Shen Chi Yan made one phone call, and Feng Wan Hui was released.
She knew what to say and what not to say. When she returned home, she only told Mu Yu Xin that she was feeling restless and had gone out for a few days. Then she sat at the dinner table and ate heartily, completely ignoring Mu Yu Xin.
Mu Yu Xin was quite upset, but she figured it was good that the person was back and didn't bother to argue with her.
When Song Qi Nian received Mu Yu Xin's thank-you message, she had just finished showering and gotten into bed. Her mind was a mess, and she didn't know if what she had done was right.
"By the way, Nian Nian, there's one more thing I want to tell you. Isn't it Lin Qiu Tong's birthday tomorrow? Lin Lan Xing called me yesterday and said she wanted our shop to make the dessert for her sister's birthday banquet. I originally thought that since you and Lin Qiu Tong didn't get along, I would refuse, but she offered a very high price. Thinking that business is business, I accepted. Will you... be angry?"
Song Qi Nian was just thinking about how to let Mu Yu Xin know that she wasn't Feng Wan Hui's biological daughter, when Lin Lan Xing unexpectedly helped her.
"We opened the shop to make money, how could I be angry?"
"That's good then."
Song Qi Nian hesitated for a few seconds before asking Mu Yu Xin, "Yu Xin, if... I mean, if... if Feng Wan Hui isn't your biological mother, what would you do?"
Mu Yu Xin immediately sent a voice message.
"To be honest, ever since I can remember, I've been thinking about this question. I always thought that there couldn't possibly be a worse mother in this world than her. I wish I had a different mother, but there are no 'ifs' in this world, so I've given up. Instead of dwelling on my origins, I'd rather make good money and live a good future."
Seeing Mu Yu Xin's open-mindedness, Song Qi Nian felt relieved.
"Yu Xin, you are so good, so excellent, you deserve all the best in the world."
"Darling, I'm already very happy just having you."
Seeing that Song Qi Nian and Mu Yu Xin were happily chatting, Shen Chi Yan felt a little jealous. He pulled Song Qi Nian into his arms, kissed her fiercely, and said plaintively, "I'm unhappy."
Song Qi Nian looked at Shen Chi Yan with confusion.
"You pay more attention to Mu Yu Xin than to me."
Song Qi Nian couldn't help but chuckle, but thinking about what was going to happen tomorrow, she felt quite troubled. If Shen Chi Yan knew that she had done something behind his back, would he be angry?
The arrow was already on the string; she couldn't worry about it anymore.
So she turned around, hugged Shen Chi Yan, and kissed him, tilting her head up.
It was rare for Song Qi Nian to be proactive, so how could Fifth Master Shen miss such a good opportunity? They did all sorts of things in various positions.
Song Qi Nian, who had been suffering from insomnia, slept soundly until dawn.
The next day.
When Song Qi Nian woke up, she saw Shen Chi Yan already dressed. She sat up abruptly.
She gestured with her hands, "You're going to Lin Qiu Tong's birthday party?"
Seeing Song Qi Nian's suddenly cold expression, Fifth Master Shen felt a pang of guilt.
Lin Qiu Tong's birthday party wasn't just an invitation from Lin Qiu Tong; Lin Xing An had also called him specifically. He had planned to just show his face while Song Qi Nian was asleep and come back, but he didn't expect her to wake up so early.
"I..."
Before Shen Chi Yan could finish, Song Qi Nian continued to gesture, "I'm going too!"
Shen Chi Yan thought Song Qi Nian was jealous and immediately leaned in to hug and comfort her, "Darling, I'm only going out of respect for the Lin family. You..."
Song Qi Nian pushed Shen Chi Yan away, "You're overthinking it. I'm not worried about you and Lin Qiu Tong having anything, nor am I jealous. It's just that Lin Qiu Tong invited me to her birthday party, and I accepted."
Shen Chi Yan frowned, "You said Lin Qiu Tong invited you?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask her! Of course, if you don't want to go with me, we can go separately!"
At that moment, Fifth Master Shen's survival instinct surged. He leaned in, hugged Song Qi Nian, and kissed her. "Don't be silly, of course, we, as husband and wife, should go together. You get ready first, and I'll go bring you the breakfast I prepared."
As soon as Shen Chi Yan left the room, Song Qi Nian immediately took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhou Luo Te. To ensure Feng Wan Hui would attend the event, Song Qi Nian had been having Zhou Luo Te keep an eye on Feng Wan Hui.
Learning that Feng Wan Hui had left the house early in the morning, Song Qi Nian felt slightly relieved.
As soon as Shen Chi Yan left, he also called Gao Kun Lun.
"We're going to Lin Qiu Tong's birthday party today. Keep a close eye on Lin Qiu Tong and don't let her get close to Qi Qi."
"Yes."
Although Shen Chi Yan didn't know why Lin Qiu Tong insisted on inviting Song Qi Nian to her birthday party, it was always good to be prepared.
On the way to the banquet, Song Qi Nian looked out the window, lost in thought. Shen Chi Yan thought she was still angry about the morning's events and spent a long time coaxing her.
Her phone suddenly rang. Song Qi Nian took out her phone and saw it was a WeChat message from Mu Yu Xin.
"My goodness, Lin Qiu Tong's birthday banquet is too luxurious! A wealthy socialite is indeed different."
Immediately after, Mu Yu Xin sent several photos of the venue, which were extremely extravagant.
What Mu Yu Xin didn't know was that all of this originally belonged to her.
"Do you know? Even the chocolates here are imported. I'm quite puzzled. Why would they choose our shop's desserts? Are our desserts so delicious that they're comparable to imported goods?"
"Alas, it's the same birthday, but I, a commoner, am so miserable, still having to work! By the way, Nian Nian, are you coming today?"
Song Qi Nian replied, "Yes, I'll be there soon."
"Okay, then we can still meet. Ah, I have to go, someone is calling me..."
Song Qi Nian sent the WeChat message without hiding it from Shen Chi Yan. Seeing their chat history, Shen Chi Yan was surprised, "Mu Yu Xin's birthday is also today?"
Song Qi Nian's eyes flickered slightly, and then she nodded.
"That's great. After we leave Lin Qiu Tong's banquet, you can go celebrate your best friend's birthday."
Song Qi Nian took a deep breath, hoping that everyone would still be in the mood then!
Lin Qiu Tong was not only the young lady of the Lin Group but also a popular actress in the entertainment industry. Her birthday guests were all wealthy and influential, or prominent figures in various industries.
When Song Qi Nian and Shen Chi Yan arrived, many guests had already arrived at the hotel.
As soon as the two of them entered, many people came forward to greet them.
Since they had reconciled, Shen Chi Yan had been very high-profile, taking Song Qi Nian everywhere. Everyone knew he was married, and his wife was the woman he had loved for many years.
Listening to everyone's flattering words, Song Qi Nian seemed quite absent-minded. She searched the venue but couldn't find Mu Yu Xin.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted from not far away, drawing everyone's attention. Lin Lan Xing was seen dragging a woman by the arm and angrily coming to the center of the hall.
"I saw it all, and you still dare to deny it!"
