Yun Xi looked down at the thick red envelope in her hand and chuckled, “Last year, you gave me your first pot of gold. What about this year?”

Mu Feichi smiled. “This year, it’s cash.”

He had roughly guessed the red envelopes that his future father-in-law and Old Master Xiao would give her this year, so no matter what ingenious idea he came up with, it could never be more meaningful than the red envelopes they gave.

Therefore, the red envelope he gave her this year was equivalent to her age—the integer of 18—which from here on out would increase every year according to her age.

“Does that mean you’re giving me a cheque next year?”

Mu Feichi nodded with a smirk on his face and pinched her pinkish cheeks. “That can be done, but my position doesn’t permit me to write you a cheque, so I’ll have Baifan do it. As the vice president of the company, he can exercise this power on my behalf.”

“No way! That makes me sound so snobbish!”

“How is that snobbish? You’re his future boss. You should relish in your authority.”

“Mu Three-Years-Old, aren’t you awfully keen to sell me this position? Do you want to be my father’s live-in son-in-law that badly?”

“You are his only daughter, after all. If your father needs me to, I don’t mind being a live-in son-in-law. However, as the head of the Mu family, the Mus must have an heir. And if that’s the case, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to give birth to an extra child. One shall inherit the surname Mu, while the other, Xiao.”

“In your dreams!” The topic escalated so quickly that she couldn’t keep up. Blushing furiously, she pushed away his handsome teasing face. Then with a soft snort, she narrowed her eyes, clasped the front of his chiseled jaw with her fingers, and asked in a domineering tone, “You going to wake up or keep sleeping? Your choice!”

“If you’re not going to keep me company, I won’t be able to fall back asleep anyway.”

“Bullsh*t! You fell asleep just fine without anyone accompanying you in the morning! And besides…” She instantly jerked her hand away and tapped his forehead, reminding him with a smile on her face. “Mind you, Mu Three-Years-Old, you’ve been weaned off your mother’s milk long ago!”

“…” Mu Feichi smiled, then got up obediently, went to wash up, and headed downstairs for lunch.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding. On the first day of the New Year, no one mentioned what happened last night. They all chimed in and talked about their family affairs and summed up their previous year. There was no gunpowder in the air, no cruel competition, and no scheming and plotting against one another. The atmosphere was lively and harmonious, like a gathering among good friends.

The busy reception of guests finally ended on the first day of the Lunar New Year. On the second day, Yun Xi promised Xiao Jinglin she would go to the new house and wait with him for Mr. and Mrs. Si to return home for dinner. So she made up an excuse, saying she would visit her Uncle’s house in Liang Xiuqin’s stead.

Yun Chuhan had wanted to tag along, but she was frightened by Yun Xi’s terrifying words—”I may be going by the prison to visit our mother first”—and immediately backed off.

Early in the morning, Mu Feichi’s car stopped at the sentry post. Yun Xi got in the car and glanced at the stuff on the back seat, and was a little taken aback by the sight.

“What’s with all the New Year gifts?”

Then, it suddenly dawned on Yun Xi, and she tugged at Mu Feichi with a nervous look on her face. “Mu Three-Years-Old, I haven’t married you yet. I’m not customarily going back to my side of the family on the second day of the New Year! Don’t get too excited just yet!”

Mu Feichi had not even thought about this, since he was actually going to visit his grandfather today. But after Yun Xi reminded him that the two of them were going back to Xiao Jinglin’s villa today, it really did seem like he was carrying out the tradition of a son-in-law bringing the daughter back to her parents’ house!

The man turned his head and teased her with a serious expression, “It’s only a matter of time, baby. Can’t you let me do a little early practice?”

“I’m afraid you might get your legs broken by my father!”

“Well, I’m not. I’ll still have you, won’t I? I’m sure your father certainly won’t have the heart to hit me if I hold onto you and stage a heart-wrenching drama.”

“How can you be so shameless? If you’re planning on going by this awful script, then you can forget about being a live-in son-in-law! My father will definitely betroth me to someone else right away. Don’t you even dare, Mu Three-Years-Old!”

“Okay, I’ll do whatever you say! However, after we go to the Xiaos today, will you accompany me to my grandfather’s house in the afternoon? The old man would love to see you.”
