His embrace was very warm, so warm that Bai Xue’s stiff hands and feet gradually became conscious.

No one had ever been willing to help her unconditionally. The Shi family was a rare warmth to her in this world.

The grievances she had suppressed for many years were vented with her spewing tears. When she was tired of crying, her rationality returned.

She realized belatedly that she was still being hugged tightly by Shi Mu. She hurriedly pushed his chest away and looked away uncomfortably. “Thank you, Brother Shi Mu, but I’ve already agreed to Miss Shi…”

“It’s okay. I’ll talk to Manman!” Shi Mu looked at her arm, which was still warm, in disappointment. He restrained himself and distanced himself from her. He scratched his head guiltily. “Then it’s settled. You can’t go back on your word.”

“Yes, I won’t go back on my word.” Bai Xue smiled and nodded. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked around uneasily. When she saw Su Tang, who was facing the wall in the corner, her face instantly turned red. “Tangtang, I’m sorry. I…”

Su Tang, whose face was red, immediately turned around and hurriedly waved her hand with a smile. “It’s okay. 1 suddenly realized that the paint on the wall had fallen off a little. 1 was just thinking of hanging a painting to block it. You guys go ahead. I’ll leave first!”

“Tangtang!”

Bai Xue lowered her head shyly. Under Shi Mu’s burning gaze, she slowly moved to Su Tang’s side and held her arm. “Let’s go back together. Don’t let Aunt Shen worry.”

“Alright.” Su Tang pursed her lips at Shi Mu helplessly.

This was Bai Xue who wanted to leave with her! Fourth Brother must not blame her!

Shi Mu did not move and stared at their backs.

Bai Xue felt her face burning. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned her head slightly and looked at Shi Mu apologetically. “You should go back with us. It’s the New Year today. You should still have a lot of things to do, right?”

“Okay!” Only then did a smile appear on Shi Mu’s face again. He followed behind Bai Xue happily.

In the living room, Shi Man and Yi Zheng had already returned from outside. The two of them had gone out to the base to visit Immaculate and the Blood Oath mercenary groups. It was almost lunchtime, so they rushed home and waited for a reunion meal with their families.

Seeing that the three of them had also returned, Butler Qi walked to Shen Xian and Shi Zhong with a smile and said, “Madam, Master, the food is ready.”

Shen Xian immediately called Mrs. Bai over and held her arm warmly. The two of them were so close that they did not look like they had just met, but like good friends who had been friends for many years.

Bai Xue was surprised to see the smile on her mother’s face.

In her memory, it had been a long time since she had seen her mother smile. However, she often saw her mother secretly cry alone in the night.

Every time this happened, she could only curl up helplessly under the blanket and force herself to sleep. Then, she would wake up the next day and continue to work hard to earn money as if nothing had happened.

Shi Man took the initiative to walk to her side, her eyes filled with admiration for her. “I heard from Auntie that she wants you to go to school. From your expression when you came back just now, you should have thought it through, right?”

“Yes.” Bai Xue nodded apologetically. “I’m sorry. I promised to work at your company.”

“What’s wrong with that? You can still come after you graduate!” Shi Man smiled casually. “But when you come again in the future, I believe it will definitely be a brand new you. At that time, you’re welcome to come to my company to demonstrate your abilities.”

“Okay!” Bai Xue smiled from the bottom of her heart. Her heart, which had been frozen for a long time, suddenly moved a little.

Maybe she could trust someone else again.

The New Year’s reunion meal passed happily with congratulations. Everyone in the Shi family prepared a New Year gift for each other. Shen Xian even gave Su Tang and Bai Xue an additional red packet each.

Originally, Shi Man also had a share, but she refused to accept it. Instead, she gave Su Tang a big red packet from her own pocket.

Shi Mu had prepared some exquisite ornaments. Unexpectedly, he even brought something for Yi Zheng.

However, when he was giving the gift, Shi Mu was still awkward and said in an unfriendly tone, “Don’t misunderstand. This is for Auntie Lu to play with at home. I just asked you to pass it to her for me.”

“Okay,” Yi Zheng agreed readily and prepared a gift for everyone. Only when it came to Shi Man did he keep her in suspense. He lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I’ll give it to you alone later.”

Su Tang’s gift was naturally the family photo she had personally drawn. Shen Xian couldn’t bear to part with it. She asked Butler Qi to hang it in the most eye-catching place in the house. She didn’t forget to hold Bai Xue’s hand and said meaningfully, “I hope we can take a family photo together.”

Bai Xue blushed at her words and lowered her head uncomfortably, but the corners of her lips could not help but curl up. “Auntie, 1 don’t understand what you’re talking about..”
