However, she was a bad habit of not being able to walk when she saw delicacies and treating the words of others as though they were nothing. It was really bad for her.
Coming back to his senses, Zhang Xiao Xiao turned around and looked at the people behind her, seeing that their gazes were all focused on her, Zhang Xiao Xiao's gaze swept across their faces, and realised that the people who were basically here to celebrate her birthday, were basically all people that she knew.
The young man was curiously looking at Zhang Xiao Xiao. So this girl was the 'adopted daughter' that Xiao Mingyuan and Xiao Mingyuan were talking about from time to time. She looked very young, but she didn't expect Ling Chen to have such a good mouth.
He took the initiative to take two steps forward, arriving in front of Zhang Xiao Xiao, and extended his hand out to Zhang Xiao Xiao: "Hello, my name is Xu Ge, I'm one of the shareholders in your company, brothers."
After Xu Ge finished speaking, he glanced at Ling Chen. Uncle, according to the information Du Zetang gave him and Ling Chen's expression, he shouldn't be mistaken.
Zhang Xiao Xiao looked at the teenager in front of her with a little surprise. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Xiao Xiao."
But just as Zhang Xiao Xiao was about to extend his hand, Ling Chen held up two fingers and pulled her sleeve back.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Zhang Xiao Xiao frowned, and turned to look at Ling Chen weirdly.
"Come here and cut the cake." Ling Chen tactfully changed the topic, but in that evasive look, Xu Ge was able to notice the trace of embarrassment.
He never thought that his big brother, who was always so decisive and ruthless, would also be such a jealous person. He didn't even allow Zhang Xiao Xiao to hold his hand, and it wasn't like he didn't know himself …
Xu Ge squinted his eyes, and his gaze landed on Zhang Xiao Xiao. She had just put on her birthday hat and was scrambling to cut the cake.
Xu Ge frowned. This scene was beautiful, but for some reason, Xu Ge felt like there was something missing. However, what was it exactly? He rubbed his temples and for a moment, he really couldn't think of anything.
On the other side, Zhang Xiao Xiao was holding onto a blade with one hand and was aiming at a large strawberry.
Xu Ge opened her eyes wide. She remembered something else.
Zhang Xiao Xiao felt pain in her wrist, and her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Xu Ge who dodged it all. The knife in her hand, actually could not be lowered even a bit.
What was going on today? Did everyone like to stop her? Zhang Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Ge in puzzlement.
"Um, Xiao Xiao still hasn't made a wish." Xu Ge received Ling Chen's murderous gaze, as though in the next second, he would rush forward and cut off Zhang Xiao Xiao's' Pig Hands'. Xu Ge was so frightened that he quickly let go of Zhang Xiao Xiao and explained.
A wish? Ling Chen facepalmed. Right, he was too anxious, how could he forget about such an important step.
He quickly gave a meaningful look to Uncle Rong, who immediately understood what Ling Chen meant and quickly took out a candle he prepared beforehand and handed it over to Ling Chen.
"Xiao Xiao, you can't blame me for this, right? I've never accompanied others for their birthdays, and neither have I, so …" So he had no experience.
Ling Chen was hesitating as he held the small packet of candles in his hands. Usually, on his birthday, other than receiving a gift, everything else would be the same as usual.
It was rare for Zhang Xiao Xiao to see Ling Chen being humiliated, she covered her mouth and laughed out loud. She felt that this kind of Uncle, who would occasionally get confused, was even more enchanting.
Very soon, the people below helped to set up 18 candles, which were arranged in a circle around the round cake without affecting the beauty of the whole cake.
"Xiao Xiao, quickly go and make your wish. After making your wish, you can blow the candles." Chen Ou urged from behind Zhang Xiao Xiao, looking more expectant than her.
Zhang Xiao Xiao walked forward, faced a row of flickering candle flames, and slowly closed his eyes. He clasped his hands, and continuously chattered under the dim yellow candlelight, making Zhang Xiao Xiao's small face appear especially rosy.
Ling Chen's gaze was always on Zhang Xiao Xiao, he stared at her without blinking, and upon seeing this scene, he could not help but laugh and shake his head, although he felt that this kind of birthday wish was purely to comfort him, but it seemed like the little girl was willing to do this?
Just as he was thinking, Zhang Xiao Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and shot him a glance before he closed his eyes and continued to mutter to himself. Ling Chen didn't know if it was just an illusion, but he felt that Zhang Xiao Xiao's face was even redder than before …
If not for the fact that Zhang Xiao Xiao had looked straight into his eyes, Ling Chen would have thought that what happened just now was just an illusion.
Very quickly, Zhang Xiao Xiao opened his eyes, his bright big eyes blinking. He took a deep breath and blew out all the candles on the cake.
"Alright, you can cut the cake now!" Just as Zhang Xiao Xiao's voice fell, Du Zetang took the initiative to whistle, and squeezed to Zhang Xiao Xiao's side. The people by the side, seeing this, all came over, and very quickly, Zhang Xiao Xiao was surrounded.
"Xiao Xiao, what was your wish just now?" Taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Ou asked curiously.
Zhang Xiao Xiao lightly shook his head, and made a silent gesture: "Wouldn't it be a waste to say what you wish for?"
After saying this, a hint of anticipation flashed past her flickering eyes. However, she ignored Ling Chen who was at the side, and a hint of contemplation flashed past her eyes.
