Chapter 939: Happy Birthday!
Chu Zhenyan was teased by Wu Lichen and glared at him angrily: "Didn't you have an early birthday this year?"
Wu Lichen was not surprised that Chu Zhenyan remembered his birthday, because in the past, Chu Zhenyan would give him some expensive gifts. Wu Lichen cherished these gifts during his lifetime. He thinks the gift is good. When he saw the birthday cake, he suddenly realized that those precious gifts were nowhere near as good as a birthday cake.
Wu Lichen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Zhenyan, don't give me a birthday cake."
Chu Zhenyan glanced at Wu Lichen comically and went upstairs. "I gave you so much cake that you couldn't eat it. You're going to work. I'll go upstairs first. ”
Wu Lichen tugged at his lips: "Okay, by the way, don't forget to leave me a piece of cake."
Chu Zhenyan nodded, the rest of the cake was inedible, and there was nothing to share with the neighbors. Chu Zhenyan and Wu Lichen strode upstairs.
When she returned home, Chu Zhenyan was afraid that she would not be able to remember. She wanted to ask Wu Lichen about her latest plans. She forgot all these worries.
But the thought flashed. Chu Zhenyan put the cake on the coffee table and began to prepare dinner.
It was late for her to pick up the cake in the afternoon. Chu Zhenyan walked into the kitchen and stewed the pickled fish first.
The beef was divided into three portions, two of which Chu Zhenyan used to make steak, and the other part was that she was worried that Liu Yali was not used to it, and planned to stir-fry the beef with green peppers.
Because she bought a lot of salads at this time, Chu Zhenyan originally wanted to make vegetable salads, so she could only use soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil.
However, since Liu Yali has not yet returned, Chu Zhenyan is not in a hurry to light candles.
She looked at the time. The fish in the pot was almost cooked, and the aroma wafted out. Chu Zhenyan turned down the heat and simmered it over low heat.
Now, she pinched it, counted the time when Liu Yali came back, and began to fry the steak.
At seven o'clock, Chu Zhenyan put the fish on the plate and took it out again. By the way, she found a box of matches and lit two red candles on the dining table.
In an instant, the light of the candles illuminated the living room. Chu Zhenyan looked at the flickering candlelight, and first turned off the light in the living room, leaving only the kitchen light.
As soon as the steak was fried, Chu Zhenyan only cooked it for eight minutes before it was served. Just as she was putting the steak on her plate, there was a sudden sound of the door opening.
Chu Zhenyan's eyes lit up. Chu Zhenyan knew that Liu Yali was back, went out with a plate in her hand, and hurriedly set up the tableware. She also brought out a few other plates.
When Liu Yali entered the door, she saw Chu Zhenyan putting the plates. The yellow candlelight reflected on her beautiful face. Liu Yali was stunned, but did not answer. She stared at Chu Zhenyan for a long time, and subconsciously tried to turn on the light.
"Don't open it!" Chu Zhenyan arranged the last dish, which was different from Liu Yali's approach, and quickly reached out to curb Liu Yali's intentions.
"Daughter-in-law?"
Liu Yali wanted to see this lamp because it was inconvenient.
Chu Zhenyan smiled. By the light of the candle, she could see clearly. Even in such a dark environment, Liu Yali's angular face is clearer.
Chu Zhenyan looked at the beautiful Liu Yali and nodded secretly. The atmosphere of the candlelit dinner seemed to be good. At the very least, candlelight can make a person more beautiful and charming.
Chu Zhenyan looked at it for a while, then coughed. She hurriedly ran to Liu Yali and unbuttoned the collar for Liu Yali. She said, "Happy birthday."
Liu Yali's lips curled slightly, and he suddenly hugged Chu Zhenyan, who was helping him take off his coat. His chin was close to Chu Zhenyan's face. Liu Yali said: "Daughter-in-law, you have already said it."
Chu Zhenyan smiled happily: "I want to say it again, sit down first, the food will be cold for a while."
She pushed Liu Yali to sit down. Chu Zhenyan also sat down. "This is my candlelit dinner for you."
"Candlelit dinner?" Liu Yali smiled and looked at the plates on the table by candlelight. Liu Yali had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Chu Zhenyan had already opened the cake in advance and asked Liu Yali to light a candle.
