The former master would first have someone dig a few holes in the ice, then throw the fishing line with bait into the holes and wait for the fish to take the bait, just like normal fishing.

The former master was obviously an expert in fishing, and he often caught fish before long. Joy looked at the novelty and naturally wanted to join in.

The former master said nothing and immediately got someone to prepare a fishing rod for Joy. He took Joy fishing with him every day.

Joy was small, so the fishing rod he used was naturally smaller. The thin fishing rod hung in the hole that was about 30 centimeters in diameter. Joy stared at the fishing line without blinking. His serious look made the servants who used various excuses to “pass by” hold in their laughter.

However, with the former master as a master teacher, Joy quickly learned the tricks of fishing. On the third day of the official fishing, he caught his first fish, although the fish was only the size of his palm.

However, this did nothing to curb his sense of achievement at all. After catching the fish, Joy happily showed it to everyone, including the former master, Zhao Youlin, and Mu Tingfeng. In the end, the fish was sent to the kitchen. After it was cooked, it went into Joy’s stomach.

The leisurely days always passed very quickly. However, before Su Ruixin and Mu Xiaoyang flew over to meet them, another matter interrupted the leisurely peace of Zhao Youlin and the others.

“The invitation card for Kirsten’s wedding was just sent over.” The former master handed over the Red Invitation card in his hand and explained in a low voice, “He heard that you are here, and he hopes that you must attend his wedding.”

“Kirsten?” Zhao Youlin was drinking a cup of hot milk when she heard this and raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Kirsten… This name really sounded like a foreigner’s name. No, it was a foreigner’s name!

“Kirsten Blake is a good friend of mine from university.” Mu Tingfeng saw Zhao Youlin’s confusion and took the initiative to explain.

“University, huh?”

“Yes, but I returned home after graduating. I haven’t talked to him since then.” Mu Tingfeng took the red invitation card and opened it. The familiar face inside jumped into his sight. Beside him stood a beautiful blonde woman who looked very seductive.

Zhao Youlin naturally saw it too and asked casually, “Are you going to participate?”

“Do you want to go?”

Mu Tingfeng’s rhetorical question startled Zhao Youlin. After she reacted, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Your friend invited you, not me. Why are you asking me?”

Mu Tingfeng casually threw the invitation on the table and said firmly, “If you go, I’ll go. If you don’t go, I won’t go.”

Anyway, he came back home for his honeymoon, not to attend other people’s wedding banquet. If Zhao Youlin didn’t go with him, it would be meaningless.

Zhao Youlin was angered by Mu Tingfeng’s matter-of-factly tone and laughed. She rolled her eyes and secretly complained, “With your attitude, you deserve not having any friends!”

But it was true that she had not met any of Mu Tingfeng’s friends. Nie Yunfan wasn’t really a friend. He was more like… a sidekick.

Zhao Youlin coughed lightly. She decided to reluctantly save the shaky friendship between the two of them. “Ahem… he specially sent you an invitation the moment he heard that you’re back home. If you don’t go, it doesn’t seem very reasonable.”

“So?”

“I can go with you, right?”

Mu Tingfeng was satisfied. When he looked at the gilded name on the invitation, the corners of his lips curved slightly.

Just as Zhao Youlin had said, he didn’t have many friends. At least, he didn’t have many close friends he could truly confide in. Kirsten Blake was barely one of them. He had never introduced Zhao Youlin to his friends before, but this time, it was worth a try

A western banquet was somewhat different from an oriental banquet. Zhao Youlin thought about it and decided not to bring Joy.

That night, Zhao Youlin handed Joy over to the former master and followed Mu Tingfeng out the door.

Joy actually wanted to follow him, but he couldn’t do anything if Zhao Youlin didn’t agree. He was a little depressed.

But soon, his depressed mood was appeased by the cookies Alice had baked for him.

Ever since Zhao Youlin and Joy showed their pure love for Alice’s works on the first day they came, Alice had been circling Joy every day, making all kinds of exotic dishes for him. If Zhao Youlin hadn’t been worried that the child would have cavities and controlled his intake Joy would have probably eaten these little snacks as three meals a day.

With the little snacks, Joy and Alice quickly became familiar with each other. Now, the two of them had become good friends who talked about everything!

Kirsten Blake’s mansion was as exaggerated as Mu Tingfeng’s. No, to be more precise, it was even more exaggerated. In the incomparably large courtyard, there were some familiar stone statues of foreign giants everywhere. There were also some mythical figures, such as… Cupid. Of course, this Cupid was the same as some other mythical figures. He was completely naked.

This made Zhao Youlin sigh. Foreigners were indeed open-minded, and once again, she was sure that it was wise of her not to bring a child with her.

Zhao Youlin glanced at the layout of the Blake family’s courtyard, as well as the faintly discernible magnificent western-style building in the distance. She vaguely felt that something was not right.

This abnormality became even more obvious when she saw the other guests.

“Tingfeng, what’s the background of this friend of yours?” Zhao Youlin looked at the foreigners passing by around them.

Although she had some trouble telling foreigners apart, she could not deny that many of them had shown up here!

Wasn’t that man over there a famous superstar who played the male lead in that action movie back then? It was said that he had recently won the Best Actor award at a famous International Film Festival.

That woman over there seemed to be the female lead in a the same movie who had recently won the Best Actress award at a famous International Film Festival, right?

And that person over there was said to be some international superstar. His record sales were still an unattainable world record, and no one could break it.

Finally, there were a few people over there. They seemed to be famous high-ranking officials. Zhao Youlin remembered that when the domestic news channel talked about those faces during a political debate.

It was a small wedding banquet, and the guests were either celebrities or high-ranking officials. The host of this banquet… just who was he?!
