In the control room, the Festival Group admired the results of the task of each family.

At eleven in the morning, the director and several staff members left the office.

The six families had already started pasting window flowers and couplets.

In Royal Water Bay Villa, Auntie Huang dialed Lin Wan’s number.

“Auntie Huang, how are you?”

“Wanwan, are you coming back today at the usual time? I’ve washed and cut the vegetables. I’ll cook when you’re about to reach.” Auntie Huang waited in the courtyard.

“Auntie Huang, we haven’t left yet. We might not make it in time for lunch. Let’s eat dinner together. You can have your lunch.” Lin Wan stood on a stool and held the window flowers in both hands.

“Alright, be safe on your way.”

Li Yanchen stood beside the table. He objected to Lin Wan climbing up the stool, but she insisted on helping with pasting the things since she couldn’t really do any calligraphy.

When the assistant director passed the Li family’s house, he saw Lin Wan standing on a stool. “Aren’t you going to lend a hand?”

“No! Mr. Li is in charge of making sure I paste them straight,” said Lin Wan. The assistant director smiled. “A perfect match. You all are working together.

Your family has passed.”

“I’ll go to the next house.” The assistant director was satisfied and turned around to leave. Just as he was about to walk away, he turned to Li Yanchen and whispered, “Wipe the lipstick off your face…”

Li Yanchen was speechless.

He found a basin of water and washed his face. He forgot that Lin Wan had put on lipstick today. Moreover, his face had been facing the camera all this time.

After wiping off the lipstick, Li Yanchen glanced at the comments.

[Mr. Li finally figured it out. Mr. Li, why did you wipe it off? That’s a mark of love!]

[What color do you think she used? Dior 999?]

[No. Mr. Li’s skin tone is yellowish, so the lipstick color would look different. It must be Givenchy N37.]

[Today’s comments are so serious. It’s all about investigating the lipstick shade. Is anyone paying attention to the kiss between Mr. Li and Lin Wan?]

[I wanted to say it, but I didn’t dare. I envy their happy life.]

Li Yanchen was stunned.

He covered his face in embarrassment. ‘Did Lin Wan do this on purpose?’ Li Yanchen felt a whirlwind of emotions inside him.

“Mr. Li, is this okay? Is it crooked?” Lin Wan continued to paste the window flowers and couplets.

How could she be so calm?

Li Yanchen suddenly felt like a drama queen with a hundred emotions clawing at him. If only she had warned him.

But he did love the fact that Lin Wan had kissed him and left a mark on him… He liked it when the viewers teased him about being happy. It was true. He was really happy!

‘I’m doomed. I’m making a habit of this.’

[I notice Mr. Li smiling.]

[Does he like hearing us talk about how affectionate he is with Lin Wan?]

[Mr. Li is becoming more and more shameless.]

“Li Yanchen, what are you doing? My hands are tired. Check and see if it’s crooked or not?” Lin Wan called out to him again.

“A little higher on the left. That’s too much… A little lower, and a bit to the right…”

After pasting the window flowers and couplets, Lan Village became lively.

The guests took photos in front of each family’s door and had a simple meal before gathering at the village entrance to depart for their homes.

Everyone hugged one another goodbye.

Doudou, who had been the most rational the day before, cried the most. “I know we’ll see each other after the New Year. These are tears of joy. Sister

Wheatley, Jiejie…’

Wheatley’s eyes welled up and tears flowed down her cheeks.

Tutu and Li Zekai sniffled.

A few older kids turned their backs on the little kids.

‘It’s not the first time we’re parting. Why are they so sad?’ Li Zexin was also feeling sad after watching the other children crying. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Everyone walked to their car. They rolled their windows down and shouted goodbye to their friends.

The car left Lan Village. On the way, the three kids were silent.

Li Zekai drank some water. “Let’s think about happy things. It’s almost the New Year, and I want Auntie Lin to help me pick my clothes.”

“You little brat, you still want to pick clothes? Just buy whatever you see,” Li Zexin said. “I need to pick clothes, though. I’m in ninth grade now and need a decent outfit.”

“Why should you, big brother? You always say you’re in ninth grade and enjoy so many privileges.” Li Zekai pouted.

“You’re still young, so focus on your studies. Why bother so much about looking good? You’re not acting, nor are you giving interviews. Ms. Lin, I know a place that has many clothing studios. Vivi took me there once for custom-made clothes. How about I take you there during the winter break? I’ll give you a set of new clothes for the New Year,” said Li Zexuan.

“Big brother, you should let Vivi take you instead. I and Jiejie have no decent clothes. Mom will take us there. Every year, Assistant Qin buys our clothes. He has really bad taste in clothes. He only cares about keeping us warm and doesn’t even look at the clothes properly.” Li Zexin started playing the pity card.

Lin Wan had figured out the pattern by now. Whenever Li Zexin wanted a favor, he would call her “Mom.” Buying clothes for them was not a very complicated task.

She turned around. “Are all your clothes bought by Assistant Qin?”

Lin Wan was skeptical. She remembered that her three stepsons had gone to the marketplace to pick clothes for her once. They were all very particular about the types of clothes they liked. How did they accept everything that Assistant Qin bought them?

“Yeah. Mr. Li is busy, and we can’t be bothered to pick new clothes for the New Year. Boys can wear whatever,” said Li Zexin nonchalantly.

“Alright then. During the winter break, you three can pick clothes together. I’ll take care of it as a welcome gift for you guys.” She had been at the Li family’s house for half a year and had never given her stepsons a gift.

“No. Save that money for your retirement. The expenses for Xinxin and Jiejie are on me.”

“Why are you bringing up retirement again?” Lin Wan grumbled. “Who do you think you’re looking down on? I’m also a somewhat famous dessert livestreamer and a successful host at the Night Talk.”

“I’m a big star. I have money, and my finances will be managed by you in the future. You can use it as you wish,” said Li Zexuan.

Li Zekai and Li Zexin felt uneasy, as they were the poorest among the three. At this point, they couldn’t even stand their ground. “Let big brother handle it. He has a lot of money..”
