The men were busy preparing lunch inside the house.
As the hostess, Wen Ran was conversing outdoors in the courtyard with Bai Xiaoxiao and Li Shi Yao.
The warm autumn sun shone down from the sky, filtering through the branches of the white magnolia tree in the yard, casting shadows on the white jade round table beneath.
The table full of snacks appeared dappled in light.
Golden sunlight hit the water glasses, sparkling like scattered gold flecks.
Li Shi Yao hadn't come empty-handed; she bought gifts for the three little birthday stars, Ziyi, Momo, and Xinxin. However, she had been sitting for over ten minutes and still hadn't seen her cousin come out.
Nor did she see her cousin's rival in love.
Instead, the sound of a car was heard outside the villa as Gu Kai and his father Gu Yan arrived together.
Upon entering the villa, Gu Kai narrowed his long eyes slightly when he saw Bai Yiyi sitting at the white jade table, then turned to look at Tongtong on the lawn.
