Ji Qiongxin was chattering excitedly, but Yun Bixue was a little puzzled, as though something was out of her grasp.

Ever since she woke up, everything felt off and weird. Could it be that she was the problem?

“Bixue, if you have anything you want to eat, let’s go and eat it. You have to keep a happy mood. I’m really excited. I thought this year would be boring, but now with this, we can spend New Year together rowdily as a family. A millennia ago, the Xie family’s headquarters was in Country A as well…”

Ji Qiongxin was in a great mood as she rambled on, not giving Yun Bixue a chance to cut in at all.

Yun Bixue wanted to say something, but after uttering a single word, Ji Qiongxin’s chain of words would cover it all up.

Yun Bixue rubbed her head. She was anxious and curious, not truly understanding what Ji Qiongxin was trying to say.

Ji Qiongxin rambled on, but Yun Bixue only caught the main point—that they would be coming over to spend New Year with her and Xie Limo.

Hearing that news, she was elated. She was initially afraid that New Year’s would be too quiet. Now that father and mother would be coming over, it would be a joyous occasion.

“Bixue? Bixue…?” After Ji Qiongxin excitedly said all that she wanted to say, she realized that her daughter-in-law did not seem to have said anything.

“Mother, I’m listening! I’m really happy that the two of you can come over.”

“Good child. You don’t have to prepare for anything, lest you overtire yourself. I will prepare the things needed for New Year with your father. I’ve just sent down orders. They will bring it over once it’s time. I’ll bring anything you like or wish to eat.”

Yun Bixue felt all warm inside. Listening to her mother-in-law’s words, tears welled in her eyes. Familial love was rare for her, and she had never experienced the love of a mother. Yet, she could feel a mother’s love from Ji Qiongxin.

“Mum, I’m great. As long as you guys come over, it’s more than enough for me.”

“Silly child. It’s good that you’re happy. I’ve always reminded Limo to treat you well. Has he bullied you? If he did, we will teach him a lesson.”

Yun Bixue’s lips twitched upwards as she smiled. She stared and blinked at Xie Limo beside her. “Mum, he treats me really well. He’s just overly concerned about me. Help me tell him that.”

Although she said that, Yun Bixue’s expression was still that of a blissful one.

Hearing that, Ji Qiongxin couldn’t help but laugh. “Aiya, the two of you are still so sweet.”

Although it was through a phone call, Yun Bixue still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed. “Mum, you’re making fun of me.”

“I’m not, I’m not. I’m just happy that you’re doing well with Limo.”

Xie Limo looked at Yun Bixue’s blushing face and stroked her hair gently. This feeling of gentleness was so intoxicating.

His gaze couldn’t help but be filled with his charming allure.

The way Yun Bixue’s mood seemed to soar after talking to Ji Qiongxin was unlike that of a mother with her daughter-in-law, but rather a mother and her child or even that of best friends.

When she was about done, Yun Bixue quickly asked, “Mum, by the way, what is this good news that you’re talking about? Tell me about it so I can be happy as well.”

Hearing that statement from Yun Bixue, Ji Qiongxin was stunned and could not find words to answer her.

“Mum? Mum? Are you still there?”
