The crowd automatically split into two rows as if by unspoken agreement, and Lu Yanting and Xu Jingyan walked slowly side by side through the middle.
"I knew it! How could Brother Yanting not come to such an important event as Sister Jingyan's birthday?" Cheng Siyan said, but her eyes secretly glanced at Shi Nan not far away.
Indeed, Cheng Siyan had noticed Wan Qing and Shi Nan and Qiu Mang the moment they entered the room.
She looked at Wan Qing's hand on Shi Nan's shoulder and a meaningful smile appeared on her face. Humph! This Shi Nan is just after a man's money. Wan Qing can easily get this woman by spending a little money.
Today, she was determined to show Yan Ting the true colors of Shi Nan and make him realize that Shi Nan was a vain and promiscuous woman!
However, what puzzled her was that Shi Nan seemed to remain extremely calm throughout, only slightly startled when she saw Lu Yanting, and then showed no further expression.
"Yanting, here's a piece of cake for you. Don't you love strawberries? This piece has the most strawberries on it, so I saved it especially for you." Xu Jingyan took a piece of cake from the table and handed it to Lu Yanting.
Lu Yanting reached out and took it, his expression calm.
Qiu Mang frowned slightly. Such a big man, liking to eat strawberries? Qiu Mang felt something was off, but then he remembered the strawberry mousse the man had asked for last time, and it all seemed to make sense.
“Here, Hua Xiao, this piece is for you. We are all the same age, so I’ll give you this piece of cake that says 27!” Xu Jingyan always had a gentle and proper smile on her face.
Hua Xiao raised an eyebrow, "You want me to eat 27? Are you thinking about turning 18?"
Xu Jingyan was taken aback, then smiled gently, "Is the intention obvious?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and someone joked, "Who ordered this cake? How could they be so blind? Jingyan is clearly 18 years old, so why is the number 27 on the cake?"
Cheng Siyan blushed, feeling a little embarrassed. "Sister Jingyan, it's all my fault."
Xu Jingyan chuckled softly, "Siyan, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously!"
Han Feng had just finished cutting the cake when he looked at Xu Jingyan with a wronged expression. "Jingyan, you can't just think about the two of them, can you? What about mine? What about mine?"
Xu Jingyan looked at her with doting eyes and took out a piece of cake from the side. "Don't worry, how could I forget you? I saved this for you a long time ago. You love chocolate, and this piece has the most chocolate!"
Han Feng then flashed two rows of white teeth, "Thank you, Sister Jingyan!"
After the cake was divided among the three people, Xu Jingyan took another piece and gave it to Cheng Siyan, saying, "Siyan, this piece is for you!"
"Alright, everyone can take the rest themselves!" Xu Jingyan said, looking at everyone.
Cheng Siyan looked at the cake in her hand with a happy expression. Sister Jingyan had given the cake to Lu Yanting, Hua Xiao and Han Feng separately, and now she had given it to her again!
She knew that she was different in Sister Jingyan's heart!
Wan Qing stepped forward, took two pieces of cake, and gave one to Shi Nan and the other to Qiu Mang.
Shi Nan frowned and asked, "Now that the cake is cut, can we leave?"
Wan Qing paused, looked down at her, and said, "Leave? We've only just begun."
After saying that, he lowered his head and whispered in Shi Nan's ear, "If you want me to stop bothering you, then tonight, until the birthday party is over, you have to listen to me, understand?"
Shi Nan could only nod.
Wan Qing was very satisfied with her reaction. When he looked up, he met Cheng Siyan's eyes, who was not far away. Cheng Siyan nodded to him, indicating that he could start taking action.
Wan Qing understood and immediately put his hand on Shi Nan's waist, affectionately leading her forward.
Shi Nan was stunned. She looked at Wan Qing warily, but Wan Qing smiled and led her forward.
"Sister Nan!" Qiu Mang prepared to follow.
"Sister-in-law, wait here for now. We'll call you if we need anything!" Wan Qing turned to look at Qiu Mang.
After saying that, Wan Qing gently pinched Shi Nan's waist, and Shi Nan understood what he meant.
"Amang, it's alright, you don't need to come over."
Qiu Mang could only watch helplessly as the two figures walked away.
"Mr. Wan, you've arrived too!" Cheng Siyan smiled as she looked at the two people who were walking over.
"Miss Cheng," Wan Qing said politely.
Shi Nan remembered the woman in front of her. This woman had appeared when she was chatting with Lu Yanting last time. Her woman's intuition told her that this woman was not someone to be trifled with.
"And who is this?" Cheng Siyan pretended not to recognize Shi Nan.
“Oh, this is my girlfriend, Shi Nan,” Wan Qing said.
The moment the word "girlfriend" was uttered, Shi Nan felt goosebumps all over her body, but having promised Wan Qing, she could only force a smile.
“Girlfriend…” Cheng Siyan stared at Shi Nan, repeating the three words over and over, looking at Shi Nan with a playful expression.
A moment later, she waved to Xu Jingyan and called out, "Sister Jingyan! Over here, a friend of mine has come all the way to celebrate your birthday!"
Xu Jingyan was singing with a few girls when she heard Cheng Siyan's voice. She turned her head and looked over, then smiled and handed the microphone to a girl in a long black dress next to her.
Xu Jingyan got up, walked to Lu Yanting's side, and whispered a few words in his ear. Lu Yanting then got up and followed her over.
Shi Nan watched the two slowly approach. Although she didn't know what Cheng Siyan wanted to do, she had a bad feeling.
"Siyan, quickly introduce me to your new friend!" Xu Jingyan's voice was gentle yet warm.
Cheng Siyan gave a brief introduction to both parties. When she mentioned that Shi Nan was Wan Qing's girlfriend, she secretly glanced at Lu Yanting, who was standing to the side.
When Xu Jingyan heard Shi Nan's name, she immediately realized something. She looked at Cheng Siyan, who raised an eyebrow at her.
Lu Yanting remained as cold as ice, and Shi Nan's appearance did not cause any ripples.
"Okay, I'll remember you all. I'm very grateful that you came today." Xu Jingyan smiled and extended her hand.
"Ms. Xu, you're too kind. It's our honor to have the opportunity to meet you!" Wan Qing extended his hand and shook hands with Xu Jingyan.
Xu Jingyan then looked at Shi Nan, her eyes curving into crescent shapes, "Miss Shi, you are really very beautiful."
Out of politeness, Shi Nan quickly reached out and shook her hand lightly before pulling away.
Xu Jingyan smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"Hey, I think I saw there were three of you. Where's the other person? Should we call her over?" Cheng Siyan asked.
Her idea was simple: the girl who had just arrived was also dressed as a waitress, probably a colleague of Shi Nan's who had come to join in the fun. She could take this opportunity to humiliate Shi Nan in front of her colleague.
Shi Nan glanced at Lu Yanting standing to the side, thought for a moment, and said, "No need, she doesn't really like to join in the fun."
