Xie Tiantian has changed her name from Xie to Leng, and she calls him dad all the time. People who aren’t familiar with them have no idea that the daughter Leng Hua dotes on isn’t actually his biological child.
"He’s gone traveling with grandpa and grandma," explained Mo Xiaoyu. "Isn’t it the holidays? So they took Tiantian and Quanquan out to have fun and won’t be back for a couple of days."
"Tiantian has grown into a fine young lady, becoming more and more beautiful."
Tang Yue was thinking about the last time she saw Leng Tiantian. Her facial features had matured, and she looked almost like Mo Xiaoyu’s twin—gentle, gorgeous, and full of charm, someone you liked at first sight.
"Your Chenchen is the good-looking one." Mo Xiaoyu recalled seeing Chenchen dressed as a little flower girl yesterday and said, "Yesterday, seeing Chenchen, she looked just like a little fairy—so beautiful."
"I’d be at ease if my Chenchen were half as sensible as Tiantian."
Tang Yue mused that when Chenchen was sensible, she was very sensible, but when she was mischievous, she could really be a handful.
Though she was clearly a gentle girl, following Meng Siyu around, she was almost becoming a tomboy, and her penchant for getting into fights made Tang Yue rather speechless.
"Haha~" Mo Xiaoyu, knowing Chenchen’s personality well, said, "Don’t worry; eventually, Chenchen will get some skills and won’t be bullied in the future. Tiantian is also learning."
Tang Yue: "..."
The time was nearing noon, so Tang Yue invited Mo Xiaoyu to have lunch together. During the meal, she asked about Yan Wei.
Mo Xiaoyu praised Yan Wei generously, saying, "She’s a hardworking and diligent girl. She keeps her place neat and tidy and takes good care of the furniture."
"So, is Zhang Qiang still not planning to marry her?" Mo Xiaoyu asked with a smile.
"That depends on him." Even as a sister, Tang Yue couldn’t interfere in someone else’s marriage.
"Honestly, if Zhang Qiang hadn’t introduced her, I would’ve wanted to introduce her to my Weidong. Girls as good as her are truly hard to find," Mo Xiaoyu lamented, having a very good impression of Yan Wei, who, apart from her unfortunate family background, was really an exemplary girl.
"Okay now, Sister Xiaoyu, do you think you still have any say over Weidong?" Tang Yue said, eating fish. She loved the boiled fish fillets here.
"Alright, I really don’t have much of a say." Mo Xiaoyu couldn’t help but sigh, thinking of her younger brother’s personality. "You see, it’s quite funny with those four—Jiajie is always around women with too many girlfriends, and my Weidong doesn’t have a single girlfriend, making me wonder if he even likes women. And then there’s Xiao Jun and Zhang Qiang. How come none of them have settled down?"
Mo Xiaoyu’s words made Tang Yue remember that the matters between Tang Jun and Yuan Yu remained unresolved and messy.
"Who knows, perhaps their time hasn’t come yet?" Tang Yue speculated.
They all say fate is predetermined by the heavens. Maybe these four simply haven’t met their match yet, and that’s why none have settled down.

The day after Lian Qingyang’s wedding, Granny Tang and Elder Mrs. Zhang started clamoring to go home. They’d been living here for almost a month, and although this place was great with a large, beautiful house,
there’s a saying: No place like home, even if your home is just a humble place.
Tang Zhenghong was reluctant to leave. She said, "Mom, we aren’t in a rush to go back, are we?"
Here, they enjoyed rich food and seafood every day, and the house was wonderful. She felt like she was living in paradise, like a rich lady, which was absolutely wonderful.
