Chapter 100 Birthday Party
Ye Zhenzhen's 23rd birthday party is something she will remember for the rest of her life.
With family by your side, lover by your side, and friends as your companion.
During the dinner, Lu Yu and Zhongli were like a pair of bickering lovers, and their bickering was particularly lively.
Lu Yu deliberately provoked trouble, "Zhenzhen, it must be difficult to deal with such a customer, right?"
It's obvious that he's saying that Zhongli is difficult to deal with.
Without waiting for Ye Zhenzhen to speak, Zhongli counterattacked sarcastically: "Boss Wen, why would your company employ such an unqualified employee?"
These two people also dragged Wen Baijing and Ye Zhenzhen into the melee.
People who don’t know would think that the two of them had agreed to cause trouble.
Wen Baijing and Ye Zhenzhen looked at each other knowingly and forced out helpless bitter smiles.
If we let them continue arguing, if they really get into a fight it would seem that the host is not hospitable enough.
We can only find a way to calm the smoke of war.
Wen Baijing coughed lightly and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lu, what do you think?"
Ye Zhenzhen forced an awkward smile at Zhongli. She was in a dilemma and it would be bad to offend anyone.
I had to change the subject deliberately and said to Zhongli softly, "Have you been filming a lot recently? I see you're getting thinner and thinner, how did you lose weight? Teach me quickly..."
Zhongli no longer paid attention to Lu Yu and enthusiastically shared his weight loss experience with Ye Zhenzhen. The two of them were chatting happily.
Just as they were chatting happily, someone pinched her thigh. Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt ashamed and annoyed, and turned around to glare at Wen Baijing on her right.
It was not convenient to say it directly in front of everyone at the table, so he could only pretend to be calm, let go of the cup, slowly moved his hand down the table, and pushed Wen Baijing's hand away.
Ye Zhenzhen turned her head and continued chatting and laughing with Zhongli to divert her friend's attention.
But she fell into Wen Baijing's trap, who pinched her palm hard on purpose as a punishment. Ye Zhenzhen wanted to pull away but couldn't show it too obviously.
There's a table full of people!
Ye Zhenzhen secretly complained in her heart, it wasn't like she really wanted to lose weight, was it not okay to just satisfy her craving for food?
The little movements of the two were seen clearly by Ye Mao and Wang You who were sitting opposite them, without missing a single detail.
Zhongli took an empty cup and filled it with wine. "Come on, Zhenzhen, you should at least drink a little wine to show your respect as the birthday boy!"
Ye Zhenzhen did not answer immediately. She turned her head and looked at Wen Baijing inquiringly. After all, she had promised him that she would never drink again.
Wen Baijing seemed not to understand the look she gave him and stared at her without comment.
Zhongli joked, "Wow! Are you so strict?"
Wen Baijing said rather forcefully: "She is not feeling well, I will drink for her."
No chance to question at all.
Lu Yu picked up the wine glass, showing his gentlemanly demeanor, and took the initiative to ask Zhongli for peace: "Excuse me, beautiful lady. If I had known that we were family, I would have given you the right."
Zhongli raised his eyebrows proudly and glanced at him sideways, but he did not let Lu Yu down. "For the sake of our Zhenzhen, I will forgive you."
Lu Yu lowered his glass and clinked it with Zhongli, looking very sincere, "Beautiful lady, you are really generous, and the prime minister is very tolerant..."
Zhongli smiled calmly, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, "Don't say that, we don't know each other without fighting."
The two people were bickering with each other one second, and began to appreciate each other and compliment each other the next.
Then they started toasting each other, looking as if they had met too late.
Both of them believe in "drink while the wine is here", and now is the perfect time to drink with good friends.
The four spectators nearby were completely confused and couldn't understand what the two were singing about.
Ye Zhenzhen just made time to talk to her younger brother and sister, and asked about Wang You's physical recovery.
Wen Baijing didn't pretend to be aloof. He occasionally interjected and exchanged words with Ye Mao and the others.
