Ye Xinghe was surprised that her second brother said what she wanted to say. She hid in front of Ye Xingchen and secretly smiled.

Xing Fei said matter-of-factly, "Is it necessary to use your hands to talk?"

Ye Xinghe stepped out from behind, and her words sounded so awkward!

She walked up to Xing Fei, stopped, and her eyes suddenly turned cold, like ice, making Xing Fei shudder.

"What do you mean by that? Explain yourself."

Xing Fei had never seen Ye Xinghe like this before. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. "It doesn't mean anything. I just think that men and women shouldn't be so close. Your actions with Ye Xingchen were too ambiguous."

"Please get this straight. He's my brother! My own brother! We have the same parents!" Ye Xinghe's smile grew even sweeter, but her voice carried an indescribable coldness. "Miss Xing, you're lucky. Today is my mother's birthday. I don't want to talk to you! Otherwise, I would have slapped you across the face after you said that."

After speaking, Ye Xinghe glanced at her from head to toe, her eyes filled with deep contempt.

Xing Fei was about to grab Ye Xingchen when he dodged her, muttering, "We almost lost this outfit."

Ye Xinghe linked arms with her second brother, speaking in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Xing Fei to hear, "A lot of aunties are surrounding Mom, wanting to introduce you to girlfriends! You'd better choose carefully. At least find someone who's mentally sound."

Watching the two siblings leave, a deep hatred surfaced in Xing Fei's eyes. She loved Ye Xingchen, had loved him since childhood. She didn't know when it started, but Ye Xingchen gradually distanced himself from her, no longer as close as he had been in their childhood. She also began to be jealous of every girl around Ye Xingchen, even his own sister.

The brother and sister had just escaped one wolf when they entered another.

The aunties who had been surrounding Mu Jinyue called Ye Xingchen back, forcing him to greet the elders. Ye Xinghe took the opportunity to slip away.

Aunt Chen, having just seen Ye Xingchen talking to her daughter, assumed there was something going on between them and asked:

"Stardust, when can we attend your wedding?"

Ye Xingchen looked at Aunt Chen and smiled politely, "When I got married."

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment. Just as Ye Xingchen was about to leave, another aunt asked, "So when are you getting married?"

Ye Xingchen gave an official smile, his attitude very sincere, "I will get married when I hold my wedding banquet."

The atmosphere became awkward again. Mu Jinyue casually made up an excuse to send Ye Xingchen away. She couldn't help but think to herself: This son probably won't find a girlfriend.

Just then, a tall, slender figure strode in from the doorway. With handsome features and a warm smile, Chu Mofan immediately attracted the attention of the aunties.

Ye Xinghe spotted him immediately, quickly returned to her mother's side, and called out with a smile, "Brother Mofan."

Looking at Ye Xinghe's bright and beautiful face, Chu Mofan felt a surge of joy. He stood in front of Mu Jinyue and handed her the gift he had prepared in advance, "Aunt Mu, happy birthday."

Mu Jinyue smiled and thanked her. She opened the dark blue velvet box, inside which was an exquisite moon brooch. The brooch was studded with yellow rhinestones and interspersed with several gold pearls of varying sizes.

Chu Mofan said softly, "I designed this myself and had it custom-made. Not only does it have the character 'moon' from your name, but these pearls are like stars accompanying the moon, as if your children are always with you. I hope you like it."

Mu Jinyue was very pleased with the gift and smiled broadly, saying, "Mo Fan, thank you so much."

"Mom, this silk fabric you're wearing today can't be worn with a brooch. Let me take it inside for you." Ye Xinghe, upon hearing that it was custom-made, didn't dare let her mother wear it at all, and quickly took it from her, then smiled gently, "Thank you, Brother Mofan."

Chu Mofan was very satisfied with Ye Xinghe today. He was secretly delighted, feeling that after today, his relationship with Ye Xinghe would definitely become much closer.

As they were talking, Zheng Juan walked over, arm in arm with Ye Xingyu.

Zheng Juan gently curled the corners of her lips, her eyes filled with laughter, "Mom, happy birthday. You look so beautiful today." She then took a paper bag from Ye Xingyu's hand, "This is a gift from Xingyu and me for you. Open it and see if you like it."

Mu Jinyue opened the bag, inside was a square, flat box. She carefully opened it, and inside was a string of South Sea gold beads.

Zheng Juan diligently put the hair on Mu Jinyue's head and then took out her phone to take a picture to show her.

The deep gold of the South Sea pearls contrasts sharply with the lotus root purple of the cheongsam, making the wearer appear dignified, elegant, and very noble.

Mu Jinyue gently hugged Zheng Juan and said with a sweet smile, "Thank you, Juanjuan. Mommy likes it very much."

The birthday party officially began at 3 p.m.

A corner of the courtyard was set up as a small stage, and photos of Mu Jinyue were playing on a loop on the screen.

Ye Minghan, holding Mu Jinyue's hand, stood on the stage, microphone in hand, and began, "Welcome everyone to my wife Mu Jinyue's birthday banquet today..."

After a brief introduction, he gestured for Ye Xinghe to bring up the gift.

Ye Xinghe walked onto the stage carrying an antique-style sandalwood box in both hands. Ye Minghan opened the lid, revealing a glass-type imperial green jadeite bracelet inside.

The bracelet was incredibly lustrous, a vibrant green, and of exceptionally fine texture, free of any impurities.

Some people have already started discussing whether this is the jade bracelet that sold for 7000 million yuan at the recent jewelry auction in Beijing!

Ye Minghan put the bracelet on Mu Jinyue's wrist, and the couple embraced each other affectionately for a long time amidst the cheers of the guests below the stage.

Standing to the side, Ye Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears at the sight. The love between her parents had transcended the mundane details of daily life and overcome numerous difficulties. A good love is not just about mutual affection, but also about restraint, tolerance, forbearance, trust, and steadfastness… and at this moment, all of these were perfectly embodied in them.

She secretly turned her back to wipe the corner of her eye, then gestured for Ye Xingchen to come up from below the stage.

"Mom, this is a gift that my second brother and I prepared for you."

Ye Xinghe took out a key tied with a gold ribbon bow.

“Mom, I remember when I was little I asked you what your dream was, and you said you wanted to open a flower shop. Today, my second brother and I helped you realize that dream.”

"My second brother bought the house. I did all the decoration and design with my allowance. Mom, you can go back to your youth and do what you want to do most now."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Mu Jinyue hugged her two children and whispered in their ears, "If Mom could go back to when she was young, the thing Mom would want to do most is to give birth to you."

After a heartwarming scene, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

As soon as Ye Xinghe stepped off the stage, Qiao Lin immediately followed and whispered in her ear, "Miss, Zheng Juan is missing."
