Mu Ruan came down when the sun was already high up. She sighed softly when she remembered how last night ended between she and her husband. They quarreled like a college couple, both weren't sober enough to make rational judgment. 

Then, a small smile appeared on her slightly wrinkled face. This was what new year felt like. Mu Ruan and Mu Zhi were both busy persons. So only on certain occasions would they unwind for real and forget everything else. For instance, today. 

Mu Ruan stepped into the kitchen and what she saw amazed her. Aunty Zhu, her loyal housekeeper and an old woman she most appreciated was there cooking and laughing. She could see that aunty Zhu was having a good time. Then her eyes turned to Li Yao who was standing by the table top, chopping something while sometimes nodding to aunty Zhu's chatter.
