In the brightly lit house, Wen Hangxing closed his eyes and made a wish at Lin Yitong's urging. His long eyelashes cast shadows in front of his eyes, adding a touch of tenderness to his sharp eyebrows.
Wen Hangxing muttered to himself, "I don't believe in fate. Life is full of twists and turns, and we must firmly grasp it in our own hands. But if there is a way, please forgive my ignorance and bless Ms. Lin with peace and safety, and accompany me for three thousand miles."
After that, Wen Hangxing opened his eyes and met Lin Yitong's smiling eyes.
"What did you wish for?"
Ms. Lin asked gossipingly.
Wen Hangxing thought about it and was about to speak when he saw Ms. Lin say with an annoyed look on her face, "No, the wish won't work if I say it out loud. Let's forget it."
Although Wen Hangxing did not take this statement seriously, he still followed Ms. Lin's wishes and did not continue.
The second step was to divide the cake. When Wen Hangxing was cutting the cake, he was surrounded by a circle of familiar people. The other servants had already been ordered to rest. He felt warm in his heart, but did not notice Lin Yitong quietly leaving the crowd.
Just when he took the first piece of cake and subconsciously wanted to give it to Ms. Lin, he couldn't find her.
Wen Hangxing paused and put the cake on the table.
The people around him seemed not to notice his actions, and still had joy on their faces.
Not long after, Lin Yitong came out of the kitchen with a tray in her hand.
She walked straight up to Wen Hangxing and said casually, "Here, longevity noodles."
His throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton. Wen Hangxing had a bold guess in his mind, but he instinctively felt that he was overthinking it.
A hint of caution crossed his usually rebellious face, and he asked hesitantly, "Did you...make this yourself?"
Lin Yitang glanced at the noodles in his hand and said a little embarrassedly: "Is it already so obvious?"
Then, half complaining, half sighing, he said, "I spent a whole day learning from Aunt Wang today. This is considered a good result after many experiments. As expected, I have a conflict with the kitchen. I will never be able to light up the skill point of cooking in this lifetime."
Wen Hangxing saw the distress on her face, as if it had been burned. Her slightly negative and depressed look made him feel uncomfortable, so he said, "It's already good."
Afraid that Lin Yitang wouldn't believe him, Wen Hangxing emphasized, "Really, I like it very much."
This sentence actually made it difficult for Young Master Wen. Children of wealthy families have always been good at concealing their emotions. The first lesson they learned was not to show their joy or anger in front of others. This was the first time he expressed his emotions so bluntly. Not to mention Jiang Sui and others who heard him speak, even Wen Hangxing himself was stunned for a few seconds when he said this.
Lin Yitang didn't understand the ghostly thoughts in the minds of the people around her. She cheered up when she heard this and threatened, "You're smart, but if you find it unbearable, you have to eat it all. I worked so hard to make this."
Wen Hangxing: "Yes, yes, Ms. Lin."
Wen Hangxing really did what he said and ate up all the longevity noodles, which did not look great and did not taste the best, completely losing his usual picky demeanor.
Lin Yitang went upstairs with satisfaction.
Before going upstairs, he left a message, "You three can have some fun tonight. If you don't want to go to self-study tomorrow morning, ask Uncle Liu to help you ask for a day off. But please take care of your health."
Wen Zeli, who should have been the one with the highest status in the family, said nothing about it throughout the whole process, as if he was letting her arrange it. Even when he heard such a behavior that was unbearable for ordinary parents, he did not say a word of "no".
No one else thought of asking for the opinion of the male host, and seemed to tacitly agree that Lin Yitang could make the decision.
The housekeeper and Aunt Wang were also old, so they said goodbye and planned to go back.
There were only three little ones left in the living room, and yes, there were a bunch of gifts.
That's right, under Lin Yitong's leadership, everyone prepared a gift for Wen Hangxing. Since they were all well-off, the gifts were either small and expensive or large and expensive.
Wen Hangxing's heart was still beating wildly at this moment, as if it was floating on the gorgeous clouds in the sky, unable to reach the bottom.
Jiang Sui and Yan Junqi saw that he was in a very good mood at the moment, and they had an idea in their minds. This was a perfect opportunity to make him face the deception they had deceived him tonight and improve his favorability.
The two looked at each other and made a decision instantly.
Jiang Sui said softly, "I haven't even said happy birthday to Hangxing yet. What Aunt Lin did today amazed us and we feel inferior."
Yan Junqi followed closely behind and said, "Indeed, Aunt Lin...Aunt Lin is so kind to you. She even personally prepared longevity noodles for you."
As soon as he mentioned this, the three of them fell silent.
Among all the wealthy families in Changcheng, there are only a handful who can achieve what Lin Yitang has achieved. Most of them just provide an idea and then instruct the servants to do it. Due to the limitations of their status, it is difficult for a biological mother and son to achieve what Lin Yitang has achieved, let alone a stepmother and son.
A few years ago, the story of the lady of the Yun family who took the initiative to choose a birthday gift for her stepson spread throughout the circle for a year about her deep mother-son love, which made most people jealous. But tonight, Lin Yitang had directly reached a higher level.
If she is willing to cook for him personally just to gain the reputation of being a virtuous woman, it is so obvious whether she is sincere or not. Lin Yitang really treats him well from the bottom of her heart.
Everyone in Tinglanting should know this.
Jiang Suiyi laughed with an ambiguous tone, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Hangxing is really lucky."
Yan Junqi was much more obvious, showing his jealousy openly, "Why do all the good things happen to you?"
Wen Hangxing listened to their sour words and didn't care about their previous deception. He replied in a good mood, "It can't be helped. This young master was born with a good life."
In fact, he didn't believe this sentence before. Wen Hangxing thought that although he was born in the Wen family and was the prince of the Wen family who seemed glorious to outsiders, he was not loved by his father. His rough past and the cold parasitic disease were waiting to drag him into hell anytime and anywhere when he relaxed. How could he be considered to have a good life?
He never thought that one day he would be able to use this sentence. The world is really unpredictable, so he will reluctantly believe it a little.
Yan Junqi murmured, "I don't know if Aunt Lin would be willing to make me a bowl of longevity noodles on my birthday."
When Jiang Sui heard his words, his eyes flashed, and he seemed a little distracted.
Wen Hangxing sneered and interrupted their fantasy, "Stop dreaming, move the gifts back to the house."
Yan Junqi said dissatisfiedly: "Why? How can you give someone a sword and then ask for help! It's not a gift for us."
"Then please, Master Yan, go home and live tomorrow."
Wen Hangxing's expression remained calm, as if he was not bothered by his words.
Yan Junqi's face turned green, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he had to go up and help reluctantly.
