In the blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve again.
As in previous years, everyone gathered at Mo Xiuchen’s house on New Year’s Eve.
This year was different because Qin Mu and An Lin, Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng had both moved to the suburbs, and are now very close to Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai’s hos.
Only Wen Jin and Jing Xiaocha lived a bit further away.
In the luxuriously decorated yet cozy living room, Wen Ran, the hostess, was chatting with Bai Xiaoxiao and the others.
The n were upstairs playing with the kids.
Bai Xiaoxiao teased Jing Xiaocha, "Xiaocha, when are you and your Brother Wen going to invite us to your wedding banquet?"
Bai Yiyi also laughed lightly in agreent, "Yes, Xiaocha, aren’t you living at Ah Jin’s house now? Tell us secretly how far your relationship has developed."
While nibbling on sunflower seeds, An Lin reminded them, "Yiyi, Xiaoxiao, you are bullying Xiaocha while Ah Jin’s not here. He’ll settle scores with you when he cos down."
Just as Bai Yiyi and Bai Xiaoxiao simultaneously pouted at An Lin, she suddenly turned to Jing Xiaocha and said mysteriously, "Xiaocha, don’t tell these gossiping won, secretly tell alone, have you and Ah Jin done ’that’?"
"Pfft—"
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Bai Yiyi looked at An Lin disdainfully, "I thought you were more upright, but turns out you’re that kind of An Lin."
Jing Xiaocha’s cheeks were flushed from their teasing, and with her thin skin, she was no match for these married won.
In the end, it was Wen Ran who stopped them, "Stop bullying Xiaocha, all of you being so dirty, go ho tonight and find your husbands."
Wen Ran knew better than anyone how far Jing Xiaocha and Wen Jin had developed.
Since Wen Ran was particularly concerned about Wen Jin and Jing Xiaocha’s progress, during those days when Jing Xiaocha stayed at Wen Jin’s house without going out, Wen Ran often visited her.
Once, sharp-eyed, she noticed a faint hickey on Jing Xiaocha’s neck and learned that Jing Xiaocha and her brother had already shared an intimate relationship.
But Xiaocha was thin-skinned, and Wen Ran couldn’t let her be bullied by these gossiping won.
"Hmph, Ranran, don’t you want to know?"
Bai Xiaoxiao asked nonchalantly, thinking that Ranran wanted to know even more than they did.
An Lin also nodded, squinting at Wen Ran thoughtfully, "Ranran, aren’t you the one who always cares about Ah Jin’s happiness? Why aren’t you letting us ask Xiaocha now... Seems like there’s sothing unusual going on."
Towards the end, An Lin supported her chin with her hand, pretending to have seen through Wen Ran.
Wen Ran let her scrutinize her without being fazed, eting her probing gaze with calmness, "I do hope my brother and Xiaocha are happy, but I’m not as gossipy as you guys."
"Ranran, do you know sothing, or is Xiaocha being unfair, only telling you secretly?"
"Hmm, that might be possible."
"Xiaocha blushed, she and Wen Jin must have done ’that’."
Jing Xiaocha couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up, saying, "I’m going upstairs to check on the kids." Then she fled.
"Ranran, be honest."
"Ranran, don’t hide the truth."
"Confession leads to leniency, resistance leads to strictness."
When Jing Xiaocha left, everyone unanimously targeted Wen Ran.
Wen Ran looked at the stairwell where Jing Xiaocha’s figure disappeared, teasing them, "I only know that my brother and Xiaocha will definitely get married within next year."
Her answer was t with disdainful looks from the other three won.
"Talking without saying anything."
An Lin pouted discontentedly.
Bai Yiyi laughed, "An Lin, if Ranran insists on not saying, then tonight you’ll take Qingqing ho, not letting her stay at Ranran’s house."
"That’s a good idea." Bai Xiaoxiao gave Bai Yiyi a thumbs up.
Wen Ran’s mouth twitched slightly but she was not threatened, "Taking Qingqing away has nothing to do with , if Ziyi doesn’t want to, he’ll go get her back himself."
"Why does it have nothing to do with you? If I take Qingqing away, then Ziyi will fight with Xiu Chen over his wife, if Xiu Chen learns the reason, he’ll surely tell us."
An Lin also thought this thod was feasible.
"Truly the most wicked are the won’s hearts."
Wen Ran glared at them, then recited dismissively, "Too bad I’m unaffected by wealth, unmoved by poverty, undeterred by force..."
An Lin, Bai Yiyi, and Bai Xiaoxiao exchanged glances, then simultaneously lunged at Wen Ran, several hands tickling her together.
"Ah..."
The living room was filled with laughter for a while.
On the third floor, Mo Xiuchen, Qin Mu, Luo Haofeng, Gu Kai, and Wen Jin chatted while occasionally glancing at the kids playing inside the room.
They basically didn’t need to worry.
Gu Kai suggested, "Ah Jin, why don’t you also move to the suburbs? Then we’d all live close together."
Luo Haofeng imdiately agreed, "Ah Kai’s suggestion is good, Ah Jin, move over so we can all be lively every day."
"Are there any empty villas nearby?"
Qin Mu asked them, then looked at Mo Xiuchen for confirmation.
Mo Xiuchen shook his head, "I’m not sure, but we can find out, as long as Ah Jin is willing to move to the suburbs."
"What’s there to ask, I’ll let you live in one,"
Gu Kai said without hesitation.
He had two villas in the suburbs.
Previously, Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother lived in one, but now Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother insisted on returning to the countryside, leaving that house empty.
If Wen Jin was willing, he could move in anyti.
After so thought, Wen Jin shook his head, "You all live here, so I’ll not join in the crowd. A new environnt requires adapting, and I find where I live now quite good."
It was his ho for over twenty years; he didn’t want to leave.
That place held too many beautiful mories.
"Since Ah Jin doesn’t want to be disturbed by you guys, let’s drop it. After all, he and Jing Xiaocha are in the heat of romance, if he moved to the suburbs, Ah Kai would surely knock on his door late at night..."
Before Mo Xiuchen finished, Gu Kai protested, "Xiu Chen, what do you an? I live so close to you, have I knocked on your door in the dead of night every day?"
"You’ve knocked on Ah Mu’s door, and disturbed Ah Feng at night, these are your records."
Mo Xiuchen raised an eyebrow, giving a ’can you deny it’ look.
Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng felt deeply, "Ah Kai, Xiu Chen’s point isn’t unjust, we can attest."
Gu Kai glared angrily, "I had reasons; who knocks on your doors for no reason!"
Qin Mu laughed, "Evidence shows you knock on doors at night even without reason, if Ah Jin moved here, he’d be your most disturbed neighbor, Ah Jin, good choice not moving."
"You’re too much, Ah Jin, don’t listen to them, you and Xiaocha should just move here, I definitely won’t disturb you at night."
