That Doesn't Count

Madam Cheng took that year's birthday very seriously because it was the first birthday she could spend with Jiang Yao after finding her. With only a few days left, she called Jiang Yao's mother to discuss Jiang Yao's birthday.

"Madam Cheng expressed an interest in attending your birthday celebration at the army base. Is that okay? Yaoyao, why don't we sit down and have a meal together for your birthday?" Jiang Yao's mother suggested.

Jiang Yao came to a complete halt. Her toes were circling the ground. She appeared unconcerned as if she was seriously considering the question.

Lu Xingzhi stepped forward, one hand on Jiang Yao's waist. He was afraid she would trip herself later because of her absent-mindedness.

She returned to her senses when she noticed Lu Xingzhi approaching her and looked up at the person beside her. She gave Lu Xingzhi a wink before nodding to Mrs. Jiang. "Sure, as long as you are happy about it," she replied casually.
