Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1332: Chapter 794: Where to Spend the New Year_2

On the contrary, if you’re not here, I don’t have to keep worrying whether you’re waiting for me at home until the dishes go cold, and I don’t have to stress about people coming over with gifts. How much easier is that?”

So this matter was finally settled.

Sitting beside Luo Ye, Ye Xuan’s mind started spinning. He lowered his voice and discussed, “Ye’er, how about I spend New Year’s with your family too? I’ve never experienced what it’s like having so many people coming to offer New Year’s greetings.”

Luo Ye rolled her eyes at him. “What are you doing barging in for the fun? As the eldest grandson of the Ye Family, you run to my house for New Year’s—do you want your family to hate me to death?”

“They won’t.” A sparkle flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. “As long as Ye’er agrees, I guarantee my family absolutely won’t object.”

“I don’t get to decide this. Ask Grandpa.” Luo Ye kicked the ball over to Old Sir Luo.

Qian Xiaotian, who had been sitting across from them and staring at the two without blinking, couldn’t quite hear what they were saying, but based on the earlier topic she could guess a bit. She cleared her throat. “Ye’er, why don’t we let Xiao Xuan come spend New Year’s at our place too.”

“Pfft!”

Luo Feng sprayed a mouthful of water straight onto Qian Xiaotian’s face and clothes. The corner of Luo Ye’s mouth twitched; she hurriedly lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes.

Her big brother did that on purpose—he deliberately gulped a big mouthful of water just to spray it. She saw it!

“Qian Xiaotian, wipe up!” Luo Feng handed her a few tissues. “Don’t blame your brother here. It’s just that when you suddenly popped out with a ‘Xiao Xuan,’ you scared me.”

“Since we’re here, your brother has to say a couple of words to you. Given your status, you can only call him ‘brother-in-law.’ Calling him Xiao Xuan means you’ve got no sense of propriety.”

“You…” Qian Xiaotian wiped the droplets of water from her hair and face, then glanced at the glaring yellow stain on her snow‑white sweater. Her eyes filled with tears.

Instinctively she looked over at her own brother, Qian Xiaojun. He was holding a big chicken drumstick, eating with grease all over his mouth, and the look he gave her… was pure gloating!

Same type of brother, how can the difference be so huge?

“Xiao Tian, don’t look at your brother. Your brother won’t help you. Ever since you were little you loved snatching Ye’er’s things. As long as it’s something good that belongs to Ye’er, you’d always find ways to coax it into your own hands. If coaxing doesn’t work, you’d grab it by force.”

“This time, now that you’ve seen your cousin’s husband, have you fallen for him too? Honestly speaking, with a brother‑in‑law who looks like this, even your brother likes looking at him, let alone you.”

“But, let me be honest: you’re not worthy of him. Go look in a mirror at yourself, then look at Ye’er. As long as the person’s not stupid, they’ll know who to choose.”

This brother was not only gloating, he was also kicking her while she was down!

If only that chicken drumstick would choke him to death! Qian Xiaotian cursed silently to herself, then forced out an ugly smile. “Ye’er, I didn’t mean it that way, I just wanted to back you up.”

“Mm, I know.” Luo Ye looked at her with a half‑smile. “Even if you did mean it that way, it’s fine. Over the years he’s attracted more than enough bees and butterflies; adding you, sis, wouldn’t make a difference.”

On her fresh, charmingly seductive face, there was a confident smile. Was this still that timid, weak little cousin? Qian Xiaotian stared blankly at her, while inwardly she fumed—why didn’t she have an official father and such a beautiful mother?

If she did, right now there’s no way she’d be any worse than her cousin!

This was Luo Ye’s home ground; Ye Xuan here was just a guest. So he only gave Qian Xiaotian a disdainful glance before busying himself again with helping Luo Ye pick dishes.

Past experience had proved that his future little wife might look soft and fragile, but no one should dream of taking advantage of her!

This dinner, the elders all ate very happily. Among the younger generation, except for Qian Xiaotian, everyone else was also very satisfied.

…

At three in the morning, Ye Xuan quietly got up and came to Luo Ye’s door, only to find that his mother‑in‑law, Wen Xin, was already there, keeping watch outside the room. She was squatting there, her head bobbing as she nodded off.

“Mom.” Ye Xuan gently patted her. “Go back and rest. I’ll keep watch out here. If anything seems off, I’ll call Great Grandpa.”

“It’s fine, I’m not sleepy.” Wen Xin stood up and rubbed her knees. “Even if I go back to the room I can’t sleep. I’d rather stay here.”

“Dad’s here too?” Ye Xuan glanced to the side and finally noticed Luo Zhenggang sitting on a chair at the corner, his eyes fixed on him, bright and sharp.

“Sit.” Luo Zhenggang pointed to the spot beside him. “Your mom’s not at ease; she can’t bear to even move from the door to a chair.”

“Mom, it’s okay. Actually this time there’s no danger anymore.” Ye Xuan hurried to reassure Wen Xin.

“I know, but those first two times, this child didn’t even know…” Wen Xin let out a long sigh. “From childhood till now, her dad and I never cared enough about her. Fortunately she’s sensible and doesn’t blame us.”

“From now on, her dad and I don’t want to miss any part of her life again. Including when you two get married and have a baby in the future, her dad and I will also be there…”

Luo Zhenggang, a black line forming on his forehead, cut his wife off. “What are you rambling on about now?”

“Rambling?” Wen Xin rolled her eyes at her husband. “They’re going to get married in the next couple of years. You think having a baby is still far off? I’m just giving him advance notice, so he doesn’t forget to tell us when the time comes.”

Luo Zhenggang simply shut his mouth. When a woman’s dealing with something urgent and stops being reasonable, whatever you say she’ll have a reason to refute you with. She’s basically not the same person she usually is.

The house stayed very quiet the whole time!

It wasn’t until the first rays of dawn filtered in that the door finally opened softly. That girl, dazzlingly bright, outshining even the rising sun, stood at the doorway with a charming smile, looking at them, her eyes full of warmth and emotion.

Nu’an overestimated her body. She slept all day today, and by evening she finally felt a bit better. From seven o’clock until now, she managed to write this chapter. (To be continued.
