Thinking about the scolding she received not long ago, Shen Xuanqi started complaining, completely unaware that she had been led astray by Cui Xueling.
"Is that so... I'm sorry, Xuanxuan, I must have misunderstood. After all, Fei Yingdi has never publicly acknowledged his relationship with Jing Li."
Cui Xueling's tone on the phone was full of apology.
"Forget it, even though I got scolded for you, you're my good friend, I won't hold it against you. Oh, you're interrupting again. You still haven't told me who went to your house. I heard from Jingli that their identity seems to be quite impressive..."
The simple-minded Shen Xuanqi continued to steer the conversation back to the mysterious man.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Xuanxuan, my brother is calling me. I have to hang up now. I'll tell you another time."
Unexpectedly, Cui Xueling casually made up an excuse and hung up the phone.
"What... So mysterious! If you don't want to say, fine, but why come up with such a lame excuse..."
Shen Xuanqi muttered to herself, feeling a little wronged. It had always been like this. She treated Xue Ling as her best friend and told her everything, but Xue Ling never shared her secrets with her.
Are they... really best friends?
Feeling frustrated, she put away her phone, pouted, and rested her head on the stairs, watching the group of people happily making dumplings at the dining table.
She could hardly remember how many years it had been since her house had been this lively.
It seems... this isn't so bad?
Since it's the New Year, she decided not to argue with Jing Li so much. She was going to help out too, so that they wouldn't turn on her and accuse her of slacking off.
"I'll help too!"
With renewed spirits, Shen Xuanqi ran downstairs to join the dumpling-making team.
"Oh no, my skin is broken..."
"Are you planning to eat only the crust with so little filling?"
"Hahaha, that's a dumpling? That's a depth charge, isn't it..."
None of them were professionals, and the dumplings they made looked truly appalling. Everyone started to undermine each other, and in the end, it turned into a flour war.
Jing Yu, who was cooking a big meal inside, looked at the children playing around inside with a smile on her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.
The children have all grown up...
The whole house was filled with laughter and joy. It had been a long time since Jing Lifei and the four Shen siblings had felt so relaxed.
Their relationship seemed to grow even stronger as they spent more time together.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Jingyu went to sleep in the guest room, while the others sat on the TV watching the Spring Festival Gala.
"Fei, why didn't you participate in the Spring Festival Gala?"
Shen Xuanqi asked curiously, "Come to think of it, since the annulment of the engagement, Fei Mo seems to have gradually faded from the screen. He used to be on set all year round, but now he only makes one movie or TV series a year at most. He's almost semi-retired."
"Being with my girlfriend is more important than performing on the Spring Festival Gala. Although I was invited, I declined."
Fei Mo looked at Jing Li, raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"I wish our little koi could be on the Spring Festival Gala someday. That would be a great honor for our family."
Shen Yuanting sighed.
"I'll try my best... to perform on the Spring Festival Gala with my boyfriend next year."
With her eyes crinkled in a smile, Jing Li said.
"Hmph... Don't just talk the talk, or you'll embarrass Fei the Movie Emperor."
With a pout, Shen Xuanqi spoke in an awkward tone.
"You brat, can't you say something nice? I was just telling Little Koi to cheer me on, but it came out of your mouth all barbed and sarcastic."
Shen Yuanze flicked her on the head. This girl is stubborn but soft-hearted, straightforward and easily led astray. She'll suffer sooner or later.
