Xia Chujian was delighted to see Ning Zheng. She hugged him and kissed him, saying, "Today is Ning Zheng's birthday feast. We're all benefiting from little Ning Zheng!"
"Come on, everyone, let's sing 'Happy Birthday' for Ning Zheng!"
The group in the backyard immediately began singing badly out of tune. Even Housekeeping Robot Liushun joined in.
After they finished singing, everyone sat down around the long table and began eating.
Neither Ning Sa nor Ning Zheng had anything to complain about when it came to Xia Yuanfang's cooking.
They did not even have time to talk, afraid their mouths would not be enough.
Xia Yuanfang had put a great deal of effort into preparing this meal.
Not only could Ning Sa and Ning Zheng not stop eating, but even Xia Chujian and her friends buried their heads in their food, with no time at all for idle chatter.
After everyone had finished eating, Xia Yuanfang brought over a breathtakingly beautiful birthday cake!
Since it was a birthday cake for a child, it was not especially elaborate, but it was incredibly tempting and charming.
It practically hit every point of a child's aesthetic taste.
Sure enough, when Ning Zheng saw it, he could not bear to eat it. He clamored about taking the birthday cake home to worship it! Ning Sa finally managed to persuade him otherwise and had everyone share the cake.
Only after Ning Zheng ate more than half of it by himself did he smile again.
Dinner lasted from six in the evening until nine, by which time the skies over the Imperial Capital were completely dark.
Housekeeping Robot Liushun had already cleared the dining table and brought out fruit, pastries, and tea.
Ning Zheng ran wild in the backyard with Wufu, Small Nine Xiang, Sixi, A Wu,
