Scumbag God, I can see the entry of desire.

Chapter 1381: Miss Cai's Happy Life

The dining room of Zhao's villa was brightly lit, with a crystal chandelier reflecting a warm golden light that spilled onto the long mahogany dining table.

A table full of exquisite dishes filled the room with their aroma. Boston lobsters with their bright red claws lay on an ice sculpture base, while king crabs had thick, plump legs. Next to them was a plate of top-grade Wagyu beef glistening with oil.

There are also various kinds of precious seafood and wild delicacies. Each dish is served on an intricately carved silver plate, with fresh flower petals adorning the edges, making it clear that it is the work of a top chef.

On the trolley next to the dining table, a three-tiered birthday cake stood out, its cream frosting as delicate as lace, and it was adorned with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and edible gold leaf.

Xiao Zhini and Xiao Haoming sat in high chairs at opposite ends of the dining table, their little feet dangling on the footrests, their eyes fixed on the dishes on the table, their little mouths pursed into crescent shapes.

Xiao Haoming clutched a mini plastic spoon in his hand, occasionally putting it into his mouth and then quickly taking it out, his face turning red with impatience.

The little guy finally couldn't resist tilting his head back and calling out in a clear voice:

"Grandma, when is Uncle coming back? I can't wait for dinner!"

Little Zhini smacked her lips, sniffed the fragrance in the air, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice with a hint of coquetry:

"Grandma, the food smells so good! Can we eat some first? Just a little bit."

Yang Limei sat in the main seat, watching the two little ones' greedy expressions. The gloom on her face had long since disappeared, and she smiled with doting eyes: "Eat, eat, eat, my little darlings."

She picked up the serving chopsticks, carefully placed a small piece of deboned fish into Xiao Zhini's plate, and then gave Xiao Haoming a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.

Zhao Lanshan sat to the side, smiling as she pushed the children's plates closer together, and said softly:

"Mom, let's wait a little longer. My brother should be here soon. It'll be more fun if the whole family is together for the birthday dinner."

Yang Limei said, "We can't wait any longer. Ni'er and Ming'er are hungry. The children are growing. Your brother doesn't deserve you and your son-in-law to glare at him while he's eating."

Lin Lang said through the system notification, "Mom, Cheng Kai has arrived home."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of footsteps echoed from the restaurant entrance.

Zhao Chengkai burst in, panting, sweat beading on his forehead, carrying several gift bags. He shouted as he entered, "Mom! Happy birthday! I'm home!"

Yang Limei glared at her son, but her tone softened: "You still know to come back? I thought you'd completely forgotten about your mother's birthday."

Zhao Chengkai placed the birthday gift on the cabinet next to him, walked quickly to Yang Limei, bent down and hugged her:

"Mom, don't be angry. I just rushed back. There was a traffic jam on the way."

Seeing the lingering handprint on Zhao Chengkai's face and hearing the guilt in his voice, Zhao Lanshan could immediately guess that Lin Lang had disciplined her brother-in-law.

Yang Limei initially wanted to scold her son, but seeing his remorseful expression and the handprint on his face from the beating, she ultimately softened.

She sighed, "It's good that you're back."

Zhao Chengkai chuckled and hurriedly took out an exquisite brocade box from his bag and handed it over: "Mom, look, this is the imperial green jade bracelet I bought for you. It suits you very well."

Yang Limei opened the brocade box and looked inside. A smile finally appeared on her face: "You're not so bad after all, you still have some conscience."

Little Haoming sat in his high chair, clapping his hands and shouting, "Uncle! You're finally back! Can we eat now?"

Zhao Chengkai walked over and pinched his nephew's cheek: "You brat, all you know is how to eat."

As he spoke, he took out an Ultraman figurine and a pretty Barbie doll from another bag and gave them to Xiao Zhini and Xiao Haoming, saying, "Here, these are gifts your uncle brought for you."

"Wow, Ultraman Zero! Thank you, Uncle!" Xiao Haoming's eyes lit up; all little boys his age love Ultraman.

