President, please comfort me.

Wen Qi was secretly pleased, but shy and unsure how to respond. She scratched her head, turned to Tang Chao, and greeted him, "Brother Tang Chao."

Tang Chao was as gentle and polite as ever: "Come, Xiao Qi, sit here and have some snacks first." After saying that, he cunningly made Wen Qi sit between him and Ye Lin.

Tang Yue circled the table, constantly offering food to Wen Qi: "Xiao Qi, try this durian pastry, it's super delicious."

Wenqi is a level 10 durian lover. She immediately took a bite and found the durian flavor to be very strong. She sincerely praised, "Hmm, it tastes good, very delicious."

Ye Lin's eyes had been fixed on Wen Qi ever since she entered the private room, not because he wanted to seduce her, but because she was the only woman in the past thirty years for whom Xiao He had carried her in a princess carry without a word.

Seeing that she liked sweets, they diligently fed her, calling her "little beauty" one bite at a time, until the plate in front of Wenqi was almost overflowing.

While the three of them were eating, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside.

Xiao He was dressed in a custom-made black suit. The suit was perfectly tailored, highlighting his slender figure and elegant posture. The delicate silver lines on it were like the Milky Way in the night sky, shimmering with a luxurious light.

Xiao He and A Chen walked in one after the other. Xiao He sat on the single sofa next to Tang Chao, while A Chen sat next to Tang Chao.

Tang Yue saw Xiao He and Achen and quickly put down her chopsticks to greet them: "Brother Ahe, Brother Achen."

Xiao He replied calmly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger: "Hmm."

Ah Chen went over and ruffled her hair: "Good girl."

Tang Chao saw Xiao He's lips curl slightly upward, then turned around and thoughtfully picked up a dessert for Wen Qi: "Here, Xiao Qi, this is delicious too. Try the one your brother recommended. Don't just eat what your brother Ye Lin picked up."

Wen Qi only glanced at the door when Xiao He came in, nodded to A Chen, and then continued eating. Upon hearing Tang Chao's words, she quickly nodded her thanks and accepted the food.

Ye Lin looked up at Xiao He and teased, "Brother Xiao, you're late! Time for a penalty drink!"

Xiao He looked at how obsequious they were to Wen Qi, feeling both contempt and a bit annoyed. Without saying a word, he picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp: "Who's as free as you?"

Ye Lin grinned, looking quite frivolous: "Knowing that a pretty little sister was coming, of course I had to arrive early. Come on, little beauty, try this, it's their signature dish."

By now, Wen Qi was immune to Ye Lin's way of addressing her. She put down her drink, smiled, and nodded, "Okay, I'll try it."

Tang Chao sat to the side and watched the play for a while, then said to Achen, "Come on, let's go over there and push the cake over here."

Achen responded, and the two of them pushed a six-tiered cake over from the corner where Tang Yue had been singing, with a beautiful mermaid princess in the middle.

After blowing out the candles and making a wish, Tang Yue, wearing a birthday hat, cut the cake. She gave the first slice to Wen Qi, who smiled and sweetly said, "Thank you, happy birthday."

Wen Qi has a sweet tooth, and she sat obediently in her seat eating her cake. Seeing that she liked it, Ye Lin smiled and asked her in a rather ingratiating way, "You love sweets so much?"

Wen Qi was holding a small spoon in one hand and stuffing it into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging like a little squirrel's as she nodded at Ye Lin: "Yes, I like it very much."

Hearing her say that, Ye Lin thoughtfully handed her the dessert he was holding: "I'll take you there next time. I know a dessert shop that's really popular."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome. Just call me 'brother' like Xiaoyue does. Come on, let's exchange contact information first."

Wen Qi smiled and generously called him "brother." The two then added each other on WeChat and exchanged phone numbers.

Tang Yue was quite afraid of Xiao He. Seeing Ye Lin flirting with her sister-in-law, she was worried that he would lose his temper later, so she quickly stepped between the two of them: "Hey, what are you two talking about? I want to go too."

