Because he had studied under Su Lang, Su Jue's posture in holding his daughter was very standard.

After a few words of coaxing, Su Yao had already fallen asleep leaning on her father's shoulder.

Her little hands were still clutching his buttons, refusing to let go.

First, take the two elderly people to their room.

The two families then returned to their respective rooms.

After settling her daughter in, Su Lang returned to the small room to find Lin Zhilan sitting at her dressing table getting her hair done.

She changed into her everyday cotton pajamas, the neckline slightly open, revealing a small section of her fair neck.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down, the ends curling slightly as it rested on her shoulders, swaying gently with each movement.

Su Lang was thoroughly enjoying the scene before him.

The warm yellow light enveloped his wife, softly outlining the contours of her profile.

When she raised her hand, her sleeve slipped down a bit, revealing her fair and delicate wrist.

Lin Zhilan glanced at him in the mirror and put down the comb.

"Can you help me with this?"

Su Lang's gaze lingered for a moment on the slightly open collar of his manhood before shifting away.

He saw his wife's invitation as nothing less than a seduction.

Su Lang walked behind his wife, gathered her hair with one hand, and took a comb in the other, combing it from the top of her head down.

Lin Zhilan rummaged through the drawer and took out red envelopes and money, preparing to give the children red envelopes tomorrow.

"The red envelopes Mom gave us seem too big. We didn't prepare anything for them," Lin Zhilan said while wrapping the red envelopes.

The family of four each received a red envelope containing five ten-yuan bills.

That adds up to two hundred yuan.

I imagine my second brother and sister-in-law's family is the same.

If I come back for the Lunar New Year, my parents' savings will shrink.

"My parents are rich," Su Lang said casually.

He swept his wife's neatly combed hair to one side, revealing the excessively white skin on the back of her neck.

A few loose strands of hair clung to her, fine and soft.

His fingers casually brushed past, parting a few stray strands of hair, his fingertips rubbing against the skin on the back of her neck, feeling the roughness of the calluses.

Lin Zhilan flinched.

"It itches, be careful."

Su Lang's mind was no longer on the conversation.

His hand paused there, his thumb pressing lightly on the hollow of her nape, then he placed his palm on it.

Lin Zhilan looked at him through the mirror.

Su Lang has long eyelashes. The light shines from the side, making the lines of his nose bridge very sharp, and the contours of his jawline are also clearly defined.

good looking.

but……

Lin Zhilan said, "Commander Su, are you blinded by lust again?"

"Yes."

Su Lang bent down, his lips close to her ear, "Who told you to seduce me?"

Lin Zhilan wanted to argue, so she reached out to push him.

But he grabbed her and pressed her against his chest.

My hand touched his firm chest through his sweater, and my heart pounded so hard it made me nervous.

"This time last year..."

Su Lang, in this position, wrapped his arms around her from behind and gently pressed her against the dressing table.

He ran his fingers through her hair, slowly combing it from the top of her head back.

My fingertips brushed against my scalp, sending a tingling, numbing sensation through me.

Su Lang lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers.

"Su Lang..."

Lin Zhilan's voice trembled, "Tomorrow is the first day of the lunar month..."

Su Lang hummed in agreement, his lips remaining on her lips.

Instead, it slowly moved upwards along the side of her neck.

When he passed over that small patch of particularly sensitive skin behind her ear, he clearly felt his wife's breathing quicken for a moment.

Su Lang stopped and gently took that piece of skin in his mouth.

Lin Zhilan suddenly gripped his wrist tightly.

Su Lang tightened his grip on her waist with his other hand, and lifted her chin slightly.

The light from the room shimmered on the two of them, and their shadows on the wall overlapped, merging into one.

……

New Year's Day.

Before dawn, the sound of firecrackers began to ring out outside.

Su Lang covered his wife's ears and kissed her forehead. "Happy New Year. Sleep a little longer. I'll make breakfast and then wake you up."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhilan shrank back into the quilt.

Being able to stay in bed in the dead of winter is a blessing.

When she woke up again, she was awakened by her daughter.

The little girl, dressed in her pajamas, lay on her mother's pillow, poking her face with her tiny hand, "Mommy~ wake up."

Lin Zhilan tucked her daughter into bed, saying, "Sleep for another five minutes."

"One, two, three, four, five, five minutes are up!"

Linlin squirmed and twisted in bed like a little mudfish.

Lin Zhilan was completely awakened by her daughter's noise. Opening her eyes and looking into her daughter's bright eyes, she couldn't help but laugh: "You little rascal, you won't let Mommy sleep, will you?"

"Mommy's hungry~"

Lin Zhilan shook her head helplessly and sat up to dress her daughter.

The new clothes that I prepared last night were placed next to the bed.

Inside was a red turtleneck sweater, and outside was a royal blue corduroy padded jacket with a snow-white lambswool trim around the collar and cuffs.

Linlin liked it very much and would unconsciously rub her face against it.

Her skin was already fair, and the red sweater and royal blue coat made her cheeks look rosy. Her eyes were big and bright, and when she stood there, she looked like a little lucky baby from a New Year's painting.

Lin Zhilan was charmed by her daughter's cuteness and couldn't help but kiss her twice on the cheek. "Go on, go downstairs and wish Grandpa, Grandma, and your second uncle and aunt a Happy New Year. Do you know how to do it?"

"I know, I know," Linlin said, cupping her hands in a gesture of respect. "Happy New Year, and may you prosper!"

"Oh, right!" Lin Zhilan clapped her hands with a smile, "Go on, be careful when you go down the stairs."

"Okay!"

As soon as the little girl went out, she bumped into Jiang Chengzhou, who had just come out.

The boy was also wearing a dark red sweater today.

Lin Zhilan originally planned for him and his sister to use the same color yarn, but he thought his sister's red was too bright, so he specially chose this darker one.

Ironically, he looked surprisingly good in that color.

My face, tanned in the summer, finally turned white again after being covered up all winter.

Paired with a dark red sweater, he already has a touch of dashing young man about him.

"elder brother!"

Linlin ran over, and Jiang Chengzhou was about to catch her when he saw that the little girl had already stopped.

"Happy New Year! Wishing you prosperity!" The little girl greeted the new year with her hands clasped together, beaming with joy.

Jiang Chengzhou brushed aside a few stray hairs sticking up from her head. "Happy New Year!"

The brother and sister started chatting right there at the door as soon as they met.

Of course, most of the time it was Linlin chattering on and on.

Jiang Chengzhou listened patiently.

The little girl finally stopped talking after Lin Zhilan changed her clothes and came out.

"Happy New Year, Auntie!"

Happy New Year, Chengzhou!

On the first day of the new year, Lin Zhilan was overjoyed to see her two precious children.

"Let's go downstairs to pay New Year's visits."

The area downstairs is already bustling with activity.

Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng sat on the sofa, with fruit plates and various candies, peanuts and melon seeds on the coffee table in front of them.

Deng Jing arrived first with Su Pei and Su Yao.

Both little girls were wearing new clothes and had identical pigtails.

Su Jue and Su Lang were busy in the kitchen, and they were not seen for the time being.
