In the end, Lu Jinnian didn't know what he was thinking. When he snapped back to his senses, he realized that there were a few cigarette butts floating in the toilet bowl in front of him. The phone in his chest was vibrating non-stop. He pulled out his phone to see that it was Qiao Anhao calling. He didn't pick up, hanging up the call. Then, he threw the cigarette in his hand into the toilet bowl and pressed the flush button.
The water swirled around, letting out splashing sounds. Soon enough, the toilet bowl was silent. Lu Jinnian took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, pushed open the cubicle door, and walked out. He stood in front of the sink, carefully washing his hands. Using a tissue to wipe them clean, he walked out of the restroom.
Not long after Lu Jinnian entered the restroom, Han Ruchu sent someone over to tell Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian to get ready for the cake cutting.
Qiao Anhao didn't dare to move around, so she could only wait at the entrance of the restroom. On the way, she took out her phone to call Lu Jinnian, but no one picked up.
After about ten minutes, Han Ruchu sent someone to rush them again. Qiao Anhao had no choice but to call again. This time, the phone rang twice before it was cut off. Qiao Anhao furrowed her brows. Just as she was about to get someone to call Lu Jinnian, he walked out of the men's restroom.
Qiao Anhao hurriedly walked up to him. First, she scanned his expression. Realizing that he was calm, she said, "Just now, they came to rush us. They said they were going to cut the cake."
Lu Jinnian nodded slightly, his movements so light that it was hard to miss. Then, he reached out to hold Qiao Anhao's waist, hugging her as they walked back to the party.
The moment Lu Jinnian and Qiao Anhao appeared, the party instantly quietened down. All the lights in the hall were instantly turned off. Two servants pushed a multi-layered cake that was as tall as a person, slowly walking over. It was filled with candles, the flames flickering.
Someone took the lead and started to sing Happy Birthday.
The cake stopped right in front of Lu Jinnian. Everyone gathered around, and when the song finished, everyone stuck their heads out to blow out the candles.
The moment the candles were extinguished, the tens of chandeliers in the banquet hall lit up in unison. The entire hall erupted in cheers. Some whistled, others shouted "Happy Birthday". Everyone presented their carefully prepared gifts to Lu Jinnian.
There were already helpers standing by the side, waiting for Lu Jinnian to receive his gift. They immediately reached out to receive it. Even Han Ruchu and Xu Wanli had prepared gifts for Lu Jinnian.
The banquet was filled with joy. No one noticed that when Lu Jinnian reached out to receive Xu Wanli's gift, his fingers were stiff.
This was the first time in his life that he received a gift from his biological father.
Qiao Anhao was the last to give a present. Those who were close to Qiao Anhao shouted mischievously after she gave her present, asking her to take the initiative to kiss the birthday boy.
All of a sudden, everyone began to chime in in unison.
Qiao Anhao timidly lifted her eyelids to look at Lu Jinnian. She hesitated for a moment, but amidst the rhythmic cheers of "kiss", she mustered her courage, stood on her tiptoes, and closed her eyes to kiss Lu Jinnian's lips. Like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, she left in a flash.
Instantly, the banquet hall erupted in deafening cheers and applause.
