The gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky, making people's hearts tremble.

A rare look of astonishment appeared in Xiao Yizhuo's calm eyes. The sound of firecrackers was so loud that he even thought he was hallucinating.

Didn’t Wen Shutang just say that she likes him?

His silent heart began to beat wildly at this moment, his Adam's apple moved, and Xiao Yizhuo felt that the sound he made was completely different from usual.

"You are also special, completely different from others."

Looking at Xiao Yizhuo's stiff expression, Wen Shutang couldn't help but smile slightly. Why did this guy look a little stupid now?

But when he heard Xiao Yizhuo's words, Wen Shutang's heart inevitably trembled.

The sound of firecrackers continued to ring out. The two looked at each other but said nothing. It seemed that all the noisy sounds around them would not disturb them.

Wen Shutang looked at her figure reflected in those calm black eyes and didn't know how to describe her feelings. At this moment, an important person appeared in her life.

Xiao Yizhuo also looked at the woman in front of him, various scenes of his time with her flashed through his mind, and he unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, with tenderness in his eyes.

Wen Shutang leaned against the railing and looked up at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, slowly exhaling. She had to admit that she was a little nervous while waiting for Xiao Yizhuo's answer, after all, this was her first confession.

In fact, she didn't know why she spoke out what was in her mind just now. Perhaps it was because today was New Year's Eve and she was infected by the harmonious and happy atmosphere.

When the first firework exploded, her mind became hot and she said what was in her mind without thinking.

Now that I got the answer, my slightly anxious heart was immediately put at ease.

"Where I live, two people who are in a romantic relationship are called a couple, and we can be considered a couple now," Wen Shutang joked.

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhuo showed a faint smile on his face. It was the first time he heard this word.

"They are lovers and husband and wife."

Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and turned to look at Xiao Yizhuo: "We are not yet husband and wife. You are still in the observation stage. If you don't perform well during this period, I can consider changing you."

Xiao Yizhuo frowned immediately: "Change people? Who? The kid from the Song family?"

"It's not impossible." Wen Shutang shrugged.

Xiao Yizhuo took a step forward and stood in front of Wen Shutang, bending down to look at her at eye level, his voice hoarse: "Then I have to work harder and try not to be a stepmother."

Wen Shutang looked at his eyes filled with tenderness, and her heart seemed to skip a beat. The magnetic voice made her feel numb.

As a veteran in audio and face control, Wen Shutang naturally had no resistance to Xiao Yizhuo, and his cheeks felt inexplicably hot.

She hurriedly looked away, fearing that she would show some infatuated expression in front of Xiao Yizhuo.

"Yeah...yes, you have to work hard, like the three obediences and four virtues."

Xiao Yizhuo raised his eyebrows: "Three obediences and four virtues?"

Isn't this aimed at women?

Wen Shutang nodded and replied with his neck stiffened: "Yes, the new three obediences and four virtues, the daughter-in-law should follow the daughter-in-law when she goes out, obey the daughter-in-law's orders, blindly obey the daughter-in-law when she makes mistakes, wait for the daughter-in-law to put on makeup, spend money generously, endure the daughter-in-law's anger, and remember the daughter-in-law's birthday."

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhuo was stunned at first, with a hint of confusion clearly flashing in his eyes. After he reacted, he pursed his lips and smiled softly.

He was really amused, his shoulders shrugged. Wen Shutang's face became even hotter when she heard his low laughter. She had seen this new Three Obediences and Four Virtues when she was surfing the Internet. She wrote it down because she thought it was interesting, and now she said it out loud.

Xiao Yizhuo's face was full of warm smiles. She had so many wonderful ideas in her mind. He had never heard of the new Three Obediences and Four Virtues before.

But they all sounded very satisfying. Xiao Yizhuo looked down at Wen Shutang, his tone gentle and serious: "I've made note of that, ma'am."

Wen Shutang suddenly lowered her head and widened her eyes. Save my life! Xiao Yizhuo called her Madam with such a handsome face and such a sexy voice. She felt so hot that she was about to ascend to heaven.

Just when Wen Shutang was about to become a cooked shrimp, Xiao Ye's voice came from the side.

"Huh? What is Dad doing? Why is Mom's face so red?"

He was holding a candied haws in his left hand and a piece of candy in his right hand, standing not far away with his head tilted, looking at the two of them.

Hearing Xiao Ye's voice, Wen Shutang came to his senses all of a sudden, took a few steps back, leaned his back against the railing, and put some distance between himself and Xiao Yizhuo.

The movement was so large that Xiao Yizhuo subconsciously worried that she would fall into the river, so he frowned and reached out to hold her wrist.

"Be careful."

Xiao Wan followed Xiao Ye back to the bridge and happened to see this scene. She immediately smiled with joy.

"Mom and Dad, hold hands!"

Hearing this, Wen Shutang's face, which was already hot, turned red all of a sudden. He wanted to twist his wrist to break free from Xiao Yizhuo's hand, but he held it tightly and he couldn't break free at all.

When he looked up, he saw Xiao Yizhuo with a serious look on his face. He lowered his head and whispered in Wen Shutang's ear, "It should be normal for couples to hold hands."

As he spoke, he opened his hand and grasped Wen Shutang's palm, his slender fingertips tightly clasping the back of her hand.

Wen Shutang swallowed stiffly, looked down at his interlocked hands, and felt like he was about to faint.

Help! Who on earth said that Xiao Yizhuo is innocent? He is so good at it!

Seeing the two people's actions, Xiao Ze pursed his lips and smiled lightly without saying anything. It seems that the relationship between the two has made a lot of progress during this period of time.

Wen Yaoshi couldn't bear to watch the couple. They have been married for such a long time, why are they still so affectionate? To be honest, as a single dog, he is really envious.

He looked up at the still brilliant fireworks, feeling a little emotional. His elder brother and younger sister were already married and had partners, so was it really time for him to find someone to accompany him for the rest of his life?

Wen Ruizhou and Zhou Tong, who had gone to buy walnut cakes, also came back from the river. Wen Qing and Liu Sufen also strolled back to the bridge. When they saw the young couple holding hands, they all smiled at the same time.

Especially Liu Sufen, she couldn't stop smiling, and satisfaction was overflowing in her eyes. It seemed that she would be able to hold her grandson or granddaughter again.

The fireworks display ended quickly, and a strong pungent smell wafted through the streets. Debris from firecrackers was everywhere, and the people who had been watching the fireworks on the street were preparing to go home.

Wen Shutang and his companions also boarded the carriage back to Da'an Village. It was almost one o'clock in the morning when they arrived home.

Zhou Tong was heavy and was the first to be unable to bear it. She said hello to Wen Shutang and let Wen Ruizhou help her back to the room to rest.

After Wen Shutang accompanied Liu Sufen to clean up the yard, he took the children back to his home. On the way home, Xiao Wan's smile never stopped.

She knew that her parents' relationship was getting better and better.
