Chapter 237: Chapter 237: The Real Birthday Gift

Translator: 549690339

Rong Yan hadn’t finished speaking when she was forcibly pulled to sit down next to the dining table.

She had seen too many surprises tonight, so no matter what kind of romantic surprise she saw now, she wouldn’t be too astonished anymore.

But when she saw the food laid out on the extravagant and beautiful dining table, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

What was that seemingly burnt thing on the plate? Steak?

He had prepared a beautiful view, birthday gifts, and then this carefully prepared candlelit dinner turned out to be a meal of pitch-black, unidentifiable meat?!

“Li Shengxiao, this steak…” She couldn’t find the right adjective.

It was really ugly!

Perhaps her expression said it all, as she clearly saw the man opposite her pulling out a chair with a momentary look of awkwardness on his handsome face. However, he quickly sat down, his lips briefly parting, “I made it.”

“Cough cough!” Rong Yan silently swallowed the words ‘Was the chef too busy to come home’ and instead asked, “You made it?”

How did he have time to do all this? Didn’t he go to the company?

Could it be that he personally arranged everything here?

Rong Yan’s heartstrings were unexpectedly plucked.

Li Shengxiao had already returned to normal, his noble falcon-like eyes glanced at her, saying, “I learned from someone. The appearance isn’t great, but the taste is still okay.”

Rong Yan really wanted to ask how he knew the taste was okay, but she wasn’t going to be that petty. Knowing that the Western meal on the table was made by him, she briskly picked up the knife and fork beside her, cut a piece, and fed it into her mouth.

Li Shengxiao kept his gaze on her reaction, and seeing that she had taken a bite, he asked with the cutlery in his hands, “How is it?”

Rong Yan chewed on the steak in her mouth, blinked her eyes.

How to put it, she could taste that the quality of the steak was very good, clearly made from a super expensive cut. As for the taste… it was just like what she saw. Other people’s steaks might be rare, medium, or well done, while hers was— thoroughly cooked! Extremely well done! The beef had a chewy and springy texture, not like a pan-seared steak, more like the feeling of grilled steak from a street stall.

But the taste was good anyway.

For her, as long as it wasn’t without salt, she could accept it.

She swallowed a small piece of beef, her eyes curved into a smile as she gave her answer, “The taste is not bad, it’s tastier than I imagined. I’m not lying to you. You should try it too; you’ll know once you try.”

Pleased with her fairly good review, Li Shengxiao’s mood brightened, he elegantly cut a small piece and tasted it.

At the first bite, he frowned slightly. But seeing the person opposite eating so cheerfully, he suddenly felt the taste was indeed not bad. At least, he thought the steak was good as long as he was eating it together with her!

Meanwhile, at the Rong Family residence.

Jiang Meiqi sat on the couch with a livid complexion, furiously throwing her phone to the ground. Her expression was so frightening that it scared the servants too much to dare to pick it up for her.

“You all go out; I can be here by myself.” Old Madame Jiang went over, picked up the phone from the ground, and instructed the nearby servants.

The servants, as if granted amnesty, said, “Alright.”

They ran faster than anything.

Once everyone had left, Old Madame Jiang replaced the phone on the table with a disapproving expression, saying to the madam on the couch, “You shouldn’t always make trouble with Nanfeng, you’re always like this, and it makes Nanfeng even less willing to come back.”

Jiang Meiqi was in a rage, and replied irritably, “Let him not come back then, he hasn’t considered this place home for a long time. How often has he been home recently? Is this still his home? For him, this place is just a hotel where he comes and goes as he pleases!”
