Before Shen Tianxing could respond, Dugu Zixi said from the side, "Mom, don't make it hard for Xiaoxing, she hasn't married into our family yet. If she doesn't return home for the New Year, it will definitely be hard to explain to Shen Dad."
Ye Ningning glared at her son and teased him with a smile, "Oh, look at you babying your future wife. You haven't even married her, and you're already so protective!"
Dugu Zixi said with an air of entitlement, "Of course I have to! If I don't cherish my wife, who will?"
The family was once again amused by Dugu Zixi's entitled and arrogantly adorable demeanor, laughing heartily together.
Shen Tianxing also gently pinched him and whispered with a laugh, "Shameless."
However, Dugu Zixi grabbed her hand, holding one hand firmly while playing with her jade-like delicate fingers with the other, appearing utterly captivated.
