Seeing how well-behaved Gu Jinxuan was, Ni Sitian handed Tuantuan to Jiayue and bent down to pick up Gu Jinxuan.
She had just picked her up when Tuantuan called out anxiously, "Mommy, Mommy..."
Seeing that he looked like he was about to cry, Xu Jiayue laughed and said, "This little guy is jealous because he sees you holding other children."
Ni Sitian had no choice but to hand Gu Jinxuan back to Gu Chen, then hugged Tuantuan and jokingly scolded, "Xu Ziyu, you can't be so domineering, you know? Don't learn bad habits from your dad."
"Who's been corrupted by me?" Xu Tingchuan's voice rang out, and then the door was pushed open again.
Ni Sitian walked over and shoved Tuantuan into Xu Tingchuan's arms, but Tuantuan struggled to get back into her mother's embrace.
Xu Tingchuan patted his little bottom and scolded, "Xu Ziyu, you're a boy, you can't be so clingy to your mother."
Ni Sitian was displeased upon hearing this. She took the child back from his arms and glared at him, saying, "Tuantuan is still young. Who says he can't be close to his mother?"
Xu Tingchuan sighed helplessly. She had just told Tuantuan not to be so domineering, but now she was spoiling him again. It seemed they needed to have a daughter soon; spoiling their son like this wouldn't do.
"Alright, everyone's here, please sit down." Pei Yang pulled out a chair and first pressed Xu Jiayue down to sit.
"Who said everyone's here?" Xu Tingchuan glanced at his watch and said, "They should be here soon too."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened again, and Xin Zikai and Su Yan came in hand in hand.
Ni Sitian looked up and saw Su Yan. Although there were still some small scars on her face, they didn't look so ferocious anymore. Perhaps it was because she was living a happy and content life now, giving people a sense of tranquility.
"Sister Su, come sit here." Xu Jiayue patted the chair and called to Su Yan.
Su Yan smiled and greeted everyone before leading Xin Zikai to sit down.
"Now the five of us are finally all together," Pei Yang said with a sigh. Time flies, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. It seems like just yesterday that they were playing cards to decide the order of the hands.
To be honest, Su Yan became the leader not because she was particularly good at playing cards, but because Shen Muzhi secretly helped her.
That's why Shen Muzhi was ranked last, while Xu Tingchuan deliberately let him win because he didn't want to be second.
Pei Yang was unlucky enough to end up in the second position, while Gu Chen remained as proper and conventional as ever in this matter.
Ni Sitian asked the waiter to add two more children's chairs, and then Bao Tuan Tuan and Xuan Xuan sat in them, so they could sit next to each other and have a playmate.
To Tuan Tuan's right are Ni Sitian and Xu Tingchuan, followed by Xin Zikai and Su Yan, Xu Jiayue and Pei Yang, and to Gu Jinxuan's left are Fu Wenuan and Gu Chen.
Because the table was large, couples sat far apart, but those in a pair sat very close together.
Shen Muzhi was the only one sitting alone, with Pei Yang and Gu Chen on either side of him, quite a distance apart, making him appear very lonely.
Ni Sitian was right across from him, and she could see the whole scene clearly.
Everyone else was in pairs, except for Shen Muzhi.
"Tuantuan, this belongs to Brother Xuan, you can't take it." Ni Sitian looked away and saw her son snatch the toy from Gu Jinxuan's hand.
"Little brother, play." Gu Jinxuan was exceptionally sensible and modest.
"Xuanxuan, you don't need to spoil your little brother like this. This is yours." Ni Sitian returned the item to little Xuanxuan.
