Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the kitchen, Auntie Yang was making stewed chicken with Chinese yam. Meng Nianyao knew how to cook, so she went in. She saw Auntie Yang blanching the chicken, so she went to prepare the Chinese yam.

“Hey, no need, no need. Put it down, I’ll handle it. “The Chinese yam ill make your hands itch if you touch them,” Auntie Yang quickly stopped her.

Meng Nianyao moved with a sense of purpose. “No, Auntie Yang. I’m wearing gloves.”

Seeing this, Auntie Yang no longer insisted on her not helping.

It was already six o’clock by the time the two of them finished preparing dinner. The atmosphere in the living room was much better by then. The food was ready, and Meng Nianyao wasn’t in a hurry to go out, either.

Auntie Yang tidied up the stove and walked over to Meng Nianyao. “Alright, we’re done. Let’s go out.”

Meng Nianyao glanced outside and smiled. “Aunty Yang, do Grandpa and Grandma rarely interact with Uncle and Auntie?” she asked.

“Indeed, it’s a rare occurrence.” Aunt Yang sighed. “The Young Master entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduating from university. After that, he spent less and less time at home. After Wencheng was born, the Young Master’s career was on the rise. From then on, he spent even less time with his family.”

Meng Nianyao grabbed a glass of water and looked at Auntie Yang.

Auntie Yang sighed.” I still remember when Wencheng was two years old. Young Master and Madam had to go abroad for an emergency. That was the longest period of time they stayed at home. Wencheng had just developed feelings for them and was very attached to them. When they wanted to leave, Wencheng cried his heart out. Because he cried so hard, he started to have a fever half an hour after they left. At that time, the Young Master and Madam hadn’t arrived at the airport yet. Old Madam felt sorry for the children, so she called them to come back. They didn’t come back, so the Old Madam kept calling them, but in the end, the Young Master and Madam turned off their phones.” Auntie Yang shook her head. “That was the first time they had a conflict because of the child. From then on, the old madam stopped trying to foster a relationship between Wencheng and them. Slowly, Wencheng grew older and older, and his relationship with his parents became more and more distant. Sometimes, the Old Madam would blame herself and think that Wencheng’s relationship with his parents was bad because of her.”

Meng Nianyao frowned when she heard that. Auntie Yang held her hand.” Nianyao, after you came to the Gu family, the Old Madam and Wencheng’s attitudes have improved a lot, especially Wencheng. Although he’s still the same in front of us, I can tell that he’s been really happy recently.”

“I understand, Auntie Yang.” Meng Nianyao smiled.

After that, the sound of an engine came from outside the courtyard. Gu Wencheng had returned. Meng Nianyao took a look outside and was actually a little worried. Every time everyone gathered together, they would be unhappy.

Auntie Yang was also worried. “Why don’t you go take a look first?” she asked Meng Nianyao.

Meng Nianyao nodded.

“Nianyao, come here,” Grandma Gu waved at her as she walked out of the dining room.

Meng Nianyao stopped in her tracks. “Gu Wencheng seems to be back. “I’ll go take a look.”

“Go ahead.” Grandma Gu felt that the two of them had a good relationship, and her voice was filled with laughter. Meng Nianyao smiled, put on her coat, and left.

Gu Wencheng had just come out of the garage when he saw Meng Nianyao smiling.

“Let’s go to the greenhouse.” Meng Nianyao walked over and held Gu Wencheng’s hand.

“Why are we going to the greenhouse?” Gu Wencheng raised his eyebrows. They had been married for a long time, but Meng Nianyao had never been so proactive.

“Picking flowers.” Meng Nianyao thought up a random excuse and brought him to the greenhouse. Gu Wencheng was dragged away by her. When they reached the courtyard, he saw the car parked inside, and his face darkened. “They’re here?”

Meng Nianyao nodded. Gu Wencheng frowned, clearly in a bad mood.

Meng Nianyao looked at the living room and gave up on talking in the greenhouse. She said bluntly, “Mr. Gu, control your emotions. It’s almost the new year. You don’t want everyone in the family to have an unhappy new year, do you?”

Gu Wencheng didn’t say anything, his brows still tightly knitted. Meng Nianyao sighed and smoothed out the creases between his brows. “I know you have a deep knot in your heart. But for the sake of Grandpa and Grandma, can you try not to resist Uncle and Auntie so much?”

Gu Wencheng looked down at Meng Nianyao. Meng Nianyao pulled his arm and acted coquettishly.

Gu Wencheng’s mood suddenly improved a little and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

Meng Nianyao relaxed a little when she saw his smile.” Alright, it’s a deal then. Let’s go back and eat.” After saying that, Meng Nianyao saw a plum blossom in the corner of the courtyard and pulled Gu Wencheng over so he could pick some for her..
