~3 minute read · 677 words

The mid and upper management of the Gu Family came and went in waves, and there were also people coming in the morning to pay respects to Han Jingchen. After all, apart from New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year when he’s at home, he usually stays with his wife at the Yue Family’s place. The house finally quieted down around noon.

Of course, everyone understands that this is part of the New Year customs.

Some people brought young family members along, and both Mr. Gu and Gu Wanqing gave out quite a number of red envelopes today, though young Han Chaojun received quite a few himself.

We had a lively lunch, and by the afternoon, guests were rare, so some of us set up a mahjong table.

Old Madam Gu joined her daughter, daughters-in-law, and granddaughter for a game, while Mr. Gu took young Junjun out to play chess with old friends, and the rest handled logistics at home.

They were so attentive, afraid of being outdone, scurrying in and out, creating quite a bustling scene.

Gu Wanqing originally wanted Xinyan and He Jinxuan to stay over for the night, but they said they hadn’t brought gifts for the next day’s visit to the Han Family, to avoid having to get up early, so they planned to meet the family tomorrow at the Han Family’s old house.

Little Junjun didn’t want his sister to leave, tears shimmering in his eyes: "See you tomorrow."

Xinyan, seeing him like this, was about to hold him for comfort when Gu Wanqing stopped her: "You’re pregnant now, you must be careful. Our Junjun is going to be an uncle soon, he won’t throw tantrums, right?"

Xinyan glanced at her mother, then at her brother who was previously acting mature, but now holding back tears, and suddenly started laughing.

Seeing this, Little Junjun burst into tears, mumbling: "I’m not going to like you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xinyan understood that her laughter had upset him: "Junjun, I wasn’t laughing at you. I was just thinking that since I’m leaving, it wouldn’t be right to drag the farewells, so I wanted to leave with a smile."

Unexpectedly, her attempt to comfort him only made him cry harder: "Now that sister has a baby... she’s not going to care for Junjun anymore."

Everyone exchanged glances at his words.

Xinyan thought there must be a reason for him saying this. Remembering that his grandfather took him out earlier, she gently asked: "Who told you that I won’t care for Junjun?"

The little one cried even harder at being questioned: "They all said, now that sister has her own baby, she won’t care for me anymore."

Old Madam Gu shot a glance at Mr. Gu standing nearby: "See what you’ve done? Did you irresponsibly leave him with others again?"

Mr. Gu guiltily touched his nose and cleared his throat: "The Li Family’s grandkids were there, so I thought they could play together and let them look after Junjun for a while."

Xinyan pressed her forehead against her brother’s: "People were just teasing you, why did you take it seriously? And if your sister cares for you or not, can’t you feel it yourself?"

Thinking about the toys he received before the New Year, the little one finally stopped crying: "Really?"

Xinyan playfully nudged his nose: "Where’s that smart brain of yours gone?"

The little one, perhaps his IQ now fully functional, felt a bit embarrassed and buried his face into his mother’s neck like a quail.

Xinyan ruffled his hair: "I’ll be off then. See you tomorrow at the old house, and I’ll bring you some nice preserved fruits."

The little one didn’t turn around but waved a hand at her.

As she was about to reach the doorway, he said, slightly nasal: "See you early tomorrow."

Xinyan naturally understood his meaning: "Got it."
