When her daughter held up the phone in front of her, Jiang Yuying felt a bit puzzled. Her daughter repeated, "You guys went to eat something delicious last night and didn't take me."

Jiang Yuying indeed felt a bit guilty. However, when she glanced at the enlarged photo on the phone screen, she unconsciously looked over.

She was wearing the dress she wore yesterday, with Xie Li's coat draped over it. The angle of the photo only captured their backs, but due to their seating positions, you could see most of Jiang Yuying's profile and half of Xie Li's.

Jiang Yuying's expression was gentle as she held a napkin-wrapped skewer slightly lifted with a sign, bowing her head as if listening to Xie Li. Half of the man's face could still be seen with his mouth seemingly speaking, his eyes shining. Not only was he not wearing a coat, but he also rolled up his sleeves. Despite the cold weather, he didn't seem to mind.

Looking at the photo from this angle, Jiang Yuying knew that the girl at the next table took the picture yesterday.

It's... quite nice.

They were sitting by the roadside, closer to the light from the small lamp on the vendor's cart than the overhead streetlights. The warm yellow light shone down from above Jiang Yuying, casting a backlight on her. However, due to the side angle of her face, the soft contours of her face blurred by the light could still be seen. The light also fell perfectly on Xie Li's brows, eyes, and nose, making him shine even more brightly.

Just looking at this photo would make people feel that these two were definitely very affectionate.

Jiang Yuying took note of the hashtags below and then scolded Xie Siyun with a straight face, "Look at yourself, not even washed up, coming down with just your pajamas. Hurry up and go upstairs and tidy yourself up!"

Being scolded, Xie Siyun stuck out her tongue and obediently went upstairs to change. Seeing Xie Siyun upstairs, Jiang Yuying made an excuse to let the maid go to the kitchen and watch, then went to the living room on the first floor. After confirming that there was no one around, she took out her phone and, based on her memory, found the Weibo post.

Sure enough, it was the girl from the next table who posted it.

#NationalCouple# Oh my god, what kind of fairy-tale love is this? Mr. Xie seems to have stars in his eyes when looking at his wife, and his wife is really beautiful and elegant. She's listening so attentively to Mr. Xie. And this national couple's manners are really good; they cleaned up the table after eating yesterday before leaving. I'm really envious. I hope my boyfriend and I can be like this in the future. [Picture][Picture]

Jiang Yuying was quick to act. She saved the two photos and casually opened the comments on Weibo.

Unexpectedly, there were even employees from the Xie Group coming out to testify:

I testify that Mrs. and Mr. Xie were indeed wearing these outfits last night. It's hilarious; did they not eat enough at the New Year's party and went out for an extra meal? But their relationship is really good. Mrs. Xie is still working as Mr. Xie's secretary at headquarters, and I heard they're a young couple. The feeling of supporting each other all the way really makes people admire, but not sour. I wish Mr. Xie and his wife all the best, and also wish the blogger and her boyfriend all the best.

Under this comment, there were a lot of "99s" in the replies. Jiang Yuying even looked up what it meant. Knowing it meant longevity, she registered an account, used the default ID and default avatar, opened the reply button, and also wrote down "99," the two Arabic numerals.

Because of this incident, Jiang Yuying was in a good mood all day today. When discussing with the housekeeper about the items needed for the Lunar New Year, she wore a smile.

Actually, the items needed for the Lunar New Year had been prepared in advance, and today she was just checking for any omissions and making arrangements for the eve of the Lunar New Year. Besides Xie Li's branch, there were many relatives in the Xie family, including many uncles and aunts. The reunion dinner on the eve of the Lunar New Year was usually prepared by Xie Li's side.

There was no other way; he was the wealthiest, and he had inherited the most. With so many people and such complexity, Jiang Yuying would always have a headache every year about the reunion dinner on the eve of the Lunar New Year. But today, she was in a good mood, and even the most difficult things to deal with would be done happily.

After arranging the New Year's Eve dinner, when Jiang Yuying went to find Xie Li in the room, she saw Xie Li exercising in the gym on the first floor. She thought about it and changed into some workout clothes herself, then started jogging on the treadmill next to Xie Li.

Unlike Xie Li, who was panting beside her, she was just walking briskly. Jiang Yuying really didn't like running and jumping around. Usually, she could only do some yoga. This time, she just felt like exercising.

As she walked, she also talked to Xie Li about the reunion dinner on the eve of the Lunar New Year. After running for a while, Xie Li felt like Jiang Yuying was just here to cause trouble. He said a few words to her and almost ran out of breath. He had to slow down, and it turned into a walk, before he could chat with Jiang Yuying about the Lunar New Year's Eve dinner and ask for a list of names.

Xie Li basically relied on rote memorization to recognize people now. If he didn't ask for the list in advance, he would be exposed sooner or later. Jiang Yuying didn't say anything and just gave him a list.

In just two days, it was time for the Xie family's reunion dinner. Even Xie Junhe, the old master, came directly from the nursing home and sat together at the main table. Xie Siyun was sent to sit with her cousins.

At first, everyone was eating and drinking well. Xie Li, because of Xie Jun's presence, was the one responsible for communicating and socializing with the old man. He just sat there obediently eating his food. But suddenly, under the table, Jiang Yuying poked him in the waist.
