Chapter 11 I don’t want what others don’t want
Wen Yueyin scoffed softly, "It's just a roasted chicken leg, is she so happy about it? Xingluo is such a short-sighted girl, she's never seen anything good. After eating someone else's roasted chicken leg, she rushes over to call me 'Fourth Brother'."
She smiled at Wen Rufeng again and took his arm affectionately: "My brothers often took me to eat roast chicken legs and other delicious food. I don't covet things given by others!"
Wen Rufeng's body was a little stiff.
The three brothers did often take Yueyin out to eat.
As for Wen Xingluo...
They had never taken her out to eat since she was a child.
But that was all her own fault. Who told her to be so ignorant and snatch things from Yue Yin?
That was their punishment for her.
Wen Yue saw that he was silent, so she couldn't help but ask softly, "What are you thinking about, big brother?"
"I'm thinking that Xingluo is a little different from before. She doesn't cling to us anymore."
In the past, Wen Xingluo always followed them around, wishing she could be their personal maid.
But he had been in Baihe Academy for so long, and except for occasionally running into her when he went to pick up Yue Yin, he had never seen her appear in front of him at other times.
Wen Yueyin thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps she wanted to attract Big Brother's attention in this way, so that Big Brother would be jealous of her. She must still care about Big Brother in her heart, otherwise why would she prepare a birthday gift for you so many days in advance?"
Thinking of the birthday message on Wen Xingluo's desk, Wen Rufeng couldn't help but feel at ease again.
He said seriously, "You're right. But this girl is too willful. She's actually learned such a low-brow and dirty trick! I'm in charge. Don't invite her to my birthday, lest she mess things up again!"
…
Wen Xingluo had no idea what Wen Rufeng was thinking, and she just quietly embroidered the words on the silk.
She sent the silk to the shop and asked the craftsman to make a carved inkstone screen out of rosewood.
On the day before the birthday banquet, Wen Xingluo was carrying the finished inkstone screen back from the shop. When he was passing through the downtown area, he was called by someone from the restaurant.
She raised her head.
Xie Shian leaned against the carved window, raised his glass towards her with a smile, "What are you standing there for? Come up!"
He was surrounded by several playboys, all of whom had escaped from Jinweizhai that day. In order to express their gratitude to Wen Xingluo, they had given her many gifts over the past few days.
Wen Xingluo thought about it, stepped into the restaurant, and planned to toast them with a glass of wine.
In the restaurant, Wen Rufeng was holding a birthday banquet in the private room opposite Xie Shian.
All the guests invited were close friends of the Wen brothers and sisters, and the dinner table was lively and bustling.
But for some reason, Wen Rufeng always felt a little absent-minded.
He glanced towards the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
"Brother," Wen Yueyin smiled and held out the brocade box, "This is my birthday gift to you."
Wen Rufeng opened it and found a brush inside the brocade box.
Wen Yueyin said in a sweet voice, "This is a brush I made myself. Do you like it, big brother?"
Wen Rufeng smiled and said, "It's rare to have such a kind thought, so I naturally like it. I will definitely use this brush you gave me to write the best article—"
He suddenly stopped.
In fact, Wen Xingluo had given him a brush before, which was also made by her.
How did he respond when he faced Wen Xingluo's expectant eyes?
Oh, he said this kind of thing was cheap and cheesy, and accused Wen Xingluo of having no heart at all.
Later, I don't know where he threw the brush away...
He always thought that he treated his two sisters equally, but it turned out that the way he treated Xingluo and Yueyin was so different?
He was lost in his memories when suddenly someone pushed open the door of the private room.
Wen Xingluo appeared outside the door holding Yanping.
The private room fell silent in an instant.
Wen Rufeng looked at her, and for some reason, his originally distracted heart suddenly calmed down.
Like something lost and found again.
Before he could speak, Wen Rulei spoke first, "Brother, didn't you say you didn't call her? Why did she come here on her own?"
Wen Ruyun was known for her venomous tongue. She smiled and said, "I thought she'd climbed up the ladder of the Zhenbei Palace and would really abandon us. Look, isn't she coming over here to show her affection again? I guess Fourth Young Master Xie must have rejected her. What a shame! I don't want what others don't want."
"Alright." Wen Rufeng waited for them to finish speaking before speaking coldly to Wen Xingluo, "Since you're here, sit down and have a drink, so you don't have to accuse us of favoring Yue Yin again."
Wen Xingluo was silent.
The stairs in the restaurant were staggered, and each private room looked the same in decoration from the outside. She must have taken the wrong path.
She said, "If I say I walked into the wrong private room, would you believe me?"
Wen Yueyin frowned, "Xingluo, when did you become so fond of lying? Big Brother has already given you a way out, are you still deliberately making trouble for me?"
Wen Ruyun swirled the wine in his glass and raised the corner of his lips in a wicked way. "You've brought gifts, and you still say you're not here for the birthday party. What? Do you really need us to be humble and coax you into submission before you behave? Wen Xingluo, why don't you look in the mirror and see if you're worthy enough?"
Wen Xingluo couldn't explain it to them.
She turned to leave, but Wen Rulei rushed forward and pushed her in.
She fell to the ground unexpectedly, holding Yanping tightly in her arms, and raised her head in anger: "What are you doing?!"
"Oh, you treasure this thing so much?" Wen Rulei raised an eyebrow and snatched Yanping away. "I want to see what gift you prepared for Big Brother!"
Wen Rulei unwrapped the brocade cloth wrapped around the outside, and an exquisite inkstone screen came into view.
The silk was embroidered with graceful birthday words in gold thread, and the rosewood screen frame was carved with a coiled gourd pattern. The entire inkstone screen was exquisite, luxurious, and elegant, and one could tell at a glance that it had been made with great care.
Wen Rufeng was a little surprised.
He stood up and took the inkstone screen: "Xingluo, is this your birthday gift to me?"
"I already told you it's not for you!" Wen Xingluo angrily denied, "Give it back to me!"
Wen Rulei grabbed her outstretched hand.
He said sternly, "Wen Xingluo, you brought a birthday gift to Big Brother's birthday party, and now you're saying it's not for him! There should be a limit to your mischief! We spoiled you too much in the past!"
He grabbed Wen Xingluo and dragged her out of the private room: "Since the things have been delivered, you can get out! I feel disgusted if you stay here, don't ruin Big Brother's birthday party again!"
"Let me go!" Wen Xingluo struggled hard, his wrist bones being pinched so hard that they hurt. "Give me back my things!"
Wen Rufeng sighed, "Xingluo, you are really outrageous. Who else can you celebrate your birthday for besides me? I accept the birthday gift. I hope you can change your temper in the future and learn more from Yueyin."
"Birthday gift?"
A rebellious voice suddenly came from outside.
Xie Shian appeared at the door of the private room with a group of playboys.
He stood lazily, impatiently tugging at the gold collar hanging around his neck, grinning, "Wen, aren't you afraid of shortening your life by holding this birthday message my eldest brother personally wrote to my grandmother?!"
