Wen Xiao’ai curiously went downstairs and stood at the staircase looking at the empty hall.
"Xiaoguai." Jun Moyan’s voice sounded.
Wen Xiao’ai looked in the direction of the dining area, following the sound, only to see Jun Moyan standing at the entrance looking at her.
Wen Xiao’ai immediately ran to him, approached him, and smilingly asked, "Jun Moyan, is this bought for me?"
Even though she knew, Wen Xiao’ai liked to ask anyway.
"Do you like it?" Jun Moyan raised his hand to touch her little head. Seeing her mood seemed improved, he was happy too.
"I like it, there’s so much delicious food." She hadn’t realized that food could be arranged as beautifully as flowers.
"I knew you would like it."
"The meal is ready, let’s eat first, and then we can eat more later."
Wen Xiao’ai nodded and went into the dining area. Unlike the usual lavish dinners, the long dining table had only half the usual amount, and it didn’t look very appealing.
What caught Wen Xiao’ai’s attention, however, was something else on the table.
Wen Xiao’ai stared at the exquisite cake on the table, her eyes fixed on it, unable to move. Normally, she only bought small cakes that disappeared in a few bites, never enough to satisfy her.
"Come and sit here." Jun Moyan pulled out a chair and looked at Wen Xiao’ai.
As Wen Xiao’ai moved towards Jun Moyan’s side, her eyes were glued to the cake.
"Jun Moyan, is that a cake?" Wen Xiao’ai was a bit unsure.
Jun Moyan usually had strict rules, allowing her to eat more but never too much of one thing, especially not cake from the desserts.
But today, he’d bought her so much, and even put the cake on the dining table. And now it was evening, which was very strange.
"Yes." Jun Moyan was amused by Wen Xiao’ai’s greedy look. He reached out to take the flowers from her hand, placed them on the table, and pushed her into the chair.
"Can I eat that?" She pointed her little finger at the cake on the table.
"Why did you buy me so much delicious food and such a big cake all at once?"
"It’s your birthday today, of course, you should have a big cake." Jun Moyan sat down next to her.
"My birthday?!" Wen Xiao’ai instinctively widened her eyes, looking surprised.
Wen Xiao’ai knocked on her own head, trying to remember, "It seems so, I totally forgot today was my birthday."
She really forgot it was her birthday today.
"No worries, I’ve remembered it for you."
"Jun Moyan, you’re so good, I didn’t even remember, and you remembered it just after I mentioned it once."
Luckily Jun Moyan was here, otherwise, she would have completely forgotten.
She had always been looking forward to the day she came of age, a very important day indeed. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novèlfire.net
Yet she couldn’t really feel why this birthday was more significant than usual. It was Brother Ye Qi who kept saying how important this day was.
He also said that after she came of age, she would be more than just his Xiao’ai and Princess.
If not Brother Ye Qi’s Xiao’ai and Princess, then what else could she be?
The Clan Leader also said they would throw her a particularly grand birthday banquet, inviting lots of people, and that something important would be announced that day, something about her and Brother Ye Qi. So she kept looking forward to it.
But she hadn’t expected to celebrate her birthday in the Human Realm in the end, with neither Brother Ye Qi nor the Clan Leader around.
Thinking about Ye Qi, Wen Xiao’ai felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Looking at that beautiful big cake, she had never felt such a longing to go home.
