The Shang family visited Da Qing Fengs home to wish him a happy birthday, and to see Da Tian Ting too.

Da Ming Sheng was on her best behavior to make everyone put their guards down against her.

Dad, Duan Hua bought this for you, Da Ming Sheng said sweetly. I hope youll like it.

Da Qing Feng accepted the gift, and smiled politely. He didnt believe Da Ming Sheng actually changed after marrying Shang Duan Hua. He didnt believe Shang Duan Hua and his parents came just to wish him a happy birthday either.

Dad, open it and see if you like it, Da Ming Sheng said.

Qing Feng, now do you see how much Ming Sheng cares about you? Ning Kan asked. In the future, you cant say Ming Sheng doesnt care about you.

Ning Kan, its my birthday, Da Qing Feng said. Dont dampen my mood.

Da Qing Feng unwrapped the box. It was laughable he received a birthday gift from his son-in-law whereas his daughter had never bought him a birthday gift.

Da Qing Feng opened the box. It was a teapot. He hated drinking tea, but his son-in-law bought him a teapot. It showed the Shang family didnt come to just to wish him a happy birthday.

Wow, Ning Kan said. What a beautiful teapot.

Da Qing Feng would rather the Shang family didnt come to his home on his birthday. The Shang family kept looking at the front door like they wanted to leave or they were waiting for someone to appear so they could leave.

Dad, Ill go put your teapot in a safe place, Da Ming Sheng said.

No one cared what Da Ming Sheng wanted to do with the teapot.

Big brother, big sister, its kind of you come here and wish Qing Feng a happy birthday, Ning Kan said. Stay for dinner. I can cook dinner for everyone.

We bought ingredients to cook a birthday dinner for Qing Feng, Lam Shu Pan said. Ming Sheng, go cook dinner.

Yes mum, Da Ming Sheng said.

Da Ming Sheng helped out in the kitchen less than ten times since she was born. She didnt know how to cook, but to get into Duan Huas familys good books, she had to appear obedient. It was a tiring life to be a people pleaser.

Ning Kan knew the Shang family were making life hard on Da Ming Sheng, because Da Ming Sheng couldnt cook.

Ming Sheng doesnt need to help me cook, Ning Kan said. I like having the kitchen to myself when I cook.

Thank you mum, Da Ming Sheng said.

Ning Kan gave Da Qing Feng a dagger, and walked into the kitchen. She was frustrated Da Qing Feng didnt smile sincerely and he didnt praise the teapot even though he hated drinking tea.

Da Qing Feng forced himself to be a good host by making small talk.

Big brother, excuse my humble abode, Da Qing Feng said.

Qing Feng, you have a good home, Shang Ming said. In the past Ive lived in a home smaller than your home.

If Shang Ming didnt want to see Da Tian Ting then he wouldnt have visited Da Qing Fengs small home.

Qing Feng, lately has Tian Ting come here to visit you? Lam Shu Pan asked.

Tian Ting Da Qing Feng said.

Shang Duan Hua and Da Ming Sheng were the reason why Da Tian Ting left Da Qing Fengs home. Da Qing Feng was sad he couldnt see the person he wanted to see, but the people he didnt want to see visited his home.

Dad, my parents and I are worried about Tian Ting, Shang Duan Hua said. We dont know where Tian Ting is. Dad, youre Tian Tings uncle, has she contacted you?

Da Ming Sheng gritted her teeth. She hated Da Tian Ting. Da Tian Ting was gone, but she couldnt wipe Da Tian Ting out of everyones minds.

Da Qing Feng considered Da Ming Shengs feelings, and decided to change the topic of conversation.

Perhaps Tian Ting is living her own happy life right now, Da Qing Feng said. Duan Hua, when are you and Ming Sheng going to give me a grandchild to hold?

Dad Da Ming Sheng said.

Da Ming Sheng gaged Shang Duan Huas reaction. If he actually wanted a baby then she needed to turn her fake pregnancy into a real pregnancy.

Dad, today is your birthday, Shang Duan Hua said. Do you think Tian Ting will visit you to wish you a happy birthday?

Tian Ting Da Qing Feng said.

Da Qing Feng wanted to see Da Tian Ting, but he didnt want to see Da Ming Sheng sad either. Why couldnt the Shang family let Da Tian Ting live a happy life, and consider Da Ming Shengs feelings?

Shang Ming noticed Da Ming Sheng looked uncomfortable because everyone were worried about Da Tian Ting. He didnt care about Da Ming Sheng, but he respected Da Qing Feng. Since it was Da Qing Fengs birthday, he didnt want to upset Da Qing Feng by mentioning Da Tian Tings absence again.

Its Qing Fengs birthday, Shang Ming said. We should be making a toast to Qing Feng instead of talking about matters that can wait.

Shang Ming, didnt we come here today to see Tian Ting? Lam Shu Pan asked carelessly.

Shu Pan, if you cant understand its Qing Fengs birthday then you dont need to contribute to the conversation, Shang Ming said.

I Ill keep quiet, Lam Shu Pan said.

If everyone came here today to see Tian Ting then everyone can leave, Da Qing Feng said. The last time I saw Tian Ting was at the wedding where everyone here hurt Tian Ting deeply.

Dad! Da Ming Sheng said.

Ive only said the truth, Da Qing Feng said. If I remembered correctly, at the wedding everyone were in a rush to get rid of Tian Ting. Now that Tian Ting is gone, everyone has the nerve to ask about Tian Tings whereabouts.

Dad, stop talking, Da Ming Sheng said.

Everyone can heartlessly hurt Tian Ting but cant handle the truth, Da Qing Feng said.

Da Ming Sheng would have cursed Da Qing Feng if Shang Duan Huas parents werent in the same room.

Mum! Da Ming Sheng called.

Ning Kan ran back to the living room.

What is it? Ning Kan asked.

Mum, ask dad to be civil, Da Ming Sheng said.

Qing Feng, we have guests here, Ning Kan said.

What guests? Da Qing Feng asked. I only see unwanted guests.

Da Qing Feng stood to walk to his bedroom, but the doorbell rang.

The living room turned silent. Apart from Da Ming Sheng and Ning Kan, everyone else hoped it was Da Tian Ting who rang the doorbell.

Dont get your hopes up, Da Qing Feng said. Its my workmates coming here to wish me a happy birthday.

Da Qing Feng walked to the front door, and opened it.

Happy birthday uncle! Da Tian Ting said. She gave Da Qing Feng a big birthday box. I hope uncle will always be healthy, and live past one hundred years. I guarantee this winter uncle will stay warm.

Da Qing Feng accepted the big box. He felt seeing Da Tian Ting again was the best birthday gift.

Happy birthday uncle! Feng Kai Ze said. I hope uncle will always be happy. Ill help uncle carry Tian Tings birthday gift inside.

Thank you, Da Qing Feng said. Tian Ting, you and your boyfriend should come inside.

Da Qing Feng knew only Da Tian Ting and Feng Kai Ze came to see him to sincerely wish him a happy birthday.

Everyone in the living room heard Da Tian Tings voice, and they stood up from the sofa. They looked in Da Tian Tings direction. Da Tian Ting wore a red designer dress, her hair was straightened and she wore light makeup. What made Da Tian Ting look more beautiful was the happy glow on her face.
