Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ever since Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy was revealed, the rumors of Wen Xinya’s position being threatened had been spreading in the circle, giving Wen Xinya a huge blow. During the events that she attended in the past few days, the public cast strange glances at her and looked at her with doubt, sympathy, and a whole lot of other emotions. Some even gloated over her misfortune.

However, everyone soon began to lose interest because of the Wen Family’s nonchalant att.i.tude towards it. Most importantly, it was because everyone was focused on preparing for the Lunar New Year.

Old Mr. Mo had cast his work aside to prepare for the Lunar New Year, whereas Wen Xinya had been frequenting the Mo Family home and helping her maternal grandfather with the purchase of festive goodies, in a bid to organize a lively and boisterous Lunar New Year celebration.

After Wen Xinya accompanied Old Mr. Mo for reunion dinner, he gave her a hefty red packet. She then accompanied Mother He to wrap some dumplings using different fillings. Of course, most of the dumplings were made using Old Mr. Mo’s favorite fennel filling.

She arrived back at the Wen Family home on the morning of the 29th of December.

After having the reunion dinner with Old Mr. Wen and receiving the red packet from him on the 30th, Wen Xinya headed to Lishan Mountain, beaming with joy.

Si Yiyan was in the midst of a discussion with Gu Yuehan. Upon sight of Wen Xinya, he immediately wrapped up and grabbed the bags of items in her hands, which he then carried into the kitchen.

“I bought some fresh chives and pork. Let’s make some dumplings later. You guys have to help too,” Wen Xinya said, after which she instructed Si Yiyan to mince the pork and make the filling while she washed the vegetables.

Gu Yuehan watched Si Yiyan, who was usually commanding, prestigious and n.o.ble, roll up his sleeves and chop some pork using a knife. He could not help but get a great shock.

“Wow, Ninth Young Master of Xiasi, you do look like you’re very proficient in mincing meat,” remarked Wen Xinya, who almost burst into laughter.

The pork was soon turned into minced meat.

Si Yiyan hurried over to help Wen Xinya wash the vegetables.

Wen Xinya suddenly reached a hand out to press it against the opening of the faucet, causing the water to splash all over Si Yiyan’s face.

“Hahaha…” Wen Xinya guffawed loudly in amus.e.m.e.nt.

“So mischievous of you!” Si Yiyan chided while wiping the water off his face with his sleeve.

After making all the necessary preparations, Wen Xinya stirred the minced meat and placed it inside a wok. She then stir-fried the meat and vegetables while ordering Si Yiyan around.

“Hand me the salt!”

Si Yiyan did as instructed.

“Pepper!”

After fumbling around for a while, Si Yiyan found a box of what seemed to be pepper and handed it to Wen Xinya.

Without even looking at it, Wen Xinya said, “This is chili powder, not pepper. The pepper is right beside it.”

Gu Yuehan stared in disbelief, unable to get used to seeing the prideful and proud Si Yiyan being at someone else’s beck and call.

By the time Si Yiyan found the pepper, Wen Xinya was already done stir-frying the filling. While smelling the fragrant aroma of the meat, Si Yiyan immediately grabbed a spoonful of it and tasted it. “It’s delicious.”

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “It’ll taste better in a dumpling.”

Due to the fact that the dough-skin-making process was tedious and lengthy, Wen Xinya decided to buy ready-made ones. She stuffed a dumpling skin into Si Yiyan’s hand and said, “Ninth Young Master, everyone has to take part in making dumplings and you’re no exception.”
