Long Hui coaxed Jiang Ying Yue to lift her head so that they were looking directly at each other's eyes. Then he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. She clutched onto him and surrendered herself to the kiss.

It was as if they never separated. The skin-to-skin contact instantly reignited the dormant fire of desire within them. Their bodies certainly remembered their hunger for each other.

"Mommi?" A child's voice interrupted them from their passionate haze.

As the mother, Jiang Ying Yue was very sensitive to her son's every sound and need. Even though it was difficult to do so, she pulled herself away from Long Hui and ended their kiss. Then she quickly went into mother mode.

"Hello, Little Jun. Sorry. Did we wake you up?" She walked over to him and carried the sleepy toddler.

Little Jun rubbed his eyes with his cute little fists. He squinted at Long Hui. "Dada?"

It took him longer to recover from the delicious kiss. But when he did, he also went into father mode. "Yes, Little Jun. It's me. Daddy's here. Come."

"Dada!" Little Jun stretched his little arms and struggled in his mother's arms to get to his father.

Long Hui chuckled as he took his son from Jiang Ying Yue. He repeatedly kissed the child's soft and chubby cheeks. He felt so happy today. It was the best New Year that he ever experienced in his life so far.

"Yay! Congrats, Big Brother Boss & Big Sis Yue!" Dom told them, clapping his hands excitedly.

Long Hui grinned. He looked joyful and smug at the same time. In his happiness, he had already forgotten about the ordeal he faced earlier during the Long family banquet when almost everyone was criticizing him for the press conference. He was so happy that he didn't notice the faint uneasiness in Jiang Ying Yue's eyes.

Iris, Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao also gave them their best wishes.

As a fellow woman and perhaps because they had grown closer, Iris sensed Jiang Ying Yue's unease. Although she didn't give a whit about the relationship between Long Hui and Jiang Ying Yue, she wanted what was best for her godson.

The two getting back together was definitely the ideal situation for Little Jun. That was why Iris was curious about why there was still some hesitation in Jiang Ying Yue, even though she gave Long Hui another chance for them to try again just now.

However curious she was, Iris refrained from prying. Jiang Ying Yue and Long Hui should solve their relationship problems on their own. If this was before, Iris would've already asked Jiang Ying Yue directly what was the matter, but she was in a relationship right now as well.

She personally didn't like other people interfering with her relationship with Jin Liwei. In the same way, she figured it would be disrespectful to pry or interfere with Jiang Ying Yue and Long Hui's relationship. The two should figure things out by themselves.

As long as Little Jun was happy and safe, Iris didn't care what happened to Jiang Ying Yue and Long Hui, whether they ended up staying together or separating once again. It was cold of Iris, yes, but the two were both adults.

Their problem wasn't her problem. But if the problem affected Little Jun in a negative way, then it would become her problem. Nobody should mess with her godson.

She was already feeling annoyed when Meimei told her earlier how the other members of the Long family were treating Long Hui during the banquet because they disapproved of him publicly claiming Little Jun as his son. She had no interest or whatsoever in the Long family at all. Maintaining good relations with Long Tengfei and Long Hui was already enough for her.

But if those Longs started giving trouble to her godson, she didn't mind reorganizing and even doing some purging in that family to make it more livable for Little Jun.

Hopefully, it wouldn't need to come to that point. As for Long Hui, even though he made that emotional declaration of giving up his heir position for Jiang Ying Yue and Little Jun, Iris wasn't sure if he really could do that. He was born and raised to be an heir. It was part of his identity. Could he really give it up without any regrets?

Even Iris was doubtful if he could stay strong enough to face all the pressure from the elders and the other members of the Long family. Only time would tell if he could stand by his words. She hoped that he would also be strong enough to protect Little Jun.

If not, then she would gladly step in. She would show no mercy to anyone foolish enough to hurt her godson. And she knew that Jin Liwei also felt the same way.

###

Both Lu Zihao and Long Hui planned to sleep over at the mansion because it was already very late. Lu Zihao had his own designated room in the mansion from before, so he just directly headed there. As for Long Hui, he attached himself to Jiang Ying Yue, intending to sleep with her in the same room.

Jiang Ying Yue felt awkward. She glanced at Iris and Jin Liwei, waiting for them to offer Long Hui a separate guest bedroom. However, both Iris and Jin Liwei pretended not to notice her.

Instead, Jin Liwei took Little Jun from Long Hui. The toddler was sleeping soundly once again. Long Hui didn't try to stop Jin Liwei from taking his son like usual. He actually felt grateful because he knew that his sister and her fiancé were helping him. They were giving him a chance to romance his lady for tonight, so of course he wasn't going to waste it!

"The bed in your room is not very big. Three people won't fit there comfortably, so Little Jun will be sleeping with me and Liwei in our room tonight. Our bed is many times bigger than yours," Iris gave them this lame excuse.

Jiang Ying Yue hurriedly tried to refute her. "Actually, I think we three can fit—"

Long Hui interrupted her by talking to Iris at the same time. "Oh, is that so? I see. We'll have to bother you then, little sister. Please take care of our son tonight. Come, Ying Yue. Don't worry about Little Jun. He's in safe hands with his godparents."

"I…"

"Goodnight and Happy New Year," Iris told them before leaving with her darling, godson and two cats.

"Ehehe. Goodnight!" Dom waggled his eyebrows at Long Hui and Jiang Ying Yue before scurrying to his own room as well.

Jiang Ying Yue's face was burning red when everyone else left, leaving only the two of them.

Long Hui nuzzled her ear before whispering, "Come, my sweet Ying Yue. It's time for bed."
