The next day was New Year's Eve!
Si Mingjing slept in and, upon waking, saw the servants hanging lanterns and pasting couplets both inside and outside the villa.
Ye Xinguang approached Si Mingjing with a lantern in hand. "Mingjing, you'll be having New Year's Eve dinner with us tonight. This is your first Lunar New Year's Eve on Earth, so you must celebrate it with us, or else I'll be angry."
"Of course, Aunt."
Grandpa Su had called her last night, inviting her for New Year's Eve dinner, and she had declined.
Her senior colleague, Zhang Muguang, had also called her yesterday, inviting her to spend New Year's Eve with him, which she had declined as well.
She had hoped to spend New Year's Eve with the Ye Family.
But yesterday, not a single person from the Ye Family had taken the initiative to invite her, leaving her feeling awkward. Should I leave today? she wondered.
Just then, Ye Xinguang took her hand, dispelling all her awkwardness!