Little Zhini hugged her Barbie doll and said sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle."

When Lin Lang saw Zhao Chengkai return, he put on a fake smile: "Brother-in-law is back. Hurry up and sit down. Mom has been waiting for you for ages."

Zhao Chengkai then guiltily turned his gaze to Lin Lang, scratched his head, and respectfully greeted him, "Brother-in-law."

Zhao Lanshan said with a smile, "Alright, everyone's here. I'll light the candles, and let Mom blow them out and make a birthday wish first!"

Xiao Haoming smiled happily and said, "Great! We can eat cake soon!"

Little Zhini giggled and said, "Grandma, I'll sing you 'Happy Birthday'."

"Ni'er is so good, she's really Grandma's sweetheart!" Yang Limei kissed her left-hand little Zhi Ni and then patted her right-hand little Hao Ming's cute little head.

The seating arrangement right next to her grandson and granddaughter reveals Yang Limei's doting affection for the two little ones; the love she shows to her grandparents is genuine.

Zhao Lanshan picked up the lighter from the edge of the dining table, and with a "snap," a pale blue flame licked the candle wick.

The candles on the three-tiered cake were lit one by one, and the warm yellow glow swayed gently in the flickering flames, casting a soft light on everyone's face.

Then, Zhao Lanshan put down the lighter, turned around and picked up a golden birthday hat from the side, carefully put it on Yang Limei's head, and smiled as she adjusted the brim:

"Mom, you are the biggest birthday star today."

Yang Limei raised her hand to adjust her birthday hat, her eyes filled with warmth as she smiled: "My daughter is so thoughtful, she knows how to make her mother happy."

"Turn off the lights!" Zhao Chengkai said, quickly walking to the wall and pressing the switch.

The crystal chandelier in the restaurant went out instantly, leaving only the candlelight on the cake flickering in the darkness, casting long shadows of everyone.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." Lin Lang clapped his hands first, humming in a gentle yet powerful voice.

Xiao Haoming and Xiao Zhini immediately clapped their hands, their childish voices clear and loud, "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!"

Zhao Lanshan and Zhao Chengkai joined in, and the family's singing intertwined in the candlelight, so warm it seemed to melt away all unhappiness.

Yang Limei sat in the middle of the dining table, looking at her children, son-in-law, and two adorable little ones. Her eyes welled up slightly, but her lips remained upturned in a smile.

The candlelight flickered gently on her face, revealing the fine lines at the corners of her eyes and the tenderness enveloped by family affection.

Yang Limei took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, put her hands together in front of her chest, clenched her fingers slightly, and solemnly made a wish in her heart.

May my daughter and son-in-law always live in harmony and happiness, and may their lives become smoother and smoother.

May my grandson and granddaughter grow up safe, sound, and healthy.

And then there's his son, who's always causing trouble. I hope Chengkai can truly mature, become an honest person, and stop causing trouble...

The moment Yang Limei opened her eyes, everyone applauded and wished her a happy birthday.

"Grandma, I want to blow out the candles with you!" Little Haoming couldn't contain himself any longer, twisting his body in his high chair and raising his little arms high.

"Grandma, I want to blow out the candles with you too!" Little Zhini looked up at Yang Limei with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Okay, okay, let's blow out the candles together." Yang Limei smiled and opened her arms to the two little ones.

Zhao Lanshan picked up Xiao Zhini and placed her to Yang Limei's left, while Yang Limei picked up Xiao Haoming on the right and held the two children in her arms.

"One, two, three!" Lin Lang counted softly.

"Whoosh—" The three of them pulled together, and the candle flame flickered a few times in the airflow before going out instantly, plunging the restaurant into a brief darkness, followed by a burst of cheerful applause.

"Turn on the lights!" Zhao Chengkai pressed the switch again, and the crystal chandelier lit up again, its warm golden light filling the restaurant, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

Yang Limei put Xiao Haoming back in his high chair, took the plastic knife Lin Lang handed her, and said with a smile:

"Come on, Grandma will divide the cake among my babies."

