She could guess that her father's gift this year wouldn't be anything valuable, since he wanted to prevent her from reselling it. On the other hand, if he suddenly remembered her birthday, he probably wouldn't have had time to prepare anything special, which meant it was very likely…
Just then, a professional bodyguard carrying a cardboard box walked into the barbecue restaurant.
The ramrod-straight bodyguard was none other than Zhan Hao. And judging from the packaging, the cardboard box he was carrying definitely contained a cake.
Tang Qi sighed – sure enough, there was a car crash.
She could guess that her mother sent the cake because she was busy with her new media startup and couldn't make enough money to send something too expensive; while her father probably sent the cake simply because it was the easiest thing to do.
Zhan Hao walked up to the table, glanced around, and found that there was no space on the table to put such a large cardboard box.
Tang Qi sighed and pointed to the empty chair next to her, saying, "Put it here."
This chair, though unoccupied, already has a cardboard box on it. Similar size, similar style, only the outer packaging color is slightly different. Although not from the same cake shop, it definitely shares the same style.
Zhan Hao asked in a daze, "Miss, you bought it yourself?"
Tang Qi shook her head: "No, this was a gift from my mother. I just wanted to say, could you be a little more creative..."
Zhan Hao held the cake, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. He dared not speak ill of his boss behind his back, but whether he responded or not, he felt rather awkward.
Lu Zhe stood up, took the cake box from his hand, and placed it on top of the previous cake. Both boxes were quite sturdy, and the cakes were only slightly heavy, so they didn't collapse and remained quite stable.
Zhan Hao awkwardly touched his face and said, "Shall I leave now?"
Tang Qi nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhan Hao quickly evacuated the scene.
Lu Zhe sat back down and looked at the young lady across the table—her expression was a bit complicated, like she had finally gotten to play the long-awaited 2077 game but found that it was not quite what she expected.
So Lu Zhe said, "On the bright side, we won't have to make breakfast for the next few days."
Tang Qi glanced at the two cakes stacked together and couldn't help but sigh, "Is it the same thing for breakfast every day? It's so tiring..."
Xue Xiaodie teased from the side, "I can add salt, a little pepper and some scallions for you. Is it still too greasy?"
Tang Qi was amused and couldn't help but complain, "What kind of culinary disaster is this?!"
