Chapter 23 – Suddenly, for the very first time in his life, Meng Yuran felt jealous of his younger sister! (2)
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!
