The Beautiful Time With You

Chapter 381: Longevity Peach Cake (1)

Shi Yao and Liang Mumu exchanged looks for a brief moment. Liang Mumu didn’t say a word at all, and Shi Yao remained silent too. A moment later, Shi Yao retracted her gaze and followed Lin Jiayi into the banquet hall.

The birthday of Grandpa Lin was an important annual affair to the Lin Family.

Grandpa Lin was fond of Chinese style decorations, and the banquet hall was decorated in accordance with his tastes. The crystal lights that were originally inside the banquet hall were all taken down and replaced with wooden ceiling lights, and the plastic tables were swapped with rustic wooden ones.

There were quite a few guests who had already arrived at the venue, and every single one of them was dressed up exquisitely.

Shortly after Shi Yao and Lin Jiayi entered the banquet hall, Liang Huiling came in with Liang Mumu and Liang Jiusi as well.

Even though Shi Yao was Lin Jiage’s fiancée, her background paled far in comparison to Liang Mumu’s.

Liang Mumu had been attending all sorts of banquets with Liang Huiling ever since she was young, so she was acquainted with many people within this circle. She knew the names of most of the guests present within the hall, and she was able to hold light conversations with them too.

However, the same couldn’t be said about Shi Yao. Other than being close to the Lin Family, she hardly knew anyone in the banquet hall at all.

Having known Liang Mumu for quite some time now, Shi Yao was well aware that Liang Mumu was extremely skilled at socializing, but she seemed exceptionally into it today.

With a wine cup in hand, she walked into social groups with a dignified smile and carried herself with poise. She seemed able to maintain an elegant demeanor no matter where she was, and these traits of hers swiftly placed her in the limelight within the room.

Even the distant relatives of the Lin Family sitting around Shi Yao had begun talking about Liang Mumu, and their mouths were filled with compliments for her.

While the banquet hall was considerably large, it was still only that big. It was inevitable that Liang Mumu would get close to Shi Yao from time to time.

During times like this, Liang Mumu’s voice would seem to raise her voice a little, allowing Shi Yao to hear her words loud and clear.

There was no way Shi Yao couldn’t have known that Liang Mumu’s actions were deliberate. The latter was doing this to show off and highlight the distance between them.

But in Shi Yao’s view, Liang Mumu was simply making a big fuss out of nothing.

No matter how much better Liang Mumu was at socializing than her, she didn’t feel the slightest envy toward her. This was because the Liang Mumu’s limelight was overshadowed by that meter high Longevity Peach Cake placed not too far away from her.

Buttercream, shredded coconut stuffing, chocolate, and all sorts of fruits… How enticing is that…

Just as Shi Yao turned her eyes toward the cake for the nth time, the noisy banquet hall suddenly fell a little silent.

But that being said, Shi Yao wasn’t in the right state of mind to be really paying attention to her surroundings. Her attention was for too glued to that Longevity Peach Cake to notice what was going on.

She hated how time seemed to crawl at a snail’s pace…

Why hadn’t the birthday banquet begun yet? When are they going to start distributing the cake at this rate…

The reason why there was a moment of silence in the banquet hall was due to Lin Jiage’s arrival.

He had never liked wearing tuxedos, but in view that it was his grandfather’s birthday, and that there were many business partners present in the banquet hall, as the only successor to the Lin Family’s company, he had no choice but to put on something appropriate for the occasion.

He was wearing a British style tuxedo, which had a simple yet graceful design. It gave him the appearance of an aristocracy. Paired with his exquisite facial features, he looked just like an artwork carefully sculpted by the hands of God.

The banquet hall remained silent for a good ten seconds before hushed whisperings sounded around.

“Is that Old Master Lin’s grandson? He looks amazing!”