He was totally different from the way he looked when Ye Zhenzhen first met him. They were like two different people.
There is no way to connect him with the original person who was independent, cold and alienated.
Ye Mao was not as reserved in front of Wen Baijing as he was when they met in the hospital, nor was he glaring at each other as he had been when they first met.
There was a sense of intimacy and respect in their conversation.
However, Ye Mao did not call Wen Baijing "brother-in-law" like Wang You did, but called him "Mr. Wen".
Ye Mao held the wine glass, pushed the chair away, stood up, and said respectfully: "Mr. Wen, I toast you a glass. To be honest, Ye Zhenzhen is not worthy of you. She is not smart enough, you have to bear more with her."
No respect for my sister at all.
Ye Zhenzhen was a little unconvinced, and took on the attitude of a sister, preparing to argue with her brother, "Ye Mao..."
Wen Baijing held Ye Zhenzhen's shoulders, and used some strength to stop her from continuing. Then he said to Ye Mao, "I will take good care of her, don't worry."
Ye Mao was still worried. "She is a little willful sometimes. If she does something too bad one day, don't bother with her. Tell me and I will help you educate her."
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly turned red for no apparent reason. Ye Mao seemed to have really grown up a lot and knew how to speak for her tactfully.
She reached out and picked up a tissue without making a sound, intending to secretly wipe the corners of her eyes when no one was paying attention.
Wen Baijing saw all of this.
He patted Ye Zhenzhen's shoulder and replied to Ye Mao: "Your sister is very good. If I make your sister angry someday, you must help me persuade her."
Ye Mao said seriously: "As long as you don't do anything to Ye Zhenzhen and don't do anything to let her down, I will stand by your side."
Ye Zhenzhen's throat was badly blocked, and she tried to open her eyes wide, fearing that the hot spring in her eyes would secretly overflow if she was not careful.
Zhongli suddenly turned around and asked, "Hey! Zhenzhen, tell me how Mr. Wen managed to win you over?"
When it comes to gossip, Lu Yu immediately becomes very excited and asks, "Yes! How did you two know each other?"
The train of thought of these two people is as complicated as the Loess Plateau with thousands of ravines and gullies. It is impossible to guess what they are thinking.
Ye Zhenzhen's body shook uncontrollably twice, and she tried her best to force a smile.
Ye Mao and Wang You also put down their chopsticks, apparently wanting to listen to the story carefully.
Unfortunately, the story starts in a place of entertainment where all kinds of people gather.
It is not presentable and cannot be shared.
Wen Baijing put his left arm around Ye Zhenzhen's shoulders and held her hand with his right hand.
He was trying to comfort Ye Zhenzhen, but in the eyes of the other people at the table, this seemed like a crazy and deliberate show of affection.
Wen Baijing smiled calmly and said calmly: "This is a secret between the two of us, not to be shared."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and gave Ye Zhenzhen a loud kiss on the forehead.
Seeing this, Lu Yu and Zhong Li laughed and started to make fun of the two, saying that they had no moral ethics for showing their affection in broad daylight.
The effect was good, and this move immediately dispelled the curiosity of the other people.
Fortunately, Lu Yu and Zhongli only complained that they were stingy and not kind enough.
Zhongli smiled and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Mr. Wen, have you prepared a birthday present for our Zhenzhen?"
Wen Baijing acted extremely calm, and said slowly, "I didn't have time to buy it."
Zhongli laughed exaggeratedly: "No way! That's too insincere."
Lu Yu hurriedly came to the rescue: "We drove back in the middle of the night, we really didn't have time..."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled brightly and said sincerely: "It doesn't matter, your presence here today is the best gift."
Zhongli raised his glass high and said with a smile: "Come on, let's toast to the birthday boy and wish him a happy birthday!"
Everyone stood up and clinked their glasses together. The laughter rose and fell like an endless mountain.
"Ye Zhenzhen, I wish you to be like flowers and leaves, sharing the spring breeze year after year."
