The line in front gradually shortened. Fortunately, the few elders were all physically strong. Only Hu Xin was constantly complaining about having a sore waist.

"Alright, it's our turn now. Ling Qiao, drive back home and be careful. It's New Year's Eve today. Happy New Year."

Ling Qiao looked at Tang Qingqing in his arms, smiling as they wished each other happiness. "You guys have a happy new year too. Have fun."

After letting Tang Qing go, she stood on one foot with her arms around Ling Qiao's neck. She lowered her head to rest it on his shoulder and said gently, "Take good care of Shu Shu and take good care of yourself."

Ling Qiao was somewhat stupefied by this sudden action. He felt unwell, but this was only a parting hug. He happily accepted it, lightly patting her on the back, saying, "You take good care of yourself too."

Not far away in a corner, there was a sound of "Ka Cha Ka Cha Ka Cha". Ling Qiao looked back warily and did not see any reporters. Perhaps they were just tourists taking photos. He was too sensitive.

"Goodbye, Grandma. Take care of yourself."

"Goodbye and go back."

When Ling Qiao came out, it just so happened that Deng Zijun also came over, the two of them returning together.

It was New Year's Eve, and the streets were much more deserted compared to the previous day. Many shops had already closed for the day, and the owner of a florist's shop was preparing to close her shop as she arranged the flowers in front. Ling Qiao stopped the car and walked in, "Lady Boss, give me a bunch of red roses."

The Lady Boss put down her work and greeted him with a smile. "Sure, how many do you want, sir?"

Ling Qiao thought for a bit. He had never sent a flower for comfort before, and lacked the steps of being in a relationship before marriage. As for this giver, he had also saved a lot of effort, "Ninety-nine flowers, I think. Make it a bit better wrapped up."

The Lady Boss was very happy. How could there be such a big business deal before closing the door? How could she be unhappy? "Alright, please wait a moment, sir."

Back at Chun Shuyuan's residence, there were red lanterns hanging all over the place. The speed of the property was really fast. It had only been half a day and he had already done so many things.

He had never celebrated the new year here before. In previous years, he would spend New Year's Eve with everyone in the company before being drunk by the employees. He would sleep for a day the next day, and when he woke up, it was already the first day of the new year. He was in the presidential suite of the hotel, and there were dozens of unanswered phones. Some were from Hu Xin, some from Ou Sha.

After the muddleheaded year passed three times, this year could finally be swapped for another year.

"I'm back." Lifting the rose to his chest, he wanted to give ShuShu a surprise.

"Wow …" Shu Shu first exclaimed in surprise, then complained, "Hubby, you're spending money randomly, why are you buying so much?!" Of course, there was also a hint of sweetness in this rebuke.

"I'll save you the trouble of saying that I've never sent you flowers before. This time, I'm going to make up for it."

The ninety-nine roses, with some fancy wrapping paper decorations, were incredibly heavy. However, she was extremely happy inside, so she tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss Ling Qiao on the cheek. "Thank you, husband."

Ling Qiao brought the rose into the room and placed it in the middle of the dining table. When he saw how Shu Shu was wearing an apron, he asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm washing the vegetables and waiting for you, the chef, to come back and start work."

In the end, it was still up to him to do it. Ling Qiao helplessly shook his head, "Wife, go and register for a cooking class."

"Alright, we'll go after the new year."

The two of them prepared a feast for the New Year's Eve. Although it was only two people, they prepared many dishes, including fish, meat, and crabs.

As the sky gradually turned dark, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from outside. Shu Shu stuck her head out to look, but when she saw the beautiful fireworks, she shouted, "Hubby look, it's really beautiful!"

Ling Qiao smiled and said, "If you like it, we can do it too. I'll go out and see if there's anything else I can sell."

"No, no. I'll just take a look."

Ling Qiao looked at his little wife. His face was lit up by the fireworks outside, and his big eyes were filled with fireworks. He liked her just like that.

"Hubby, the crab is cooked. Don't overcook it."

"Yeah, I know. I'm looking at the fire."

He turned on the television for the first time in days. The Spring Festival Gala was on, so it was unlikely for it to suddenly switch to the Eight Trigrams News. It was still early, so ShuShu had fixed the TV in the middle of the room. With some noise, the house became even more lively.

The dishes were all served and both of them loved to eat. Ling Qiao opened a bottle of red wine and said, "Although you say that you need to stop drinking, it's New Year's Eve tonight. It's fine to taste less red wine, but it's good for your health."

Shu Shu looked at him skillfully swinging the bottle opener and smirked. "Hur Hur, you have the final say."

Ling Qiao poured some wine for her. A dark red liquid slowly flowed down the glass wall, and the rich aroma of the wine wafted out. Just a whiff of it was enough to make one intoxicated.

"Come, let's clink glasses. Let's hope that we can have one more drink at home in the coming year."

"Hehe, you're only giving birth to a child, so I'm under a lot of pressure."

"What's the big deal with you? I should be the one under pressure."

"Stop blabbering and cheering. Happy New Year to your husband." This year, although she lost her mother, she was satisfied with Ling Qiao by her side.

"Happy New Year, wife."

