Tuantuan's first birthday banquet was on March 6th, a Saturday, a day when everyone was on holiday, so they held the banquet at noon.

Because it was early spring, the weather was quite warm at noon, so they held their wedding on the open lawn.

A long white dining table, gleaming silver cutlery, and the aroma of delicious food and wine.

It was more like a casual dinner than a birthday party, without the grand banquet at a hotel. The atmosphere was much more relaxed, and there was even a self-service barbecue area.

There were only twenty or thirty people invited, and cartoon balloons were placed all over the lawn, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

Li Yinuo, a ten-year-old boy, was playing with Xuanxuan and Tuantuan, while a five-year-old boy stood there silently watching, seemingly out of place.

Xu Tingchuan lowered his voice and said to Ni Sitian, "This is Liang Xiujie's son, Liang Yunle."

Ni Sitian thought the child looked like a little adult, practically a miniature version of Liang Xiujie, so small yet he had a kind of uprightness.

She looked up at Liang Xiujie and saw him talking to Gu Chen, looking particularly serious.

Cousin Ni Tianzhen arrived late, carrying a large bag and walking over somewhat hurriedly. She smiled apologetically at Ni Sitian and said, "I just went to meet a client and got stuck in traffic, so I'm sorry I'm late. This is a gift for Tuantuan."

Ni Tianzhen now works at a home-based jewelry design company, a result of her overseas studies. She has rekindled her dream of becoming a jewelry designer.

"Then I'll thank Auntie on behalf of Tuantuan." Ni Sitian accepted the gift with a smile without being polite, then took Ni Tianzhen's arm and led her to sit down, whispering to her which one was Liang Xiujie.

Ni Tianzhen had liked Li Shaoan since she was young and naive, and she had once bravely pursued him. But now that she was getting older, she was becoming more and more timid. This was her first blind date, and she felt a little strange. She glanced at Liang Xiujie, who was talking to Gu Chen not far away.

As if sensing the gaze, Liang Xiujie turned his eyes slightly and looked back.

Their eyes met, and Liang Xiujie, quite composed, politely nodded to her with a blank expression.

Ni Tianzhen nodded back and looked away. Apart from feeling a little embarrassed, she didn't feel anything else. She couldn't say she liked or disliked this man. He was quite good-looking and seemed to be a very meticulous person.

Ni Sitian didn't say anything more. Anyway, they had already introduced each other's conditions, so let things take their course.

Ni Sitian turned around and went to the barbecue area to get food. She saw Pei Yang and Xu Jiayue playing around there and couldn't help but smile. The two of them were really interesting, able to talk about love like high school students.

"Sister." Li Yiqing squeezed next to Ni Sitian with a troubled look on her face, the corn cob in her hand was already burnt.

"What's wrong?" Ni Sitian looked at her in confusion, finding it rare to see distress on Li Yiqing's face.

"How do I win over a man and make him devoted to me?" Li Yiqing said, sounding somewhat dejected. "Yinan has rejected my confession ninety-nine times. He always treats me like a little girl, even though I've already turned nineteen."

Ni Sitian smiled helplessly. Li Yiqing was really persistent in her feelings for Li Yinan, but she couldn't teach her anything. After all, they were siblings in name only. Even if they weren't officially registered as siblings, in the eyes of outsiders, they were siblings even in name.
