Xiao Yaojing jolted when she heard his voice. She composed herself and hastily lowered her gaze to start eating. “Who said I’m not eating? You have to unbutton your shirt first before breastfeeding.”

PA Wen’s face flushed in embarrassment. He looked around and was glad that their table was quite a distance from the others. PA Wen sighed in relief and commented, “Can you be more civilized, please?”

Xiao Yaojing tutted irritatedly, “All of you intellectuals are so pretentious.”

PA Wen did not want to continue this debate so he just started eating.

“What do you want for your birthday?” PA Wen inquired while chewing on his food. He did not have the courage to retrieve the flowers in his car trunk.

“Y.O.U. You,” Xiao Yaojing teased, continuing their banter.

This time, not only did PA Wen drop the food from his chopsticks, he literally choked because he was eating spicy food.

He clumsily grabbed her glass and drank the whole glass of water. Finally, he managed to compose himself.

Xiao Yaojing glared at him obnoxiously and sat down. “What are you so excited for? I’m just asking what YOU prepared for me. In short, you.”

PA Wen placed the glass down with one hand and grabbed the napkin to wipe the tears at the corner of his eyes.

Is that how you sum things up? It carried an entirely different meaning, okay?

When he finally calmed himself, he felt so awkward that he could not even look at her.

Xiao Yaojing continued eating as if nothing had happened. All her efforts of flirting with Lu Qichuan had been to no avail. On the contrary, seducing Wen Tao was a piece of cake.

She had finally understood that it was simply the difference between liking someone and not liking someone. You could seduce a person easily if that person liked you, but it impossible to flirt with someone who was not into you.

In conclusion, Wen Tao liked her, right?

“Aren’t you busy since Slayer Gu is not around?” Xiao Yaojing asked while eating.

Busy? She had no idea. He was so busy he wished he had Sun Wukong’s 1 super power, the one that could summon hundreds and thousands of clones just by flicking one strand of hair.

However, no matter how busy he was, he would make time to celebrate her birthday with her.

“I can make time for today even if I’m busy,” Wen Tao replied and suddenly put down his chopsticks. “You go ahead and eat, I need to make a phone call.”

Xiao Yaojing pursed her lips in disappointment. ‘I can make time for today’ was obviously a lie. She continued to eat reluctantly while waiting for PA Wen to return.

Unexpectedly, the phone call took quite a long time. By the time he returned to his seat, she was almost done eating.

“You can go back if you are busy.” Xiao Yaojing cupped her chin and looked at the man sitting across her.

“It’s okay, the company can survive without me,” PA Wen answered with a cheerful smile, “Are you done?”

She nodded. “Do you know how long you’ve been gone? Did you expect me to wait for you?”

PA Wen chuckled softly. He lifted his bowl and started eating at the table full of plates with almost empty dishes.

“Hey, why are you not letting me have a full meal on my birthday?” Xiao Yaojing looked at the man sitting in front of her and kicked him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

PA Wen had a few mouthfuls then asked the waiter to clear the table.

“A cake is coming, you have to make room for it,” PA Wen announced and gestured for the waiters to bring the cake out.

Xiao Yaojing stared at the cart with the cake on it that was slowly approaching their table. Her eyes slowly reddened. The last time that she had a birthday celebration was when she was at university. Ye Yuwei was so stingy, she borrowed the kitchen of a bakery to make her a cake, and then they broke off their friendship, and then Ye Yuwei had the accident.

All this time, she had been all alone on her birthday. At best, there was just the red packets she received from her parents. It was troublesome to celebrate a birthday by herself.

So this was the first cake that totally belonged to her after all these years.