She first cut a slice of cake covered with strawberries from the top layer and placed it steadily on the plate in front of Xiao Haoming. "Good boy, Ming'er, here you go first."

"Thank you, Grandma!" Xiao Haoming immediately picked up a spoon, eagerly scooped up a mouthful and stuffed it into his mouth, cream sticking to the corners of his mouth, making him look like a little kitten.

Then, Yang Limei cut a piece of cake with blueberries for Xiao Zhini: "Zhini, have a taste too, is it sweet?"

Little Zhini ate in small bites, squinting her eyes and nodding: "Sweet! Grandma's birthday cake is so delicious!"

Yang Limei's smile widened, and she then distributed cakes to Lin Lang, Zhao Lanshan, and Zhao Chengkai in turn, before finally cutting a piece for herself.

At the mahogany dining table, the family ate cake, and bursts of cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.

The warm atmosphere, like the hot soup on the table, slowly spread and warmed everyone's hearts.

Zhao Lanshan served Yang Limei a bowl of soup: "Mom, drink some soup first to warm your stomach. This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup has been stewing for six hours."

Zhao Chengkai quickly put a piece of Wagyu beef on Yang Limei's plate: "Mom, this is tender, please try it."

With his mouth stuffed full of cake, Xiao Haoming solemnly picked up his juice glass and mumbled, "Grandma, I'm raising a glass to wish you a happy birthday. I'll drink it all, you can drink as you please."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Yang Limei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ming'er, who did you learn this from?"

Xiao Haoming replied childishly, "I learned it from my uncle."

Xiao Zhini quickly picked up her juice glass and said with a smile, "Grandma, I also wish you a happy birthday."

Looking at the two little ones, Yang Limei felt a surge of tenderness in her heart. She quickly smiled, picked up her wine glass, and clinked glasses with Xiao Haoming and Xiao Zhini.

Lin Lang also raised his glass and said, "Then let's all raise a glass together and wish Mom a happy birthday."

Zhao Lanshan and Zhao Chengkai also raised their glasses, and the family toasted and drank heartily.

The warm yellow lights in the restaurant illuminated everyone's smiling faces, and the delicious food on the table emitted an enticing aroma, highlighting the reunion and warmth of the moment.

During the meal, Zhao Chengkai repeatedly toasted Lin Lang, calling him "brother-in-law" affectionately.

The arrogant and domineering Young Master Zhao is afraid of his brother-in-law Lin Lang, and luckily there is someone who can keep him in check.

After the birthday dinner, Yang Limei walked out of the restaurant with Xiao Haoming in her left hand and Xiao Zhini in her right, looking very happy.

With his round belly sticking out, Xiao Haoming said in a spoiled tone, "Grandma, I want to watch Ultraman fight monsters."

Yang Limei gently coaxed, "My dear grandson, you've already watched half an hour of cartoons today. Watching too much TV is bad for your eyes."

After hearing this, Xiao Haoming pouted unhappily and muttered, "Then what am I supposed to play?"

Little Zhini said sweetly and sensibly, "Little brother, shall we play the clapping song with Grandma?"

"Great!" Xiao Haoming excitedly shook his grandmother's arm.

Yang Limei smiled and led the two little ones into the living room. The mother and her two children sat on the sofa and coaxed Xiao Zhini and Xiao Haoming to play a clapping song.

Yang Limei gently patted Xiao Zhini's hand, then turned to Xiao Haoming and began to speak with a smile:

"You clap once, I clap once, a child rides an airplane."

Little Zhini caught it crisply, her little hand making a light, cheerful sound as it collided with her grandmother's palm.

"You clap twice, I clap twice, two children with braids."

Xiao Haoming eagerly interrupted, clapping his chubby hands haphazardly in Yang Limei's palm, his voice childish yet remarkably earnest:

"You clap three times, I clap three times, three children climb a mountain!"

Yang Limei was amused by the two little ones' adorable appearance and patted them even more gently:

"You clap four times, I clap four times, four children write big characters."
