Chapter 1521: Twentieth Birthday
Su Li prepared everything in two portions, giving one to the artist.
Feng Yi really enjoyed Su Li’s handmade crispy pear pastry, finishing it cleanly in no time, whereas Ning Yan ate slowly and methodically beside her.
Feng Yi remained silent, just stared at him with big, watery eyes, making Ning Yan’s scalp tingle.
"Here, you can have it. I won’t eat anymore." Ning Yan handed the rest to her, and Feng Yi immediately beamed a satisfied smile, accepting it without hesitation.
This little girl really had no sense of restraint...
Even though she came from the future, she’s still seventeen now and older than Ning Yan.
Su Li, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but feel that Feng Yi seemed to be bullying her younger brother.
Su Li glanced at the half-finished robot, muttering before addressing Feng Yi, "Yiyi, your dad knows I came to the Research Institute today at Professor Tang Lide’s invitation, and you’re living in Professor Tang’s laboratory, so... if Feng Huaijin asks about Professor Tang’s research project, don’t tell the truth."
Feng Yi paused her eating, "About the research team discovering an extremely large time-space rift?"
Su Li nodded.
Feng Yi vaguely felt that this matter might have something to do with her brother, but seeing Su Li’s slightly tense expression, she nodded immediately, "I understand."
Regardless of whether it’s her or her brother, in her dad’s mind, they’d always be behind Su Li.
Su Li laughed and nodded, "Then I’ll head back now, you guys come home and visit whenever you can."
This time, it was Feng Yi and Ning Yan who escorted Su Li out.

As spring gradually arrived, her belly grew bigger, and soon it was her twentieth birthday.
Twenty is a rather special age, so her grandparents wanted to host a big event for her, but Su Li declined due to her pregnancy, opting for a family dinner with a few friends instead.
Su Li had already heard that Feng Yi had pulled Ning Yan into preparing her birthday gift.
After spring began, Ao Shi Group’s electronic chip orders soared several times over, earning them massive profits in a blink of an eye, which made Feng Huaijin extremely busy at the company, not to mention his friend Mu Qingmei was about to undergo a bone marrow transplant from Uncle Mo Yu, requiring Feng Huaijin to accompany him back to An City.
One is a childhood female friend, and the other is the donor who is highly regarded by his fiancée, so Feng Huaijin had to go.
Su Li stayed worried in Jiangzhou Prefecture throughout the day, unable to eat until Feng Huaijin messaged her at night saying the surgery was successful and that they’d observe Mu Qingmei’s condition afterward.
What Su Li didn’t understand was... Feng Huaijin went to An City to visit Mu Qingmei, staying there for nearly a week before returning to Jiangzhou Prefecture.
The reason?
Feng Huaijin simply said it was something related to the Feng Family and provided no specific details.
The more ambiguous he was, the more unease Su Li felt in her heart.
She worried for such a long time in Jiangzhou Prefecture, fearing someone from the Feng Family might harm him, yet he disclosed nothing?
Su Li looked expressionlessly at the pile of gifts that almost formed a small hill before her.
"Where is Mr. Qi? In the company? Wasn’t it agreed he’d take the day off?"
The housekeeper grinned, "Sir has been very busy with company affairs lately, Miss Su Li. While you were asleep in the room, he went to the study to handle some paperwork."
Su Li immediately headed towards the study with her pregnant belly, her make-up-free face looking very upset.
Today was her twentieth birthday, and not only did he not show any gesture, but he’s also busy with work at home?
