On New Year's Eve, the whole family gathered together.
An Junxi sat inside the house, watching through the floor-to-ceiling windows as her husband set off fireworks with their two children outside. The fireworks burst into brilliant colors against the dark night sky, illuminating the night with a dazzling display.
The lights were on all night at the mansion, and the servants bustled around the yard hanging festive lanterns. Everyone's faces were beaming with cheerful smiles.
Ai Xi, like a little bunny, followed her dad around. When the fireworks exploded, she jumped into his arms, a little scared but very excited. "Daddy, look, it's so beautiful!"
"Yes, it's very beautiful," Gu Yikun said, holding his princess. "Do you like it?"
"I love it!"
Gu Jingxiu was allowed to set off a small type of firework. He felt especially proud, striking a cool pose for his mom inside the house, saying, "Mommy, watch my performance!"
