Ye Wanqing's grandmother, the kind elder, rests in the quiet and solemn cemetery in the capital.

Whenever Ye Wanqing went to Beijing to visit her good friend Su Junyan, she would always take a detour to the cemetery covered in wind and snow to quietly express her thoughts.

It was a snowy winter day, and the cemetery seemed particularly deserted. Even the flower seller who usually waited at the door had packed up her stall early and gone home because of the cold weather.

Fortunately, Ye Wanqing had already picked out a bunch of pure white lilies in a cozy flower shop on the way to the cemetery. Otherwise, if she came empty-handed, she would always feel a little sorry for her grandmother's spirit in heaven.

The ancestors of the Lin family are also buried in this cemetery. Every year during the Qingming Festival, Ye Wanqing would always meet Lin Xuan and Mrs. Lin here to visit the graves.

In the past, as a member of the Lin family, she would also come with them to pay homage. However, the location of Grandpa Lin's tomb was relatively remote, about a few hundred meters away from her grandmother's tomb.

Ye Wanqing gently placed the lily in front of her grandmother's grave and whispered, "Grandma, I brought my boyfriend to see you."

These words were filled with deep remembrance of deceased relatives and beautiful expectations for the future. Although they had been married for six years, Ye Wanqing never mentioned Lin Xuan's existence to her grandmother every time they came to pay their respects during the Qingming Festival.

This was the first time Lin Xuan paid a visit to Ye Wanqing's grandmother. He looked carefully at the old woman in the photo. The kind face made him feel warm in his heart.

If you look closely, you can find that Ye Wanqing's eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to her grandmother's, as if the flow of time has gained some kind of wonderful connection at this moment.

Due to the cold weather and falling snow, the two did not stay in the cemetery for too long.

On the way back, Ye Wanqing became unusually talkative. She told many stories about her grandmother. Those warm and beautiful memories were like the warm sun in winter, warming each other's hearts.

Lin Xuan listened while driving, occasionally responding. Ye Wanqing's gentle and delicate words echoed in the car, as if the whole world had become soft.

However, as the conversation deepened, Ye Wanqing's voice gradually lowered. She felt a little tired from staying up late last night and getting up early this morning. The heating in the car also made her increasingly sleepy. Finally, unable to resist the urge to sleep, she slowly closed her eyes.

Lin Xuan turned his head and found that Ye Wanqing had fallen asleep. He gently turned up the heating temperature to make the car warmer and more comfortable.

Ye Wanqing slept past lunch time, and when she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed in the bedroom.

She rubbed her temples, reached for the coat beside her, and was about to put it on and go downstairs to look for Lin Xuan. At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Lin Xuan's figure came into view:

"Awake?" His voice was full of tenderness and concern.

Ye Wanqing smiled awkwardly: "How long have I slept?"

Her voice was slightly hoarse, obviously due to the long sleep and dry mouth. Lin Xuan handed her the cup in his hand:

"It's already past one o'clock. Get up and have lunch first." His tone was full of pampering and tolerance.

"I slept for so long?" Ye Wanqing said in surprise.

It was not yet eleven o'clock when they returned from the cemetery, and she had slept for more than two hours. Lin Xuan smiled and placed her clothes beside her:

"You worked hard last night."

"I'll go downstairs and prepare the meal."

Lin Xuan turned and left the room. Ye Wanqing felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she watched him leave. This weekend, while cold, was sunny.

However, due to Mrs. Lin's accident, both of them had no interest in entertainment and stayed in the old house to accompany Mrs. Lin almost the entire weekend.

Lin Xuan doesn't talk much but always does everything silently.

While Ye Wanqing was playing chess with Mrs. Lin, he was peeling apples beside her. His focused expression was heartwarming. There were four people in the living room. He peeled four apples, and even the housekeeper joked:

"I'm so lucky today to eat an apple peeled by Young Master Lin Xuan himself." Her tone was full of surprise and gratitude.

Mrs. Lin glanced at Lin Xuan and said disdainfully, "He's just too bored."

But there was a kind smile on his face.

Although Mrs. Lin was unable to move and the pain from her fracture had not yet subsided, she was filled with happiness and satisfaction having Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing by her side on weekend afternoons.

Ye Wanqing always has plenty of time. She goes to the old house to accompany Mrs. Lin three or four days a week.

She knew that Mrs. Lin liked to be lively and to have someone accompany her, so she always tried to make time to accompany her. And Lin Xuan always silently supported all her decisions.

They spent wonderful time together in this loving and warm family.

