Chapter 134 When They Came Out, The Middle-aged Woman Was Looking Into The Orphanage. (1/2)
”Lin Chu's outstanding, and she gets along well with her colleagues,” Wei Zilin replied indifferently.
”I've nothing to do anyway. Sister-in-law, I'll come visit you when I have nothing better to do.” Yan Zhiqing looked at Lin Chu.
Lin Chu saw Wei Zilin's facial expression changed as he started to lose his patience, and quickly said, ”The time's almost up, Shi Tou, Jinxi, can you help pull down the curtains?”
Shi Tou and Jinxi nodded and went to the window to pull the curtains down. Yan Huaian then brought the lighter to light the candles.
The group took the opportunity to switch up the topic, they acted as if they had not heard what Yan Zhiqing just said.
Yan Zhiqing was p*ssed to no end. As the curtains were being pulled down, the house was getting dimmer akin to nightfall. She glared fiercely at Lin Chu.
If it was Lu Weining, she would have helped her out. Unlike Lin Chu who purposely averted the topic!
Although now everyone's eyes were on the birthday boy, Yan Ningbai, no one noticed Yan Zhiqing's peculiar change in attitude.
Yan Ningbai clasped his fair little fat hands and puffed up his cheeks to make his wishes. Yu Zi turned on the lights.
The group then cut the cake and started eating.
Yan Beicheng used the fork with his left hand and started to eat. Han Zhuoli asked surprisingly, ”Cheng'er, when did you start wearing a ring?”
Yan Beicheng gave out an 'I wanted to be humble about it, but you asked anyway' expression at him. He placed the fork back on his cake plate and extended his hand in front of Han Zhuoli. He then proudly said, ”Lin Chu made these herself.”
Han Zhuoli was astonished, ”Hand-made?” Give me a break!
Yan Beicheng nodded shyly, ”Yes, it's for my birthday. She went to a handmade ring shop and made a ring as a gift to me. Because of this, her fingers were all swollen.”
Han Zhuoli, ”...”
Upon looking at Yan Beicheng's bashful face, he wanted to hit it!
Yan Beicheng patted Han Zhuoli's shoulder in consolation. ”Don't rush, one day you'll get a wife like Lin Chu, Of course, you might not find one similar who will make you a ring. But, if she bought one for you that would be just as good.”
Han Zhuoli, ”...”
Why would his future wife not make him a ring as well!
Who knew that Yan Beicheng was not even done? He took off the ring and showed Han Zhuoli the inner part of it. ”Look, the words were engraved by Lin Chu herself. It's all her love for me!”
Han Zhuoli wanted to get a closer look at the engraving, but Yan Beicheng immediately put it back on his finger.
Lin Chu, ”...”
She was listening to Yan Beicheng's words and felt that the thickness of her skin was not enough to handle it.
She was even embarrassed to look at Yan Beicheng. She averted her sight and just happened to gaze upon Yan Huaian and Yu Zi's smiling face, which made her face turned even redder.
”There's no more cake?” Chu Zhaoyang who hardly spoke suddenly asked.
When the group looked over, they noticed his plates were empty with only some cream left on it.
”Yeah, each person only gets a slice,” Lin Chu nodded as she explained.
The cake was huge, but it was outnumbered by a big group of people.
One would get tired of cake if too much was eaten. Moreover, other than a few of the kids, no one else would be interested in cakes and the kids would not eat such big slices anyway.
Chu Zhaoyang nodded, and silently took away the cake that Yan Beicheng was holding.
Yan Beicheng was not looking for a moment and was surprised when he saw Chu Zhaoyang slowly put the cake into his mouth. As he saw Yan Beicheng staring at him, he gave him a sneer, ”Hehe!”
You could continue to show off!
Was there something amazing about getting a ring?
You could not even eat one bite of Lin Chu's homemade cake!
Yan Beicheng, ”...”
Wei Ziqian then ate the cake as well and grinned as he said, ”That's what you get for abusing the single dogs.”
Chu Zhaoyang and Han Zhuoli stared at him, who were you calling dogs!
Wei Ziqian, ”...”
As the main character of the day, Yan Ningbai was scared big nephew would steal his cake. He opened his eyes widely and gobbled it down in big bites. His whole mouth and cheeks were smeared by cream.
Yan Beicheng saw Yan Ningbai's childishness and twitched his mouth.
