Xiao Qinqin sat down on the sofa next to Song Yian.
"Yian, I asked you to go out and buy a cake, why did you go out for the whole afternoon?"
Song Yian stared at the TV and didn't even look at Xiao Qinqin.
"I'm waiting for it to be made, so it will definitely take a little longer."
Xiao Qinqin looked at Song Yian, who was thirty years old, tall and strong. Time seemed to have left no mark on his face. He still looked the same as when she first met him, except that his eyebrows and eyes had a hint of maturity and stability.
Back then, she fell in love with Song Yian at first sight among a group of soldiers and fell in love with him ever since.
When Xiao Qinqin first heard that Song Yian had a girlfriend, she was sad for a long time. When she finally let it go, Song Yian broke up with his girlfriend.
With the encouragement of her best friend, she bravely pursued Song Yian.
Although Song Yian didn't like her at first, later, after discussions between the two families, she finally got married to Song Yian as she wished.
Over the years after their marriage, Song Yian treated her quite well, and she had the final say in the family.
Song Yian interrupted Xiao Qinqin's thoughts and said, "Mom and sister-in-law are still busy in the kitchen.
If you come out alone to watch TV, won’t people gossip about you?
You keep saying you want to lose weight, but if you work harder, you can lose weight, right?
After Song Yian finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Qinqin's belly. Xiao Qinqin looked down at herself and it seemed that her belly had grown bigger.
Wait, she just saw disgust in Song Yian's eyes.
Xiao Qinqin's eyelids began to twitch. Although she didn't believe what Li Qiumei said, she felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.
Xiao Qinqin, who was flustered, did not go into the kitchen, but went to the balcony to calm herself down.
"Even my mother-in-law said that Lin Zhiya is a good person, and Li Qiumei is the vain woman who married Cheng Zhiqian by climbing into his bed.
I can't let Li Qiumei's influence influence me and fall into her scheme to sow discord and wrongly accuse Lin Zhiya."
Thinking of this, Xiao Qinqin calmed down and was about to enter the living room when she saw Song Yian and Lin Zhiya talking.
Xiao Qinqin's heart started beating wildly again, and she quickly turned around and hid back on the balcony.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since Song Yian smiled at her, but when he faced Lin Zhiya just now, he smiled so happily.
For a moment, Xiao Qinqin's heart was in turmoil again. She comforted herself: "Lin Zhiya and she are good friends. She would never do this."
"Qinqin, it's time to eat." Liao Min shouted to Xiao Qinqin.
"Hey, here I come." Xiao Qinqin took a deep breath and shook her head, throwing away all the weird thoughts in her mind, and then walked into the living room.
Li Qiumei prepared a table full of delicious dishes, and Lu Hao came on time.
Mr. Song teased him, "You're not on time for work, but you're more punctual than anyone else for eating."
Lu Hao said with a playful smile: "I heard that sister-in-law Qiu Mei is cooking today, so I rushed back to feast on her."
As usual, Mr. Song said a few words to celebrate National Day and then announced the start of the meal.
Li Qiumei felt very happy when she saw that the old man never mentioned Lin Zhiya's birthday, and then looked at Lin Zhiya's face full of disappointment.
Everyone ate and talked, and praised Li Qiumei's cooking skills.
Lin Zhiya couldn't help but look at Wu Shuhua and Xiao Qinqin, the two of them sitting there eating in silence.
Didn't the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law say that today was her birthday party? Why didn't they say anything?
Li Qiumei couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she saw Lin Zhiya frequently looking at Wu Shuhua and Xiao Qinle.
Humph, didn’t Wu Shuhua and her mother-in-law not believe what she said?
Then why hasn't anyone mentioned that today is Lin Zhiya's birthday?
Wu Shuhua was a little conflicted. She had originally planned to give Lin Zhiya a surprise on her birthday today and adopt her as her goddaughter.
But now, she subconsciously felt that it would be better to wait until next time.
Wu Shuhua told herself, "Just based on Li Qiumei's reputation for gossiping behind people's backs, her words can't be trusted."
Just as Wu Shuhua was about to speak, Song Yian spoke first.
"Qinqin, you asked me to buy a cake today because it's Dr. Lin's birthday, right?
Come, I'll toast to Dr. Lin and wish you a happy birthday!"
The tension in Xiao Qinqin's heart broke. Two months ago, when she celebrated her birthday, Song Yian didn't even come home, let alone wish her a happy birthday.
She glanced at Lin Zhiya, who was standing up confidently and clinking glasses with Song Yian.
Xiao Qinqin suddenly felt like she was letting a wolf into the house.
Seeing Song Yian speak, Song Guangping also said a few words of encouragement to Lin Zhiya.
Wu Shuhua saw that Lin Zhiya was looking at her with eyes full of grievance, so she poured Lin Zhiya a glass of wine and said, "Today is Xiaoya's birthday. Let's all wish her a happy birthday together."
Lin Zhiya's heart finally settled down. It seemed that Mrs. Song did not ignore her.
Li Qiumei picked up a large shrimp and gave it to Lin Zhiya: "Happy birthday!"
She knew Lin Zhiya was allergic to seafood, so she did it on purpose.
Lin Zhiya subconsciously glanced at Xiao Qinqin. In the past, Xiao Qinqin always spoke up for her at such times: "Xiaoya, you're allergic to seafood. Give it to me."
Now, Xiao Qinqin had a gloomy face and looked a little absent-minded.
"I heard that Dr. Lin is allergic to seafood. Is that true?" Song Yian came to the rescue in time.
Lin Zhiya nodded: "Yes."
She turned sideways and smiled at Li Qiumei with an apologetic look on her face: "Zhiqian is the one who loves seafood. I have been allergic to seafood since I was a child."