Mrs. Lin's accidental fall this time really made Lin Xuan feel nervous. He decisively turned down many social engagements. Whenever night fell and he went to pick up Ye Wanqing, he would always go to the old house on purpose to talk and chat with Mrs. Lin, hoping to make her feel better and recover faster.

The housekeeper looked at Mrs. Lin's cheeks which had gradually become more plump during this period, and knew that it was due to her good mood, and he was sincerely happy for her.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is quietly approaching.

Mrs. Lin's leg injury had not yet healed, but the sound of Spring Festival firecrackers was already ringing in her ears.

When mentioning this matter, Mrs. Lin would joke with the housekeeper in private, saying that she and Ye Wanqing were really "sisters with difficulties". She was injured last year, and this year it was her turn.

Last year's Spring Festival, Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan's relationship was not yet clear, so she was naturally embarrassed to celebrate the New Year at the Lin family.

Now, she has become Lin Xuan's girlfriend. In addition, she has no other relatives, and Su Zimo cannot go home because of his work on the crew. Mrs. Lin was unhappy when she heard this and insisted that she stay in the old house for a few days.

It might be okay to refuse on a normal day, but on such a special holiday, Ye Wanqing was afraid that if she refused again, she would hurt Mrs. Lin's feelings. What's more, Lin Xuan was looking at her with those eyes full of expectation, as if she would be wrong if she didn't agree.

Ye Wanqing finally couldn't resist such nagging. She couldn't persuade the grandparents and grandchildren, so she had to agree to stay in her own nest from New Year's Eve to the third day of the New Year.

Lin Shuhuai and Lin Yongshan returned to the Lin family. Due to various reasons, not many people came to the old house to celebrate the New Year. Only Mrs. Lin, Lin Xuan and the housekeeper were left.

The housekeeper's children have all started their own families and are looking forward to family reunions, so it is naturally impossible for them to stay in the old house on New Year's Day.

Mrs. Lin's leg injury had not yet healed, and the housekeeper was worried. When she learned that Ye Wanqing was coming to stay for a few days, she packed up her things and went back with her son to celebrate the New Year.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Ye Wanqing arrived at the old house. The servants and housekeeper had all gone on holiday, but the house was still festooned with lights and colorful decorations. Red lanterns hung high, and festive blessing characters were pasted on the windows, giving off a New Year's vibe.

Although she had spent five Spring Festivals here before, this year's return was a very different experience. The ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner were prepared by the servants before their holiday, but Ye Wanqing cooked the meal herself, adding a touch of homely flavor to the meal.

To bring good luck, she meticulously prepared six dishes, symbolizing good luck. Mrs. Lin insisted on staying up all night to celebrate the New Year's Eve. Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan tried to dissuade her, but to no avail. So they pulled out their playing cards and the three of them started playing Landlord.

Mrs. Lin hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time. At around ten o'clock in the evening, she really didn't feel sleepy at all.

The three of them played until the clock struck twelve, and the new year quietly arrived.

Mrs. Lin took out the red envelope she had prepared long ago from the drawer and handed it to Ye Wanqing, saying with a smile: "In the new year, I wish you all your wishes come true and everything goes well."

"Thank you. I wish you good health and all the best in the new year." Ye Wanqing took the red envelope, feeling deeply moved.

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Lin smiled from ear to ear and handed the red envelope to Lin Xuan: "In the new year, I wish you peace and happiness."

"Thank you, mother." Lin Xuan took the red envelope, his eyes full of gratitude.

"I'm going back to sleep. You guys can play by yourselves." Mrs. Lin said as she pushed the wheelchair back to the room. Lin Xuan wanted to go forward to help, but she insisted on doing it herself, not wanting to trouble him.

After Mrs. Lin returned to her room, only Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan were left in the spacious villa. Ye Wanqing was arranged to stay in the guest room, but Lin Xuan took her directly to his room:

"My bed is big, let's sleep together."

Ye Wanqing couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "I don't need such a big bed."

He smiled, reached out and gently picked her up, and said softly: "Just think of it as accompanying me."

Ye Wanqing hooked her arm around his neck and looked at him, her smile blooming like a flower. The fireworks outside the window were dazzling, and the spacious bed was filled with warmth and sweetness.

When Ye Wanqing was carried back to bed, her eyes were already a little difficult to open. She murmured, "Remember to wake me up tomorrow. I still have to accompany Mrs. Lin."

"Okay." Lin Xuan responded softly, pulled the quilt over them both, hugged her tightly, and then closed his eyes contentedly and fell asleep.

As for those unread messages on his phone, who cares? At this moment, he has the person he loves most in his arms, and he finally understands why there is a saying that the king does not attend the court in the morning.
