Chapter 257: Desire to Win

~8 min read 1,420 words

Han Yangting could not help but rub her head.

"Ruoruo, that is their business. If they truly love each other, they will end up together even after experiencing hardships. If they don't love each other, even a well-matched marriage will be a mess. Let them make their own choices, don't you think?"

Bai Shuruo could not help but smile: "I just love to worry needlessly."

Han Yangting touched her belly: "How about we take some time to think of a nickname for our second baby?"

"Sure, the older one is called Xiaofeng, so the second one can be called Xiaohuang."

"That's perfunctory," Han Yangting said.

"Then you tell me, what name would be good?"

Han Yangting thought for a moment, "How about Xiaohuang?"

"Isn't that the same?"

"Mine has the fire radical."

"Then you are also being perfunctory."

"Don't you think it sounds much more sophisticated?"

"I don't think so. This character is rarely used; when I go out and introduce them to others, I'll have to explain it."

"That's true, then let's think about it some more."

"..."

Before they could come up with a name, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.

Two weeks later.

Bai Shunan finally arrived at the Castle as well.

She had been saying she wanted to come for a long time, but it never worked out; either she was busy, or Bai Shuruo was busy.

This time, she finally made it, and Gu Yunting came along with her.

Bai Shuruo simply organized another gathering and called Ling Feng, Ni Xianglei, and the others over.

Anyway, there were nannies at home; she only had to call people and keep them company for a while, so she didn't need to worry about anything else.

That day, Mou Lili also came.

Since leaving the Manor last time, Mou Lili and Ling Feng had not seen each other. She went to work, and as for him, he did his own things; it was as if the two of them had no intersection again.

Mou Lili never took the initiative to contact Ling Feng. She knew the distance between herself and Ling Feng well, but if he contacted her, she would come out if she was free.

Before entering the Manor, Mou Lili asked: "Do you really want me to pretend to be your girlfriend?"

"Pretend, that way she will feel a little less guilty."

"You really like her, don't you," Mou Lili said: "Then, I definitely won't let you down; I'll try my best to act like it."

This party was held outside the Manor, where a sunshade canopy had been set up.

From far away, Mou Lili saw a tall girl, about 175cm, with an excellent figure, dressed very neatly, looking both elegant and noble.

The moment she saw her, Mou Lili knew why Ling Feng was so dejected.

This woman was worth it.

I'm afraid no one would say her looks were lacking; as long as she beckoned, all the men in the world would crowd around her.

Of course, except for someone like Han Yangting.

Because she saw that Han Yangting's gaze was always on Bai Shuruo.

"Ling Feng, you're here!" Bai Shunan greeted Ling Feng proactively when she saw him.

Seeing Mou Lili on the side, she hurriedly asked: "And this is?"

"My girlfriend," Ling Feng said.

Mou Lili took the initiative to hook her arm into Ling Feng's: "Hello, my name is Mou Lili, I am his new girlfriend."

"New?" Bai Shunan was stunned.

Mou Lili said: "He has a rich romantic history; the next time you see him, the person by his side might not be me."

Ling Feng glared at Mou Lili, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mou Lili pinched Ling Feng: "It's the truth, darling, where shall we sit?"

The area outside the Manor had been meticulously decorated; a sunshade canopy was set up on the lawn with round tables underneath, and a long table nearby was laid out with various foods, where Xiaofeng and Ni Xianglei's child were playing.

This scene had a very vacation-like feel and was also very casual.

After everyone introduced themselves to each other, Ling Feng glanced at Gu Yunting, and Gu Yunting nodded at him.

But Ling Feng proudly shifted his gaze away.

Once, Ling Feng thought Gu Yunting was a defeated opponent of his, yet in the end, he realized he was just a joke.

Bai Shunan introduced Gu Yunting to everyone: "This is my husband, Gu Yunting."

Bai Shuruo called out: "Hello, brother-in-law."

Han Yangting and Ni Xianglei followed suit with greetings.

Only Ling Feng said to Bai Shunan: "Isn't it said that a good horse doesn't eat grass behind it? President Bai, why are you so lacking in principles?"

Bai Shunan smiled awkwardly.

Gu Yunting did not hold it against Ling Feng; he knew Ling Feng liked Bai Shunan, and now that he was heartbroken, it wasn't right to kick him while he was down, not to mention this was Beishi, someone else's territory.

Mou Lili, however, tapped Ling Feng's table at this moment: "Darling, look at how jealous you are; have you forgotten me, your girlfriend?"

Ling Feng came back to his senses and looked at Mou Lili again.

However, without opening his mouth, he asked in a low voice: "Why are you being so fierce?"

"You're jealous of another man in front of your girlfriend, can I not be fierce? Are we still acting or not? If not, I'm leaving," Mou Lili mimicked his way of speaking.

Ling Feng had no choice but to say: "Fine, I'll listen to you."

Mou Lili speared a piece of cake and fed it to his mouth: "Ah."

"What are you doing?" Ling Feng asked.

"Feeding you cake, aren't couples all like this?"

Ling Feng had no choice but to open his mouth and pretend to eat the cake sweetly.

Mou Lili said again: "You feed me a piece now."

Ling Feng did not feed her cake; he scanned the area, saw a piece of pre-cut orange, and speared it, "Eat an orange."

"Mmm, so sour!" Mou Lili said.

"Is it sour? Let me try... It's not sour, it's very sweet."

The others looked at the two of them, feeling that they indeed looked very affectionate.

They were bickering lovers, after all, always playing and fighting.

Bai Shunan said to Bai Shuruo, who was by her side: "The two of them are quite a match, have you seen them before?"

Bai Shuruo said: "I have, Ling Feng brought Mou Lili here once before."

"Then she must be his girlfriend," Bai Shunan said.

After eating for a while, Bai Shunan suggested to Gu Yunting that they go fly kites.

In any case, this patch of grass was wide, and since the wind was strong now, the kites should be able to fly.

Bai Shuruo had someone go back into the house to bring out Xiaofeng's kites; there were five in total, in different colors and styles.

Bai Shunan took one shaped like Sun Wukong and went to fly it with Gu Yunting.

The two of them ran happily on the grass, just like children.

Ling Feng stared blankly at the figures of those two; they were truly a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Of course, it would be even better if the man were replaced by him; he considered himself much more handsome than Gu Yunting, and Gu Yunting was at least a centimeter shorter than him.

Mou Lili glanced at Ling Feng's expression and couldn't help but pick up a kite shaped like a little white rabbit, saying to Ling Feng: "Ling Feng, let's go fly kites too."

"Alright," Ling Feng said immediately.

Then, there were two pairs of people flying kites on the grass.

Mou Lili said: "Ling Feng, let the string out higher, you must make our kite fly higher than theirs."

"Alright!"

Ling Feng flew the kite higher, and the little white rabbit suddenly shot up very high.

Mou Lili clapped: "Well done, Ling Feng, hahaha."

Ling Feng also said proudly: "Am I amazing?"

"You are too amazing!"

Bai Shunan looked at Ling Feng and sensed something; she couldn't help but smile: "Yunting, let's put the kites away, I'm thirsty."

But Gu Yunting also had a strong desire to win, so he let his string out very long as well.

The two kites flew side by side.

Who knew, the wind suddenly stopped, the kites suddenly fell, and the two strings became tangled together.
