Hearing this, Wan Chu’er snorted with laughter, pushed the door open, and walked in, saying aloud, "Brother Lishan, talking behind someone’s back isn’t what a gentleman would do."
Lishan, calm and collected, responded, "I said it to your face."
Wan Chu’er scoffed and went straight to the steamy dinner table, which, besides dumplings, had three other dishes. She praised with a smile:
"Our New Year’s Eve dinner is really sumptuous."
Others had a full table of dishes for New Year’s Eve dinner, but their few dishes seemed quite sparse in comparison. However, taking into account that Lishan managed to prepare these, it was already quite impressive.
She took a seat right next to Old Sir Zhong without any reservations.
Old Sir Zhong picked up a cup of alcohol in front of him and said, "This is our first time celebrating the New Year together, let’s have a drink."
Lishan poured Wan Chu’er a glass of juice, while he himself picked up a cup of alcohol.
Wan Chu’er was not satisfied and switched to a cup of alcohol, "What’s the fun in drinking juice."
Old Sir Zhong glared at her, but that only earned him giggles from Wan Chu’er. The three of them laughed as they clinked their cups and drank up.
Wan Chu’er instantly felt a warm flow from her throat all the way down to her belly, burning hot. She quickly grabbed a dumpling to eat.
