Chapter 106: Birthday Wish
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liang Xun’s culinary skills were superb and delicious, but every dish was very light.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t make spicy dishes, but Jing Yao would definitely want to eat the spicy dishes when they were on the table. If he didn’t let her eat them, she would definitely watch eagerly. He might as well not make them.
Everyone knew Jing Yao’s current situation, so they didn’t express their dissatisfaction.
As they were eating, Liang Xun’s cell phone rang. The cake he had ordered had arrived.
Liang Xun personally went out to pick it up. The cake was not big. After all, there were not many of them, but it looked very beautiful and was definitely not cheap.
Jing Yao looked at the beautiful cake carefully.
Seeing this, Ji Wei felt a little bitter.
He knew very well that Jing Yuan would bully Jing Yao even more on her birthday every year when she was in the Jing Family. It was clearly Jing Yao’s birthday, but Jing Yao didn’t look forward to it. She was only afraid.
He still remembered that on Jing Yao’s first birthday after returning to the Jing Family, Cheng Wan took him and Wen Chen there. At that time, the thin and small Jing Yao watched helplessly and expectantly as the guests gave Jing Yuan a birthday present.
Ji Wei had already heard about Jing Yao from Cheng Wan. He had the same thoughts as Jing Yao. He thought that since it was their birthday banquet, those people would prepare a gift for Jing Yao, but they didn’t.
At the birthday banquet, Jing Yao was still wearing her old clothes. Everyone was blessing Jing Yuan, so Jing Yao hid in a corner, her eyes dimming bit by bit.
Cheng Wan also noticed it, but she couldn’t say anything. She prepared two gifts. After sending Jing Yuan out, she handed the other one to Wen Chen and asked him to give it to Jing Yao.
But Wen Chen rejected her. He looked at Jing Yao with disdain at that time.
Cheng Wan’s face darkened. She wanted to scold Wen Chen, but Ji Wei did not know what he was thinking at that time. He took the initiative to take the gift. “Aunt, I’ll go. That little sister is cute.”
Cheng Wan smiled when she heard that. She pinched his face and said, “Go ahead, but that’s not a little sister. That’s an older sister. She’s two years older than you.”
Ji Wei was puzzled at that time. After all, Jing Yao looked really thin and wasn’t even as tall as him. How could she be his older sister?
Later on, Jing Yuan broke Jing Yao’s gift. Cheng Wan prepared the same gift for them, and Jing Yuan said that Jing Yao was not worthy of having the same thing as her.
After dinner, they sat in the living room and chatted for a while. When it was almost time, Liang Xun personally took a custom-made birthday crown for JingYao towear.
Jing Yao looked up at him slightly, feeling helpless and uneasy.
Liang Xun smiled gently at her and put on the crown neatly. Then, he retreated and looked at it for a moment. “It’s very beautiful. I’ll custom-made another style for you next year.”
The others clapped along. Shen Zhao squeezed past Liang Xun forcefully and stood in front of Jing Yao. She held Jing Yao’s hand and shook it. “You’re too beautiful, Baby Yaoyao. As your old fan for five years, do I have the honor to take a photo with you alone?”
Ji Wei, who was at the side, also started to shout when he heard that. “I want it too. You’ve only been following her for five years. How can you be considered an old fan? I’ve been here for more than 10 years, alright? I should be the first to take photos.”
Liang Xun’s expression darkened. It was fine if he didn’t want this sister. Also, did his little brother, whom he was about to accept today, have any discernment?
Zhu Sui patted Liang Xun’s shoulder, indicating for him to look at Jing Yao.
After what they did, Jing Yao smiled and the uneasiness was gone.
Liang Xun took a deep breath and decided to forget it. He would not fuss about it this time.
It was also Zhu Ling’s first time officially celebrating Jing Yao’s birthday. In the past, Jing Yao said that she didn’t celebrate her birthday no matter what. She had to find another reason to give her a birthday gift, or Jing Yao wouldn’t accept it.
She pulled Shen Zhao away and said in a low voice, “Alright, you two. When can’t you take photos later? Let Jing Yao make a wish and blow out the candles first. This is the most important part.”
The two of them instinctively listened to Zhu Ling. After all, Zhu Ling’s aura was really strong.
Jing Yao looked up at Zhu Ling, then at Liang Xun. The uneasiness that had dissipated just now reappeared. She asked an ignorant question that only a child would ask. “Can the wish made on her birthday really be fulfilled?”
Liang Xun was stunned for a moment before saying firmly, “Yes..”
