Bright sunlight shines in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire bedroom.

The man who had spent the whole night on the sofa was rubbing his stiff neck and sitting on the edge of the bed with a gloomy expression, staring at the woman who was still sleeping.

The cell phone alarm clock on the bedside table rang on time. Li Fei turned over and turned off the phone in confusion.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the man sitting beside her bed, and she was so frightened that she drove all the sleepy people away.

"Fu Lingheng, are you crazy? Why are you sitting here and saying nothing?"

She stared wide-eyed and patted her heart that was about to beat. She was frightened on the first day of the new year. She didn’t know what would happen this year!

"I didn't sleep all night."

The young man who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth never slept on the sofa, turning over and waking up again and again, unable to straighten his legs.

Fu Lingheng lifted the quilt and got in. Just when he was about to reach out to touch her, she avoided him and got up to wash up, without even giving him a corner of her eye: "I'll give you the bed. You can sleep as long as you want now." "

Seeing the frosted glass door being closed, the corners of Fu Lingheng's lips tightened, and a thick black air floated around it.

Not feeling sleepy, he simply went into the cloakroom to change clothes.

The front hall downstairs was very lively. Relatives and friends came to pay New Year greetings one after another. Children wore new clothes and played in the yard, while adults drank tea and chatted in the living room, laughing and laughing.

Hearing this movement, there were estimated to be twenty or thirty people. Li Fei opened the door and stepped out, but instantly retracted his foot.

This was one of the reasons why she was so resistant to returning to her old home. During the holidays, a bunch of elders gathered around her. They first exchanged greetings, and then took her to sit down and drink tea and talk about some topics that she was not very interested in. .

That feeling was simply on pins and needles, very uncomfortable.

After Fu Lingheng changed her clothes and put on her watch, she slowly walked out of the cloakroom. She saw that the people who got up earlier than her were still there to wash and change clothes, which cleared away the gloom in her heart.

"Wait for me to go downstairs together?"

"Who's waiting for you?"

Why hadn't Li Fei noticed before that this man was so narcissistic?

"Why are you still sitting here instead of waiting for me?"

Neatly dressed, with exquisite hair and makeup, and the boots I bought a few days ago, I took them out and looked at them several times. I finally got the chance to wear them. How can I bear not to go downstairs?

"Why do your relatives all choose the first day of the Lunar New Year to come to pay New Year greetings? Can't they come in several waves?"

On this day every year, the Fu family's old house is bustling with people, starting from seven or eight o'clock in the morning to eleven o'clock in the evening.

She has been married for three years, but she still doesn't know who she is.

"Mrs. Fu, is she afraid of society?"

Fu Lingheng played with the sandalwood bracelet that came out of nowhere. After understanding that she was afraid of the seven aunts and eight aunts downstairs, there was a faint smile on her lips.

He held her hand, opened the door and took her downstairs: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that the questions asked by the elders are really too sharp."

She sometimes wondered why the elders of such a famous family as the Fu family would take the opportunity to break the casserole and ask the truth like the uncles and aunts in the countryside.

When the residents' committee came to check their household registration, they felt ashamed.

"Just stay with me, no one dares to ask you."

Fu Lingheng had no idea how much his confident assurance would hit him in the face after he went downstairs.

As soon as Li Fei appeared, the elders who were still drinking tea and chatting in the living room immediately turned their attention to her.

"Hey, happy New Year, granddaughter-in-law!"

The person who greeted me was an old lady who was about the same age as Mr. Fu. She had a kind and kind smile. She should be easy to deal with, right?

Li Fei searched for the name corresponding to this old lady in his mind. The more anxious he was at the critical moment, the more his mind went blank. This face looked familiar. He had been here last year.

Grandma?

Aunt?

"Auntie, are you walking to exercise again today?"

Fu Lingheng stepped forward to say hello to her. She rarely had physical contact with others, but she was holding her aunt's and grandma's hands and exchanging greetings.

Li Fei reacted immediately, followed him, and greeted sweetly: "Auntie, happy New Year."

"We, Ah Heng, are so lucky to have married such a beautiful and well-behaved granddaughter-in-law. Look at the one running after the child behind the yard. Your uncle's family just came in last year. His temperament and appearance are really not as good as that of his granddaughter-in-law."

Li Fei remembered this familiar recipe. When they met during the Chinese New Year last year, her aunt and uncle praised her in the same way.

The old lady took her hand and sat next to her. She was so happy when she saw her that she stuffed a big red envelope to her before she could finish a few words.

How could Li Fei accept the red envelope given by such an old person?

He immediately cast a look of help at Fu Lingheng, signaling him to come quickly and solve the problem.

However, before Fu Lingheng could speak, the old lady refuted it: "This is for my grandson's wife, not for you. Don't get involved. I don't have any red envelopes for you."

"Uncle and grandma, I accept your kindness. I really can't accept this red envelope."

Li Fei knew that Fu Lingheng could not be counted on and could only rely on himself.

"My aunt and uncle only prepared this red envelope when she came. If you continue to refuse, the group of young people outside will come in soon, and my old lady will open the skylight."

The old lady lowered her voice and whispered in Li Fei's ear. The meaning was obvious, I only prefer you, and no one else has any part in it!

Li Fei was about to cry but had no tears. She looked at Mr. Fu who was sitting opposite, and then at Fu Lingheng who was standing beside her and nodded at her.

She could only bite the bullet and accept it.

The old lady patted the pocket of her coat, as if coaxing a three-year-old child, "Just buy whatever candy you want. It's not enough. My aunt and uncle still have some here."

A warm current flowed through Li Fei's heart. She was afraid that apart from what her grandfather had said to her, she was the aunt in front of her who only saw her once a year.

She peeled an orange and handed it to the old lady. There was an age gap between the two of them. Li Fei couldn't understand some of the words, but he listened patiently from sitting down to standing up. .

Because there were so many people, lunch was moved to the backyard lawn, which was like eating on a flowing mat, and it was extremely lively.

Li Fei and Fu Lingheng were sitting surrounded by their elders.

During the dinner, she didn't dare to look around. She kept her head down while eating the food on the plate, for fear that she might accidentally look at an elder and ask if something was available.

"Sweet and sour pork ribs, your favorite."

"Spicy beef mixed with spicy food. If you like it, eat less. It may cause stomachache."

Fu Lingheng kept picking up food for her, but he didn't eat much himself, fearing that she would be stressed. When the atmosphere at the dinner table calmed down a little, he picked up his wine glass and toasted to the elders.

If the topic was about to come to marriage and having children, he would easily change the topic to other places by relying on the words of his business boss.

After a few rounds, Li Fei only needed to fill his stomach quietly, wait for the meal to be over, and get away safely.

"Are you full?"

Fu Lingheng smelled faintly of alcohol and asked as he wiped her hands with a wet tissue.

"Mr. Fu's business ability is amazing!"

It was really the first time that she was under the noses of so many elders of the Fu family, and she could eat in peace without speaking.

"Then let's discuss it. Is it okay not to let me sleep on the sofa at night?"

"no!"

One size fits all, she refused simply, leaving no room for negotiation.
