"I've already ordered the food, do you need to add anything else?" Liu Nanfeng handed the menu to Zhan Dundun after he sat down.
Of course, it was handed to Shen Wenhui.
"I'm fine, Dundun, see if there's anything you want to add," Shen Wenhui passed the menu to Zhan Dundun beside her.
Zhan Dundun didn't stand on ceremony and started looking through it.
"Sister Huamei, it's been a while. I thought Sister Jinxiu would be joining us tonight," Shen Wenhui greeted Su Huamei with ease.
"It has been a long time. You've become even more beautiful," Su Huamei said.
Her demeanor was elegant, calm, and composed, full of intellectual beauty, completely unlike the lively and active persona she showed Liu Nanfeng in private.
Actually, Liu Nanfeng knew some of the reasons. Su Huamei had always looked up to Su Jinxiu as a role model and tried to emulate her in many ways. Although they often bickered when they were together, they loved each other, otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed together for so many years.
"Sister Huamei is just flattering me. Not at all," Shen Wenhui said with a hint of shyness.
"Yes, why isn't Sister Jinxiu here? Why don't you call her over? It's not far anyway," Zhan Dundun, who was looking at the menu, raised his head and said to Liu Nanfeng.
"No need. Jinxiu is pregnant. She definitely wouldn't eat unhealthy food like barbecue."
"Oh, I see. Huh..."
Zhan Dundun was greatly surprised, and the menu in his hand dropped to the floor.
"What's wrong?" Shen Wenhui, who was beside him, picked up the menu, a little confused.
"Liu Shutiao said his wife is pregnant, she's having a baby," Zhan Dundun's eyes were wide with surprise.
"Why are you so surprised? We've been married for several years, isn't it normal to have children?" Liu Nanfeng said casually.
He naturally knew what Zhan Dundun was surprised about. He probably even imagined what kind of little monster it would be.
"Yes, isn't this very normal? What's so surprising?" Shen Wenhui glanced at Liu Nanfeng, her expression somewhat complicated.
Liu Nanfeng didn't feel much, but Su Huamei, sitting opposite him, sensed a subtle abnormality.
"But... he... but..." Zhan Dundun also came to his senses, realizing he couldn't say this to Shen Wenhui.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. Have some peanuts." Liu Nanfeng pushed the braised peanuts on the table towards him.
"Okay, when did Sister Jinxiu get pregnant?" Zhan Dundun had also recovered his composure and asked curiously.
In fact, he wanted to ask how Su Jinxiu got pregnant. His own family was in a similar situation, and it had been extremely difficult for his parents to conceive him.
Shen Wenhui, hearing this from beside him, asked with a hint of disdain, "Why are you asking these things? But congratulations, Liu Shutiao, you're going to be a father."
"Thank you," Liu Nanfeng said, without answering Zhan Dundun's question.
Zhan Dundun also realized it wasn't appropriate to ask at this moment and suppressed his curiosity, remaining silent.
"Skewers are here."
At this moment, Zhang Xinwu came carrying a large plate of grilled skewers.
Liu Nanfeng had ordered them early, and with fewer people, the speed was quicker.
"Take your own beer," Zhang Xinwu put down the tray and went back to his work.
Shen Wenhui stood up, preparing to get beer from the side. The beer was in a corner behind Su Huamei.
Then, she noticed a bouquet of roses on a nearby stool.
"Wow, roses. Sister Huamei, are they for you? Who sent them?" Shen Wenhui asked with surprise.
Before Su Huamei could speak, Liu Nanfeng interjected, "Of course, they're from me."
Su Huamei's face lit up with joy, and even her eyebrows radiated happiness.
"How could you... how could you do this? Sister Jinxiu already has a baby," Shen Wenhui said indignantly.
She had actually suspected for a long time that Su Huamei and Liu Nanfeng's relationship was unusual, but she hadn't confirmed it, so she couldn't make assumptions. Now, hearing Liu Nanfeng say it himself, and the way they looked at each other, it was an unspoken admission.
Her heart ached, and a surge of anger rose. She looked at Liu Nanfeng with contempt, and even gave Su Huamei a cold shoulder.
