As Jiang Mingyuan and Shen Qingyue left with Dongdong, the originally lively courtyard gradually returned to calm.

When Jiang Mingyuan walked out of the yard, he noticed a few leaves attached to the back of Shen Qingyue's hair.

His brows furrowed slightly, realizing that maybe things weren't as simple as they seemed.

After Jiang Mingyuan returned home, he closed the door and turned to Shen Qingyue, his eyes full of questioning.

The lighting in the room is soft, creating a warm and quiet atmosphere.

"Qingyue, I saw leaves in your hair, were you the one who scared Qiangqiang?" Jiang Mingyuan's voice was low.

Shen Qingyue shook her head, her voice calm: "No."

Jiang Mingyuan walked softly behind Shen Qingyue and gently took a few leaves from her hair.

His movements were gentle, as if he were afraid of disturbing her thoughts.

Shen Qingyue stood there without speaking.

She looked out the window, a complex emotion flashing through her eyes.

There was a silent tension in the room.

"Ahem...I'll just pretend I didn't see it."

Shen Qingyue stood quietly in the room, her eyes still looking out the window, but her heart was in chaos.

She was worried that Jiang Mingyuan would be angry because of her behavior. Although she did not admit it directly, she knew that Jiang Mingyuan had guessed the truth.

Jiang Mingyuan gently put the leaves aside, his movements slow.

He took a deep breath and then slowly walked to Shen Qingyue.

Shen Qingyue felt Jiang Mingyuan approaching, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

Shen Qingyue was ready to accept the blame, but to her surprise, Jiang Mingyuan did not speak, but gently held her in his arms.

Shen Qingyue felt surprised. Her body stiffened for a moment, but she soon relaxed.

Jiang Mingyuan's hug was particularly warm, giving Shen Qingyue great comfort.

His voice was gentle, revealing a concern that was difficult to ignore: "Qingyue, I understand what you are doing, but you can't run into the woods so late in the future. If you encounter any poison or dangerous situation, then Oh no."

Shen Qingyue's heart felt warm.

But Jiang Mingyuan's words and actions surprised her, because in his last life he abandoned his wife and children and never came back for decades. Could it be that he had changed his gender?

This tenderness made her feelings for Jiang Mingyuan more complicated, and at the same time increased her affection for him.

Shen Qingyue then said calmly: "I understand, Mingyuan, thank you."

The atmosphere in the room gradually became relaxed and warm, and the distance between the two became closer at this moment.

During her days in the Jiang family, Shen Qingyue often felt bored.

It was difficult for her to find suitable things to occupy her time in this environment.

So Shen Qingyue often took Dongdong to her natal family, the Shen family.

The atmosphere of the Shen family is completely different from that of the Jiang family. Shen Qingyue can feel more comfortable there.

Shen Qingyue can relax, chat with her parents about daily life, and share every detail of her life.

Dongdong also likes to go to grandma and grandpa's house, where he can play freely. Shen Qingyue also observed that Dongdong behaved more lively at Shen's house, which made her feel a little happy.

Every time it was time for dinner, Shen Qingyue took Dongdong back to Jiang's house on time.

Shen Qingyue's behavior of taking Dongdong to Shen's house every day gradually attracted the attention of the Jiang family.

Especially Mrs. Jiang, she was dissatisfied with Shen Qingyue's frequent outings.

In Mrs. Jiang's view, Shen Qingyue always ran to her parents' house during the Chinese New Year, so that the villagers could see what she was like.

Old Man Jiang also knew something about this issue. He approached Shen Qingyue, and although his attitude was gentle, his words revealed a certain seriousness: "Qingyue, I know that you and Dongdong like to go to your parents' house, but after all, they are still Jiang family members. Let's go back after the New Year, so as to give people a stable impression." Although Shen Qingyue agreed to what Old Man Jiang said, she was inevitably a little unhappy in her heart.

Shen Qingyue could only choose to settle down temporarily. She understands that some compromises will be necessary. I don’t want to cause unnecessary disputes due to my actions.

As time goes by, New Year's Eve soon arrives.

This is a day for family reunions and the most important time of the year.

It was also Shen Qingyue's first New Year's Eve in the Jiang family since her rebirth.

On New Year's Eve, the Jiang family's yard was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the festive atmosphere filled every corner.

Every household is busy preparing for New Year's Eve dinner, and the Jiang family is no exception.

Every corner of the house has been cleaned, and red couplets are pasted on the windows, symbolizing good luck and happiness in the New Year.

The adults at home were busy cooking, while the children were chasing and playing in the yard, full of laughter.

The lights in the Jiang family's courtyard were brightly lit, and the aroma of the New Year's Eve dinner filled every corner.

Everyone in the family gathers around the dining table, looking forward to the most important meal of the year.

Mrs. Jiang brought a plate of hot dumplings to the table and said with a smile: "Come on, let's try the dumplings I made."

The table is already filled with various dishes, including braised pork, steamed fish, fried chicken nuggets, and homemade chicken soup.

Old Man Jiang was very happy today. He announced an interesting little game: "Everyone, please pay attention. I put a coin in the dumpling. Whoever eats it will be lucky. I will also give him the biggest red envelope!"

After hearing what Old Man Jiang said, the children suddenly seemed to be ignited and were as excited as crazy.

They all reached out to pick up the dumplings, and every child's face was filled with excitement.

"I must find that coin!" Qiangqiang shouted excitedly, picking dumplings on the plate quickly with his little hands.

Other children are not far behind, and everyone hopes to be the lucky one.

They moved quickly and carefully, fearing that they would miss the lucky coin.

The adults looked at these lively children with gentle smiles on their faces.

They know that this joy and innocence are the best parts of New Year's Eve.

Dongdong showed unusual calmness in this lively scene.

He didn't rush to grab the dumplings like other children, but sat quietly, waiting for the adults to start using their chopsticks.

His demeanor seemed mature and polite, which seemed inappropriate for his age.

When the adults started to use their chopsticks, Shen Qingyue reminded him softly: "Dongdong, you can eat."

Dongdong nodded, and then started to pick up the dumplings carefully.

His movements were graceful, not as hurried as other children, and he seemed to be in no hurry to find the dumpling with the coin hidden in it.

Old Man Jiang was sitting at one end of the dining table, with a kind look in his eyes.

Looking at Dongdong's polite behavior, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

As the elder of the family, he always hopes to see the next generation grow up well, and Dongdong's performance undoubtedly makes him proud.

"Dongdong is such a sensible and good boy." Old Man Jiang couldn't help but mutter to himself, his voice full of approval.

Shen Qingyue sat at the corner of the dining table, silently holding dumplings and tasting them slowly.

Her eyes were deep, as if she was thinking about something, but she also seemed a little lost in thought.

"What do you think?"

The man's hoarse voice sounded, Shen Qingyue was stunned and laughed.

"fine."
