On the fourth day of Da Bao and Nuonuo's honeymoon away from home, it was the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year. The next day would be New Year's Eve.
In previous years, the Ji Family of five would be bustling about, preparing all sorts of New Year's goods and flowers to decorate the home. This year, without Da Bao and Nuonuo at home, the house seemed quiet and empty.
Even the usually boisterous Young Master Ji seemed like a wilted leaf all day—sometimes curled up on the sofa playing games, sometimes standing up and sighing loudly.
"Young Master Ji, stop sighing, or you'll make all the leaves in the courtyard fall off!"
As a mother, Le Tong was just as upset as Young Master Ji.
"Mommy..." Young Master Ji threw himself over her, hugging her from behind, rubbing his chin back and forth on her shoulder as he acted childishly, "When will Brother and Sister be back? The house is so quiet!"
