Around 10 o'clock, Xiang Zhilan finally entered her home, found her phone, and opened her call history.

She received a missed call from Ni Sitian, so she called her back.

"Miss Xiang, you're only replying to yesterday's call now? Can't you slow down your reaction time a little longer?" Ni Sitian teased.

"It's a long story," Xiang Zhilan sighed softly, and asked, "What brings you here?"

"Are you and Shen Muzhi free tonight? We're throwing a party and want everyone to have some fun." Ni Sitian stood up, opened the window, and felt the lake breeze blowing in her face, which was very comfortable.

“Okay, where?” Xiang Zhilan asked readily.

Ni Sitian gave Xiang Zhilan the address of the lakeside villa and, after they made the arrangements, she went downstairs to check on the preparation of the ingredients.

When the servants saw her enter the kitchen, they all turned around and respectfully greeted her as "Madam."

Ni Sitian was still a little uncomfortable. She was slow to warm up and probably found it hard to get used to being surrounded by people like this.

Actually, there was something she hadn't told Xu Tingchuan. Although this place was exactly like the castle of her dreams, after the initial novelty wore off in the first week, she still preferred the apartment, because it was their little home where only the two of them lived.

However, Xu Tingchuan had spent more than half a year creating such a dreamlike castle, and if she told him that, it would be too unfair to his hard work. So she tried her best to adapt to the place.

In the evening, Xu Tingchuan returned home from get off work and saw Ni Sitian looking busy and happy.

He loosened his tie, rolled up his sleeves, and went over to help.

"Why don't you have the servants do these?" Xu Tingchuan took the fork from her and set it out.

“Having the maid do everything makes me look useless.” She didn’t really like ordering people around; it always reminded her of how He Cuiyun and Ni Ziqi used to boss her around.

Xu Tingchuan raised his hand and affectionately pinched her cheek, "If you don't let them do it, they'll lose their jobs."

As the two were talking, Xu Jiayue's voice came through: "You two are really so sweet."

Ni Sitian blushed slightly, walked over, and saw three girls with Jia Yue.

“They’re all my good sisters.” Xu Jiayue put her arm around the three of them and introduced them to Ni Sitian: “This is Qingqing, Nana and Xiaoyu.”

Ni Sitian greeted them with a smile, invited them to come in and sit down, and asked the servants to serve tea.

"Is this the person you said you wanted to bring?" Ni Sitian asked, lowering her voice and getting closer to Xu Jiayue.

"yes."

"I thought you were going to bring your boyfriend." Ni Sitian misunderstood what she meant when she asked if she could bring someone.

"My boyfriend is probably still in his mother's womb," Xu Jiayue said with a helpless shrug.

Ni Sitian smiled. After the New Year, Jin Rulan had arranged many blind dates for Xu Jiayue, but she hadn't found anyone she liked yet. It seemed that people like her and Xu Tingchuan, who got married on the first meeting, were really strange.

"You mean this when you bring people here? Could Pei Yang have meant the same thing when he said he brought people here?" Ni Sitian suddenly remembered.

"I don't know, I didn't tell him." Xu Jiayue shook her head.

Ni Sitian had already seen two jeeps following Pei Yang's car, and then four people got out. Apart from Pei Yang, she didn't recognize the other three, but they all had extraordinary temperament and upright posture.

Xu Tingchuan walked over, looked at the three people behind Pei Yang, and said, "I couldn't even get all three of you together for Mu Zhi and my wedding. It's strange that you're all here today."
