[Sheng Tian 15] My Uncle
When Fang Tiantian turned twenty-two, her family threw her a lavish birthday party.
The cascading light from the crystal chandelier illuminated the marble spiral staircase, making it appear as if it were made of ice.
The air was filled with the cool aroma of white truffles and champagne, intertwined with the tender scents of tuberose and iris.
Fang Tiantian wore a pink satin mini-dress, and around her neck was a heavy, exquisite white glass necklace, meticulously crafted by artisans and tightly wrapped around her neck. Her once slightly wavy long hair now flowed smoothly down to her chest, rippling gently with her movements.
The protagonist descends the stairs slowly, no longer the innocent girl she was at eighteen, whose joy and sorrow were readily apparent. Now, she is more like a white rose quietly blooming after the rain, with layers upon layers of petals, revealing a distinct elegance.
Her facial features have become increasingly soft and stable. When she is not smiling, she has a sense of independent detachment, but when she smiles, her eyes are full of emotion and have an indescribable sense of story.
"Happy birthday, Ms. Fang."
Happy birthday, Sweetie.
"Miss Fang is getting more and more beautiful. She should be graduating this year, right?"
Fang Tiantian smiled slightly and nodded only in response.
Fang Yue stood in the crowd and waved to her. Fang Tiantian walked over and greeted everyone in front of her. Then, while Fang Yue was chatting and laughing with others, she secretly slipped away.
When Yan Kui and Wei Yin appeared carrying little Wei Qi, the crowd quieted down and all eyes turned to the family of three.
Fang Tiantian was delighted to see that it was an acquaintance and rushed over.
"Sister Yan Kui, Brother Wei Yin, and adorable little Wei Qi!!"
Yan Kui presented Fang Tiantian with the prepared gift: "Happy birthday, Tiantian!"
Little Wei Qi was held in her father's arms, and in her childish voice, she imitated Yan Kui's tone: "Happy birthday, Sweetie!"
Yan Kui suddenly realized, "Huh? It seems like the generations are mixed up?"
Fang Tiantian was completely overwhelmed by the cuteness of this little dumpling and didn't notice any of these problems. She tentatively asked Yan Kui, "Sister Yan Kui, can I carry Xiao Wei Qi to play?"
Yan Kui looked at her son: "Baby, do you want to go?"
Seeing such a beautiful older sister, Xiao Wei Qi sat directly on Wei Yin's arm and stretched out his arms to Fang Tiantian: "Hug me~"
Fang Tiantian felt like her nose was about to bleed. She took Xiao Weiqi from Wei Yin and carried him toward the dessert table.
When Liang Chuying arrived, she saw her sisters holding a child and eating.
He placed the gift over and asked, "Whose child is this?"
After sitting down, she leaned closer to look and said, "He's so cute."
Fang Tiantian gave Xiao Weiqi a sweet kiss on the cheek and proudly said, "Sister Yan Kui's son."
Liang Chuying exclaimed in surprise, "The young master of the Wei family! Wow, Fang Tiantian!"
When Xiao Wei saw another older sister standing next to him, he turned around and asked, "Sister Tiantian, is she your friend?"
Fang Tiantian couldn't help but rub her cheek against his head again and again: "Yes, this is my best friend, you can call her Sister Chu Chu."
"Sister Chu Chu~"
Little Wei is only three years old. His angelic face and this cute and friendly nickname instantly won over Liang Chuying.
"Let me hug you, let me hug you for a moment!"
So Wei Qi moved from one fragrant embrace to another, wiped his hands clean, picked up a white macaron, and held it to Liang Chuying's lips: "Sister Chuchu, would you like some?"
Liang Chuying felt so dazed by the cuteness that she didn't care what she wanted to eat or not; now she wanted to eat everything.
Ah~
Two adults and a child sat at the dessert table for an hour or two.
Wei Yin and the others sat in the room chatting idly.
Whether it was unintentional or premeditated, Fang Yue asked Yan Kui after a long pause, "Is Yan Sheng doing well abroad? I haven't seen him for several years."
Everyone present understood the unspoken message. Lu Jingnan glanced at Fang Yue with amusement, shook his leg, and said nothing.
Yan Kui hasn't known much about her younger brother and Tian Tian's relationship in recent years, but everyone present is shrewd, so who wouldn't see the signs?
He countered with, "How's Sweetie doing lately? Is she still angry?"
Fang Yue shook his head helplessly: "I dare not mention it or ask. As people mature, their tempers also worsen, and they become more difficult to deal with."
"Has Yan Sheng been abroad for three years now?"
Lu Jingnan suddenly chimed in, "I have an uncle who is a visiting professor at the Foreign Affairs University. I've heard about your family's Yansheng family from him before."
"I heard that Yan Sheng is the only student in the last ten years or so to graduate with straight A's from that foreign school. My uncle drools over him when he talks about him, and he regrets not having talked to him in person back then. He really admires him."
Yan Kui felt a little proud when she heard others praising her younger brother.
Wei Yin lifted his eyelids and glanced at Fang Yue indifferently, then smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Sheng is the most outstanding boy among our families."
…………
Fang Tiantian and Liang Chuying led Wei Qi from the dessert table to their room.
Looking at the dreamlike room, little Wei Qi opened his big, round eyes and asked, "Sister Sweetie, are you a princess living in a palace?"
Liang Chuying chuckled, looking at the pink princess room: "Sweetie, didn't you say you wouldn't live in a room like this after you turned 18? Why haven't you started renovating it yet?"
Fang Tiantian blushed under the gaze of the two people, one big and one small, and explained, "I just haven't had time yet. I go to my parents' place every time I have a holiday. I'll have someone redo it in a few days and make this room a minimalist style. After all, I'm not a child anymore."
After saying that, she sweetly asked Wei Qi, "Isn't that right? Does our lovely little Wei Qi think what I said is correct?"
Wei Qi didn't understand what she meant, but nodded blankly and then sat down in the middle of a pile of dolls.
Seeing that he liked them, Fang Tiantian dragged out two more boxes of dolls from the dressing room.
"Little Wei, do you like it?"
Fang Tiantian hugged him tightly, squeezing his soft little hand: "If you like them, how about I give them all to you?"
Liang Chuying picked up a teddy bear that was bigger than a person from the sofa: "Xiao Wei Qi, how about I take this back and use it as your mattress?"
Wei Qi struggled to get off Fang Tiantian and then skipped and hopped toward the pile of plush toys in the corner.
She slowly picked up a small teddy bear wearing a Harvard hoodie and said with a grin, "Sister Sweetie, I have one at home too. My uncle gave it to me."
Liang Chuying asked instinctively, "Who is my uncle?"
“Uncle is uncle, Sister Chu Chu.”
Fang Tiantian's heart skipped a beat. Hearing Liang Chuying about to ask again, she lowered her eyes and said, "His uncle is Yan Sheng."
"A lavish feast?!"
