Lu Gan tried to hide his embarrassment.
“Morning, Yujin.”
Song Yujin replied indifferently, “Morning.”
Lu Gan nodded slightly.
“I’m going to wash up first.”
After saying that, Lu Gan pushed his wheelchair toward the bathroom.
Song Ci was exasperated.
‘How can you leave me to face this situation alone?!’
She continued to smile awkwardly.
“Yujin, you’re up so early.”
Song Yujin said calmly, “It’s already later than usual.”
Song Ci looked at the time. He was right.
“You should sleep more.”
Song Yujin shook his head. He was ready to get out of bed.
When Song Yujin lifted the blanket, he noticed a red packet in his pocket.
Song Ci said happily, “Happy Chinese New Year. I hope you’ll stay healthy and strong.”
Song Yujin reminisced about the past. His mother used to do the same. Although she was no longer around, he still got a red packet. The little boy could not help but smile.
“Thank you.”
Lu Suo was the last to wake up. Upon discovering his red packet, he jumped up and down enthusiastically.
“Thank you, mommy and daddy!”
“You’re welcome.”
Lu Suo held the red packet in his hand. Just like Song Yujin, he reminisced about the past. His mother used to put red packets under his pillow during Chinese New Year. He did not know about the significance of a red packet, but he was still happy.
Song Ci looked at Lu Suo with gentle eyes. The latter could not help but act coquettishly. He reached out his hand and said softly, “Mommy, carry me to the bathroom.”
“Alright.”
Song Ci complied.
Lu Suo looked at their reflection in the mirror. They appeared to be very close. His grandfather’s words about Song Ci being a scheming woman were not true. He smiled sweetly and Song Ci helped him to brush his teeth.
Lu Gan was looking from the side.
“Can’t you do it yourself?”
“I want mommy to help me.”
Lu Gan said helplessly, “What a baby.”
Lu Suo hugged Song Ci’s waist.
“I am!”
Song Yujin could hear their entire conversation.
‘How childish!’
He shook his head and kept the red packet.
After washing up, the family of four went downstairs and had breakfast. Then, it was time to leave.
When no one else was in sight, Lu Hongyong reminded Lu Suo, “Little Suo, remember to give me a call.”
Lu Suo replied with a smile, “Okay.”
However, he was scoffing in his heart.
‘Pfft! As if!’
They got into a car.
Lu Gan took a last glimpse of his father and the place. After the car was some distance away, he turned around and hugged Lu Suo.
‘From now on, he’s my only family member.’
Lu Gan looked at Lu Suo. His eyes were filled with gentleness.
‘Goodbye, father. The truth may be cruel, but I’m going to reveal everything.’
After returning to Lu Gan’s house, the family of four had dinner before going to bed.
Lu Suo wanted to sleep together again. Song Ci had no objections, but Lu Gan expressed his dissatisfaction.
“You need to be more independent. Don’t always rely on us.”
Lu Suo nodded.
Song Ci did not know whether to laugh or cry. She kissed the two children a few times.
“Hopefully, this will make up for it.”
Lu Suo was full of joy.
Meanwhile, Song Yujin had a disdainful expression on his face.
After the holidays were over, Song Ci went back to work at Sunlight Media. At the same time, she was seeking out a new role in movies.
