Chapter 405: Secret Gift
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang An and Zou Bai went downstairs and didn’t expect Mo Shen to be waiting for them in the living room.
“Brother Mo Shen, it’s still early for the birthday banquet. Why are you here now?” Jiang An said in surprise.
Mo Shen pointed at the gift that was being packed and said, “This gift of mine is a little too big, so I want to transport it here for decoration. I’m afraid Little Feather won’t like the bare box.”
Jiang An didn’t expect Mo Shen to be so thoughtful. She smiled and said, “It’s just a birthday. There’s no need to make it so grand. She’s already very happy to have a gift.”
Zou Bai stared at the gift he was packing, trying to figure out what it was. However, he couldn’t guess what it was when he saw a box that was even taller than him.
Jiang An was also shocked by the size of this thing. He asked, “Brother Mo Shen, what exactly are you giving her?”
Mo Shen raised his eyebrows. “This is a secret. We’ll only know when Little Feather opens it.”
He wanted to keep Jiang An in suspense, so Jiang An didn’t ask further. She said, “Zou Bai and I are going to make snacks. Do you want to help?”
Mo Shen shook his head. “I really want to help you, but my body is still recovering. Sometimes, my hands will tremble unconsciously. I can’t do such a delicate thing.”
Zou Bai asked, “Will you recover soon?”
“Yes, it’s just a side effect of the medicine. It will disappear as time pa.s.ses.” Mo Shen didn’t expect Zou Bai to ask him this. Previously, he had ignored him.
What he didn’t know was that Zou Bai had been thinking about how to treat Mo Shen during this period of time.
Even if they were love rivals, the other party did not pursue An’an. Besides, he was an important person to An’an. If the two of them did not have a good relationship, it would only make things difficult for An’an.
However, he was not related to An’an by blood after all. He had always loved An’an deeply, so it was very difficult for him to have no grudges as well.
Thinking about it this way, it was simply wrong no matter what he did. In the end, Zou Bai decided to treat Mo Shen as an unfamiliar friend. He didn’t want to be hostile, but he also didn’t want to be close to him. This was the best distance.
That was why he had asked that question just now. Caring about his health was considered a matter within the circle of friends.
Since Mo Shen couldn’t help, Jiang An and Zou Bai could only do it together. They changed into ap.r.o.ns and started to knead the dough.
Jiang An planned to make some cookies. It would take less time, and she could make a lot at once.
“Little Feather has given out so many invitations. I reckon there’ll be many people coming. We have to make more,” Jiang An said as she added flour to the bowl.
Zou Bai took it and said, “I’ll do it.”
Jiang An was puzzled. “You know how to make cookies?”
“There are scales on it. I won’t make a mistake if I follow these,” Zou Bai said.
Seeing his agile movements, Jiang An was relieved and handed the bowl to him. She turned around to look for other tools and wanted to beat the b.u.t.ter into cream first.
When she came back with everything, she laughed out loud.
No one knew when Zou Bai’s face had been smeared with flour, but he continued to knead the dough without realizing it. It was completely opposite from the way he raised his gun in the morning. In fact, he looked a little dazed.
Seeing that Jiang An was smiling at himself, Zou Bai was a little puzzled. However, he quickly realized that there must be something on his face.
Zou Bai didn’t care about the things on his face. He walked over and smeared the flour on Jiang An’s face. This time, the other party couldn’t smile anymore.
Jiang An chased after Zou Bai to spread cream on him. The sound of the two of them fooling around could be heard in the living room. Mo Shen pushed the door open and entered. “If the two of you continue fooling around, I’m afraid you won’t be able to finish it even when it’s dark.”
With Mo Shen’s words, the two of them didn’t dare to make a fuss anymore. They obediently made the cookies and placed them in the oven.
Mo Shen came over to help decorate the biscuits. The three of them worked together and quickly settled the snacks. They were just waiting for the banquet to begin tonight.
“Mi Xue, are you sure you want to go to the Jiang family tonight?” Mi Na looked at the invitation letter on the table and said excitedly.
Mi Xue was packing gifts and nodded. “We’re going to the Jiang family. Zou Ya said that his friend, Little Feather, is celebrating her birthday and invited the entire kindergarten.”
Mi Na instantly had an idea. During this period of time, she had always wanted to see Si Cheng, but Si Cheng was busy making a comeback and didn’t have time. He hated Bai Ting and naturally didn’t want to have anything to do with Mi Na.
However, Mi Na’s heart was filled with Si Cheng. She wanted to help him return to his previous life. If she could make the Jiang family stop taking revenge, Si Cheng would definitely be fine.
At the thought of this, Mi Na said, “Mi Xue, Auntie will accompany you to the banquet tonight..”
