Chapter 165 Birthday Party

Lin Jiahao groaned twice and dared not say anything.

At noon, all the lights were focused on the center of the hall. A waiter came slowly towards us, pushing a small cart with a five- or six-layer cake on it.

The other guests saw this and realized that it was time to cut the cake, so they put down their wine glasses and gathered around.

Lin Jinyan and Qin Wu stood side by side. Qin Wu's hands gently covered Lin Jinyan's hands, and the two of them held the cutting knife together.

Their figures were drawn very close together under the bright lights, as if they had merged into one. Lin Jianyan could feel the warmth and strength of Qin Wu's palm, which slowly spread through his arm and spread throughout his body, gradually relaxing his tense nerves.

Qin Wuze tilted his head slightly, leaned close to Lin Jinyan's ear, and whispered softly, "Together." The voice was low and gentle.

"Um."

The knife slowly cut into the soft cake, and the aroma of cream and fruit instantly filled the air. The guests around burst into cheers and blessings.

"The Qin family really cares about him. They even hold such a grand birthday party!"

"Yeah, tsk, I can't envy you enough."

"Shut up, stop talking, nod, clap, and laugh!"

Several people suddenly shut up, forced themselves into warm smiles, and clapped their hands until they turned red.

Lin Jianyan cut the first piece of cake and gave it to Qin Wu, and then shared the rest. The cake was very big, and even if everyone got a small piece, there was still a lot left. Besides, these guests didn't come for the cake. They walked around with their small porcelain plates and didn't eat a single bite until the banquet was over.

Don't worry about them, as long as your family is happy.

As the banquet gradually drew to a close, the noise in the hall gradually faded away, leaving only a few guests still talking in low voices.

Lin Jianyan saw Zhang Xiufang and the others off, then stood at the door, following the cars that were gradually driving away until they completely disappeared from his sight.

He then slowly retracted his gaze, raised his hand to rub his aching neck, his face full of fatigue, and muttered: "Don't make it so grand next time, it's too tiring."

Qin Wu listened to this and smiled softly. He walked forward, put his arm around Lin Jinyan's shoulders, and said, "This is your first birthday in the Qin family. Everyone wants to show their appreciation for you. I see you are quite happy today, huh?"

Lin Jianyan glanced at him helplessly: "I am happy, and I am very grateful for the care that Grandpa and the others have shown towards me, but after all this socializing, I feel like my bones are about to fall apart."

Qin Wu smiled and rubbed his shoulders. "Okay, then from now on we will celebrate together as a family. We won't make it so grand anymore. Let our little Bodhisattva have a good rest on his birthday."

Lin Jianyan glanced at him sideways, "If you don't torture me, you're letting me rest."

Qin Wu stopped talking. He would not agree to this matter anyway. At most, he would be allowed to choose the attitude in the future.

"Okay, it's over, let's go back."

Lin Jianyan rolled his eyes at him.

At this time, the lobby was no longer noisy with guests, and only the staff were left cleaning up the mess in an orderly manner.

While the two were waiting for the driver to drive over, they saw Lin Jiahao and Chen Xiaohui walk out.

Lin Jianyan asked, "You two didn't leave? Why didn't I see you just now?"

Chen Xiaohui didn't know what he was thinking about, and lowered his head in embarrassment. Lin Jiahao coughed softly: "My clothes were stained by the cake just now, and Ah Hui helped me wipe it in the bathroom."

Lin Jianyan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the two of them. Lin Jiahao's clothes were indeed wrinkled, and there was a deep water stain on the corner of his clothes.

In addition, the corner of his mouth was red and there was a small cut, as if someone had bitten him without knowing the severity of the bite.

There was nothing these two people didn't understand. Lin Jinyan's lips curled up slightly in a meaningful smile, and he and Qin Wu said "Oh" in unison, the sound was long and soft, with a teasing meaning.

Qin Wu patted him on the shoulder like an experienced person and said earnestly: "Young man, don't be too impatient."

Lin Jiahao's face flushed red, and he dragged Chen Xiaohui away, "Brother, we're leaving first!"

Lin Jianyan called him from behind, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll ask the driver to take you there!"

"No, it's not on our way. We can just stop a car at the intersection!"

Lin Jiahao quickly stopped a car on the road, and the two got in, finally breathing a sigh of relief. Chen Xiaohui finally raised his head with relief, his face already flushed.

He reached out and patted Lin Jiahao beside him heavily, "Brother Yan and the others must have discovered something. I told you not to mess around!"

Lin Jiahao grabbed his hand in a flattering manner and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time."

Chen Xiaohui pulled his hand away, "You said the same thing last time. If I believe you again, I'd be a fool..."

A cough interrupted his words, and the driver in front of him said awkwardly, "Gentlemen, please stop flirting later. Where are you going? If you don't leave now, there will be a traffic jam behind you."

Lin Jiahao and Chen Xiaohui were both embarrassed and quickly gave an address. The car finally started moving forward.

…

Life returned to normal, and a month passed slowly. August 18th was Qin Wu's birthday, which was only one month away from Lin Jianyan's. This time, neither family had a big celebration, but just had a meal together and had a lively time.

That day, Lin Jianyan got off work and just walked out of the studio door, she saw two people squatting in the corner of the wall. She was surprised at first, but when she looked carefully, she found that they were acquaintances.

"Brother Liang, Uncle Huang, why are you here? How long have you been here? Why don't you go in?"

The two of them stood up quickly. Because they had been squatting for too long, their legs were numb and they staggered twice when they stood up.

Huang Liang grinned and pounded his numb legs, "No, we just got here and didn't stay long."

"Ajun, Aliang, go and drive the car over first." After saying that, Lin Jianyan quickly stepped forward to support Huang's father. Huang's father waved his hands awkwardly, "No, no, I can stand steadily."

Lin Jianyan was stunned for a moment, bent his fingers, and retracted his hand, "Why don't you come in and find me?"

"It's okay, it's okay. It would be bad if we dirty your place in this state." Huang Liang took out something wrapped in several layers from his pocket. He unfolded the handkerchief layer by layer, and inside was the card that Lin Jinyan gave him last time.

"We are here to repay you. You gave me 100,000 yuan, and we used 20,000 yuan. We still have 80,000 yuan left. We will return this money to you, and we will definitely return the rest to you when we collect it later."

Lin Jianyan did not reach out to take it. Looking at the bank card that was well protected by the clean handkerchief, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"You don't have to give it back to me. Keep it for yourselves or buy some supplements for ..."

Huang Liang stubbornly stuffed the card into Lin Jianyan's hand and said, "My mother has passed away, so we can't use this money."

"Thanks to your help, my mother was smiling during her last days and passed away peacefully."
