Chapter 36 - Felt Superfluous

Ji Naitang was afraid that he would hear Cen Muqi say something that he didn’t want to hear, so he quickly introduced himself, “I’m Ji Naitang.”

Then he felt that it wasn’t good that he interrupted them. He couldn’t help but glance at Cen Muqi. His heart slightly settled when he saw that Cen Muqi didn’t have any reaction.

The beautiful woman smiled. “I’m Tan Huanya.” She didn’t have much interest in Ji Naitang, so she turned back to Cen Muqi, “Qi ge, why aren’t you happy to see me back?”

Cen Muqi was somewhat helpless. “How am I not happy? Okay. Why are you blocking the door? Go inside now. Where’s my mom?”

“Aunt Yan is in the living room. She was wondering why you aren’t here yet.”

“There was some traffic.”

They walked inside while talking. Ji Naitang followed them. He could roughly guess Tan Huanya’s identity. She should be the daughter of Cen Muqi’s father’s driver.

Twelve years ago, there was a car accident with Cen Muqi’s father. Cen Muqi’s father and the driver both died on the spot. The driver’s wife jumped off a building afterwards. They left behind a daughter who was staying at the Cen house.

This information was obtained from Ji Naitang’s investigation of Cen Muqi. But he really didn’t know too much because Cen Muqi’s mother went abroad and Tan Huanya went with her.

“Ah, Qi is back.”

Cen Muqi’s mother was named Feng Yan. She seemed like a very gentle woman at first glance. Ji Naitang’s impression of her was still from twelve years ago in the hospital. Although she looked older now, she still looked much more spirited than at that time.

“Mom, didn’t you say that you’re coming back the day after tomorrow? Why are you early?” Cen Muqi went to sit over next to her. Feng Yan pretended to be angry and asked, “Why aren’t you happy that I came back early to see you?”

“How can that be? But you didn’t even tell me so I can go pick you up.”

“You’re busy at work. It’s tiring to run back and forth. Besides, there’s a driver.” Feng Yan then looked at Ji Naitang. Ji Naitang was suddenly a little nervous. But Feng Yan merely looked at him and didn’t say anything.

“Aunt Yan, Qi ge didn’t look happy to see me earlier.” Tan Huanya pulled on Feng Yan’s arm and complained.

Feng Yan smiled as she said, “If he doesn’t look happy to see you, then don’t be happy when you see him. But you just have to be all reluctant to do that, so you can only suffer grievances.”

“Aunt Yan!” Tan Huanya’s cheeks were slightly red. She seemed to be a bit shy. Ji Naitang suddenly felt that he shouldn’t have come. Their family was harmonious. He was superfluous.

He had never experienced such a warm family atmosphere before, so he felt that it was particularly blinding.

Cen Muqi asked Tan Huanya, “How are your studies going?”

“I got my diploma early. Qi ge, do you have a position ready for me?”

Cen Muqi shook his head. “You studied fashion design. I don’t have a suitable position for you in the company.”

Tan Huanya was instantly unhappy. Feng Yan said, “Can’t you find one suitable position in such a large company for HuanHuan? You’re the CEO. HuanHuan has kept me company all these years abroad, so she’s not familiar with the country. I’ll worry if she interns at another company.”

“But……”

“Okay. She’s just an intern right now. She doesn’t have to be in a professional position. It’s getting late. You must be hungry. Let’s eat.”

Cen Muqi couldn’t continue to refute anymore. They all went to the dining room. Ji Naitang was arranged to sit next to Cen Muqi, but he couldn’t feel happy.

“I’m planning to stay for a long time this time. HuanHuan’s birthday is almost here. Qi, why don’t you announce the engagement between you and HuanHuan on her birthday? Hold the birthday party and engagement party at the same time. It will be double the happiness. What do you think?”

After Feng Yan finished, she didn’t hear Cen Muqi’s response, but she heard a snapping sound from Ji Naitang. Everyone looked over. The chopsticks in Ji Naitang’s hands were broken.
