Chapter 673: Let’s go to the beach
After Mei-Mei’s recital, Muyang carried Mei-Mei and held Rose by the hand abut he still ensured that Chi Lian and little monk walked within the distance of his arm, far away from Si Cong who had been shooting small glances at his wife all through the recital.
Si Cong watched the family leave, and he had a sad look in his eyes which was noticed by his sister Si Da Xia.
"Are you still in love with her?" she asked him.
Si Cong nodded and Si Da Xia shook her head, pitying her poor brother who was bound to suffer with his one sided love which would forever go unrequited.
"She is married and not just to any man but Jun Muyang. He has the looks and the money, so you cannot seduce her away with anything. Give up, Si Cong, and marry the woman our parents have chosen for you. I know Lee Lanying personally. She is not just my friend’s younger sister but she is also a great girl. I am sure that you will be happy."
"You don’t have to convince me about the benefits of our Si family allying with the Lee’s, mother already listed them down for me. But, getting married when someone else dwells in my heart would not only be cruel to me but to Lanying as well." he said.
"You will not be the first man to do so, and you will learn to love her. As for Chi Lian, forget it brother, Jun Muyang or his brother Muchen will come after us all if you do something foolish. Do not cause our entire family to perish just because of lust." Si Da Xia warned him. "Besides, have you seen the way she looks at him, and the fact that she apparently pursued him first. She is so blindly in love that no other man on earth stands a chance with that woman."
Then, she smiled and waved at one of the mothers who was waving at her, and she walked them. "I will see you later Cong," she said as she left.
Chi Lian and her family had reached home, already, after a short drive. All of the members of the family who had attended to the recital had been invited back to the house for a celebration. If the food was not enough, she could get it from the farm and T4 would have someone pretend to deliver it.
In fact, she told T4 to work on that immediately because the house was very full. All of her brothers, some cousins, her parents and grandparents were here. It was the same on Muyang’s side.
The gathering found it’s way to the pool side as the brothers wanted to drink in a freer environment. The women had already beaten them to it, and they had picked out the best spots to sit.
