At six in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner at Commoner Residence began.

Nan Zhengde was exceptionally happy and insisted both children sit by his side.

After being mired in sickness for a while, Erbao was invigorated by the lively atmosphere and chatted non-stop.

Ning Ran didn't stop her, for all that mattered during the Lunar New Year was that she enjoyed herself.

“Come, let's have a toast to wish everyone a happy new year and a wonderful year ahead!” Nan Zhengde raised his glass.

“Happy new year, Grandpa. May you be in the best of health!”

“Happy new year, Grandma!”

When Erbao saw everyone had a season greeting each, she didn't want to feel left out and raised her glass of orange juice to join in. “I have something to wish everyone too!”

“All right then, let's give Erbao a chance to bless us with her words. Since she embodies happiness, her blessings will definitely bring us good tidings!” Feng Wan proposed.

“Yes, yes! However, Mommy can't scold me if I make a mistake.” Erbao stuck out her tongue.

“With me backing you up today, no one will dare say a word. So, go ahead now,” Feng Wan declared her support.

“It that case, I'll start with Great-grandma, erm...”

As Erbao held up her glass of fruit juice and began to rack her brains, everyone held their breath in anticipation of her performance.

“I have it. I wish—”

“You had better start with Great-grandpa first since he is the most senior member of the family. Or I might be accused of stealing his thunder,” Feng Wan joked.

“Okay,” the girl acknowledged.

After that, she turned toward Nan Zhengde, “Great-grandpa, may you be blessed with eternal happiness and a healthy life.”