If he wanted to eat them Lin Chu would make it for him any time, why would he want to steal his!
Moreover, he had been eating cake for a week!
Yan Beicheng snorted at them and did not want to stoop to their level.
Yan Ningbai licked the cream around his mouth clean. Yu Zi could not stand the ones that were smeared on his cheeks, she took a tissue out and wiped it off his pretty little face.
Yan Ningbai then took the chance to ask in a low voice, ”Mom, when are you giving me my birthday present?”
”...” Yu Zi looked at Yan Ningbai's anticipating gaze and went to call Yan Huaian. The two then took out the present they had prepared for him.
Yan Huaian had bought an Xbox One for Yan Ningbai. Yan Ningbai laid his eyes on the box, his mouth gaping open in surprise and could not shut them close for a while.
”Da… Dad, why are you so… so generous this year?” Yan Ningbai hugged the Xbox One and asked a question that made Yan Huaian wanted to grab the present back.
Yu Zi had to admit as well that her brat of a child would constantly say words that would make one angry. Before he said more things that would provoke Yan Huaian, she quickly took out her gift for him. ”These are games for the Xbox One.”
Yu Zi had picked out sports games for him, she thought that when Yan Ningbai was playing, he could also get some exercise out of it. Dieting was the second priority, the main priority was to exercise as health was the most important.
Yan Ningbai was not aware of his mother's dark twisted strategy, he received the beautiful gifts and exclaimed toward Mo Jinxi and the other, ”We'll play with it together later on!”
Lin Chu then took out the Pikachu bag she had prepared for Yan Ningbai. It was very cute pairing such an adorable and plump little yellow character with Yan Ningbai.
”Thank you, big niece-in-law!” Yan Ningbai happily shoved his newly received Xbox One and games inside the Pikachu bag.
He flashed his expecting eyes towards Yan Beicheng, ”Big nephew, what'd you get for uncle?”
”...” Yan Beicheng suddenly did not want to hand his gift over.
Lin Chu was getting quite worried. She was afraid that Yan Beicheng really did buy an Oxford Dictionary for Yan Ningbai.
Yan Beicheng said, ”Wait”, and left the place.
After a while, he was seen carrying a children's mountain bike. His left hand was holding on to a plastic bag from Xin Hua Bookstore.
Lin Chu sighed in relief and was glad Yan Beicheng did not give him a dictionary. She did not know that Yan Beicheng would get him the other present. It was because Lin Chu had not forgotten his birthday. As he was happy, he did not vent his anger towards Yan Ningbai.
Although, because of Yan Ningbai's bratty attitude earlier, Yan Beicheng gave him the plastic bag with the name Xin Hua Bookstore printed on it. ”This one's for you.”
Yan Ningbai took the bag with a sunken heart, he opened it and looked inside.
Yan Ningbai, ”...”
”This is a piece of your nephew's heart just for you,” Yan Beicheng grinned in complacent and raised his eyebrows at Yan Ningbai.
Yan Ningbai, ”...”
He had a nephew that was not filial and only knew how to stifle the elders all the time, what could he do!
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the children were tired from playing and they all fell asleep on the sofa.
Chu Xi was lying on top of Mo Jinxi and Yan Ningbai's legs with its stomach facing up as it slept soundly. From time to time, it would even twitch its paws. Chu Xi's head was opposite of Qi Youxuan's head and its back paws were almost stepping on Wei Muche's bratty head. A bunch of kids and a dog, sleeping together with no grace.
When everyone else saw this, they felt the birthday celebration was close to an end. Hence, they bid their farewells.
Yan Zhiqing looked at Wei Zilin reluctantly. Unfortunately, Wei Zilin did not even give an ounce of attention back to her.
Yan Zhiqing wanted to follow Wei Zilin along in his car unashamedly. When she was about to open her mouth, she heard Old Lady Yan coldly called out to her, ”Zhiqing, you're following us.”
Yan Zhiqing could only shut her mouth that she had just opened.
Following the two elders as they entered the car, Old Lady Yan disregarded Xiao Deng's existence and spoke to Yan Zhiqing. ”Zhiqing, you're still young. It's impossible between you and Zilin. He was being polite because of your brother, but stop doing it, don't embarrass your big brother.”
”Granny, what are you saying, I'm not a child anymore!” Yan Zhiqing looked at Xiao Deng who was driving and felt embarrassed.
