Chapter 889   - Specials: Devil No More (1)

Timeline: Feng Yuan's third birthday.

It had been years since Feng Tianyi had been in the large villa in France where he stayed to recuperate after the accident. To think that he would return to this place with his wife and three children was something he never thought could happen in the past. He came back not only with his whole family, but his friends had come to join them to celebrate the third birthday of his and Tang Moyu's youngest child.

Before he left this place to come back to Shenzhen with his mother, Feng Tianyi had already given up being happy and content with his life. The mere thought of being able to stand back on his feet and walk on his own, sounded so far-fetched, in his opinion.

Even the thought of having a family sounded impossible for the past version of himself. If someone had told him in the past that he would come to Shenzhen to meet his children and marry his half-brother's fiancée, he probably would have laughed at their faces for thinking of such absurdity.

He could hear the laughter of his children and nieces outside the villa being accompanied by his in-laws and friends. His daughter's familiar laughter reached his ears, and wondered if Tang Moyu laughed the same way as Little Star when she was younger.

The memories he had with Tang Moyu when they were younger weren't clear in his mind as he could only remember the gist of the little girl's pouting face as she demanded him to feed her because she was hungry.

Thinking about it, Feng Tianyi realized that his interest in cooking might have started because of his need to find the little empress back then.

As he brought the tray with grilled meat and sauces to the backyard, he found his children playing with Tang Leyan and Tang Xiaoyue. It was their first time coming here to France for a vacation with their parents, and they were a little upset that they weren't allowed to swim at the beach near the villa.

"Oh, they stopped convincing you and Jiren to bring them to the beach?" Feng Tianyi asked Song Fengyan who was in charge of the grill while He Lianchen was seated on a bench next to Gu Yuyao, holding their son's hand.

"The waves are quite high. Jiren and I didn't want to take the gamble and bring the children there. We can go there some other time," Song Fengyan replied before turning to call He Lianchen's attention.

"Hey, you better come here and help me! Didn't you keep on complaining about how I overcooked the meat?"

He Lianchen lifted his head and sighed. He passed his son to his wife and walked towards the two.

"Give me that and let me teach you how to grill it properly." He snatched the plate from Song Fengyan's hand and put the meat on top of the hot grill.

"Where's Sister Moyu? She hasn't arrived yet?" Song Fengyan asked Feng Tianyi.

"She just called to say that her meeting has just finished, and she was able to close the deal with our European partners. She should be joining us soon."

It was one of the reasons why they all came here, aside from the birthday celebration of their youngest. Xiao Xing had just entered the international market and was to meet their prospective business partners here in France.

"You should have come with her. Doesn't she need your help?" He Lianchen asked.

"Moyu said she could manage on her own. Also, Mom decided to accompany her so I don't think she would fail closing the deal." Feng Tianyi shrugged.

At the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Jiren and Li Meili placed a blanket on the ground beneath a large tree to protect them from the intense sunlight. Their two daughters were fighting to get their father's attention as Zhang Jiren fed his wife with the meat he grilled himself earlier for his small family.

"Hey! Daddy grilled that meat for me. Why are you trying to snatch it?" Li Meili playfully teased her daughters, wrapping her arms around her husband's torso. "Also, go and play. Daddy is mine today!"

"Nooooo!!! Mommy, let me hug Daddy too!" Tang Xiaoyue complained and tried to hug Zhang Jiren but her mother pulled him away.

"Mommy shouldn't be greedy!" Tang Leyan huffed and crossed her arms over her c.h.e.s.t. "Why can't we hug Daddy? He's our daddy too!"

Why was their Mommy trying to monopolize their daddy's attention anyway? It was as if she didn't want to share him with her and Xiaoyue!

Zhang Jiren sighed, but didn't push his wife away. Li Meili seemed to love teasing their daughters, wanting to see them cry.

"Meili, stop teasing the kids. If they cry, it would be your fault, not mine. So don't blame me later," he reminded her. He could already see what would happen next, and he had no doubt that Li Meili would blame him again for this, asking him to placate their crying daughters, when in fact she was the one who made them cry, not him.

Following Feng Tianyi's gaze, Song Fengyan laughed at the scene they were witnessing. Li Meili was playfully pushing her daughter's arms away from Zhang Jiren as the three of them tried to engulf him into a group hug.

"Jiren is quite popular with the girls, I see. Three girls vying for his undivided attention," he commented, bursting into a round of laughter.

He Lianchen snorted next to him as he glanced at Zhang Jiren's family.

"That's because he spoiled them too much."

"Two spoiled daughters and a naughty wife— I would never have imagined a man like him would end up with Miss Li," Song Fengyan admitted.

Feng Tianyi didn't say anything and only smiled. After all the horrible things that Zhang Jiren suffered in the past, he deserved this happiness he had right now with Li Meili and their two daughters. It surely hadn't been easy for Zhang Jiren but at least, he was able to recover fully from his sickness which allowed him to spend more time with his family.magic
