Chapter 948: Want to Marry a Rich Boss
He said again, “Little Jiu. Happy birthday.”
“Thank you!” Su Jiu smiled happily. Seeing that the icing patterns on the cake were a little irregular, she couldn’t help but ask, “Big Brother, this cake… Don’t tell me you made it yourself?”
Rong Si coughed lightly, as if he was embarra.s.sed. “How did you know?”
“Because I’m smart!” Su Jiu chuckled. “Big Brother, I want to finish the cake you made yourself!”
“Don’t force yourself if you can’t finish it.”
“No, no. We have to finish it. We can’t waste your kindness!” Su Jiu picked up the small fork from the cake box. She was about to eat the cake when Rong Si suddenly said, “Wait.”
Su Jiu looked at him in surprise. Rong Si took out a beautiful little candle and a lighter. After sticking the candle in the cake, he lit it with a lighter. A small cl.u.s.ter of beautiful candlelight danced and flickered in front of her eyes.
“Didn’t you say we were supposed to make wishes and blow out candles before eating cake,” he reminded her in a soft voice.
“Alright!” Su Jiu closed her eyes and began to make a wish.
The warm candlelight shone on her face, making her look exceptionally exquisite. Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyelids like a feathered fan. Rong Si lowered his eyes and stared at her, feeling a little distracted.
He was so excited that he had the urge to kiss her, but he could only suppress it for the time being and wait patiently for her to make her wish.
After a while, Su Jiu finished her wish and opened her eyes. Then, she blew gently at the candle, extinguis.h.i.+ng the flames.
Rong Si casually asked, “What did you wish for?”
“Do you really want to know?” Su Jiu winked.
“May I know?”
“Sure. Come closer.” Su Jiu beckoned him closer. When Rong Si lowered his head and approached her, she suddenly kissed him on the cheek.
Rong Si was stunned. Before he could react, he heard her say in his ear, “My wish is to marry a very, very rich big boss in the future, become a rich woman, and live my best life!”
Rong Si suddenly smiled. “So who is that big boss?”
“I don’t know either! If you can become a very, very rich big boss, I’ll marry you!”
“Really?”
“Yes!” Su Jiu nodded seriously.
Rong Si’s smile deepened. “Looks like I have to become that kind of big boss.”
Su Jiu held back her laughter. “Yes, I have high hopes for you!”
“I’ll do my best,” Rong Si said seriously. He then picked up the small fork from the cake box and lifted a piece of cake to her lips. “Try it.”
Su Jiu didn’t bother with pleasantries and took a bite. The rich sweetness of the cake filled her mouth and lifted her spirits.
Rong Si had specially made this strawberry cake. When he fed her a strawberry and she ate it, her eyes closing in happiness, he smiled back.
Su Jiu couldn’t seem to stop smiling.
Rong Si hadn’t always liked to smile, but he had never been stingy with his smiles in front of her. It was only in front of her that he realized he could smile, and did so often. It was so unlike him.
The two of them sat down on the bench by the roadside and ate the cake. Su Jiu rested her head on his shoulder and enjoyed it as he fed her. She was in a good mood. Suddenly, she felt that happiness was so simple.
