Lu Xi pushed open the door of the bathroom, and her skin instantly touched the slightly cooler air compared to the steam-filled bathroom. She quickly tightened the collar of her bathrobe and shivered as she took a deep breath, rubbing her feet on the mat at the door to wipe off the water.

It was already past midnight.

But everything felt like it had just begun.

In the distance, the sound of fireworks could be heard. Lu Xi looked out through the window and saw bright sparks bursting one after another in the pitch-black night sky.

Lu Xi felt quite emotional for a moment.

This was her first New Year in this world.

The only regret was that she hadn't had any contact with Wen Qingmo on such an important day.

It was a pity.

I wonder what will happen tonight.

Lu Xi had been busy all day today, chatting with many people she didn't even know, laughing until her face felt stiff. The New Year's Eve dinner was not as simple as she had imagined, with five people eating together, plus some relatives from the Wen family, totaling about ten people.

After enduring the meal, she could finally return to the Wen family villa and relax while watching the party.

She was already feeling a bit sleepy, but after taking a shower, she became more awake.

Wen Qiuhuan had already gone to bed in the bedroom. There were two bathrooms in the villa, and Wen's mother was taking a bath in the other one. Lu Xi walked to the living room, where Wen Qingmo and Wen's father were still sitting on the sofa.

"Uncle, Big Brother," Lu Xi raised her hand to tidy up her wet hair, "I'm going to bed first. Goodnight. I didn't turn off the hot water, so if you want to shower, go quickly."

Wen's father nodded at her, while Wen Qingmo stood up and said, "I'll go shower."

He passed by Lu Xi without any expression, and she could only smell the cold fragrance emanating from Wen Qingmo's body as he walked into the bedroom to get changed.

Lu Xi sighed inwardly and also went upstairs.

She entered the bedroom, closed the door behind her, climbed onto the bed, and took out her phone.

Many people sent her New Year's greetings, including Xia Weiwei and a few former roommates, including Shen Yu. Lu Xi replied to each of them and chatted with Xia Weiwei for a while.

Xia Xi, are you at the Wen family now?

Xia Weiwei asked her.

Lu Xi replied with a "yes".

Do they all know about you and Wen Zong?

Lu Xi: Not yet, but my older brother plans to tell them soon.

Last time when they went on a trip, she stayed in Tongcheng for three more days. Xia Weiwei keenly guessed that her relationship with Wen Qingmo was somewhat different. After actively inquiring, Lu Xi admitted it.

Xia Weiwei's shock about this matter was no less than finding out that Lu Xi had transformed into an alpha for the second time. She subtly asked Lu Xi if she considered Wen Qingmo as a substitute for Wen Qiuhuan. Lu Xi could only helplessly explain to her that she and Wen Qingmo were serious.

I'm nervous for you too. I wonder if Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen will agree. Both of you are alphas.

Lu Xi thought to herself that Xia Weiwei didn't need to worry about that. Wen Qingmo had long ceased to be an alpha.

Of course, this matter is currently a secret, and she couldn't possibly tell Xia Weiwei. She just replied, "Who cares, there's always a way when the time comes."

The two of them chatted intermittently for a while before bidding each other goodnight.

Lu Xi turned off the lights and lay in bed, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Rather, she inexplicably felt a bit excited.

The night was very quiet. She didn't close the door completely, leaving a crack. Lu Xi lay by the bed and could clearly hear the sounds outside, the opening and closing of the bathroom door, and occasionally the faint sound of footsteps.

There was a bathroom on each floor. The bathroom door on the second floor was pulled open, and Wen's mother walked out. Lu Xi heard her speaking, probably talking to Wen's father. Then the conversation stopped, and Wen's father entered the bathroom. After about half an hour, Wen's father came out again.

The second floor quickly became quiet.

Only the sound of flowing water could be faintly heard from the bathroom on the first floor.

Did Wen Qingmo take such a long time to shower?

What is he doing?

Lu Xi tossed and turned for a while, and the clock slowly pointed to a certain time. Finally, Wen Qingmo walked out of the bathroom.

He tidied up downstairs for a while before entering the bedroom and closing the door.

Lu Xi waited again, the entire villa was quiet, as if everyone had fallen asleep.

She took out her phone and found the chat page with Wen Qingmo. Just as she was about to send him a message, she heard a "ding" sound, and Wen Qingmo sent a message first.

"Xiao Xi, are you asleep?" Upon seeing this message, Lu Xi's mind suddenly heated up. She quickly typed "no" and sent it out.

The chat box at the top kept showing that the other person was typing.

Lu Xi patiently waited for a while.

"Do you want to come over?"

"I managed it myself."

The author has something to say: The update quantity has hit a new low. I'll send a red envelope to everyone for compensation (wiping sweat). I've been really busy lately.

Regarding the pregnancy period, I will definitely write about it, but we'll have to wait until Lu Lu starts working before letting Wen Zong get pregnant (lights cigarette). Otherwise, it's too early now, probably put it in the extra chapters, write a few chapters about it.
