The noise maker was Jiu Jiu.
As Pea was climbing up the stairs with a snowball in her hand, she bumped into Jin Sinan coming out of the room with a head of ssy hair.
She mischievously made a shy face, "Uncle Jin, you’re so lazy, I’ve been up and playing for a long ti."
Jin Sinan, "..."
Being disdained by a little kid, he actually had nothing to say.
After the hangover, his head was a bit sore, he awkwardly scratched his scalp, "Where’s your aunt?"
Although Pea was mischievous, she wasn’t a brat. As Jin Sinan squatted in front of her, she could easily have stuffed the snowball into his clothes, but she didn’t.
She focused on shaping the snowball, answering in her childish voice, "Auntie is in the yard, I ca to wake up Uncle for lunch."
Wanxia lived alone, had no friends in Qing City, and no family, so naturally, she spent the year with Mu Jinhuan and Nan Wan.
When Jin Sinan finished freshening up and left the house holding the little dumpling, Wanxia was putting a hat on Jiu Jiu.
Snow that fell overnight had temporarily stopped, she smiled warmly like the sun shining on the earth, deliberately elongating her tone, "Tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Jin, you’re so important, my brother’s whole family is waiting for you, even to have lunch, Jiu Jiu and Pea had to personally co invite you."
As if, the awkwardness of last night never happened.
Jin Sinan’s heart suddenly cald down, he couldn’t force her, he needed to give her ti to adjust.
He raised his eyebrows, with a smile between his brows, "Isn’t it obvious who I am?"
The usually silent Mr. Jiu Jiu glanced at him, calmly said two words, "Narcissist," then turned around, leaving a cool figure.
Jin Sinan, "..."
————
After lunch, Mr. and Mrs. Mu went upstairs to enjoy their ti together, leaving Wanxia with the task of looking after the kids.
The world of Pea and Jiu Jiu actually had no place for others. Wanxia was just there to pour water or peel fruit for them, the maids could do that too, but she enjoyed it.
Jin Sinan looked at Wanxia, softly called her na, "Wanwan."
"Hmm?"
"How about having the New Year’s Eve dinner with at ho tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Wanxia paused her apple-peeling.
Going ho ant eting the parents...
The disappointnt in Jin Sinan’s eyes flashed briefly, disappearing almost imdiately, as if he never had such emotion.
He placed the teacup on the coffee table, ran his fingers through the woman’s soft long hair, and with a smile said, "Just kidding, I have to head to the airport, if I stay any longer I might miss the plane, then my mom would start her endless nagging, help tell your brother and sister-in-law."
The servant brought Jin Sinan’s coat, he said goodbye to Pea and Jiu Jiu.
Wanxia put down the apple, stood up, "I’ll see you off."
Jin Sinan pressed Wanxia back onto the sofa, "It’s cold outside," he held her hand and kissed it, his voice low and pleasant, "Just rember to miss ."

The Mu Family and the Nan Family were all celebrating the New Year together, and the North Shore Villa was bustling with activity.
The older generation left after dinner, leaving space for the younger ones.
Outside were the crackling firecrackers and the drifting snow, inside were joyful laughter, and the playful sounds of children were lively and light.
Huo Yihan, who had gone to An City for an award ceremony, also returned, Xu Moyi turned into the helpless Lin of not opening a bottle cap; Mu Jinhuan sat beside Nan Wan, Nan Ze held Shen Zhii, Mu Jinqian and Su Lu Yao were usually very low-key, but when it ca to showing affection, they didn’t hold back.
Only Wanxia was alone.
No one treated her as an outsider, so she didn’t feel lonely.
"Oh my god!"
Xu Moyi nestled in her husband’s arms browsing Weibo, suddenly sat up straight at sothing she saw.
Staring at the phone screen without blinking, her jaw almost dropped.
Her voice wasn’t low, attracting everyone’s attention, except for the kids engrossed in their gas.
Wanxia was sitting right next to her, asked sowhat cluelessly, "What happened?"
Xu Moyi, being straightforward, imdiately handed her phone to Wanxia, "Check it out, fairy, the news about the celebrity Shen Weiyi overshadowed the Spring Festival Gala and beca the top trending topic."
Nan Wan wanted to say sothing, but it was too late.
The glamorous photos of Shen Weiyi were posted online by an anonymous source, although pixelated, the content was quite shocking.
So said she missed the award ceremony probably because she was indulging with a man and lost track of ti.
Shen Weiyi, who had a ten-year career and a pure, elegant image, had her goddess image completely collapse with such photos being exposed.
