Chapter 804 - 790 Birthday Banquet
After sitting for a while, Yan Mo left to see his grandfather and chatted with him.
The next day was Xia Yue and Xia Xi’s birthday.
Xia Yu personally delivered longevity noodles to them according to their usual waking up time.
"Big brother, you made this, right?" Xia Yue took a bite and knew immediately, smiling at him with squinted eyes.
"Hmm, my cooking skills haven’t regressed, have they?" Xia Yu responded with a nod and a smile.
"Not at all, it’s still so delicious, thank you, big brother." Xia Yue shook her head with a smile and took another big bite.
"That’s good. Here’s your dress, wear it tonight to attend the banquet. This is the birthday party I’ve prepared for you and Xixi," Xia Yu said, pointing to the gift box beside her. He had someone design a gown for each of them.
"So formal? It’s not even our coming-of-age celebration," Xia Yue looked at him puzzledly as it seemed a bit too grand. Other than the birthdays when they came of age, which were quite grand, the subsequent ones had been much more low-key, usually just receiving a present from the elders and then gathering casually with peers.
"This is your first birthday celebrating together with Xixi, so I wanted to make it grand. We were supposed to hold it back in Kyoto at the Mansion, but Xixi didn’t want a big celebration, and you also dislike gatherings with strangers, so we’re having a small celebration here," Xia Yu explained with a smile.
"Oh, I see," Xia Yue said as she instantly understood. This was Xia Xi’s first birthday since returning to the Xia Family. By all accounts, there ought to have been a massive party at the old Mansion in Kyoto. Since Xia Xi didn’t want that and to prevent her from feeling unbalanced, they had decided not to go through with it and instead have a small event here. That way, both of them could be the stars without worrying about any discomfort.
