Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Pampering the Daughter-in-Law is a Must!_1

Before Shen Tianxing could respond, Dugu Zixi said from the side, "Mom, don’t make it hard for Xiaoxing, she hasn’t married into our family yet. If she doesn’t return home for the New Year, it will definitely be hard to explain to Shen Dad."

Ye Ningning glared at her son and teased him with a smile, "Oh, look at you babying your future wife. You haven’t even married her, and you’re already so protective!"

Dugu Zixi said with an air of entitlement, "Of course I have to! If I don’t cherish my wife, who will?"

The family was once again amused by Dugu Zixi’s entitled and arrogantly adorable demeanor, laughing heartily together.

Shen Tianxing also gently pinched him and whispered with a laugh, "Shameless."

However, Dugu Zixi grabbed her hand, holding one hand firmly while playing with her jade-like delicate fingers with the other, appearing utterly captivated.

When Shen Tianxing met the eyes filled with teasing smiles of the Dugu Family’s patriarch, matriarch, and her future father-in-law and mother-in-law, she couldn’t help but blush.

She tried to pull her hand away, but Dugu Zixi refused to let go.

Shen Tianxing gave him a helpless look and finally let him hold her hand tightly, continuing to knead and pinch, making her want to reach out and pinch his face as well.

In her heart, Shen Tianxing took note of this account, thinking that she would slowly recoup the debt and interest he owed her when they entered Lifespace later that night.

After having a warm dinner at the Dugu Family’s home, Shen Tianxing bid farewell to everyone and returned to Lifespace with Dugu Zixi.

Once back in the space, Shen Tianxing asked about how those three scumbags were dealt with.

When talking about those three scumbags, a hint of icy coldness flashed through Dugu Zixi’s handsome features, "These three scumbags targeted Aunt Wei because she looked quite attractive and didn’t have a man in the house, thinking a widow would be easy to bully. They went after her, encouraged by someone else..."

Upon hearing that someone was behind these scumbags, Shen Tianxing was shocked and asked seriously, "Who’s behind them, pushing them to harm people?"

Dugu Zixi replied, "It’s one of Aunt Wei’s old classmates, named Yao Pingping. Yao Pingping has always been jealous of Aunt Wei for being better-looking than her, and for marrying into the Ning Family and having a good life, while she had nothing."

"With a twisted heart, Yao Pingping always wished death upon Aunt Wei. She just happened to live in the same neighborhood and, learning of Aunt Wei’s downfall by chance, she instigated the neighborhood thugs to target Aunt Wei, leading to today’s incident."

Shen Tianxing then asked, "And what about this woman?"

Dugu Zixi snorted coldly, "Of course, she’s been caught too. Don’t worry, anyone who should be in jail won’t escape, and this will prevent these scumbags from causing more harm."

Reassured by his words, Shen Tianxing leaned forward to kiss his cheek, "Xixi, thank you for your hard work!"

But Dugu Zixi wasn’t satisfied with such a perfunctory kiss; he wrapped his arms around her and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

He was very measured, just a light kiss, and then he let her go.

Thinking of the business involving Nourishing Pills and luxury beauty products that the Dugu matriarch had mentioned before, Shen Tianxing then pulled Dugu Zixi to get busy with her.

Dugu Zixi was in charge of making the Nourishing Pills.

She was responsible for harvesting petals from the space to make products like petal essential oils, beauty creams, and facial masks, and so on.

The two of them were busy in the space, all the way until the morning of New Year’s Eve the next day.

Shen Tianxing, looking at the piles of Nourishing Pills and beauty products in the space, couldn’t help but hug Dugu Zixi happily and laugh, "Xixi, looking at these things, I feel like I’m seeing a heap of banknotes flying towards me. Our Xingxi Charity Foundation won’t have to worry about money anymore."

Dugu Zixi smiled at her and pinched her cheek gently, "Silly girl, how much money do you want? Your husband will earn it for you."

Shen Tianxing burst into giggles, teased by his words, "This is modern times, and you’re still talking about ’your husband’ this and ’your husband’ that. If someone heard us, they’d die laughing."

Dugu Zixi said with a serious face, "These words are meant only for you to hear!"

Shen Tianxing, seeing the deep affection in his eyes, blushed with shyness and chided playfully, "Dugu Zixi, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. I’m almost unable to resist."

Dugu Zixi chuckled softly, "Then don’t resist. Just surrender to your husband! Hahahaha..."

Shen Tianxing thumped him hard, "You big villain!"

The two of them frolicked in the space for a while. Shen Tianxing perked her ears and listened to the noises outside, then said to him, "My dad and mom are up. I should go out and help them prepare for the New Year. You should go out too, Little Xixi. We’ll see each other tonight!"

After speaking, Shen Tianxing gave him a cheek kiss, then flashed him an impishly witty big smile and suddenly vanished.

Dugu Zixi felt his arms suddenly empty and his heart as if it were hollow, sighed helplessly, and resignedly left the space.

This year, there was no New Year’s Eve; the twenty-ninth of this year became the last day of the year.

Li Xiuxia was making breakfast in the kitchen. When she saw Shen Tianxing coming downstairs, she asked with concern, "Xiaoxing, why did you get up so early? Why don’t you sleep a little longer?"

Shen Tianxing smiled and walked over to take Li Xiuxia’s hand, affectionately rubbing her head on her arm, and said with a smile, "Mom, I wanted to get up early to help you with frying meatballs and making rice cakes."

Knowing how tasty Shen Tianxing’s cooking was, Li Xiuxia didn’t demur at all and said with a smile, "That’s perfect, because the things you make taste much better than what I make. Today’s arduous task, I’m entrusting it to you, mom!"

Shen Tianxing playfully saluted her, "Roger that! Mission accepted!"

Li Xiuxia gave her a doting glance and laughed, "You child, how come you’re getting more mischievous as you grow up?"

Shen Tianxing looked at her with an innocent face, "Am I? I haven’t noticed!"

Li Xiuxia watched her daughter chatting while rolling up her sleeves and washing her hands to start working, her heart filled with warmth.

Her precious daughter, beautiful, sensible, and capable, was perfect in every way she looked at her. Every New Year’s Eve and the first day of the new year during the prayers to the gods, Li Xiuxia would thank the heavens with the most sincere attitude for sending Shen Tianxing to their family and for their current blissful life.

It wasn’t just Li Xiuxia who was thanking the heavens for having Shen Tianxing as her precious daughter.

Shen Tianxing, too, was grateful to the heavens in her heart for having so many loved ones who doted on her in this life, as well as for her master whom she loved deeply in her past and present life.

Shen Tianxing also hoped that every year in the future would be just like now, where her family could live happily, in peace and health, and with all things going well!
