She listened to him attentively.

Auntie Bao took a deep breath. “Well, when I was young, I didn’t understand the importance of marriage. I always thought being alone was the best. For decades afterward, I wandered around without realizing I had no roots or attachnts. It wasn’t until I ca to the Lin family that I realized happiness cos from having soone to care for.”

“Will you only be able to co back after the holidays? Take lots of pictures and show . ”

“Sure,” said Auntie Bao. “After I return, I’ll co and visit your mother. You should take a lot of pictures too!”

After ending the call, Auntie Bao went to her neighbor’s house.

Although Lin Wan had already found soone to help take care of the vegetables and poultry, Auntie Bao was still worried. She asked her neighbor to co by and check on things when they had ti.

To express her gratitude, Auntie Bao took over so stead buns she had prepared that morning.

Auntie Wu declined politely. “Auntie Bao, we’ve known each other for so many years. You don’t have to bribe with gifts to watch your ho.”

“Thank you. I’m leaving in two days. I simply made too many stead buns this morning. Please accept it. I didn’t want to waste them.”

Only then did Auntie Wu accept the stead buns. “Alright, if you’re not busy, sit for a while and talk with .”

Auntie Wu brought over a stool for her.

Auntie Bao sat down and helped Auntie Wu peel a corn kernel.

For New Year’s Eve, Li Yanchen distributed year-end bonuses. In the celebratory atmosphere of Chenxin, despite the unfavorable business environnt, the company’s performance had improved. From managent to frontline staff, everyone received higher bonuses than the previous year.

Li Yanchen didn’t say much and thanked them for their hard work. To show appreciation for everyone’s efforts, he added five more days to the Lunar New Year break.

“We hope that employees can spend more ti with their families. Work is just a part of life,” said Secretary Han.

Everyone wished they could sign a lifelong contract with the company on the spot.

Li Yanchen looked at everyone’s delighted faces and couldn’t help but smile.

At Royal Water Bay, Mrs. Zhou’s matter had co to an end. Zhou Zhi’s proposed divorce agreent was rejected by Xue i. Zhou Zhi complained that their relationship had broken down a long ti ago. He was going to take the matter to court if Xue i wouldn’t agree to a divorce on his terms.

The usually timid Xue i suddenly beca resolute. She added a condition to the agreent: unless she was given a villa at Royal Water Bay along with five million yuan, she wouldn’t sign anything. She had put as much effort into taking care of him and his household as he had done in his job, after all. Moreover, she told him that she had handed all the evidence over to her lawyer, so she wasn’t afraid to go to court.

Zhou Zhi tried to use force, but Xue i didn’t back down. Although Zhou Zhi gained the upper hand after one confrontation, he ended up with a scratched face. When he tried to negotiate with Xue i again, he didn’t dare use force.

Xue i insisted that as long as they weren’t divorced, she was still Mrs. Zhou. No vixen was allowed to enter this household. If anyone dared, she would call the police. Zhou Zhi had no choice but to move out.

However, Lin Wan was still worried that things might change. She asked the housekeeper to keep an eye on Xue i. If anything happened, she told her to call her or Mrs. Han.

Li Zexin went to the Sweetheart Inn early in the morning. Xiao Yi had volunteered at school for a couple of days during the break, so he returned a few days later. They had agreed to et at the bakery.

Xiao Yi took Xia Mot s car early in the morning. If it weren’t for Li Zexin, he wouldn’t have visited the store. He had planned to have Li Zexin co to his place, but when he heard that Li Zexin couldn’t travel far, he decided to et him at his mother’s bakery.

After coming back from Lan Village, Li Zexin hadn’t seen Xiao Yi. Middle school students couldn’t bring their phones, so he sent Xiao Yi a text ssage only after the holidays started.

He had planned to take Lin Wan’s car, but she had sothing to do in the morning and could only co over in the afternoon. Unable to wait, Li Zexin decided to go to the bakery himself with his laptop.

To prepare for the Spring Festival, Xia MO bought many decorations in bright red colors. Since her son was coming over, she had him help with the decorations.

Xiao Yi hadn’t planned on it, but it helped pass the ti.

At nine o’clock in the morning, the employees started coming in one after another. Seeing Xiao Yi in the store, they greeted him eagerly.

Gas knew no age or gender. Everyone loved playing video gas, and they knew about Xiao Yi.

Xia MO was happy to see that her son was so popular. She allowed the staff to gather around and talk to him.

After a while, Li Zexin finally arrived. He was carrying his breakfast. When he left ho, it was still before eight in the morning. He had bought breakfast on the way, changed buses, and finally arrived at the Sweetheart Inn an hour later.

“Xinxin.” Everyone warmly welcod him.

“Uh! Hi!” he said shyly.

A few young won approached him.

“Uhh… Can I give this breakfast to Xiao Yi first? It might get cold.” “Wow, Xinxin is so considerate! You even brought breakfast.”

“The most admirable guest on the show was Xinxin. He’s very considerate of others. He is very gentle.”

Li Zexin couldn’t stand listening to this anymore. Why did the praise feel like sothing regurgitated?

He narrowed his eyes. “Thank you, everyone. Can I leave now?”

Everyone quickly cleared the way.

“Let’s go to the office,” Xiao Yi said.

After the two boys left the front hall, Xia MO cleared her throat. “It’s ti to work. ”

“Yes, Sister Xia!”

In the Sweetheart Inn break room, Li Zexin opened the lunchbox. The breakfast items were neatly arranged: there were buns, fried dough sticks, sesa pancakes…

There were various types of beverages and even so porridge.

When he was at Lan Village, Li Zexin had asked about Xiao Yi’s preference for food. These were all his favorites.

However, buying everything was a bit excessive.

Xiao Yi looked at the food. “Li Zexin, do you think I have the stomach of a cow?”

“What? I bought it for everyone. Even for Auntie Xia… I didn’t know what you would like the most, so I bought the things you liked. You can pick what you want, and we can share the rest with others.”

Xiao Yi took a bowl of vegetable porridge. “This one.”

“Okay, you go ahead and eat. I’ll distribute the rest.” Li Zexin happily carried the remaining breakfast to the front hall.

The young ladies who had finished their breakfast didn’t say anything when they saw him. Fortunately, Li Zexin brought plenty of food. Even after everyone took their share, there were two buns left.

After finishing her breakfast, Xia MO asked Li Zexin to take her portion to the back office.

Xiao Yi was devouring his food. “Wind God, did you deliberately skip breakfast because you knew I would bring you food?”

Xiao Yi almost choked on the porridge. He coughed a few tis. “How could I have known that? I already had breakfast. My mom made pan-fried buns this morning. Didn’t she tell you that she had breakfast too? I just felt bad not to eat because you bought so much.”

Li Zexin widened his eyes in disbelief.. “Are you pretending right now?”