Ye Lin looked at Tang Yue and readily agreed: "Okay, little birthday girl, I'll bring you too."

Xiao He stared at it for a long time without saying a word, then suddenly spoke up: "I'm hungry, let's eat." He then walked towards the round table behind the screen.

As soon as Xiao He spoke, everyone got up and went over. Wen Qi originally wanted to stay away from Xiao He, but by some twist of fate, she ended up sitting to his right.

Ye Lin raised an eyebrow at Xiao He: "Brother Xiao, I've never heard you mention before that Aunt Hui's friend's family has such a pretty little sister."

Xiao He took off his coat, loosened his tie, and said casually, "I just found out myself."

Ye Lin deliberately steered the conversation towards Xiao He and Wen Qi: "So, you and Xiao Qi have only just met?"

Xiao He glanced at the guy and thought he was even more talkative than usual today, so he didn't really want to talk to him: "Hmm."

Ye Lin then turned his gaze to Wen Qi, a smile playing on his lips: "Little beauty, look at Brother Xiao, he's such a boring guy. If you ever need anything, remember to ask Brother Ye Lin."

Wen Qi felt she shouldn't need to bother him, so she smiled and slightly curled the corners of her mouth: "Okay, I'll definitely come to you if I need anything."

Tang Yue looked at everyone and said happily, "Thank you all for celebrating my birthday with me. I'm very happy."

Tang Chao looked at Tang Yue with a doting expression and reached out to rub her head.

Ah Chen looked at her and gently wished her a happy birthday, Xiao Yue.

Ye Lin said with a doting look, "You're a grown woman now, twenty-three years old, right?"

Tang Yue nodded obediently: "Yes, I'm the same age as Xiao Qi."

Ye Lin feigned surprise: "Really? You're all so young, unlike your Brother Xiao and Brother Tang, who are almost thirty."

Tang Chao directly exposed him: "You talk as if you and I aren't the same age."

Ye Lin looked at Wen Qi and deliberately winked: "But I look like I'm in my early twenties, aren't I a pretty girl?"

Wen Qi was amused by him and praised him generously: "Yes, Brother Ye Lin is good-looking, with fair skin and looks young."

Ye Lin smiled smugly: "The young lady has good taste. Just eating is too boring. How about we play something?"

Ah Chen's interest was immediately piqued: "What do you want to play?"

"How about we play a little game? The loser drinks, and if they can't drink anymore, they have to choose between truth or dare. What do you say?"

Tang Yue was very supportive and immediately clapped her hands, saying, "Great! Great!"

Xiao He, remembering that Wen Qi was still injured and couldn't drink, refused as always: "Not interested."

Ye Lin was displeased upon hearing this: "Hey, don't be like that. There are only a few people. What's the point of playing if you don't want to?"

Everyone looked at Xiao He, and Wen Qi glanced at him as well. Xiao He glanced at her cream-stained lips out of the corner of his eye, said nothing, but his brows visibly relaxed. Those who knew him knew that this meant he had agreed.

Ye Lin harbored a mischievous thought, but spoke very considerately: "Let's keep it simple and start by visiting the three parks. You all know how to play, right?"

Tang Chao: "Okay, Xiaoyue and Xiaoqi lost one cup, so we'll have two."

After looking around and everyone saying it was fine, Ah Chen replied, "Then I'll start. What's in the vegetable garden? Eggplants."

Following the order, Xiao said, "Radish."

Wen Qi replied easily, "Potatoes."

Ye Lin quickly replied: "Cabbage."

Tang Yue: "Tomato."

Tang Dynasty: "Apple".

Ah Chen had already begun speaking: "Baby..."

Halfway through his sentence, everyone looked at Tang Chao. Ye Lin couldn't help but laugh, yet was also speechless: "What? How did apples suddenly appear? What's in the vegetable garden? Vegetables!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Chen couldn't help himself and grinned so hard he almost fell over. Wen Qi, who had a low threshold for laughter, couldn't help but laugh too, and she lowered her head and chuckled.
