Chapter 374 She made a ridiculous wish
Qiao Xi came to her senses and dodged to the side.
There was a loud bang and the wine glass fell to the ground.
It turned out that a waiter accidentally hit the champagne tower!
Hundreds of glasses of champagne stacked into a pyramid were shattered all over the floor, and the expensive champagne also exuded a faint smell.
The hem of Qiao Xi's skirt was a little wet, but it was not a big deal.
The waiter was panicked: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Huo. I didn't pay attention. I'm sorry!" It seemed like someone pushed him just now. How could a worker like him afford to pay 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 pursuing accountability, the host should not lose composure in front of the guests. They have all received training.
Qiao Xi's temper was not bad: "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 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 should not have made such a big mistake."
She looked Qiao Xi up and down and found that she had no injuries on her body, so she felt relieved.
"I'm not injured, so don't make a big deal about it." Qiao Xi looked at the waiters who were hurriedly picking up the broken glass and said, "Jiaojiao, it's okay."
She had worked many part-time jobs, including 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 requested it on short notice, and the cake shop had dozens of people working overtime to make it. There was even a surprise after the cake was finished."
"What surprise?"
"It's not a surprise anymore. Anyway, my sister-in-law must like it."
Qiao Xi did not ask 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 a single person like me." Huo Sijiao joked.
Qiao Xi asked, "Jiaojiao, you've grown up like this, don't you have anyone you like?"
"I won't tell 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 the deck and everywhere that the host was ready to cut the cake. This was the first time I had seen such a big cake.
Fondant cakes are generally very delicate and enhance the texture of the cake.
But it tasted just average, or even unpalatable.
In a banquet like this, it has a sense of ceremony.
The waiters lit birthday candles around the castle. Du Ya took out a diamond crown and put it on Qiao Xi. "I don't know what gift to give 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 Du Ya hopes Qiao Xi has one too.
"Thank you, Mom."
She really enjoyed the treatment of a princess here at Du Ya.
"The birthday star can make a wish now."
The candles are lit and the flames flicker.
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 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 somewhere in the world, and the bad news from many years ago was just a dream.
There was some moisture in Qiao Xi's eyes, a sour taste in her throat, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
God must have thought she was greedy and made things difficult for her by making such 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 Wei pushed her away and said, "Birthday wishes won't come true once they're spoken out loud. Don't mix them up."
"Sun Weimeng! I'm talking to my sister-in-law, what does it have to do with you?"
Sun Weimeng snorted coldly, and the two of them were fighting like children.
Qiao Xi looked at them and said, "Stop arguing. 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 do it together."
There was a smile in Huo Xingzhou's eyes. He held her hand with his big hand, and they both gently cut off a corner of the cake.
"Happy birthday, Qiao Xi!"
"Happy birthday! Mrs. Huo!"
"oh!"
The guests cheered and sent their blessings.
The Liu family looked at them with envy in their eyes. They were obviously the closest people, so close to each other, but the distance between their hearts was so far away. Xu Yunye's eyes were full of loneliness.
She gave up the birthday given by the Liu family.
And chose September.
Wouldn't you also like to be born on the same day as him?
Liu Yi noticed that he was not feeling well, so he came to his side and whispered to comfort him: "Cousin, I don't think my cousin has any ill intentions towards us. In the entire Liu family, the person she least wants to acknowledge is my aunt."
Yang Yuerong was playing with the cub in her arms and saw everything.
The breakthrough point for the Liu family is Rong Bao, who has no killing power in his arms.
She looked at the two brats and said, "Learn from me. Don't be too 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, "Dr. 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 makes him very cute.
Qiao Xi couldn't refuse a child who couldn't even speak, and said, "A child this young can't eat cake."
Yang Yuerong smiled gently and said, "I just came here to ask for a good fortune. How about Doctor Qiao, hold the child? Let him also get some of your blessings."
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 had rescued from the brink of death, was now nestling warmly in her arms.
The Huo family saw through Yang Yuerong's tricks, but others didn't know why she wanted to please a younger person, and felt that the Liu family seemed to praise Mrs. Huo too much.
"Mrs. Huo likes children so much, when will you give birth to one yourself?"
"With Mr. Huo and Madam Huo being so good-looking, their children will surely be very good-looking too."
"Give birth to one!"
Even Du Ya 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 was not opposed to having a child, and just let it go.
Yang Yuerong held the child and said, "It seems that our Rongbao really likes me. He never lets strangers hold him, but he is especially affectionate to you. Rongbao, is it because I saved you that you always remember it?"
Her face was full of maternal radiance, and Qiao Xi actually felt a little envious. If she had had such a loving mother since she was a child...
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, several loud noises were heard on the deck outside the banquet hall.
Attracted the guests' attention.
