Chapter 1151 - 1171: The Man Who Says One Thing and Means Another
The old man sat on a carved wooden chair. Although he was elderly and wore reading glasses, he still looked robust.His gaze was sharp.
"Grandpa, happy birthday to you! May your happiness be as vast as the ocean and your lifespan as enduring as Nanshan!" Tang Yan said with a smile, stepping forward to grasp the old man’s hand.
Tang Zongde beamed with joy, lovingly patting Tang Yan’s hand and saying, "You rascal, you actually remembered your grandfather’s birthday! By the way, this girl is..."
Tang Yan glanced at Qi Yue and then smiled, "Grandpa... she is my girlfriend... You’ve always been nagging me, so today I brought her here especially to meet you."
"Grandpa, happy birthday!" Qi Yue said with a smile, stepping forward.
Tang Zongde looked at Qi Yue, and his eyes revealed a comforting smile.
"Hmm... not bad. Young lady, what’s your name?"
"My name is Qi Yue... the ’Qi’ from ’relative’ and the ’Yue’ from ’moon’." Qi Yue replied with a smile.
Tang Zongde extended his hand, and Qi Yue quickly stepped forward to shake the old man’s hand.
The old man looked Qi Yue up and down, nodded, and then looked at Tang Yan.
"Yan’er, this girl is nice! You should treat her well, understand?"
Tang Yan’s face showed a hint of complexity; he nodded, "I will, Grandpa."
"Since you’ve decided to be in a relationship, make time to meet each other’s parents soon. Then, set the marriage date as early as possible."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue’s face changed slightly.
Tang Yan also felt a bit awkward and quickly said, "Grandpa... let’s talk about this matter another time. Today is your birthday; there are many guests outside. Let me take you out."
Tang Zongde glanced at Qi Yue and Tang Yan, smiled, and nodded, "Alright."

In the corridor.
Nangong Zhongli held a Chanel handbag, wearing a blue gown, with bright red lips, elegantly looking at Qin Yi in front of her.
Qin Yi looked at Nangong Zhongli with an expressionless face: "Miss Zhong Li, if you have something to say, just say it quickly."
Nangong Zhongli chuckled: "Why are you in such a hurry? We haven’t seen each other in a while. When you see me, don’t you want to say anything?"
Qin Yi looked at Nangong Zhongli, noticing she looked better than the last time he saw her, seemingly much improved.
Thinking about her and Liang Shaochen together, he suddenly didn’t know whether he should be happy or sad.
"Congratulations, Miss Zhong Li and Mr. Liang, on rekindling your relationship." Qin Yi held back for a while and finally said this.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Zhongli burst into laughter.
Qin Yi’s face changed slightly at her laughter, a trace of annoyance flickered in his eyes.
"Miss Zhong Li, what are you laughing at?"
"I’m laughing at you, saying one thing but meaning another." Nangong Zhongli reached out and poked Qin Yi’s chest.
Qin Yi’s brow furrowed, and a complex blend of pain and emotion flashed in his eyes.
The girl’s faint, familiar perfume scent—she seems to have used this perfume for many years. Whenever he smells this scent, he thinks of her.
Qin Yi looked at Nangong Zhongli, knowing she was mocking him, yet his heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Still, he took a step back to maintain distance, indifferently asked, "Miss Zhong Li, did you call me out just to make fun of me?"
Nangong Zhongli, seeing his serious demeanor, suddenly felt bored.
She merely reached out and tidied the strands of hair at her forehead.
"Of course not." She glanced around.
Seriously, she asked, "Let me ask you, is the necklace Xiaonuan is wearing really a gift from the Crown Prince?"
