The next second, Yan Tian pushed the door open and stuck his head in. “Let’s go, Lin Yi. We’re all waiting for you.”
Lin Yi calmed himself down a little before nodding. “Alright, I’ll be right there.”
Jian Yiyi had already reserved the best private room in the restaurant, and there was a dedicated server in charge of receiving them. Even the dishes for today’s birthday party were Jian Yiyi’s decision. People who weren’t in the know would think that she was Lin Yi’s girlfriend.
After everyone sat down, Jian Yiyi looked at everyone and said, “There are six restaurants in this resort hotel. Now, everyone is at the western restaurant. We’ve invited a French chef. This is my first time here as well. I wonder how the food tastes.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside. Then, service staff in black and white work clothes entered in succession. Each of them was holding a dish that looked like a painting.
Pan-fried French sweet duck roasted over a wood charcoal fire. Please enjoy!
Roasted wild boar tenderloin paired with honey and white vinegar. Please enjoy!
Sour soup from Russia and cod with chili. Please enjoy!
Five percent cooked Kobe beef with pearl rice. Please enjoy!
…
For every dish, the server would give the name of the dish professionally and politely say, “Please enjoy.”
The ingredients chosen for this restaurant were all expensive ingredients from around the world. Every dish was exquisite, and it was obvious that they were expensive.
Guan Tao had never eaten western food before. To her knowledge, western food was just steak and pasta. She had never seen these strange ingredients before. Even their names were so long.
Even the others who were used to western food couldn’t help but smack their lips. Jian Yiyi had arranged everything meticulously. She had chosen every dish carefully.
It was true that Jian Yiyi had spent a lot of effort arranging the banquet to gain favor in front of everyone, especially Lin Yi. Seeing their expressions, Jian Yiyi couldn’t help but feel smug. She had studied abroad for a year and had eaten a lot of rare food. It was finally of use.
In the end, the door of the private room opened, and two service staff pushed in a huge three-story cake with candles. There was a small stereo playing the Happy Birthday Song behind the cart.
Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect Jian Yiyi to order a birthday cake.
“Of course, we can’t skip the cake for a birthday. We have to have a ceremony.” Jian Yiyi smiled sweetly and looked at Lin Yi. “Lin Yi, make a wish.”
Everyone’s eyes were on Lin Yi at this moment. Lin Yi paused. He hadn’t thought about this segment initially, but since Jian Yiyi had already ordered a cake, he couldn’t refuse her. Moreover, it was his birthday, and Jian Yiyi had indeed put in a lot of thought.
He stood up and walked to the cake. Lin Yi closed his eyes slightly, looking pious. Then he looked at Jian Ai vaguely before blowing out the candle.
Seeing this, everyone applauded and said Happy Birthday to Lin Yi. The atmosphere instantly soared.
At this moment, Jian Yiyi took out an exquisite box from nowhere and handed it to Lin Yi. Her face was slightly red as she said gently, “Lin Yi, happy birthday to you.”
Lin Yi was stunned. He didn’t think that Jian Yiyi would specially prepare a birthday gift for him. For some reason, he accepted everyone else’s gift, including Jian Ai’s. However, he felt inexplicably hesitant toward Jian Yiyi’s gift.
Jian Yiyi handed the gift forward without knowing this. “Open it and see if you like it.”
