“No, I have to upload this photo on WeChat . ” Su Yue’s eyes darted around as she looked for her phone . “I want to take Third Brother’s ugly dumplings too, to highlight how pretty my dumplings are . ”
She said it with a cheeky grin .
She separated the dumplings into three sections and took a photo .
She seemed cheerful and it made Xuxu feel a sense of relief .
She knew that Su Yue would slowly get back on her feet despite all the suffering and pain . In time, she would eventually get better .
“Miss, dinner is ready . Please go wash your hands . ”
Aunt Zhang said that to Su Yue and Xuxu as she stood at the door .
The elderly lady looked especially happy that day .

They had additional family members this year and, of course, the twins’ arrival .
Yan Weihong and the rest came down shortly . It was Chinese New Year’s eve so even the twins would be at the dining table, too .
They settled down and Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen with plates . She gazed at Yan Weihong and Mu Li who were carrying the babies .
The old lady suddenly remarked, with her eyes glistening, “It has been a while since it was this lively at home . ”
Xuxu nodded . “Yes, you’re right . ”
“I remember that when Third Young Master was still young, the old madam would always carry him around . She refused to let anyone else carry him during the reunion dinner as well . ” Aunt Zhang mopped her eyes with her palms as she watched the twins with fondness in her eyes .
Her words made even Yan Rusheng feel strangely nostalgic .
Xuxu sniffed and smiled at Aunt Zhang . “Come and eat with us . ”

“There are a couple of more dishes in the kitchen . You can eat first . ” Aunt Zhang turned around and walked back .
She wiped the rest of her tears with her apron with her back facing them .
“Here you go, a red packet for each of you . ”
Dinner had just started, and Yan Weihong took out several red packets . He started from Su Yan and ended with Su Yue .
“You’re the youngest, so yours is the biggest . ”
Su Yue gazed at Yan Weihong in a reverie .
‘Little lass, you’ve grown a year older . ’
She reminisced how Ming Ansheng had given her a red packet last year, too .
He was smiling at her affectionately with a gentle expression .
Was he having his reunion dinner right now?
They puzzled Yan Weihong when she didn’t reach out to receive it . “What’s wrong?”
“I’m fine . ” Su Yue shook her head and curled her lips . She received the red packet and said, “Thank you, Second Uncle Yan . ”
She gripped the red packet tightly in her hands and bit her lip .
Her appetite abruptly vanished despite the sumptuous feast .
The Ming family hustled together for the joyous occasion . The atmosphere was lively and cheerful .
However, Ming Ansheng was in the study, cordoned off from the noise and happiness .
He stretched himself as he finished browsing through a stack of documents . He raised his cup and took a sip of the cold tea .
He picked up his phone and ignored the rest of the notifications . He clicked on WeChat .
Zhou Shuang had just updated a congratulatory message to her friends .
Ming Ansheng didn’t read her message and clicked on other updates .
What caught his eye was a familiar name that he missed so dearly .
‘From the left, it’s mine, Third sister-in-law, and then Third Brother… Hahaha… Third Brother, are those considered dumplings? Third sister-in-law and my dumplings are beauties while his dumpling is a beast!’
Ming Ansheng smiled fondly at the photo, and his expression softened instantly .
