The "important thing" Pei Zigui mentioned was going back to the old house to see his grandfather, so Jiang Ruoli naturally agreed without thinking.

"I have already prepared the New Year's gifts for Grandpa. Even if you don't tell me, I have already thought about finding a time to go back to the old house~"

After eating a few dumplings, Jiang Ruoli was already full. He picked up the chopsticks and fiddled with the dumplings in the bowl, but refused to eat them. When he said this, he shook his head and looked like a little peacock, waiting for praise.

Pei Zigui moved the bowl in front of Jiang Ruoli over, looked at the little girl's smug expression, raised the corners of his mouth, and indulged her to the extreme: "Mrs. Pei is indeed my good and virtuous wife."

He picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, frowning slightly. The shrimp and corn with cheese was a bit too much for him.

Coincidentally, half a cup of fruit and vegetable juice fell beside me.

Pei Zigui took a sip to dilute the taste in his mouth. He didn't know when they gradually developed such a tacit understanding.

***

Germany, evening, dusk is approaching.

The theater was crowded with people, and the ballet dancers were busy preparing for the evening performance, putting on makeup, changing clothes, and reviewing their lines and movements.

Among the Western faces with high noses and small skulls, there appeared an Eastern face. Among the beauties, she was not too stunning, but could barely be described as good-looking and well-proportioned.

Qin Yushan sat in the corner. As a supporting role in this dance drama, she didn't even have her own dressing table.

A video was playing on her mobile phone screen. The woman in the video was smiling sweetly, and the man who suddenly appeared had love in his eyes.

"Wow, she is so beautiful, is she a star in China?"

Hearing this, Qin Yushan's newly made nails dug into her palms, leaving marks. When she looked up again, she had adjusted her smile to look harmless.

"No, she's a little internet celebrity."

The colleague nodded halfheartedly, "This man is really attractive. I'm sure she must be living a very happy life."

Westerners' language is always straightforward, but these words did not sound so pleasant to Qin Yushan's ears.

Really? Are they happy?

With the fingertip moving to the left, the video returns to the scene where the man is shooting an arrow with a frown, and it plays over and over again.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the streets and lanes of Jiangcheng are filled with a festive atmosphere. New Year songs are heard from all directions, and Brother Dehua starts to congratulate you on your prosperity. Everyone's face is filled with the joy of welcoming the new year.

The custom in Jiangcheng is that every household will gather together before New Year's Eve to welcome the New Year, have a meal together, and have another New Year's greeting after the New Year.

Therefore, many of the Pei family's collateral relatives also came to the Pei family's old house this time. Although they had met before at the wedding, Jiang Ruoli really couldn't remember these faces.

Because Pei Zigui was there, most people came over to greet them. As a young lady, it was difficult for her to socialize with people she didn't know. After responding politely, she simply started playing with the child.

The little boy was Pei Zigui’s nephew, but Jiang Ruoli couldn’t remember whose nephew he was, as he had forgotten it after hearing it.

The little boy is quite handsome, as can be seen from the good genes of the Pei family. He is fair and clean-skinned, with a slightly chubby face. However, it is obvious that he will be a little troublemaker in twenty years.

Probably because it was the first time that Xiao He met Jiang Ruoli, he was quite well behaved and kept leaning on her on the sofa. The two of them were playing with their mobile phones there, and even their expressions were synchronized when they were watching videos.

"I think this little girl from the Jiang family has a good personality. She's not as bad as people say. She can play with Xiao He. It seems that she likes children very much."

Pei Zigui's eyes never left Jiang Ruoli, and when he heard her name, even the expression on his face softened a little.

"Lili is very good. I don't need to rely on outside voices to get to know my wife. No matter how spoiled or pretentious she is, she can do whatever she wants with me protecting her."

Pei Zigui had said so, so naturally no one else would say anything more. Even a fool could see how tightly he protected this young lady.

Suddenly, the little face on the sofa wrinkled into a ball.

Jiang Ruoli raised her head and reached out to Pei Zigui who was not far away in a delicate voice: "Hubby, the phone is out of battery."

After this shout, the voices of conversation around them became a little quieter.

What should I tell my husband when my phone runs out of battery?

Pei Zigui walked to the sofa and pushed away Xiao He's chubby face that was about to lean on Jiang Ruoli's shoulder.

"Uncle, why did you hit me?"

What children of this age say is always easy to cause misunderstanding. It was just a slight push, but in Xiao He's mouth it became "hit".

Pei Zigui sneered, "If you hug my wife again, I will really beat you."

Jiang Ruoli was so taken aback by his childishness that his eyes curved with amusement.

"You're jealous of a five-year-old kid? That's so childish."

"Well, five years old is also a male."

Pei Zigui admitted it generously, and put Jiang Ruoli's phone in his hand, his voice a hundred times gentler: "I'll go charge your phone, play mine first."

The man placed his cell phone in Jiang Ruoli’s fair and tender palm.

Now the relatives finally saw clearly that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family even needed help to charge her phone, and she let Pei Zigui do it for her.

Today, Pei Zigui has long been the head of the Pei family. Some of them, even as elders, dare not order him around at will.

Jiang Ruoli was not afraid at all and looked like he was used to it.

But Pei Zigui is willing to pamper her.

Which married couple can play with each other’s cell phones at will?

Jiang Ruoli easily unlocked Pei Zigui's phone, and the two of them, one big and one small, leaned on the sofa and started watching videos again.

At some point, Qiqi also came in from outside. The tough golden-haired guy whimpered and clinged to Jiang Ruoli's legs, making her heart melt.

"Qiqi, why did you come in? What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Woof woof woof!" (I want you to play with me!)

It's a pity that Jiang Ruoli didn't understand. She held the phone in one hand and stroked Qiqi with the other. Xiao He thought it was fun and imitated her by gently stroking Qiqi's fur.

"Aunt, Qiqi is so cute~"

"Yes, he's still very well behaved. But, in the end, you still have to call Qiqi uncle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone suddenly slipped out of his hand and was caught accurately in Qiqi's mouth. Before he could react, the little guy took out the genetic genes of a golden retriever and ran out with the phone in his mouth.

"Seven seven!"
