Chapter 1441. Another Year has Passed 2
The Lunar New Year was just around the corner, and it was time for all the people who were working in the cities and far away from their hometowns to travel back home. It was early in the morning of the Lunar New Year Eve, and the whole city was almost empty, so it was a lot more spacious compared to a normal day.
In Maple Residence, after grabbing their breakfast, the husband and wife, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye went to the cemetery to offer their prayers to their grandma, Wang Hui. After the worshipping session, they departed to the Shen residence and planned to have their lunch there before heading back to the Mu’s.
Shen Wenna had been preparing the ingredients since early morning while Xi Mushan was also there lending a hand. Meanwhile, Shen Yue was in a good mood and was writing couplets with his great-grandson, Mu Zirui, just beside him, practicing his calligraphy with a tiny brush.
When the couple carried Xiao Cheng back to the Shen residence, Shen Yue had already finished writing a few couplets. Upon seeing Mu Yuchen arriving, he passed his brush to him and asked him to showcase some of his skills.
Not wanting to ruin the aesthetic atmosphere, Xi Xiaye left Xiao Cheng who was fast asleep on the sofa just beside the two men. She covered him with a blanket and ordered the duo to keep an eye on him, and she went straight into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan were preparing the fish. He was plating up while she was making the seasoning. All their actions showed that they were operating with tacit understanding.
Xi Xiaye wanted to walk straight in, but after a moment of dilemma, she decided to abort her plan.
“What happened?” As she took a few steps backward, Mu Yuchen just arrived in the kitchen for a glass of warm water.
“Nah, it’s nothing. Let’s just leave them to their chores,” Xi Xiaye chimed.
