After Chi Zhenghong and his family of three left, Qin Yuji finally felt completely at ease.
Not wanting to sleep so early, Qin Yuji went to the liquor cabinet, found a bottle of wine, and poured two glasses. Handing one to Chi Jingxuan, he said, "Shall we stay up to see the new year in?"
During the New Year, many families have the tradition of staying up late. All the lights in the house are kept on to symbolize peace and good fortune in the coming year.
Yet, the Chi family didn't adhere to this custom. In previous years, they would all wash up and go to bed after setting off fireworks and firecrackers at midnight.
Seeing Qin Yuji's excited face, Chi Jingxuan nodded, "Alright."
The butler and servants had been sent to rest by Old Madam Chi just after midnight. Seeing Chi Jingxuan agree so readily, Qin Yuji made her way to the kitchen and brought back a few dishes.
