Stars In His Eyes

Chapter 1850: Sincerely Treating Each Other 63

"He Zhilan! Move your Little Tuanyuan away from me! It hurts my heart just looking at him!" Lin Deng shouted directly at He Zhilan to take Little Tuanyuan away.

Little Tuanyuan giggled and skipped away, took two steps, then suddenly turned back and smiled, "Uncle Lin Deng! My grandparents are here too!"

Lin Deng felt a kind of frustration like having three liters of blood he wanted to puke but didn’t know from where.

Lan Li watched Little Tuanyuan and did find him amusing. Little Tuanyuan’s personality was quite different from He Zhilan as a child, who was always like a little shadow; however, in many ways, they were quite alike.

Thinking of He Zhilan as a child, Lan Li naturally thought of Lan Lin, who pampered He Zhilan like a princess without any rules. If Lan Lin were still around, seeing He Zhilan’s son would surely bring him immense joy.

After the birthday party, Little Tuanyuan became noticeably more lively and active, more talkative, and seldom stayed home.

On weekends, if Little Tuanyuan wasn’t visiting his grandfather, uncle, and aunt, he’d be with his grandparents. Even when classes were held in the military district, he’d often go find his cousin after school. Lan Li was especially generous to Little Tuanyuan. Anything Little Tuanyuan took a fancy to, he no longer needed to go home and plead, because he had a particularly generous cousin, Lan Li. Since growing closer to Lan Li, the collection of cold weapons in Little Tuanyuan’s study had steadily increased, mostly acquired from Lan Li.

Little Tuanyuan’s life was growing brighter and more radiant, but Lin Deng’s life seemed to be increasingly unsatisfactory.

Since then, when he visited Ye Zi, it didn’t matter if Ye Zi didn’t see him; she even refused to take his notes. Lin Deng was very anxious, asked Chen Ning multiple times to take him to see Ye Zi, but after that, Ye Zi refused to meet even her friends like Chen Ning, so Lin Deng ended up not seeing Ye Zi, even while following Chen Ning.

A year passed, then two more months went by, and the time for Ye Zi to come out was drawing nearer.

In Chen Yun’s office, Lin Chan sat with his legs crossed, watching Chen Yun light a cigarette. He flung the pen in his hand, "I’m here, don’t smoke and stink me up with smoke smells, Dongxue will disdain it!"

"Tch!" Chen Yun gave Lin Chan a disdainful glance but put the cigarette away, "You only show off in front of us lonely people. If you’ve got the guts, go show off in front of He Teng and He Zhilan! Go show off in front of He Da and Chen Ning! Or better yet, go show off in front of Bian Xiulin and Xing Ye!"

"Why should I! It’s not just their kids; even their marriage certificates are enough to make me envious. I won’t do it; I prefer hanging around here with you!" Lin Chan withdrew his crossed legs, "Honestly, it’s not that I’m showing up uninvited today; didn’t you ask us all to come over? Are you treating us to dinner tonight? I heard a new seafood restaurant opened recently in the capital, seems to be quite good, should we book there for tonight?"

"Are you picking up the tab?" Chen Yun raised his brows, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been up to, upsetting Dongxue; she hasn’t been fond of you these days, your company has been idle, and you came here early with nowhere else to go."

"So what if I’ve been idle? You don’t even have someone who’d find you annoying." Lin Chan grinned proudly, and when He Teng and a few others came in, he didn’t hold back his smile. Instead, he adjusted his sitting position, making room for everyone to have a seat.
