At this moment, red lanterns were already hung outside and inside the Tong Family’s house, adding a festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Right now, Yunqing was in the kitchen, and the light of the red lanterns outside filtered through the window, adding a touch of celebration to the kitchen.

Yunqing was chopping vegetables when he suddenly heard the kitchen door open. He turned his head and saw Tong Xi in front of him.

Instantly, Yunqing smiled, his eyes sparkling, full of brilliance.

"Wifey, you’re here!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Tong Xi glanced at him, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

"Mm-hmm, I’m here to inspect and see if you’re slacking off!"

Yunqing chuckled gently, "So, what’s the verdict?"

"Barely passed," Tong Xi said, reaching for a piece of tomato Yunqing had sliced and popping it into her mouth.

"I say, are you planning to make sugar-coated tomatoes?"

Tong Xi spoke, winking at Yunqing, her eyes filled with mischief.

Yunqing squinted, his handsome face full of disdain.

"Wifey, you’re underestimating your husband! This is for tomato and beef brisket stew!"

Tong Xi laughed.

Hmm, it seems Yunqing really knows how to cook now!

She honestly hadn’t expected Yunqing to learn cooking so quickly, but all of this was because of her... Thinking of this, Tong Xi felt proud and accomplished.

This man, for her... turned from a young master who never lifted a finger in the kitchen to a decent cook.

Of course, for now, Tong Xi could only label him as "looks good," since she hadn’t tasted his cooking yet. It’s too soon to conclude!

But his knife skills and techniques looked quite proficient already.

Tsk tsk...

"Need a hand here?"

Tong Xi said.

Actually, she came to help, although Yunqing said he’d handle the New Year’s Eve dinner, after all, they’re not married yet. Their family can’t just bully him openly!

But having Yunqing in the kitchen, what does it imply?

He wasn’t treated as an outsider!

However, on this New Year’s Eve, Tong Xi’s heart was a mix of emotions, but mostly, happiness.

She really never thought there would be a man, on New Year’s Eve, at her home, in the kitchen... washing hands and cooking soup for her.

Yunqing wore a floral apron, patterned with a big gray wolf, of course, it was the werewolf.

Seeing Yunqing, radiant and charming, wearing a werewolf apron, the scene was indeed amusing.

Yet Yunqing wore it without a second thought and even complimented it.

"Mm, not bad, not bad, I like the werewolf!"

Back then, Tong Xi glared at him, this guy was smug.

Now, only the two of them were in the kitchen, Yunqing leaned in closer, "Wifey, I bet you have a red werewolf apron for yourself, right? Put it on, it’d make us look like a pair, wouldn’t it?"

Tong Xi: "..."

This guy, he had already guessed!

He’s so sneaky!

Seeing Tong Xi silent, Yunqing knew he was right.

"Wifey, hurry up, now there’s only the werewolf, he must be lonely!"

Tong Xi: "Don’t you think there’s something wrong with what you just said? It’s said to be a werewolf, how could it be one person? Are you a wolf or a human?"

Tong Xi spoke with slightly raised brows and pouted lips, poking his chest as she talked—her tone was faint, yet playful, making Yunqing’s heart race.

He reached out, pinning Tong Xi to the wall, his gaze burning.

"Well, right now, I most want to transform into... a werewolf!"
