The four adults and two children clinked their glasses together.

When Lin Xiaowan met Huo Zheng’s eyes, he smiled at her before he raised the glass to his lips. She was not sure how much he remembered of the past, but now, it was no longer important to her. Her memories from this life were slowly replacing those from the past.

She leaned over to Huo Zheng and said, “I want another sip.”

Huo Zheng looked at Lin Xiaowan who was acting coquettishly. Although his voice was gentle, it was firm as well as he said, “You’ve already agreed that you’d only take one sip. You already had a sip earlier.”

The atmosphere was very casual. They chatted as they ate and drank just like an ordinary family.

After a while, Huo Cheng suddenly said, “Since both of you are engaged, we should hold a banquet so no one will speculate and create rumors…”

Qiao You’an had almost forgotten about this matter. She knew Huo Zheng and Lin Xiaowan had gone to see the meteor shower a while ago. She had also seen their rings so there was no need to ask too much. She only needed to take a look at Huo Zheng to obtain the answer. When she heard her husband’s words, she nodded and said, “That’s right. Now that Huo Zheng has a ring on his finger, even if others don’t take the initiative to ask, they also know what’s happening…”

Seeing the hesitant expression on Lin Xiaowan’s face, Qiao You’an said, “It’s fine if you don’t want a huge banquet. We’ll just hold a small banquet after the new year. We can’t let outsiders speculate about this matter. It won’t be good for your reputation.”

Qiao You’an was sincerely thinking on Lin Xiaowan’s behalf. In her opinion, if Lin Xiaowan was willing, it would be better if Lin Xiaowan could marry Huo Zheng immediately.

“What do you think?” Lin Xiaowan asked Huo Zheng. She was no longer very resistant to such things, but she was still a little uncomfortable when she thought about how everyone would stare at her as though she was a rare animal.

Huo Zheng thought about it for a moment before he said, “I want to make this public and official so others won’t talk or speculate about you.”

Due to the power and status of the Huo family, all their movements were subjected to public scrutiny. In Huo Zheng’s opinion, if he did not make things clear, it would only make people gossip more.

Lin Xiaowan’s background was ordinary; she was not from an aristocratic family. It was inevitable that people would gossip about the difference in their status and background. Huo Zheng naturally did not want her to be subjected to malicious speculations.

Lin Xiaowan thought about it for a moment before asking, “What will the engagement banquet be like?”

Qiao You’an replied, “There won’t be a lot of people. Just some friends. The media won’t be present.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded in agreement. “It’s fine as long as it’s not too grand. We’ll do as you said then, Sister-in-law. We can announce it officially during the banquet. We’ll discuss the rest later.”

Dinner lasted until past nine. After that, Huo Zheng, Lin Xiaowan, and the two children set off fireworks in the courtyard.

Huo Cheng, who was usually in charge of the entertainment during the lunar new year, had bought a lot of fireworks.

Lin Xiaowan and the two children huddled together while Huo Zheng lit the fireworks.

After lighting them, Huo Zheng ran back and pulled Lin Xiaowan into his arms.

Lin Xiaowan liked looking at beautiful things like this. The fireworks Huo Cheng bought were very unique and much more beautiful than the ones she had seen. She raised her phone and recorded a short video before posting it on Speaker.

Although it was the eve of the lunar new year, everyone seemed to be on their phones. Not long after Lin Xiaowan posted, many comments came pouring in. All sorts of people gathered in her comment section and started another round of discussion.

After midnight, Lin Xiaowan climbed into bed and looked at the comments.

[Netizen #1: Doesn’t Shengjing’s policy forbid fireworks? How dare you light fireworks so openly? You haven’t even married into a wealthy family yet, but you’re already showing off! I’m going to report this!]

Many people replied to this comment. Some agreed, some disagreed, and some were only curious.

Lin Xiaowan was aware of Shengjing’s fireworks policy. However, fireworks were only prohibited in the city center. The Huo family’s old residence was miles and miles away from the city center so it was not illegal to set off fireworks.

[Lin Xiaowan: Shengjing only banned fireworks in the city center. We’re in the suburbs so it’s fine.]

The other party seemed to be paying close attention to the comment section. As soon as Lin Xiaowan replied, the other party’s reply came almost immediately.

[Netizen #1: Let alone Shengjing, in the entire Shangxia, who doesn’t know the Huo family? The Huo family is so rich, how can they live on the outskirts of the city? Who are you trying to lie to?]

[Lin Xiaowan: Are you okay? What’s wrong with living on the outskirts? Moreover, did you buy the house? Am I staying in your house?]

Lin Xiaowan’s reaction now was much better than before after reading so many comments.

Many people laughed when they read her comment. Only a few people acted in an extreme manner. As for those who also lived in Shengjing, seeing that the other party was so stubborn, they also spoke up for Lin Xiaowan.

[Netizen #1: I’m speechless. Why can’t rich people live on the outskirts of the city? They can live wherever they want. The older generation in Shengjing lived on the outskirts of the city. It’s normal to spend the lunar new year there. What’s so hard to understand?]

[Netizen #2: I’m dying of laughter. It’s just past midnight, but there are already all sorts of comments…]

After thinking about it for a moment, Lin Xiaowan clicked on the profile of the other person who was very persistent in finding fault with her. The account was created a while ago, but there was no information or post at all. Clearly, the other party really hated her or the Huo family.

To be on the safe side, Lin Xiaowan waited for Huo Zheng to finish washing up before she spoke to him about this matter.

Huo Zheng looked at the comments and was not worried at all.

“It’s fine. I’ll get someone to check the account later.”

Then, he took the phone away and said, “Don’t look at it anymore. Let’s go to sleep.”

“But, 1 don’t usually stay up late. It’s almost 1 AM now, but I’m not sleepy at all. Moreover, 1 ate so much earlier…” Lin Xiaowan said softly.

Huo Zheng was helpless when faced with her. In the end, he silently passed her a digestive pill..