However, neither Liu Nanfeng nor Su Huamei paid attention to her gaze. They looked at each other, seeing the mutual affection in their eyes.
"Wenhui, I'll get it with you."
Zhan Dundun got up and walked over, pulling Shen Wenhui away.
If it were ordinary people, Zhan Dundun would have felt such behavior was inappropriate. But if both parties were willing, he felt he had no standing to criticize them.
It was clear now that neither Su Jinxiu, Su Huamei, nor Liu Nanfeng were ordinary people. And he didn't believe that Su Jinxiu was unaware of the relationship between Su Huamei and Liu Nanfeng. Since she hadn't said anything, what right did he have to judge them?
Moreover, in the demon race, polygamy was very common. Because demons had long lifespans and had come from feudal societies, whether you called their thinking feudal or stubborn, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
It was just that people nowadays found such relationships absurd. But with the economic development and widening wealth gap over the years, such situations were becoming increasingly common. Although legally unrecognized, people seemed to be accepting it as normal.
"Liu Shutiao, you scumbag. I never thought he was this kind of person. Is he worthy of Sister Jinxiu? And Sister Huamei, no, it's Su Huamei, how can she be with... with..." Shen Wenhui's cheeks were flushed with anger.
Zhan Dundun watched her in silence, gazing at her blankly.
"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you saying Liu Shutiao is going too far? How could he do this?" Shen Wenhui's cheeks were red with anger.
But Zhan Dundun didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked leisurely, "Why are you so angry?"
Shen Wenhui froze for a moment, then her face turned pale. She lowered her head, perhaps not daring to look at Zhan Dundun.
Zhan Dundun, as if not noticing, continued, "Sister Jinxiu must know about this, so we don't need to worry about it."
"How is that possible?" Shen Wenhui exclaimed, looking up in surprise.
"Why not?"
As Zhan Dundun spoke, he turned and walked towards the corner, picked up a case of beer, and walked back.
Shen Wenhui watched his retreating figure, bit her lip, and then silently followed him.
"I haven't even got one, and you've got two at once. You're truly a winner in life," Zhan Dundun said with a smile as he sat down.
Then, he opened a bottle of beer and placed it in front of Liu Nanfeng.
"We won't go home until we're drunk tonight," Zhan Dundun declared.
"Sure, let's divide it up. Just don't pass out," Liu Nanfeng replied with a smile.
Then, he looked at Shen Wenhui, who had just sat down.
Shen Wenhui turned her face away and snorted, still giving him a sour look.
Liu Nanfeng ignored her, raised his beer bottle, and extended it towards Zhan Dundun.
"Cheers."
"Cheers."
Zhan Dundun clinked his bottle with Liu Nanfeng's, and then they both drank it down.
Watching them act like this, Shen Wenhui whispered to Su Huamei, "Sister Huamei, I'm sorry, I..."
"It's alright," Su Huamei interrupted her with a smile.
"I understand you."
"But why?" Shen Wenhui asked curiously.
No matter how you looked at it, Su Jinxiu and Su Huamei were both exceptionally outstanding women. She couldn't understand why they were willing to be with Liu Nanfeng at the same time.
Was his charm that great? Thinking of this, she felt a pang of displeasure and a hint of sourness.
"When it comes to feelings, there aren't so many 'whys.' As long as we're happy together, don't ask too many questions. There aren't so many 'whys' in this world. Too many questions make people unhappy," Su Huamei said with a smile.
The reason she said this was because she was in a very good mood at the moment.
"But I still don't understand. What's so great about Liu Shutiao? You don't know, he was so dirty when he was little. He always had two snot strings hanging down, and he liked to wipe them with his sleeve, especially in winter. His sleeves were polished shiny, and also..."
"Hey, hey, let's eat. Don't talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation. This is slander."
"I'll be a witness. Wenhui is telling the truth. It's not defamation."
"Are you even my brother? You're prioritizing romance over friendship."
"You have the nerve to say that to me."
"Haha... indeed not..."
"You still have some self-awareness. Come, cheers..."
Cheers...
