Chapter 892: Not Ready
Suddenly, she felt Shao Yunduan’s warm hand enveloping hers.
A rush of heat surged through her hand, causing her cheeks to flush instantly.
“Darling…” Shao Yunduan’s soft laughter filled the air, causing Qiao Xuan to startle. Instinctively, she withdrew her hand, mumbling, “It’s getting late.
Let’s just go to bed…”
She didn’t want to hear what he had to say next.
Whatever it was, she wasn’t ready to face it yet.
“Okay.” Shao Yunduan chuckled. “It is getting late, Let’s rest.”
Qiao Xuan felt a tinge of strangeness in his words. She hadn’t meant anything other than going to sleep, but his tone seemed to imply something more.
Her blush deepened, and she shot him a playful glare before turning away and leaving.
Shao Yunduan chuckled softly.
Qiao Xuan’s face grew even hotter. She hurriedly increased her pace, slamming the door shut behind her.
Shao Yunduan looked up at the dark sky, a contented smile on his lips, and made his way to the bedroom.
After all, she was his wife, and there was no need to rush.
On the first day of the New Year, joyous greetings filled the air as relatives paid their annual visits.
Nis. Fang had anticipated a large number of relatives visiting them this year, so she quickly prepared herself and her daughters-in-law for the occasion.
She also gave instructions to her sons and daughters-in-law on how to handle themselves.
The most important rule was not to make any promises or misuse their power in a way that would tarnish Shao Yunduan’s reputation.
On the second day of the New Year, Ms. Fang, as the mother-in-law, allowed her daughters-in-law to visit their respective homes, but she herself did not return to her own home.
Qiao Xuan, not bound by tradition, chose to stay at home instead.
Only Ms. Xu, Shao Dalang, and their three children went back to Ms. Xu!s home for a visit.
From the third day of the New Year onward, various relatives and friends began to visit their household.
Nis. Fang warmly welcomed them together with her daughters-in-law.
Some visitors flattered her with gifts, and she would assist those genuinely in need of help due to poverty. However, she made sure to write an IOU note whenever money was lent out.
There were also those who inquired about their properties, a topic that disgusted Ms. Fang, who attempted to divert their attention elsewhere.
Some individuals, driven by greed, attempted to engage in business deals with Ms. Fang, but she firmly declined their offers.
Most people understood when their persuasion was ineffective and stopped pushing further.
However, there were a few audacious ones who resorted to threats against Ms. Fang. Unfazed by their intimidation, she stood her ground and even retorted on occasion.
Their actions had offended certain individuals, who took the opportunity to spread complaints about their family. They accused Ms. Fang and her family of neglecting their relatives now that they had wealth. Ms. Fang chose to disregard these baseless accusations.
Nevertheless, they couldn’t sacrifice their own familys well-being just to please distant relatives.
On the fifth day of the New Year, Madame Qiao sent someone to fetch Qiao Xuan, informing her of an important guest at their home and requesting her presence to receive them for a few days..
