Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Sister get-together party

"Bro, what kind of fairy tale life are you living?"

Wu Tongtong ran up to Xiao Fei after wandering around the villa.

"I just took some photos and sent them to my classmates—they’re all stunned."

"Bro, you’re not mad at me, are you?"

"Why would I be mad at you?"

Xiao Fei tapped Wu Tongtong’s head. "Speaking of which, your exams are coming up soon. Feeling confident?"

"Of course I am!"

"I’m not Xiao Jun, you know!"

Wu Tongtong puffed up with pride and let out a snort.

Off to the side, Xiao Jun looked a little embarrassed, but he didn’t seem as self-conscious as he used to.

His grades were the worst among the younger generation of the Xiao Family. Every time the topic came up in the past, his mood would drop, but now it didn’t affect him anymore.

The LOL Spring Season games had already begun, and his skills had improved dramatically. He was sure he’d make it onto the stage this year.

For now, he’d been assigned as a secret weapon, sitting on the bench while the coach planned to play him during critical moments to catch opponents off guard.

Xiao Jun was now brimming with confidence, convinced that the moment he got his chance, he’d soar to fame and leave his mark on the world.

"Feeling that confident?"

"So, which university are you planning to apply to?"

"I want to go to the same one as you—Jiaoda!"

Wu Tongtong chimed in cheerfully.

"Well, you better put in the effort. Jiaoda isn’t easy to get into."

"No problem! Last time in the mock exam, I ranked second in my grade!"

"Getting into Jiaoda won’t be an issue!"

This surprised Xiao Fei. Wu Tongtong attended the same high school as he did, and based on his understanding, being second in the grade meant she had a shot at Qingbei.

"With grades like yours, why not aim for Qingbei?"

"I want to follow in your footsteps, Bro!"

Wu Tongtong blushed a little, looking bashful.

"Well then... alright. If you really get into Jiaoda, I’ll give you a gift. You can choose whatever you want."

"For real?"

Wu Tongtong perked up instantly upon hearing about the gift.

At that moment, her aunt hurried over and pulled her aside.

"Xiao Fei, don’t go spoiling this girl. What’s all this talk about gifting things?"

"Mom...!!!"

Wu Tongtong whined in protest.

"Call me your ancestor and it still won’t work."

Aunt twisted Wu Tongtong’s ear playfully, lightly tugging at it.

Xiao Fei waved his hand with an easy smile. "It’s okay, Auntie. If my little sister really gets into Jiaoda, it’s only fair I give her a graduation gift."

"Well then... Brother, what about me?"

At that moment, Auntie’s second daughter, Wu Manman, blinked her big eyes and sidled up to him.

"I’ll be taking my exams in two years!"

"If I get into a good university, I want a gift too!"

"Alright, if you get into a good university, you’ll get a gift too."

"Oh, um... Bro... what if I win some championships..."

Xiao Jun asked hopefully, only for Xiao Fei to knock him lightly on the head.

"You brat, with your yearly contract money, isn’t there anything you can’t buy already?"

"Still dreaming about my stuff?"

"Huh...?"

Xiao Jun immediately looked crestfallen.

It wasn’t as though he cared about material things—it was more about receiving something from Xiao Fei. Inside, he saw it as a form of acknowledgment from an older brother he deeply admired.

Before they knew it, night had crept in.

Over at the Jinyu Huafu penthouse, Tang Yuxin, Wang Lu, and Zhang Tiantian were giggling and messing around.

Wang Lu and Zhang Tiantian intentionally tried to get Tang Yuxin to drink.

Of course, with her wedding set for the next day, they didn’t go overboard. They just wanted her to drink a little and sleep deeply enough that she wouldn’t be disturbed by any noises.

Tang Yuxin didn’t think much of it.

She ended up drinking quite a bit, and by the time the clock struck eleven, she couldn’t hold on any longer, heading to the master bedroom to sleep.

Without Xiao Fei by her side, Tang Yuxin felt strange and restless.

Several times, she instinctively reached out to hug him, only to find herself clutching empty air.

"Mm..."

Without warning, a pang of sadness washed over Tang Yuxin.

Husband wasn’t here.

Baby wasn’t here either.

Even though the bedroom was luxurious, it felt eerily quiet, save for the sound of her own breathing.

Tang Yuxin twisted around, grabbing a pillow to hug tightly.

After a moment, she threw the pillow aside with a pout.

Compared to her husband, hugging a pillow was nowhere near the same.

She regretted agreeing to those two troublemakers and going along with their antics.

She wondered what Xiao Fei was doing now...

Was he already asleep?

Tang Yuxin pulled out her phone, deliberated for a while, and sent Xiao Fei a WeChat message.

[Honey, are you asleep yet?]

Xiao Fei replied quickly.

[Not yet.]

Seeing this, Tang Yuxin immediately dialed his number.

[Hello?]

Hearing Xiao Fei’s voice over the phone, Tang Yuxin started to whine.

"Honey... I kind of want to come back and spend time with you."

[What’s wrong? Weren’t you hanging out with your friends?]

"They’ve all gone to bed now..."

"With you not here, I can’t fall asleep."

Tang Yuxin rolled around on the bed, finally wrapping the blanket tightly around herself.

It almost felt like Xiao Fei was hugging her.

[Want me to tell you a story then?]

"What do you think I am, a baby needing bedtime stories...?"

Tang Yuxin laughed despite herself, then suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled again.

"But you did say it, so I want to hear a story!"

[Alright...]

Xiao Fei’s low voice echoed through the receiver.

Though they were just simple fairy tales she’d heard countless times, Tang Yuxin listened with rapt attention. Not once did she feel bored—instead, she eagerly asked him silly questions to keep their conversation going.

She even imagined Xiao Fei sitting beside her, stroking her cheek as he murmured the fairy tales softly in her ear.

Just like that, as she pictured his deep eyes and charmingly thin lips, his voice in her ear soothed her thoughts.

Soon, Tang Yuxin’s breathing grew steady, her eyelids becoming heavier with each passing moment.

"...finally asleep, huh!!!!"

Outside her bedroom door, Zhang Tiantian was sitting on the floor, glaring at Wang Lu opposite her, looking completely exasperated.

"How is this girl so much trouble?"

Wang Lu shrugged helplessly.

"How would I know?"

"Anyway... the others should be getting here soon, right?"

"They’re on their way!"

Zhang Tiantian stood up reluctantly and went to open the door.

Soon, a large group of people quietly tiptoed in.

Among them were Tang Dingyuan, Mrs. Tang, a bunch of Tang Yuxin’s cousins, and Su Qingyan.

Everyone exchanged hushed introductions before starting their meticulous preparations.

All of it was to make sure that by the time the sun rose, Tang Yuxin would wake up to an unforgettable surprise!
