Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xie Wan came back from greeting other guests and found Cheng Xiao sitting alone while Lu Xiu was chatting happily with Cheng Ling at the other table.
She quickly walked over and touched Cheng Xiao’s hand.
“Xiao Xiao, why are you sitting here alone? We are all creating opportunities for you and Master Lu Tonight. You have to seize this opportunity!”
Cheng Xiao looked in the direction of Cheng Ling with hatred in her eyes.
“But Master Lu and the Second Young Master Lu are talking to that b*tch now!”
Xie Wan glanced over. They were indeed talking all the time, and they seemed to be very happy.
Master Lu smiled. He didn’t look serious when talking to them at all as if he was very familiar with Cheng Ling.
She calmed herself down.
“Master Lu must have gone there because of his younger brother. You have to show up more actively to brush up on your presence so that Master Lu will remember you. Go quickly, there’s still a seat at their table. You sit there, and the four of you can form two pairs.”
Cheng Xiao nodded, then took a glass of wine and walked over.
“Is it convenient for me to sit here?”
Cheng Xiao put on an innocent expression and stood in front of the three of them.
Cheng Ling turned her head away. Lu Qi was not familiar with her at all, so he did not speak.
Thus, the decision was on Lu Xiu.
After all, it was Old Master Cheng’s birthday party today, so Lu Xiu could not refuse her. Thus he nodded.
“Miss Cheng, you may sit if you want to.”
“Thank you, Brother Xiu.”
When Cheng Xiao first used this salutation, Cheng Ling and Lu Qi weren’t around.
When the two of them heard this, they spat out the drinks in their mouths simultaneously.
It was a little unsightly, but it was really funny.
Cheng Ling felt like she was about to choke, so she coughed twice.
Lu Qi handed a tissue to Cheng Ling and patted her back to calm her down.
Lu Qi was a gentleman. He deliberately patted her back which was covered with her clothes.
But even so, Cheng Ling could still feel the warmth from the man’s dry palm.
She didn’t know if it was because of the alcohol, but she felt a little hot. Fortunately, the focus wasn’t on her, but on “Brother Xiu”.
Cheng Ling caught her breath and looked at Lu Xiu with a smile.
Lu Qi was the same. He looked at Lu Xiu with a faint smile.
“Brother, I don’t know since when you have a sister.”
Being teased by Lu Qi, Cheng Xiao blushed and her face was flushed.
“Young Master Lu, you must be joking. I just want to be closer to Master Lu. That’s why I called ‘Brother Xiu’.”
Lu Qi nodded.
“Yeah, it’s pretty good.”
Lu Xiu secretly glared at Lu Qi.
Certainly, you would think it’s pretty good! She’s not calling you!
Seeing that the atmosphere was still harmonious and that Lu Qi was joking with her, Cheng Xiao felt that she had blended in with these people.
She raised her wine glass.
She was only a month younger than Cheng Ling. Although she was not an adult yet, she did not care about these things at her family’s banquet.
“Brother Xiu, I would like to propose a toast to you. I’m really grateful that you’re able to come to my grandfather’s birthday banquet today. I’m… very happy.”
Lu Xiu maintained his basic demeanor. He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Cheng Xiao.
“It’s only right for me to come over to congratulate Old Master Cheng on his birthday.”
He took a small sip of the wine and then put it down.
Cheng Xiao looked at Lu Xiu’s clear jawline and Adam’s apple that rolled as he swallowed the red wine. She couldn’t help but feel a little like a young girl in love.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
“Brother Xiu, my 18th birthday celebration will be held in three months. You’ll be attending it then, right?”
Hearing this, Lu Xiu and Lu Qi’s first reaction was not to answer Cheng Xiao’s question.
They all turned to look at Cheng Ling.
“Then you should be celebrating your 18th birthday earlier than Cheng Xiao, right?”
The topic suddenly shifted to her. Cheng Ling was still a little confused. She held the wine glass that was already in the air and nodded.
Her birthday was on the last day of May.
It just so happened that it was when spring ended and summer arrived.
According to Xie Ying, when Cheng Ling was brought back, other than the USB flash drive in the swaddling clothes, Cheng Ling’s date and time of birth were also written on a piece of paper.
Of course, the Cheng family did not care about her birthday.. Thus she just spent her birthday with Xie Ying every year.
