Sorry, something came up today, it's a bit short, I'll make it up tomorrow.

"As long as Baohe and Yulan are here, I'll definitely be here too!"
Old Master Wan's words indirectly told Chuxia that he had agreed to her proposal and would treat Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe as his own children in the future.
In doing so, Old Master Wan wasn't using Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan to his advantage, but rather supporting them, not because of the Zhou family, but because of the Lin Family of the Capital.
Chuxia certainly understood this reasoning. She was very moved, but didn't utter a word of thanks. Some things aren't spoken; they're shown through future actions.
As the midnight bell rang, the whole family raised their glasses and drank a reunion toast. When the dumplings were served, Chuxia bit into a date-filled one on her first try, making Zhao Yulan squint with joy. She had been hoping every day for her daughter to have a child soon.
