Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tan Mo still did not know that Yuan Keqing had returned in defeat once again.

She was at home having New Year’s Eve dinner with her parents and brothers.

Because the three siblings came home late.

In the afternoon, Tan Wenci left work early to go home. He and Xu Mingzhen were busy preparing for the New Year symbolically.

Auntie Guo prepared things like making dumplings.

Usually, Auntie Guo was in charge of the cooking and daily cleaning.

During the spring cleaning before the New Year, Xu Mingzhen found a more professional cleaning team to clean every corner of the house, including the drawers in the cabinets and the pulleys under the drawers.

Every corner that you could think of would be cleaned by them.

They even lay on the floor and cleaned every inch.

It was a thorough cleaning.

Especially when Tan Wenci was doing business, Tan Mansion paid more attention to these customs.

“Getting rid of the old and welcoming the new” naturally meant a thorough cleaning.

......

City B did not allow the lighting of firecrackers. It could be done in a very remote place.

But they could not do it here.

It just so happened that every family living in the Tan Mansion’s neighborhood was running their own business.

There were those who owned companies, law firms, accounting firms, and so on.

They all paid special attention to making money.

Since they were not allowed to set off firecrackers, they each had their own ways.

Someone had made electronic firecrackers.

They were made into the shape of firecrackers, and when they pressed the switch, the sound of firecrackers could be heard.

Although it looked quite funny, the meaning was there.

Some people popped balloons instead, and some people used their cell phones to find the animation of setting off firecrackers, adding it to the sound of firecrackers.

However, after seeing the electronic firecrackers, they all felt that it was more genuine.

Therefore, almost every family in the community had an electronic firecracker.

Tan Mansion also had one.

Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen wanted to celebrate, so in the afternoon, they also made a few dumplings for good wishes.

Tan Mo was good at everything and was smart in everything, but in the aspect of cooking, she was really unteachable.

She could not learn it no matter how hard she tried.

Xu Mingzhen looked at Tan Wenci clumsily wrapping the chestnuts into the dumplings and thought to herself that this was probably inherited.

She looked at Tan Wenci’s action of wrapping the dumplings and could not help but think of the way Tan Mo wrapped the dumplings at home last year.

He only picked rice cakes and chestnuts to wrap.

If he wrapped a normal meat filling, it would leak out.

It was exactly the same as Tan Wenci now.

Xu Mingzhen suddenly felt sad. She took a deep breath, but she still could not resist the stifling feeling in her heart.

“What’s wrong?” Tan Wenci noticed that Xu Mingzhen’s mood was not right, so he quickly asked.

Xu Mingzhen sighed and said: “I just remembered that last year, Momo was still at home making dumplings with us. This year, because she has a class today, she couldn’t come back. Next year...”

Xu Mingzhen could not hide her seriousness and said: “I don’t know if Momo will have the chance to spend New Year’s Eve at home next year.”

“Why not?” Tan Wenci panicked. He understood what Xu Mingzhen meant, but he would never agree.

Xu Mingzhen sighed again, “Just look at Zhiqian’s pace. He got engaged to Momo not long after they started dating. Now, he didn’t get married because Momo is young.”

“Momo will be 20 this year. I have a feeling that he won’t wait too long.” Xu Mingzhen said, “Even if he can endure through this year, I have a feeling that he won’t be able to endure it next year and will think of ways to marry her.”

“He has no intentions previously because Momo is still too young. Now, she will be 20 years old after the New Year. Although she’s still young, she’s not exactly that young.” Xu Mingzhen felt depressed when she thought about it.

When she gave birth to Tan Mo, she would never have thought that her daughter would fall in love and get engaged so early in the future, or even get married.

“How dare he!” Tan Wenci could not take it anymore, “He can’t go this far!”

Xu Mingzhen looked at Tan Wenci, who looked strong on the outside. She mercilessly broke Tan Wenci’s beautiful hope, “We should all be happy that he hasn’t made any move this year.”

“Fortunately, it’s troublesome to book a hotel and we have to book it a long time in advance. So even if they get married and have a wedding, they have to discuss it with us at least half a year in advance.” Xu Mingzhen said, “Moreover, we still have to pick a date. If he doesn’t mention it now, we definitely won’t have time to have a wedding this year.”

“But if we avoid this year, I always feel that we can’t avoid it next year.” Xu Mingzhen looked at Tan Wenci with a complicated expression.

Tan Wenci: “...”

“If we really can’t... why don’t we escape next year to hide?” Tan Wenci said.

Xu Mingzhen was stunned, “To where?”

“We can go anywhere. It’s probably quite easy to find us in the country. Besides, we can come back as long as we want to come back. It’s very difficult to successfully hide.” Tan Wenci placed the dumplings that had just been wrapped properly and dusted off the flour on his hands, “Then we’ll escape abroad. No matter where we go, we’ll go further away. It’s best if we don’t come back for a while.”

“And there needs to be a time difference. Daytime here and nighttime there. In this way, even if he wants to find us, we can use the time difference as an excuse and even reply a few days later. After all this, won’t we drag the time?”

Xu Mingzhen: “...”

In order to make Tan Mo get married later, Tan Wenci really went all out.

“You don’t care about the company anymore?” Xu Mingzhen reminded.

Tan Wenci paused and scratched his head in annoyance, “This is the disadvantage of no one inheriting the company. I want to scold those three brats again.”

If one of the three of them could inherit the company.

He could easily abandon the company and leave, bringing Xu Mingzhen everywhere to enjoy.

Unlike now, he still had to wait for Tan Mo to get married and leave the company to Wei Zhiqian.

Thinking of this, wanting Tan Mo to get married later and wanting to retire earlier was actually such a contradiction. He could not have it both ways.

Xu Mingzhen had already sorted out her mood and said with a smile: “I was depressed for a moment. Actually, thinking about it, if Momo really got married early, other than being young, everything else would be good for her.”

“Although it’s not appropriate for a woman to give birth early, it’s also not appropriate to do so late. The younger she is, the faster she recovers and the less dangerous it will be.” Xu Mingzhen said, “Moreover, even if Momo got married, it’s not like she won’t come back.”

“Moreover, even if she didn’t get married now, she’s not always home like before. The frequency of her coming back once a week is likely to be maintained after marriage.” Xu Mingzhen said as if she was trying to convince herself, “So I thought, even if she’s married early, it’s nothing.”

“As long as Zhiqian treats her well, that’s enough.” Xu Mingzhen said.

Tan Wenci’s eyes slowly turned red, “But it’s still different.”

“Even if Momo is living with Zhiqian now, she’s still our daughter now that she’s not married. She’s just our daughter with no other status. At most, she’s just Wei Zhiqian’s fiancée. Before that, she’s our daughter. Her home will always be here.”
