Chapter 438 - Who Said We Are Friends? (2)
Night came and their friends arrived one by one. Even Song Fengyan, who was feeling down these days had decided to show up to congratulate the newly wedded couple. He should be ecstatic that Feng Tianyi had finally found someone he could spend his lifetime with, but he just couldn't.
Somehow, his grief and despair was clouding his thoughts these days.
Feng Tianyi and He Lianchen occasionally glanced at each other, understanding their unspoken words about him. It was obvious that he wasn't himself recently as he had this glazed expression on his face. No doubt he was still thinking about Lan Xiyan, and the possibility that Lan Yunru was his daughter.
Song Fengyan allowed Little Star to sit on his l.a.p while she sipped her juice as they waited for Xu Wenyang and Lin Qianrou to arrive. He had been silent the entire time, but was attentive to the little buns, never ignoring them, unlike the silent treatment he was giving to others.
Because there were no other children except for the twins, they naturally attract everyone's attention, earning kisses from their aunts and gifts from their uncles. He Lianchen obviously arrived with his wife, Gu Yuyao and a little later, Li Yuanyi arrived alone.
He scowled the moment he saw his younger sister, lounging on the couch beside Gu Yuyao.
"Yo!" Li Meili waved a hand to her brother. "I didn't expect you to be here. Since when did you become friends with Feng Tianyi?" She asked him.
Li Yuanyi scoffed and took a seat on a vacant armchair next to the couch.
"Who said we're friends? He placed a huge order on our restaurant for this occasion under a short notice."
He should have known that the devil would not shy away from making outrageous requests. But since this was a special occasion, not only for Feng Tianyi, but also for Tang Moyu, he supposed that it wouldn't hurt to make business with the devil.
"What?" He questioned her sister. With the way she was looking at him, Li Yuanyi knew something was up.
"Hn? Feng Tianyi hasn't told you? They also invited Meng Yanran tonight since she was the one who designed Moyu's ring." Li Meili grinned at him.
Li Yuanyi repeatedly cursed Feng Tianyi in his heart. He was really the devil! Had he known Meng Yanran would be here, he would certainly not come here, even if Feng Tianyi threatened him.
However, it was already too late for him to sneak out as Tang Moyu welcomed Meng Yanran, who just arrived together with Xu Wenyang and Lin Qianrou. He watched as Tang Moyu's twins ran towards them, eagerly wanting to see the baby boy in Lin Qianrou's arms.
Thinking about it, had it already been almost six years since Tang Moyu left Shenzhen with his sister? She disappeared for five whole years only to come back nine months ago with a pair of little buns with her. And to think that Feng Tianyi married her? This was actually surprising for Li Yuanyi.
"Ah, everyone's here now. Too bad Lu Tianxin and Elaine couldn't come today." Tang Moyu said. Lu Tianxin couldn't come as she already had plans with her son and couldn't cancel it at the last minute.
"Should we move to the dining area now?" She asked her husband.
"We should." Feng Tianyi agreed as he checked the time.
Dinner had been served and the a.d.u.l.ts conversed on low voices while the little buns busied themselves as they ate heartily next to their Uncle Yan. He helped the twins by wiping their chins and faces clean whenever they made a mess as they ate.
Feng Tianyi and Tang Moyu could only look at each other and allowed Song Fengyan to do whatever he wanted, so long as he wouldn't harm himself.
Their little buns seemed to favor Song Fengyan's company over all the uncles they had. Perhaps it was because he was the first one they met and the man had spoiled them rotten to no end. In addition, Song Fengyan didn't seem to mind indulging his cousin's twins.
Throughout their dinner, the twins remained next to their Uncle Yan's side. When the a.d.u.l.ts made a toast and greeted their parents for the new milestone in their lives as husband and wife, the little buns joined the fun by raising their cups filled with fruit juice.
Halfway through dinner, Li Meili smiled behind her glasses as she looked at her older brother, who was clearly uncomfortable on his seat. She could only guess that it was because Meng Yanran was there.
"You aren't hungry? You barely touch your meal." She suddenly blurted out to Li Yuanyi, gaining everyone's attention.
Meng Yanran turned her head and looked at the Li siblings.
"Is the food not to your liking?" She asked Li Yuanyi, failing to notice how he stiffened on his seat. "I think all of it tastes good."
With her busy schedule at Xiao Xing, Meng Yanran barely had time for herself and had a good meal. She also just came back a week ago from Mengyin and had been spending more time with Lin Qianrou and her nephew recently.
Li Yuanyi only hummed in response, not daring to say anything, but his younger sister wouldn't easily let him off. How could Li Meili waste her chance to annoy him?
"Miss Meng, that's because my brother likes chicken." She said, instantly earning a glare from her brother. "Because he's a chicken himself."
"Oh?" Meng Yanran blinked at that, only then did she realize that there was no chicken dish included on their dinner.
Li Yuanyi was visibly fuming with anger at his sister and couldn't wait to throttle her neck himself. His fierce glare promised her a slow, painful torture once he got his hands on her.
