"Isn’t it a brother’s duty to buy a cake to cheer up his sister?" Cheng Yue clicked his tongue and saw the complex emotions in Yan Huan’s eyes when he turned his gaze to her.
At that mont, he suddenly wanted to explain to Yan Huan that it wasn’t what she thought.
But how to explain?
He opened his mouth, but the words got stuck in his throat.
"I’m so happy." Shen Qiqi bead.
"You really are a kid." Ji Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, "A cake makes you this happy?"
"Yes! Because it was gifted by Cheng Yue! It shows I’m in his heart!" Shen Qiqi said with a smile.
"I only see you as a kid! I treat you like a child, that’s all!" Cheng Yue looked disdainful.
"Say whatever you want, I don’t care!" Shen Qiqi happily picked up her empty glass and reached towards Ji Chuan, "Director Ji, can I have so red wine?"
"No way!" Cheng Yue quickly grabbed Shen Qiqi’s glass, "You can’t drink! Don’t you know you’re allergic to alcohol?"
"Just a little! I’m happy, it’s my birthday today! Besides, it’ll just cause a tiny rash!" Shen Qiqi said nonchalantly.
"No way!"
"Please..."
"No ans no! Stop arguing, Shen Qiqi, if you don’t listen, I’ll call Uncle Shen right now to take you ho!"
"Fine then..." Shen Qiqi reluctantly agreed.
The cake arrived, all in pink, looking full of a girl’s heart.
"Wow! You rembered what I like!" Shen Qiqi clasped her hands together, eyes full of tenderness as she looked at Cheng Yue.
"As if I wouldn’t know your little quirks?"
"Hehehe!"
Yan Huan remained silent, suddenly feeling like an outsider watching the two before her.
Cheng Yue seed to understand Shen Qiqi so well, but what about her?
"Here, have so cake!" Cheng Yue handed a piece of cake to Yan Huan, his gaze carrying a hint of apology.
"Cheng Yue!" Yan Huan suddenly spoke.
"Hm?"
"We’re even now!"
Cheng Yue was stunned, "What do you an?"
Yan Huan looked down and said nothing, just silently putting the cake into her mouth bit by bit.
But Ji Chuan understood what she ant.
Just now, Cheng Yue was hurt, upset, and now it’s Yan Huan’s turn.
So, she said they were even.
But what Ji Chuan wanted to say was, it’s not even, what about his own discomfort?
Steak, grilled bread, and pasta—all were served. What was ant to be a romantic dinner for two arranged by Ji Chuan turned into a birthday dinner for four.
Everyone gave their blessings to Shen Qiqi, and she beca the happiest person of the night.
Her tears had disappeared long ago, replaced by a beaming smile.
"Let’s eat! I suddenly rembered I forgot to tell my mom sothing tonight. If I get ho too late, she’ll be worried!" Yan Huan really couldn’t stand it anymore.
This was too much of an appetite killer.
"Alright, alright!" Shen Qiqi laughed as she pulled Cheng Yue’s pasta towards her, skillfully picking out the onions with chopsticks.
"What’s this..." Yan Huan watched her do this, feeling puzzled.
"Shen Qiqi, give the plate back to !" Cheng Yue, afraid Yan Huan might misunderstand him again, quickly reached out to snatch the plate from Shen Qiqi’s hands.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? There are still a bunch of onions in here! I haven’t finished picking them out yet!" Shen Qiqi said as she hastily continued picking at her food.
