Wen Xin casually peeled a hawthorn ball and popped it into her mouth, lounging lazily on Mu Chengxi’s lap, looking up at him.

“Do you not need to return to the Mu family tonight? Don’t they celebrate New Year’s Eve together?” Having eaten her fill, Wen Xin remembered Mu Chengxi’s role as the head of the Mu family, thinking it customary to have a reunion meal.

“No need; the Mu family isn’t that strict. Only on the day of the family banquet are we required to dine together. Even during the Spring Festival, there’s no obligation for everyone to return. After all, with everyone having their own agendas, it’s impossible to have a harmonious gathering even if we’re seated together. ”

Having seen the attitude of Mu Chengxi’s uncles and aunts, Wen Xin wasn’t surprised by his response. She nodded, understanding the situation well.

After dinner, Wen Xin started to feel sleepy. She glanced at the other two sitting on the floor playing games and motioned towards Mu Chengxi with her fingers, pointing upstairs.

“I’m sleepy. Carry me upstairs to rest. We can join them for the countdown later.”

Wen Xin stretched her arms towards Mu Chengxi, who skillfully picked her up and headed upstairs.

Wen Huai watched them leave, his lips twitching slightly at the sight. ‘Those two…’

The moment they entered the room, Mu Chengxi kicked the door shut, placed Wen Xin on the bed without giving her a chance to refuse, and kissed her immediately.

Wen Xin’s hands slid under Mu Chengxi’s shirt, igniting a wildfire with her gentle movements…

When Wen Xin emerged from the shower at 11:20 pm, she saw the man lying on the bed, pinched his beautiful ear, and admired how Mu Chengxi wasn’t just handsome – every part of him was exquisitely perfect.

“I’m going to change clothes. You should take a quick shower and come downstairs. Let’s join them for the New Year.”

“Okay.”

Mu Chengxi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with lingering affection. Wen Xin dared not meet his eyes, quickly standing up, and pulled out a set of clothes from her backpack, changing before leaving the room in haste.

Mu Chengxi, lying on the bed, chuckled at Wen Xin’s fleeing figure. It seemed his “inhuman” image had deeply imprinted on her heart.

But he couldn’t help it. His love for her was too overpowering.

When Mu Chengxi came downstairs after freshening up, he was surprised to find the living room filled with people.

Liang Luoyu and Gu Yanzhe had shown up uninvited, Nan Xu and Ling Yichen brought Ling Xuer along, and even Chu Yunxuan, who had planned to enjoy herself at a bar, was sitting on the living room floor, munching on duck heads and drinking beer.

Wen Xin sat on the sofa, one arm around Tan Xingyue and the other around Ling Xuer, exuding a boss-like aura.

If not for his certainty of Wen Xin’s love for him, Mu Chengxi might have thought Wen Xin preferred girls, especially kind-hearted ones.

Seeing Mu Chengxi come down, Liang Luoyu enthusiastically invited him to have a few drinks.

By now, Liang Luoyu had almost fully recovered under Nan Xu’s care, even having his arm cast removed.

Mu Chengxi glanced at Liang Luoyu, sat down beside him, and took a small sip of the beer handed to him, feeling it was too cold.

“This beer is too cold. How about some white wine instead? Butler, do we have any white wine?”

“White wine? We might not have any in the wine cellar. How about Mr. Mu, you pick out a few bottles of red wine instead? It really isn’t the season for beer.”

The butler stood up, went to fetch the keys to the wine cellar, and then led Liang Luoyu and Chu Yunxuan to pick out some red wine.

Upon entering the Wen family’s wine cellar, Liang Luoyu and Chu Yunxuan couldn’t help but gasp at the scale of the collection, mistaking it for a winery if they didn’t know any better.

They were curious about how much the villa’s owner must love wine.

“Can we really drink any of these wines?” Liang Luoyu asked, his voice trembling as he surveyed the cellar. Even a single bottle here was worth a fortune. Could the Wen family really be this generous?

“Of course, Mr. Liang, feel free to choose. Some of the wines are quite old, and I’m unsure about their taste. But these were all sent from vineyards in recent years. Feel free to pick any.”

The butler was happy to see someone interested in drinking. The wine cellar had been overstocked for years, and he hadn’t had wine delivered for over three years. If Miss Wen’s friends came over often, he could arrange for more fine wines to be delivered.

With the butler’s generosity, Liang Luoyu and Chu Yunxuan didn’t hold back, carrying a box of wine out of the cellar together.

Seeing Liang Luoyu and Chu Yunxuan carrying the box of wine, Ling Yichen and Liang Luoyu’s eyes twitched slightly. “Aren’t you guys going a bit too far? Do you plan to drink red wine like its water?”

“You’re not going to empty Miss Wen’s wine cellar, are you?”

“Gu Yanzhe, who are you looking down on? Miss Wen’s cellar can’t even be described as just a wine cellar; it’s more like a wine library. Have you seen an entire cabinet of Romanée-Conti? Just regret it!”

Liang Luoyu smirked mysteriously, not willing to reveal how many fine wines were actually in Wen Xin’s cellar, fearing the truth might shock them.

Hearing Liang Luoyu’s words and seeing his smug expression, everyone’s gaze fell on Wen Xin, who was nonchalantly playing games with Tan Xingyue.

“What are you looking at me for? My parents left the wine cellar. My mom has a vineyard overseas, and the red wine is sent from there. If you like it, drink up.” Wen Xin saw no need to hide this from her closest friends. If they enjoyed it, that was all that mattered. Those things were ot little use to someone who got drunk easily like her.

Liang Luoyu, having seen the wine cellar, couldn’t help but gasp, always thinking Mu Chengxi was extravagant, but now realizing Wen Xin was just as lavish.

He finally believed the saying: “People with similar fields of energy are drawn to each other.”

Just then, fireworks burst outside, pulling everyone’s attention away from the wine cellar. Mu Chengxi glanced at the time, stood up, and extended his hand to Wen Xin.

“It must be Mu Dong and Mu Bei’s fireworks display ready. Let’s go outside to watch. ”

Wen Xin put down her phone, took Mu Chengxi’s hand to jump off the sofa, then put on her shoes. They both headed to the foyer to put on down jackets.

Mu Chengxi wrapped Wen Xin up tightly with a scarf before taking her out to watch the fireworks.

The fireworks show lasted about an hour. Despite the cold weather, no one wanted to leave, and the display attracted many spectators..
