Chapter 374 She made a ridiculous wish
Qiao Xi came to her senses and dodged sideways.
There was a loud bang and the wine glasses poured down.
It turned out that a waiter accidentally bumped into the champagne tower!
Hundreds of glasses of champagne stacked into a pyramid were shattered on the ground, and the precious champagne also exuded a faint scent.
The hem of Qiao Xi's skirt was a little wet, but it was nothing serious.
The waiter panicked: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Huo. I didn't pay attention. I'm sorry!" It seemed like someone pushed him just now. How could he, a worker, afford to compensate for such expensive champagne?
Such a small incident occurred at the banquet, and more than a dozen waiters rushed forward to clean up the mess.
Rather than holding someone accountable, the host should not be allowed to lose composure in front of the guests. They have all received training.
Qiao Xi's temper was also good: "It's okay, be more careful next time."
"thank you."
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the young lady of the Huo family was indeed as kind-hearted as the rumors said.
Huo Sijiao frowned and walked up to her with some dissatisfaction and said, "Sister-in-law, you are too kind. They have all been strictly trained and such a big mistake should not have occurred."
She looked Qiao Xi up and down and found that she had no wounds on her body, so she felt relieved.
"I'm not injured, so let's not make a big deal out of this." Qiao Xi looked at the waiters who were hurriedly picking up the glass fragments and said, "Jiaojiao, it's okay."
She had worked many part-time jobs before, such as serving dishes and pouring water in restaurants, and had been troubled by many customers.
So now we are more tolerant towards them.
"All right."
Jiaojiao lifted her wet skirt and said, "Do you want to change clothes?"
"No need, it's time to cut the cake." Qiao Xi looked at the castle cake in the middle of the banquet hall.
Huo Sijiao laughed when she heard it, "Do you know how difficult this cake is to make? My brother asked for it last-minute, and the cake shop had dozens of people working overtime to rush it out. After the cake is finished, there's a surprise."
"What surprise?"
"It's not a surprise if I tell you. Anyway, it must be what my sister-in-law likes."
Qiao Xi didn't ask any further questions. She smiled and saw Huo Xingzhou walking towards her. He naturally put his arm around her waist and pinched her fingertips with his other hand: "Are you not scared?"
Qiao Xi shook her head, "No."
"Please stop showing off your affection in front of me and bullying me, a single guy." Huo Sijiao joked.
Qiao Xi asked, "Jiaojiao, you've grown up so big, don't you have someone you like?"
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to entertain the guests and cut the cake."
“It’s time to cut the cake!”
The waiters also began to inform the guests on deck and elsewhere that the host was ready to cut the cake. This was the first time I had seen such a large cake.
Fondant cakes are generally very delicate and enhance the texture of the cake.
But it tastes very ordinary, or even not tasty.
In a banquet like this, it creates a sense of ritual.
The waiters lit birthday candles around the castle. Du Juan took out a diamond crown and put it on Qiao Xi. "I didn't know what gift to get you, so I bought you a small crown. Xixi, every girl is a princess, and I hope you are too."
Many favored girls have a small crown, and Dujuan hopes Qiao Xi has one too.
"Thank you, Mom."
She really enjoyed the treatment of a princess here at Dujuan.
"The birthday boy can make a wish now."
The candles were lit and the flames flickered.
Qiao Xi stood in front of the cake and gently closed her eyes.
Many images flashed through her mind, but unfortunately she only had three birthday wishes.
First, she hopes that her family and friends around her can be healthy and safe, and live a worry-free life.
Second, she wanted to be with Huo Xingzhou forever.
third……
A person flashed through Qiao Xi's mind, and she wanted to make a wish that would never come true.
I hope Ayi is not dead yet, but is just living in some corner of the world, and the bad news from many years ago was just a dream.
Qiao Xi's eyes were a little moist, her throat felt sour, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
God must have thought she was greedy and was making things difficult for her by giving her these unfulfilled wishes.
She is happy enough now!
Qiao Xi slowly opened her eyes.
Huo Sijiao asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what wish did you make?"
Sun Weimeng pushed her away and said, "Birthday wishes won't come true once they're spoken out loud. Don't get involved."
"Sun Weimeng! I'm talking to my sister-in-law, what's it got to do with you?"
Sun Weimeng snorted coldly. The two of them were fighting like children.
Qiao Xi looked at them and said, "Stop bickering. I won't tell you."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes showed warmth, and he handed the cake knife to Qiao Xi: "Cut the cake first."
"Um."
Qiao Xi held the cake knife and looked at Huo Xingzhou tenderly: "Let's go together."
There was a smile in Huo Xingzhou's eyes. He held her hand with his big hand, and they both gently moved down and cut off a corner of the cake.
"Qiao Xi, happy birthday!"
"Happy birthday! Madam Huo!"
"oh!"
The guests cheered and offered their blessings.
The Liu family looked at them with envy. They were obviously the closest relatives, so close, but the distance between their hearts was so far away. Xu Yunye's eyes were filled with loneliness.
She abandoned the birthday given by the Liu family.
And chose September.
Wouldn't you also want to be born on the same day as him?
Liu Yi noticed that something was wrong with him, so he came over to him and whispered to him, "Cousin, I don't think my cousin has any ill will towards us. In the entire Liu family, the person she least wants to acknowledge is my aunt."
Yang Yuerong was teasing the cub in her arms, and she could see everything.
The breakthrough point for the Liu family is Rong Bao, who has no lethality in his arms.
She looked at the two brats and said, "Learn from me. Don't be so direct. You should be more roundabout. I have no feelings for you, so why should I recognize you?"
The two young men didn't know what she meant until they saw her holding the child and walking up to Qiao Xi and saying, "Doctor Qiao, I'm here to ask for a piece of cake on behalf of our Rong Bao."
The child in her arms was very cooperative, looking at Qiao Xi and babbling with a smile.
He hasn't grown any teeth yet, which is so cute.
Qiao Xi couldn't refuse a child who couldn't even speak, so she said, "A child this young can't eat cake."
Yang Yuerong smiled gently and said, "I'm just here to ask for a good fortune. How about Doctor Qiao, hold the child? Let him share in your blessing."
She stuffed the child into Qiao Xi's arms without saying a word.
The human cub was very sensible and hugged Qiao Xi's neck with his chubby hands.
Qiao Xi's heart melted.
Such a small and sweet little cub, the one she rescued from the gates of hell, is now nestled warmly in her arms.
The Huo family saw through Yang Yuerong's tricks, but others didn't understand why she wanted to please a younger generation and felt that the Liu family seemed to be praising Mrs. Huo too much.
"Mrs. Huo loves children so much, when will she give birth to one herself?"
"With Mr. Huo and the young lady being so good-looking, their children will surely be very good-looking too."
"Give birth to one!"
Even Dujuan said it was time to have a baby.
Qiao Xi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she held the child for a while before returning it to Yang Yuerong. She had no objection to having a child, and everything went with the flow.
Yang Yuerong held the child and said, "It seems that our Rongbao really likes me. He never lets strangers hold him, but he is particularly affectionate to you. Rongbao, is it because I saved you that you always remember it?"
Her face was filled with maternal radiance, and Qiao Xi actually felt a little envious. If only she had had such a loving mother since childhood...
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, several loud noises were heard on the deck outside the banquet hall.
Attracted the attention of guests.
