Chapter 264 - 259: Want to Have a Child
Chapter 259: Wishing for a Child
Before long, the kitchen was ready, and the group of people who had been chatting in the corners began to gather around the dining table, waiting for the feast to start.
Even though today’s guests were mostly close-knit relatives, it was a substantial crowd that filled a large table.
Jiang An sat down with Gao Chuan, and as soon as the dishes were almost ready to serve, Gao Yu pushed the cake to the children.
Under everyone’s blessings, Gao Yan was held in Shen Mei’s arms, made his wish with his eyes closed, and then blew out the four candles on the cake.
Everyone knew how Gao Lin and his wife had longed for this grandson, and naturally saw the child as a treasure. The whole gathering’s attention was on the little birthday star, teasing and laughing heartily at the child’s witty responses.
The cake was cut, and a while passed before the chopsticks were lifted. Ji Wanwan came forward to pick up Gao Yan and put him in the chair next to her, specially fetching a pair of chopsticks and a bowl for the child and attending to his meal.
Jiang An was sitting beside the mother and son, helping Ji Wanwan take care of the little boy’s dining.
With the family together, naturally, the conversation turned to family matters, with the men occasionally discussing company matters. Jiang An wasn’t interested in listening, her gaze on the plate of spicy crawfish in front of her, uncertain how to begin eating.
Although there were gloves prepared on the side, she was always averse to hassle, and after glancing twice, she gave up and turned to a plate of vegetables instead.
