng Nianyao was so frightened that she quickly looked in the direction of the door, worried that Lin Ping had heard what Gu Wencheng had just said.
After the couplets were pasted, Gu Wencheng grabbed Meng Nianyao’s hand and ran to the back seat of the car to take out the fireworks. Maybe the weather was too cold or something else, but the fireworks couldn’t light up.
“Why don’t we just forget about it?” Meng Nianyao asked. “We can light them tomorrow, too.”
Gu Wencheng did not answer and kept fiddling with the fireworks.
Soon, the hard work paid off. The fireworks were lit, and Gu Wencheng held Meng Nianyao’s hand as they watched the fireworks together. As the fireworks rose into the sky, Gu Wencheng whispered in Meng Nianyao’s ear, “Happy New Year. I love you.”
Meng Nianyao looked at Gu Wencheng with red eyes. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Gu Wencheng on the lips.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Meng Nianyao woke up very late because she had a fight with Gu Wencheng last night. However, to her surprise, Gu Wencheng didn’t get up. Seeing Gu Wencheng’s well-defined sleeping face, she blinked and smiled.
The two of them played around for a while before getting up and leaving.
When they went downstairs, only Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were sitting on the sofa. Grandma Gu looked up when she heard footsteps and saw Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng. She smiled and said,” Happy New Year, Wencheng, Nianyao.”
Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma.” Meng Nianyao smiled and greeted him.
As soon as they sat down on the sofa, Grandma Gu took out two red packets and handed them to Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng. “Nianyao,” she asked,” did Wencheng give you any red packets?”
Meng Nianyao was stunned and subconsciously looked at Gu Wencheng. Was Gu Wencheng still going to give her red packets?
“Grandma,” Gu Wencheng coughed. He had grown up with his grandparents and knew that his grandfather would prepare a red packet for his grandmother every year during the New Year, so he had prepared one for Meng Nianyao very early in advance. However, he had woken up late today.
Grandma Gu smiled and saw Gu Wencheng’s awkwardness, so she didn’t ask further. Grandpa Gu also took out two red packets and handed them to Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao.
“Come, I’ll give you my share too.” Gu Wencheng stuffed the red packet into Meng Nianyao’s hand.
At noon, a voice came from outside the door.
Yin Qiqi was dressed in red when she appeared. She had a sweet smile on her face as she jogged in. Behind her, Mama Yin reminded her worriedly, “Qiqi, slow down.”
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were not around. After breakfast, the two elders went out to visit their old friends, leaving only Lin Ping in the living room. Meng Nianyao had just walked out of the kitchen when she heard Yin Qiqi’s laughter. She paused for a moment before returning to the kitchen.
Yin Qiqi did not see Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu. She was stunned for a moment and asked Lin Ping, “Auntie, where are Grandpa and Grandma?”
Lin Ping smiled. “Qiqi, you’re here. Your grandparents went out to see their old friends.”
“Auntie, Happy New Year. I wish you all the best in your career and that you’ll get younger and younger.” Yin Qiqi stood in front of Lin Ping, her expression as serious as it could be. She was beautiful to begin with, and in her red dress, she looked like a doll from a New Year painting. She was especially likable.
Lin Ping nodded repeatedly, her eyes smiling.
Gu Wencheng came in after a phone call and frowned instinctively when he saw Yin Qiqi and her mother. Yin Qiqi’s family would come to visit him every year. In the past, he didn’t feel anything special, but this year, he was especially annoyed..