On the first day of the new year, Ling Qiao and Shu Shu welcomed a super big gift.

"Hey, Jia Qian, why are you here so early in the morning to pay respects to me? "There's no need to be so courteous …" Ling Qiao said lazily, his other hand still reluctant to move away from Ling Qiao's comfortable waist.

"Ling Qiao, something big has happened." Chen Jiqian said seriously over the phone.

"Why?"

Shu Shu was beside Ling Qiao. She could hear the voice on the phone. Chen Jia Qian had said something important. That always gentle, refined, and modest gentleman had somewhat impatiently said something big.

"Did you go to the airport yesterday?!"

"That's right, send my parents to the airport. They went to the Maldives for a holiday for the new year and the Tang family as well. What happened?"

"Quickly go online and read the news. It'll also give you a way to deal with this."

Ling Qiao wrinkled his brows, feeling that the situation was not looking good. Chen Jiaxi had never been in such a hurry to remind him of something, "Okay, hang up first."

He reached for the laptop on the bedside table and turned it on to check the news. ShuShu was also watching beside him.

Something big had happened. There was a prominent headline on the news — "Wealthy Classes: The Return of Former Girlfriends. Where is Ling Qiao's Marriage?"

The two of them stared wide-eyed at the screen, only to see the two people in the photo snuggling together. Ling Qiao hugged the injured Tang Zeqing, looking very gentle and considerate.

Ling Qiao's first reaction was, "Wife, I was wrongly accused, gossip cannot be trusted."

Shu Shu didn't say anything either. She turned around and continued sleeping. The bed was extremely warm, and she wasn't willing to part with it.

Ling Qiao then opened a few other websites. Damn it, the first headline of the new year just landed on his head in such a gorgeous manner. They were all bragging about his marriage!

"Wife, I really don't know if I've been photographed or not. It's the new year, why isn't Doggie resting at all?" Damn it, it's anonymous. Okay, you guys can do it, but you don't want me to catch you yet, do you?

ShuShu kept her eyes closed as she stretched lazily, "Who asked you to hug me?" In fact, she didn't care at all. Whether it was being photographed out of negligence or being deliberately arranged by someone, it was clear that the purpose of this news was to strike at her and attack their marriage. She wouldn't argue with Ling Qiao because of this.

"Wife, it's not like you don't know that her feet are injured …" Ling Qiao hurriedly explained as she put down the laptop, crawled into bed and wrapped herself around his little delicate wife, "I am only doing my best to fulfill the morals of a friend."

Seeing him so anxious, Shu Shu tried her best to restrain her laughter, teasing him, "Go away, what are you arguing about after getting caught?"

He could understand that, after all, he had a past with Tang Shuqing and he was still in a state of confusion for quite a while. But now, he had already made the distinction clearly, his wife was his wife, so no matter how beautiful his ex-girlfriend was, she could only be a friend, how could she be more important than his wife?!

At the very least, he understood that what he missed was that beautiful first love, not just her. His true love was for Shu Shu, Shu Shu, who was the person he wanted to live with for the rest of his life.

"Wife, don't be angry, I've already discussed this with the PR department. We'll hold a press conference this year to explain the sequence of events, but I didn't expect you to feel pressured so I didn't tell you about it. Now that there's such a dog-blooded scandal, if it comes to it, I'll just explain myself more during the press conference. I guarantee that I don't have any selfish thoughts towards her, my heart's all on you."

Before this, Ling Qiao had never tried to explain these things to his. He had even laughed off gossip and gossip about it, but now, he was sticking to her, begging her to explain, so what could she care about?!

"Wife, Wife, I really don't have any selfish thoughts towards her. She's just a friend. Really, if you're still worried, I can promise you that I'll never see her again, okay?"

Shu Shu "Puchi." Smiling, she said, "Hahaha, how could I possibly not see him? When you go home, you will see him. How could the neighbors on the other side of the door never see him again?"

"Okay, you lied to me?" Ling Qiao was suddenly enlightened. In that case, wasn't his grandson's explanation just now just a joke?!

"Hahaha, hubby, I trust you. Now, other than you, who else can I trust?" Shu Shu said with a serious expression, "Also, Tang Beiqing really isn't a good person. Her scheming is very heavy. She provoked me quite a few times, so you have to believe me as well."

Ling Qiao sighed, "Yesterday, she said that he wanted me to take good care of you …" "Alright, alright, let's not talk about her. It's not worth it to let an outsider affect our relationship."

ShuShu also took a step back, "OK, got it." It looked like Ling Qiao must completely believe that Tang Congee was a scheming girl, but he wouldn't accept it even if he had such a short time. So he just had to take it slowly. It had been a long time, and the day would come when Ling Qiao would definitely be able to see her clearly.

On the first day of the new year, Shu Shu put on her new clothes. She wore a short red patent leather coat, black tights and a short lace skirt, and her figure was exceptionally outstanding. It was hard to tell that she was a married woman, but she looked more like a seventeen or eighteen year old girl.

Ling Qiao looked at her, unconsciously lost in thought. "Wife, when did you buy this set of clothes?" He definitely didn't buy it for her by himself. With his figure, he definitely didn't want her to wear clothes that attracted bees and butterflies to the television station.
