“Haha, there’s no need.” Lin Wanqin looked at her graceful daughter and smiled. “You will get married in the future. I can’t delay you.”
“You are right!” Ye Li chimed in, “Maybe you can’t wait to leave us and marry the one you love when the time comes.”
As for who she wanted to marry, everyone knew the answer.
“Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!” Ye Xiyuan pouted. “I’m not that kind of person! Anyway, I don’t want to get married, I want to stay by your side for a lifetime.”
“Please don’t.” Ye Li joked, “When the time comes, I’m afraid your future husband will be very anxious. However, even if you get married, you’ll still be our baby girl. Don’t forget your family after you get married.”
“I won’t!” Ye Xiyuan stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously.
“Regardless of whether I get married or not in the future, the people I love the most are you guys.”
Ye Li and Lin Wanqin burst into laughter, instantly lightening the atmosphere.
At this moment, Ye Xiyuan took the opportunity to say, “So, Dad, Mom, it’s my birthday today. Let my sister come and join us! Even if we were switched by Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui back then, it’s not my sister’s fault! She was also just a baby.”
“You!” Lin Wanqin reached out her hand and stroked Ye Xiyuan’s hair, smiling helplessly. “You’re too kind.”
“Mom, it’s good to be kind!” Ye Xiyuan gave a sweet smile. “Besides, I’m just telling the truth. What happened back then has nothing to do with her. We have too many misunderstandings, and we can take this opportunity to reconcile.”
“You call her sister, but she may not treat you as her sister.” Ye Li scoffed. “Besides, don’t say that she’s innocent. Didn’t Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui do that all for her? Since she had enjoyed a luxurious life for so many years, why shouldn’t she take responsibility?”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Lin Wanqin gave Ye Li a jab with her elbow. She shook her head gently and continued, “Since it’s Xiyuan’s birthday. let her make the decision on her own! As long as she likes it.’
After hearing Lin Wanqin’s words, Ye Li didn’t continue to say anything else, which meant that he agreed.
At this moment, the door of the hotel lounge was suddenly pushed open, and an extraordinarily handsome man walked in.
“Brother Nangong, why are you here?” When Ye Xiyuan saw who it was, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her face. She stood up and went forward to welcome him. “When did you arrive? Why didn’t you tell us ahead of time?”
Ye Li also quickly stood up. Different from Ye Xiyuan, he still felt extra cautious when facing Nangong Xuyao. “We should have come to greet you in person.”
Lin Wanqin stood beside Ye Li and didn’t feel relaxed either.
Compared to them, the Nangong family was a behemoth, an existence they could not surpass. If their daughter hadn’t saved Young Master Nangong by chance, they would never have had any interactions with the Nangong family. However, even so, Young Master Nangong was only amiable when facing their daughter. Though he would not give dirty looks to them, he still made them feel oppressive.
“I’m just an ordinary guest attending the dinner party today.”
While speaking, Nangong Xuyao looked at Ye Xiyuan and smiled. “Happy birthday!’
“Thank you, Brother Nangong.” Ye Xiyuan looked very happy, but she knew how to behave. “I’m very happy that you could come today.”
There was a soft light in Nangong Xuyao’s eyes as he looked at the cute and nice girl in front of him. He took out a box from his pocket, opened it, and handed it to Ye Xiyuan. “This is your birthday present. I hope you will like it. If you don’t, I’ll get someone to find you something better another day.”
After spending some time with her, he had a clear understanding of what kind of person this girl was. She was obedient, sensible, innocent, kind, and also magnanimous. Although she grew up in an ordinary small family, she moved and talked like a lady from a wealthy family..
