While Lu Qiyuan changed his clothes, Xia Qingyang’s gaze didn’t move a single bit away from him.

Instantly, Lu Qiyuan’s mood lifted up even more.

However, it was just that when he was taking care of Xia Qingyang, somehow Xia Qingwei’s delighted face under the fireworks appeared in his mind for no reason, and he got distracted temporarily.

Meanwhile, Xia Qingwei and Lu Man were unaware of Xia Qingyang almost stirring up more trouble for them.

Xia Qingwei did not even know that her ex-husband, Lu Qiyuan, had started to think about her again.

After the two of them finished setting off the fireworks, they went back home to continue watching the Spring Festival Gala on television.

When the clock struck 12, Lu Man went to cook the dumplings and ate it with Xia Qingwei. Then they stayed up late on New Year’s eve.

Although there was the tradition of staying up awake on New Year’s eve, not many people followed it anymore.

Even though Lu Man and Xia Qingwei were not traditional, orthodox people, this year Lu Man was celebrating the New Year’s Eve for the first time with Xia Qingwei after her divorce with Lu Qiyuan, hence it was a very precious, joyful occasion for them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two of them hadn’t agreed on it earlier, they just happened to follow it as if they had already decided it.

Finally, at 2 o’clock, they had exhausted their stamina and couldn’t stay up anymore. Even the dumplings in their stomach were mostly digested.

Coming to an agreement, Lu Man and Xia Qingwei smiled at each other and said goodnight before going to their own rooms to sleep.

Lu Man huddled under the warm blanket, feeling delighted.

This was the first time in many years that she slept with a smile on New Year’s Eve.

As expected, on the first day of the New Year, Han Zhuoli came to pay Xia Qingwei New Year’s greeting early in the morning.

Xia Qingwei had slept very little and had woken up very early, while Lu Man was still sleeping.

It was a rare holiday, and Xia Qingwei had originally wanted Lu Man to rest more, so she let Lu Man sleep until she woke up by herself, not planning to wake her up at all.

When Han Zhuoli came, Xia Qingwei said, “Lu Man is not awake yet, please wait, I’ll go call her first.”

“No need.” Han Zhuoli hurriedly stopped her. “Let her sleep, it’s just that I came early.”

“It’s already past ten, it’s not early anymore,” Xia Qingwei smiled and said, “You can go and sit, I was just planning to boil water to make tea, there are some fruits and snacks on the coffee table, there’s no need to be shy.”

As expected, Han Zhuoli was not shy at all. “Mom, then I’ll go directly to Lu Man’s room.”

Xia Qingwei: “...”

Haha, really not shy at all.

With a serious face, Han Zhuoli said, “I won’t do anything else, I’m just going to see her, I’ll be happy with just watching her sleep peacefully from the side.”

Xia Qingwei: “...”

It’s the broad daylight, what did you want to do?

Xia Qingwei had already decided to let them take their relationship further, and since Han Zhuoli had already stayed over in their house for two nights and Lu Man did not do anything past the normal conventions with Han Zhuoli, Xia Qingwei was still quite reassured about this.

Although not very eager and a little bit unhappy, she could only wave her hand. “Go, go. I’m in the house, how would you dare to do anything else.”

Han Zhuoli, “...”

Where did the liberal mother-in-law go?

Hence, Han Zhuoli entered Lu Man’s room in front of Xia Qingwei.

Normally, Lu Man would always sleep soundly. Right now, she was lying on her side and curled up in the shape of a shrimp, with her blanket pulled up till her jaw, covering her delicate jaw, and only exposed her red lips and her sharp nose.

With her eyes closed, her long and curly eyelashes covered her eyelids delicately.

Usually, when her eyes were open wide, her eyes, one could clearly see the misty black orbs of her big eyes and whenever she blinked her eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly.

At this moment, she looked serene and beautiful.

Han Zhuoli felt that he could just stare at her the whole day, getting immersed in her eternal beauty.

Hence, he decided to just take a seat, his hand supporting his jaw as he really kept looking looked at Lu Man sleep peacefully.

Even after a long time, Han Zhuoli did not feel tired at all.
