Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo intended to find a private room for a quiet couple’s world, but couldn’t resist the enthusiastic people in the restaurant. Once Qiulan ntioned it was Cheng Su’s birthday, first Old Song ca personally to offer his blessing, followed by departnt heads and service staff.
No one minds receiving too many blessings. Qi Taiguo was quite happy with it. After all, blessings are words of goodwill, and he was happy to hear them.
However, as Cheng Su sat in the room eating, with people coming in and out, naturally, so people noticed.
Soon, other guests learned that Cheng Su was dining there today, and they flocked over, turning the small Fall Equinox Room from a couple’s retreat into a social gathering.
With good news surrounding Cheng Su, she couldn’t drink, but with Qi Taiguo by her side, he beca the one to down drink after drink with others.
Qi Taiguo, now holding a higher military officer position, attracted many people wanting to connect with him and make an acquaintance, making the room quite lively.
Eventually, Qi Taiguo spoke up, "Everyone, we appreciate your enthusiasm, but today is my beloved’s birthday. We wanted to enjoy a quiet al together as a couple. Please understand and give us so space; there will be plenty of opportunities to drink together in the future."
Everyone was taken aback, not knowing who chuckled and said, "I couldn’t tell Deputy Battalion Commander Qi is such a doting husband. Alright, I won’t disturb your couple’s world. Just make sure to have a drink with us another ti."
Once this was said, the others naturally took the hint and bid their farewells.
After everyone left, the entire Fall Equinox Room was left with a faint aroma of wine and a few cold dishes.
Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo exchanged a glance, both smiling helplessly.
"I was wrong. We shouldn’t have dined at our own restaurant. Let’s go sowhere else next ti!" Qi Taiguo said.
Cheng Su laughed, "You were the one who insisted we co here to eat!"
Qi Taiguo looked a bit sheepish.
As they were almost finished eating, Qiulan ca over holding a large longevity peach with a candle on it.
"Why this?" Cheng Su laughed with surprise.
"Our dessert departnt doesn’t make cakes, so we made a longevity peach instead. I thought it has the sa aning, and it’s even better. Sister Su, wishing you perpetual youth and happiness," Qiulan said with a smile.
"I said we should buy a cake, but you insisted two people couldn’t finish it and it would be wasteful. This is good too, the aning is there," Qi Taiguo was quite pleased, urging Cheng Su, "Co on, make a wish."
Cheng Su chuckled softly, looking at the large pink peach, she stood up, crossed her hands together, and closed her eyes to make a wish.
First wish for family health and safety, peace and reunion.
Second wish for the love of her life to always be with her.
Third wish for world peace and Little Cheng Su to grow up happily.
She blew out the candle in one breath, her eyes glistening with tears.
Qi Taiguo tore off a piece of the peach for her and suddenly asked, "Susu, when was your birthday before?"
Cheng Su was taken aback and replied, "During Qingming in April."
"Then from now on, shall we celebrate on that date?" Qi Taiguo said, "At least privately, just the two of us."
Cheng Su understood his intention. He wanted to thoroughly celebrate her true birthday!
"Okay!" Cheng Su nodded with a smile.
When they got ho, Qi Taiguo took out a long-prepared gift, a silk scarf, with a very soft texture.
Cheng Su was touched by his thoughtfulness. In the blink of an eye, it was already her third year here.
