When the three of them got home, it was already half past ten in the evening. Everyone in the manor had gone home for the holiday, so this meant that He Li and the others had to do all the work themselves.

"Xiaotian, a little more to the left, yes, just right." This is Gu Yan asking Jiang Qitian to paste window paper-cuts.

"Master, don't move, let me do it!" Gu Yan saved today's main dish from He Li. If he was a step later, the chicken wings would have been ruined.

By the time Gu Yan finally made twelve dishes, she felt like her hands were almost broken.

He Li knew that Gu Yan was a good cook, but he clearly remembered that seven years ago, Gu Yan was still a novice in the kitchen.

"Who did you learn this cooking skill from? It's really good." He Li picked up a piece of braised pork and tasted it. It was fat but not greasy. Although it couldn't be compared with that of a chef, it had the flavor of a home-cooked dish.

Jiang Qitian, who was standing by, also felt a rare warmth today, and his words were filled with warmth: "Of course, my dad taught me. When Sister Gu Yan first came to my house, she almost blew up the kitchen."

After these words were spoken, Gu Yan and Jiang Qitian were both stunned for a moment, and the lively mood that was originally overflowing became much lower.

"Really? Then this is truly a case of those who plant trees will enjoy the shade." It was clearly a joke, but Jiang Qitian could hear the irony in it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Sister Gu Yan has lived alone all these years. My dad and she are innocent."

He Li didn't expect that he would have an unexpected surprise during the New Year's Eve dinner. When he and Gu Yan got their marriage certificate, there were already many doubts, and now Jiang Qitian was confessing everything.

Gu Yan didn't want to lose her temper on such a beautiful day as New Year's Eve, so she could only look at He Li with a warning look, then picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks and stuffed the meat into He Li's mouth while he was about to speak.

It was clearly a provocative action, but in Jiang Qitian's eyes it was just flirting between the two. He was a little angry and put down his chopsticks after eating a piece of lotus root slice.

"Sister Gu Yan, what is your relationship with this person? Why are you living in his house? What is the real reason why you left Qingcheng?"

"Xiaotian, this is a matter between us adults. I'm just asking you, have you been skipping school for a month? If I hadn't contacted your head teacher today, how long would you have kept it a secret from me? Today is New Year's Eve, and I don't want to argue with you. If you still consider me your sister Gu Yan, then after the Spring Festival, return to Qingcheng immediately. Otherwise, we'll just be strangers."

Gu Yan was not joking. She knew how important studying was to Jiang Qitian now. If Jiang Qitian really gave up on himself, she didn't know what extreme things she would do.

Gu Yan rarely gets so angry. She has experienced a lot of things over the years, but not many of them really concern her. Jiang Qitian is one of them now.

"I understand. I will go back to Qingcheng." Jiang Qitian knew that if he continued to act recklessly, Gu Yan would really give up on him.

He Li looked at Gu Yan and Jiang Qitian, with many thoughts in his mind, but in the end he still didn't ask. For some things, he needed time to verify the truth.

After dinner, Gu Yan prepared a red envelope for Jiang Qitian. In the past, Jiang Hao always gave it to him, but now the person who gave the red envelope became Gu Yan.
