Lu Yichen poured the wine, following the grandfather’s old custom, muttered a few words holding the wine glass, and then set it aside.
Only then did he signal the Big Brother to speak, and Lu Yixuan didn’t refuse: "It’s another New Year’s Eve. I hope everyone’s wishes co true and everything goes smoothly in the new year!"
Everyone then started talking and laughing as they began the al.
This year’s topic shifted to Lu Ran. The previous relationship didn’t work out, which was just what Wang Xiaoxin wanted.
Guan Yuqi laughed and asked, "Ran Ran, tell your aunt what kind you want, and I’ll help keep an eye out for you."
Lu Ran, a bit embarrassed, put her hands together and said, "Please spare ; I’m about to start my graduate studies. Maybe I’ll et my destined one then."
Everyone laughed at her expression.
Wang Xiaoxin gave her daughter a sideways glance.
Luo Qiao spoke up, "Sister-in-law, actually, I think Ran Ran is right. She’s not that old now. Even if she gets married after her graduate studies, it’s still not late."
Lu Ran quickly gave a thumbs up to her second aunt: "Second aunt, you’re the wise one."
Luo Qiao smiled lightly and said, "It’s not being wise; I just think marriage is a lifeti event. Our Ran Ran is good-looking, well-educated, and cos from a nice family. She’ll definitely et soone that will last a lifeti."
Lu Ran laughed and ran over: "Second aunt, you know best."
Wang Xiaoxin watched their closeness, feeling a bit of a toothache.
Luo Qiao laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, if Ran Ran hasn’t found her desired person before she finishes her graduate studies, I’ll definitely respond positively to your call and arrange a lineup of promising young n for her to et ten a day."
Wang Xiaoxin was also amused: "Alright, alright, you are all good people, and I’m the only bad one. By then, everyone’s kids will be making soy sauce, and she’ll still be on the road to matchmaking, ten a day."
Lu Ran pouted, "Mom, your daughter isn’t that bad-looking. Have so confidence in , okay?"
Wang Xiaoxin placed a piece of food with her chopsticks: "Who am I doing this for? It’s not like back ho, where everyone your age is married. How can I not be anxious?
It’s not the sa as before, where after seeing each other once or twice, you settle things. Now it can take more than half a year to date, and if sothing goes wrong, it’s called off. No one can guarantee that one interaction will lead to success.
Alright then, as long as you have an idea in your mind, don’t think I love ddling in your affairs that much."
Lu Ran laughed and got up to hug Wang Xiaoxin from behind: "See, I knew mom is still the best."
Wang Xiaoxin humd lightly: "Don’t start. You just said your second aunt was the best, and now you’ve changed your tune."
Luo Qiao added a little drink for Wang Xiaoxin: "Your mom is jealous; quickly coax her properly."
Everyone laughed in good spirits, and Wang Xiaoxin lightly patted Luo Qiao’s arm: "Really now, don’t read aloud."
After dinner, once everything was tidied up, the family sat together discussing the year’s work and study situations, as well as next year’s plans and goals, feeling warm and happy.
As the fireworks resounded across the skies, they welcod 1999.
Luo Qiao got up and stood by the window watching the fireworks outside, and Lu Yichen walked over as well, softly saying, "Happy New Year, wife."
Luo Qiao leaned gently into his embrace: "Happy New Year."
This past year had indeed brought many events. The two maintained their embrace without speaking, quietly watching the colorful fireworks outside the window, feeling warm and beautiful.
