The waiter smiled and said, "No mistake, this was arranged by this gentleman. All your dishes are served, please enjoy your meal, and best wishes for your happiness!"

Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao looked at He Tingchuan in disbelief.

He Tingchuan's lips curled up in a smug smile: "What are you looking at me for? Blow out the candles!"

"Thank you, honey. I love it when you prepare such romantic surprises next time!" Yun Jin smiled and leaned over to kiss him, then blew out the candles with Xiao Niangao.

Knowing that Xiao Niangao wanted to eat cake, Yun Jin cut a big piece for her. This is the perfect age for her to eat cake; she won't like it as much when she gets older.

Little Rice Cake really enjoyed eating it. While she was eating, she suddenly bumped her teeth, frowned, and spat out a golden ring. Looking at it, Little Rice Cake exclaimed in shock, "Mommy, look! What did I eat?"

"A ring!" Yun Jin looked at He Tingchuan: "What other surprises do I not know about?"

"That's all!" He Tingchuan wanted to buy another one, but that wasn't all the pocket money he had. Now the price of gold had risen a lot, and one gram was equivalent to someone else's monthly salary.

After washing it clean, Yun Jin put it on her wrist and asked, "Does it look good?"

Little Rice Cake nodded: "Mommy, can I wear it?"

Yun Jin took off a small rice cake and put it on. It was too big and fell off immediately. Even so, the little rice cake liked it very much: "When I grow up, I will buy a gold ring to wear. It's pretty!"

"Okay, Mom will buy it for you." Yun Jin doted on her daughter.

Little Rice Cake shook her head: "No need, I'll have my husband buy it for me!"

He Tingchuan didn't even have time to cover her mouth: "How old are you? You're already thinking about finding a husband?"

"Yeah, look how good Daddy is to Mommy. I want to find a husband who's really, really good to me, just like Daddy, hehe!" Little Rice Cake had no idea what "husband" meant.

She assumed that all couples were like her parents.

He Tingchuan immediately began his tutoring: "You're still young, you have a long way to go!"

"Even if I find someone later, I need my parents' permission."

Little Rice Cake nodded: "Of course, if Daddy doesn't like it, I definitely won't want it."

He Tingchuan, pleased with himself for being appeased by a single sentence, said, "That's right, if Dad doesn't like it, we definitely can't have it."

Yun Jin thought to herself, "That's it. With my doting father's personality, I'm afraid none of the men my daughter chooses will be to her father's liking."

Isn't this digging a hole for myself?

Oh well, Xiao Niangao is only six years old, and it's a long time before she'll be dating anyone, so Yun Jin doesn't need to worry about it.

The cake wasn't finished that night, so Yun Jin packed it up and took it home. He's parents were still awake, so everyone ate cake together at home. Little Bean Bun even ate a big piece of cake.

With her sharp eyes, Mrs. He noticed a new ring on Yun Jin's hand and asked with a smile, "Did Nian Gao's father buy it?"

Yun Jin nodded.

Little Rice Cake laughed and said, "I found the ring in the cake. My dad hid it in the cake. I took a bite, hurt my teeth, and spat it out before I realized it was cake."

Mrs. He thought it was romantic.

Mr. He almost hit his son with his cane: "You scoundrel, how could you put it in the cake? What if Xiao Nian Gao accidentally swallowed it? You're such a grown man, don't you even think about safety?"

He Tingchuan thought about it and felt a chill: "Dad was right to scold me. I won't do it again next time."

"You want to do it again?" Mr. He wanted to hit him.

He Tingchuan: "..."

You're the boss, so you call the shots.

On Xiao Niangao's birthday, many people were invited to a restaurant for dinner. He's parents planned to stay at home, but Yun Jin thought it would be too much trouble and that it would be best to just go to the restaurant so she wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Li Aimei and Zhang Qingwei, a married couple, came over for lunch during their lunch break.

He Tingchuan paused for a moment upon seeing him, then greeted him with a smile, "Brother!"

He Tingchuan knew Li Aimei was pregnant, but he didn't expect her belly to be so big. He asked, "When will you give birth?"

Li Aimei smiled and said, "You're coming back especially next month, brother?"

"Mm!" He Tingchuan nodded, without saying anything more.

Yun Jin immediately called Zhang Qingwei over: "You've come at the right time. He doesn't want to go to the hospital, and you happen to be surgeons. Check how his injury is healing."

Li Aimei panicked: "Brother is injured?"

"It's just a minor injury. Your sister-in-law was just nervous. I'm recovering very well." He Tingchuan said shyly, lifting his clothes.

Yun Jin glared at him.

Li Aimei said, "Whether it's a minor injury or not isn't up to you to decide. Let your brother-in-law take a look. His medical skills are pretty good now, you can trust him!"

Zhang Qingwei's ears turned slightly red after being praised, and he pushed up his glasses shyly.

He Tingchuan had no choice but to expose the wound without bandaging it.

Zhang Qingwei examined the wound carefully and said affirmatively, "The recovery is good, and the wound has been treated very well. Just continue to rest for a few more days."

Looking at Mu Cannon's wound, Li Aimei felt sorry for him: "This wound shouldn't have hit any vital organs, it's nothing serious."

Yun Jin was relieved.

A short while later, He Ximei and her family arrived, as did Lin Wenfang. They were all acquaintances and had a good relationship. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the dishes were served. The large private room they had booked could seat more than twenty people, which was just right for them.

Li Aimei bought a thick coat for Xiaoniangao. She didn't know what else to give as a gift, so she just gave the child clothes.

He Ximei bought a beautiful hat; it's cute to wear, fluffy, and warm in winter.

The gift from Lin Wenfang and her husband was a pair of dance shoes. They were very comfortable, protective of the feet, and lightweight. Little Niangao liked them very much and said thank you with a smile.

Parents didn't have much to give, so they gave Xiao Niangao a gold bracelet, which looked shiny on her wrist.

When it was Yun Jin and her husband's turn, the gift they gave was a harmonica that Xiao Niangao had wanted. They didn't know who she saw playing the harmonica, but she said she wanted one too, so Yun Jin bought one as a birthday present.
