A short while later, the food was ready: pork belly, fried chicken, asparagus wrapped with bacon, baked lobster stuffed with cheese and garlic, sweet and sour fish in squirrel shape, plus two fresh vegetarian dishes, and a pot of pork rib soup.

Don’t be mislead by Meng Yuran’s lean figure. After cooking for two days, Lin Yiyi more or less had a good understanding of what type of food these two children liked. She could see that the teeneager was a pure carnivnore. He had already eaten two bowls of food, but his chopsticks hadn’t gone anywhere near the vegetables…

In contrast, it was easier to raise Meng Shanshan. She wasn’t picky about her food. As long as she had an appetite, she would eat whatever was on the table. The only exception was when a plate of food was too far from her and she couldn’t reach it with her chopsticks. However, whenever Lin Yiyi saw this happening, she would help Shanshan by adding the food directly onto her plate.

She had guessed correctly. Meng Yuran didn’t even notice the vegetarian dishes she had placed in front of him. Instead, he went straight for the pork belly, which she had placed the farthest away from him.

When he stuffed a slice of juicy, tender pork belly which had the perfect mix of fat and meat, it felt as if he was wrapped up in happiness. His eyes closed in enjoyment.

Seeing someone eating her food and enjoying it so much, it was hard for her describe how satisfied she felt.

Lin Yiyi ladled out two bowls of soup for them and put the bowls in front of them. She suddenly thought of something, “Oh, hey, Shanshan’s birthday is coming up soon, right?

Meng Shanshan’s birthday was at the end of April. She was the archetype of a Taurus. She cared about her appearance, it took a while for her thoughts and emotions to change, and her convictions were steadfast.

In comparison, Meng Yuran, who was a Scorpio, was much more reticent.

However, archetypal Scorpios were quite sensitive. It was said that they were better at gaining insight on other people and using this insight on human nature to their advantage. In the web novel, the villain’s exploits and schemes were written in detail.

Right now, he was only a young adult. He hadn’t even graduated from elementary school yet, so he naturally wasn’t capable of having any complex schemes.

But, perhaps, his later actions in the novel was because he had been adversely affected by his home life. He had gone from feeling disappointed at his parents to gradually feeling contempt. In the end, he even wanted revenge against his dad. It could be seen how cold his personality had become as an adult.

Hearing their mom’s question, the two siblings raised their heads in unison to look at her.

“It’s going to be next week.”

Lin Yiyi ruffled Shanshan’s hair. “Want mom to personally make you an ice cream cake for your birthday?”

Meng Shanshan was overwhelmed by the offer. She repeatedly nodded. “Okay.”

After agreeing, Meng Shanshan paused for a moment before carefully raising her head up and asking, “Can I invite my classmates?”

It was as if she was already sure that her mom would refuse. These words were said without the slightest confidence.

Her assumption was reasonable. Before Lin Yiyi’s recent change, these two siblings would have never believed that one day, their mom would change into a person that would actually care about celebrating their birthdays…

And, she was going to make the birthday cake herself!

“Sure, no problem.”

Lin Yiyi smiled and nodded. “We can make the invitations together later, and you can hand them out tomorrow when you go to the nursery. How’s that?”

The mother and daughter smiled at each other. The mood was harmonious. You could almost imagine pink bubbles floating in the air. Anyone that saw this scene would want to smile.

It should have been a beautiful and sweet scene. But, the teenager, who still had a calm expression, suddenly tightened his grip on his chopsticks.

Suddenly, for the very first time in his life, Meng Yuran felt jealous of his younger sister!

The author has something to say: These two brats have totally different personalities. They’re so fun. It makes me want to have a child of my own!
