Chapter Fifty-Four: Love Party

  Everything returned to calmness. Some people didn't show up either. Until she had rested for a week, her elder brother said he wanted to have a party at home to celebrate Meng Er's recovery and the joy of sweeping away evil spirits.

  People who had briefly disappeared gathered together again, but some things were subtly changing...

  The curtains were drawn at nightfall, and it was evening. The first floor hall had been set up, this time not in pink but in a light blue dreamy color scheme. A lively piano tune danced lightly indoors.

  The fragrance of various fruit wines, the faint scent of flowers wafting into the courtyard, and the subtle aroma of delicious food floating in the air, intertwined to add warmth and coziness to a home that was once spacious but had few people.

  "Alright, alright, now please welcome our little princess!" Han Ye's hands clapped together, and after the first clap, he was stunned by the person who appeared upstairs. Coming to his senses, he added a second, belated clap.

  Yan stepped forward, reached out at the staircase entrance and took his princess's hand. Slipping into the center of the dance floor, they danced their first dance.

  "Hmm? How come you started without waiting for me?" Tianyu's voice echoed from the doorway.

  Meng'er's heart skipped a beat, her footsteps faltered, and she stepped on Yan Yi's shoes. Turning around, she saw the perfect couple standing at the entrance, basking in the attention of everyone, like royalty. Xing Tianyou seemed to feel that he had made an impact, and led his beauty into the crowd with Jiang Hai and others.

  The dazed dreamer felt the hand holding hers tighten, and the original gap between the two was reduced to zero by Yan's large hand. The warm body temperature came from the other person's body, and Meng'er naturally pushed it away, wanting to get a little further away.

  "What? Are you saying that just because your brother is here, you're going to push me away? Don't forget, you're my girlfriend now!" Yan's cold voice came from above.

  Meng'er's eyes widened in shock as she stared into Yan Yi's eyes, seeing dissatisfaction and coldness. What had she done wrong? "I..."

  "As soon as you saw him coming in, your footsteps became disordered, if your heart wasn't disordered, how could your actions be disordered?" To outsiders, it seemed like they were on intimate terms, but in reality, jealousy was flying back and forth.

  "I didn't, everyone was looking that way, and I naturally got distracted! You... are you jealous?" Meng'er's eyebrows rose, and she asked with a smile.

  "Hmph!" Yan let out a heavy breath and ignored Meng Er from then on.

  Meng'er stretched out her hand and covered his eyes, saying: "Don't be angry, don't look anywhere else, your eyes can only have me!" It was a very domineering and arrogant thing to say, but it came from her mouth.

  He pulled down her hand and put it in place, lowering his head: "My little girlfriend, don't you know that you've already become the center of attention for everyone here?"

  Meng'er took a glance around, originally just the two of them in the center, and with her recent movement, it's hard not to become the focus of the entire scene! She then looked at her several sisters, all of whom were looking at her with playful faces, except for maybe Zi Qi who seemed a bit distracted and was only smiling slightly.

  Meng'er glared at Yan Yi, then buried her head in his chest. She felt someone's chest cavity violently shaking, but not a single laugh escaped. "Laugh, you're choking me to death!"

  Then, a loud laugh echoed in the hall, like a thorn on her back. Meng'er knew without looking up that this time she had really attracted everyone's attention. In a hurry, not knowing how to express her shame and anger, she could only heavily step on Yan Yi's shoe face.

  This kick finally put everything back on track...

  "Ah You, Ah You..." The girl beside him pulled his sleeve, bringing his gaze back to the people around them.

  "What's wrong?" He asked the girl sitting next to him, who gave a glance at the opposite side. Jing Tianyou looked over and saw his two brothers teasingly staring at them.

  "What's wrong? This is Xiaotong, you're not unfamiliar with her!" Jing Tianyu gave them a white eye and then sipped the red wine in his cup.

  As soon as he entered the door, he saw her dancing with someone else in the middle of the venue. The first dance at her debutante ball was supposed to be with him, and if he hadn't shown up then, she would have danced it with the man now standing beside her instead.

  She asked him from now on to just treat her as the younger sister of his good friend. Only she didn't know that once a man's emotions have been invested, how could they be so easily taken back?

  However, since he came in, her gaze stayed on him for only a few dozen seconds, and after being confused, she leaned against the man opposite her.

  He couldn't help but admit that purple really suited her, just like a fairy. He didn't know what her boyfriend said to her, but she blushed and even her ears turned red. How much self-control did he need to restrain himself from rushing out and pulling her out of his arms?

  First, he had no position, and secondly, he couldn't ruin her party. So when he heard the man's laughter, he restrained himself from giving him a punch, and sat calmly here. He just quietly watched them spinning around in the hall.

  "Ha, Big Brother Qian Tian is here! And who's this sister next to you?" A dance move left Meng Er slightly panting, but she asked with great enthusiasm.

  "Xiao Tong, our university classmate and friend!" Jing Tianyou introduced simply.

  Meng'er took a glance at Canghai Jun and Han Ye, both of whom nodded slightly. Meng'er stretched out her hand: "Hello, Xiaotong sister!"

  "Meng'er is good, I've heard of the little princess from their mouths a long time ago, and now I finally have the chance to meet her in person!" Xiao Tong stood up straightforwardly, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Meng'er. "So this is your boyfriend? A perfect match between talent and beauty!"

  "Xiao Tong, let's go for a walk outside!" Jing Tianyu stood up, pulled Xiao Tong's hand that was still holding his, and turned to leave.

  "Sorry, Meng Er, let's talk later!" Xiao Tong replied as she walked away.

  Meng'er gave a smile and pulled Yan Yi down to sit beside her. "Brother, doesn't Xiao Tong sister like Qian Tian brother?"

  Cang Hai Jun nodded and smiled slightly. He wanted to see how his sister would react, but unexpectedly, she looked at Geng Yan with some sadness, leaving Cang Hai Jun somewhat perplexed.

  Meng'er turned her head back and saw her big brother frowning at her. She asked: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

  "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that our Meng Er has grown up, and the world is no longer just about Gege. It's a bit sad! What do you think, Han?" Cang Hai Jun looked to the side, but the position beside him was empty.

  "Meng'er could only help him out by saying: 'Just went out!' Then she saw Mei'er and Yan'er walking over, 'Where's Zi Qi?'"

  "She said go out and get some fresh air!" said Yan'er as she sat down.

  (Ziqi and Han Ye have both gone out...... Cough cough cough...... I finally wrote about them)
