"It’s okay if we can’t finish it." Huo Jincheng placed another chicken leg into Lu Xingzhi’s bowl. "Have a chicken leg."
Lu Xingzhi buried her head in eating, a happy expression on her face. Where did Huo Jincheng find this chef!
These dishes had little seasoning, preserving the ingredients’ natural flavors, yet how could they taste so good.
After eating two full bowls of rice, Lu Xingzhi was already full, but she couldn’t bear to waste food, so she ate a few more bites.
Finally, she regretfully put down her chopsticks and said to Huo Jincheng, "Next time, don’t order so many dishes. The two of us can’t finish them."
"Alright! I’ll order less next time." Huo Jincheng knew that today’s dishes were all Lu Xingzhi’s favorites, so he ordered them all.
The waiter took the plates away, cleaned the table, and then brought a pot of floral tea.
"The chef here is a descendant of an imperial chef, passed down through generations. When it came to his generation, he has the skills but couldn’t make them widespread. He felt frustrated, and for me to encounter this, you could say it was his luck as well as mine."
Huo Jincheng knew Lu Xingzhi was curious about this and explained it to her.
"Or perhaps it’s my luck?" Lu Xingzhi felt it must be her good fortune, otherwise how could she eat such delicious food.
"Yes, it’s because of our Zhi Zhi’s luck." Googlᴇ search N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Huo Jincheng chatted with Lu Xingzhi for a while, when suddenly, the lights in the hall all went out, making it dark.
"What’s going on? Is it a power outage?" Lu Xingzhi didn’t think much of it, looking around.
Then she heard someone singing a birthday song and pushing a cake towards her.
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to Lu Xingzhi!"
"Is this also prepared for me?" Lu Xingzhi was a bit surprised. This kind of scene often seen on TV actually appeared in her life.
"What else? Today is your birthday. Zhi Zhi, Happy Birthday!" Huo Jincheng smiled and said, "Make a wish first!"
"The first wish, I hope the Huo Family stays healthy and safe."
"The second wish, I hope for world peace."
"The third wish..." Lu Xingzhi clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, made the last wish, then opened her eyes, and blew out the candles.
"What wish did you make?" Huo Jincheng asked.
Huo Jincheng didn’t press for more and handed her the cake knife, "Come, our birthday star, cut the cake!"
As Lu Xingzhi started cutting the cake, Huo Jincheng walked up to her, took off her old necklace, and put a pendant from his pocket around her neck.
Feeling the cool object on her neck, Lu Xingzhi looked down at it, what is this...
"Is this imperial green jadeite?" Lu Xingzhi looked at Huo Jincheng in surprise. This type of imperial green is priceless, even though the gourd on her neck wasn’t large, its value exceeded ten million.
"Why did you give me so many gifts? I’ve been receiving your gifts all day."
Of course, such a large piece of jadeite isn’t just for making a pendant. He only had a piece cut for this purpose. He also made a bracelet to give to his mother Wen Ruxue.
