Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Wedding (Part 1)
In the blink of an eye, it’s another spring.
The night before Valentine’s Day, Li Yufei held a singles party and invited many good friends to attend.
The singles party was held at her home.
A year ago, she purchased a new villa, which took a year to renovate. Originally, she thought of using the villa as a wedding house, but after asking Rong Ling, he said she was marrying him, so he would prepare the wedding house. Consequently, two months ago, Li Yufei moved to the new house with Xiaoyi and Junjun, and started decorating the place in advance.
At the singles party, besides Lin Qi and Guan Yue, Li Yufei invited several wealthy ladies and socialites she normally had fun with.
Since she wasn’t marrying for the first time, she didn’t plan to have any bridesmaids. After all, most of her good friends are either married or divorced, but a group of sisters is indispensable.
At night.
The sisters were playing around in the living room, had some champagne, drinking and singing, really having a good time.
Lin Qi couldn’t drink much, so she obediently sat to the side playing with Xiaoyi.
Besides Momo and Han, Guan Yue also brought Xixi along, and Lin Qi brought Zhouzhou and Yinyin.
The two little ones were not yet three years old this year but could already speak fluently.
Lin Qi’s favorite thing each day is to dress her daughter up beautifully. She loves buying all sorts of little dresses, and since both her parents have good genes, Yinyin looks great in anything she wears.
As for Zhouzhou, he looks just like a copy of Han. As his facial features open up, he looks more and more like his big brother.
Huo Tingdong would often tell Lin Qi with pride that his genes are strong as their son looks like him.
However, Lin Qi would often tease him, saying it’s fine that their son looks like him, but Yinyin is adorably like her.
Huo Tingdong often got jealous because of this.
The adults were talking about everything under the sun, while Yinyin showcased her singing talent. Li Yufei’s audio equipment at home is excellent, and the microphones are imported, costing hundreds of thousands a pair. Yinyin was holding onto the microphone, reluctant to let go, singing all the trendy songs like "Your Eyes Like Stars" and "Bloom Along the Way." She had mostly mastered the melodies, though she still couldn’t clearly express the lyrics!
Even though she’s so young, her singing had perfect pitch, and her sweet voice through the microphone was almost like a heavenly child’s voice.
Listening to her, Li Yufei couldn’t help asking Lin Qi, "Yinyin really has a talent for singing."
Lin Qi replied with relief, "Yes, she probably inherited this aspect from her dad. Her dad sings very well too. Although, curiously, even though they have the same dad, Han and Momo are completely tone-deaf."
Han and Momo, not far away, heard Lin Qi talking about them behind their backs. Momo didn’t show any reaction, but Han, with a little red face filled with grievance, pretended not to hear.
Li Yufei chuckled, "Have you thought about training Yinyin to be a singer?"
Lin Qi smiled, "Besides singing, she’s also very talented in other areas."
Li Yufei: "Really?"
Lin Qi said, "She picks up musical instruments very quickly too. Momo said Yinyin will definitely be smarter than him when she grows up!"
Li Yufei glanced over at Zhouzhou.
From beginning to end, Zhouzhou had been sitting quietly beside his sister, not speaking, not looking elsewhere, just constantly staring at Yinyin, growing more fond with each look and occasionally clapping along to the rhythm.
Han and Momo came over after playing for a while, and seeing Zhouzhou gazing dreamily, Han couldn’t help but wave his hand in front of him, only for Zhouzhou to impatiently push it away.
Han grumbled, "You’re with Yinyin every day, how are you not tired of looking at her?"
Zhouzhou elegantly rolled his eyes, "Because my sister is beautiful!"
Xixi suddenly popped her little head out from behind Han, "Zhouzhou, who’s prettier, me or Yinyin?"
Zhouzhou didn’t hesitate, "Of course, my sister is the prettiest!"
With a "snap,"
the kids seemed to hear the sound of a breaking heart.
Xixi pouted, "Zhouzhou, you really know how to talk!"
Han said, "Xixi, you know Zhouzhou likes Yinyin the best. Whenever someone holds Yinyin, he gets upset!"
Junjun raised his eyebrows, suddenly smirked mischievously, walked over to Yinyin, and hugged her close.
Yinyin, a bit surprised, like a little rabbit, turned around wide-eyed. Seeing it was Junjun, she smiled brightly and sweetly called, "Junjun!"
Junjun said, "Yinyin sings wonderfully."
Yinyin’s little face blushed; her ears turned red too. She picked up another microphone and handed it to him, "Junjun, sing with me!"
Seeing his sister being taken away by Junjun, Zhouzhou got a bit jealous and stood up, trotting over to Junjun, trying to claim back his sister.
But Junjun held Yinyin tightly, provocatively raising an eyebrow at Zhouzhou, "She’s mine."
Zhouzhou got even angrier, his little face flushed, his hands on his hips, "She’s my sister!"
Junjun said, "You want her? Come and get her!"
Then, he picked up Yinyin and walked upstairs.
Zhouzhou’s adorable little face fell suddenly, "Boohoo!!"
He opened his arms and stumbled after Junjun.
Momo, worried Zhouzhou might fall, went after them too.
Everyone laughed, "Zhouzhou is just too cute!"
"Seeing his sister being taken away, it makes him furious."
"He’s still little. When he grows up and his sister gets married, what would he do then?"
"In the Huo Family, there’s no one who doesn’t dote on the sister."
Lin Qi said, "Yes, in our family, Yinyin is the most pampered. Her brothers doted on her so much."
Li Yufei said, "That’s a good thing, after all, she’s their only sister; of course, they should pamper her."
Xixi complained, "I wish I had a cute sister like Yinyin too!"
So she could cuddle under the covers and whisper with her sister every day.
As an only child, it’s inevitable for Xixi to feel lonely, wishing for a brother, sister, or even a younger sibling.
However, her dad’s health has been deteriorating recently.
Though she knows Aunt Yufei bought a big company to develop medicine to treat her dad’s illness, no results have come out yet.
A year has passed, and her dad is now reliant on a wheelchair.
But Du Shaoheng remains optimistic, and Guan Yue’s mindset has improved significantly. She no longer dwells on sad thoughts. No matter what, she cherishes each moment she spends with him.
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Lin Qi went to open the door.
Through the peephole, she saw Huo Tingdong and Li Yanzhou standing outside.
She immediately opened the door: "Honey, why are you here?"
