Chapter 839: Chapter 842 Candlelight Dinner
"Last year at this time, I was still worried that the two of us might starve to death. I didn’t dare to dream about today, having not only you but also our child. Besides being full of love for you, I’m filled with gratitude."
Tan Zhenghong said emotionally, everything he had was given to him by Duo’er.
Qiao Duo’er said with a slight smile, "Then tell me, how do you plan to thank me?"
"Isn’t giving myself to you enough?"
Tan Zhenghong said with an aggrieved look, unaware that many people coveted his handsome face and physique.
However, in his life, he loved only Duo’er and had no thoughts for anyone else.
Shouldn’t a certain little pregnant woman be content with what she has?
Qiao Duo’er deliberately nodded, "You should give yourself to me, since you’re full of love for me."
After thinking for a while, Tan Zhenghong then said, "From now on, every day like today, I’ll cook a big meal for you and make you a cake, how’s that?"
"That’s barely passable," Qiao Duo’er said, her lips uncontrollably curling upward.
She couldn’t help but fantasize about growing old, with an elderly Tan Zhenghong still treating her like a treasure.
Tan Zhenghong timely pushed the cake towards Duo’er, "See if it’s to your taste. If there’s anything wrong, I’ll improve it next year."
"That won’t do, there are other steps before eating the cake."
Tan Zhenghong was confused. It’s just eating cake? What steps could there be?
Qiao Duo’er explained, "Wishes made on a birthday come true, so move the candle closer, I’m about to make a wish and blow out the candles!"
Tan Zhenghong still didn’t understand but obediently did as told.
There were two candlesticks on the dinner table, and he moved one in front of Duo’er.
This was their first year, and one candle was perfectly appropriate.
Qiao Duo’er clasped her hands together and earnestly made a wish.
Her wish was simple; she hoped that the family could always stay together and extend their happy days longer and longer.
Then she opened her eyes and blew out the candle in one breath.
"Wife, what wish did you make?"
Tan Zhenghong asked curiously. He just wanted to know if he was included in Duo’er’s wish.
Qiao Duo’er pressed her lips together, "If I say it, it won’t come true. Light the candle quickly, I need to cut the cake!"
Tan Zhenghong lit the candle, and Qiao Duo’er began cutting the cake. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
This cake was simple but the most beautiful one she had ever seen.
"The first piece for you, you worked hard today."
"The second piece for me, to wish myself a happy birthday."
"The third piece for... Have you seen Almond? She came back with me."
Qiao Duo’er suddenly realized a problem.
That was, Almond was missing, and it seemed like it had been a long time since she had seen her, as if she had disappeared after entering the house.
Where could she have gone?
"I don’t know, she must have gone to avoid suspicion. Today is our day; you’re not allowed to worry about it. I’ve already left some food in the kitchen," Tan Zhenghong said seriously.
Almond had been with the Tan Family for quite a while now. There definitely wouldn’t be a problem.
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "Then it’s just the two of us; no need to think about anyone else. Let’s eat!"
The table was full of a variety of dishes. There weren’t many of each, but everything was exquisite and all Duo’er’s favorites.
That made her unable to stop once she picked up her chopsticks.
As usual, Tan Zhenghong moved all the fish bellies onto his wife’s plate in front of her. The belly meat was tender, with fewer bones, and the tastiest part.
"Eat while it’s hot; it will have a fishy smell when it gets cold."
Qiao Duo’er shared half with Tan Zhenghong, "You eat too. I also want the fish tail, but you’ll have to pick out the bones for me."
Tan Zhenghong immediately picked up the fish tail and started carefully deboning it.
