Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 889: Anniversary Banquet Incident

Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen spent a whole month preparing for their daughter Xiaoyueliang's first birthday party. Lu Jingchen personally took care of everything, from the selection of the banquet venue to every detail of the decoration. He hoped that this first birthday party would not only be a celebration, but also leave his daughter with unforgettable memories.

The banquet was held in a European-style manor on the outskirts of the city. The lawn was green, the flowers were blooming, and the white curtains danced in the wind, like a dreamy fairy tale world. In the hall, the crystal chandelier cast a soft light, illuminating the long table filled with delicacies. Each table was decorated with pink and white roses, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing. In the corner, a carefully customized carousel cake was particularly eye-catching. The pink cream decoration was delicate and exquisite, and the lifelike carousel seemed to be able to gallop in the next second. This was a masterpiece that Lu Jingchen specially invited a top dessert chef to spend several days to create, carrying his full love for his daughter.

Guests arrived one after another, the laughter of relatives and friends intertwined, and everyone's face was filled with a blessing smile. Jiang Ciyou wore an elegant white floor-length dress, her long hair was tied up, and she wore pearl earrings carefully selected by Lu Jingchen. She gently held Xiaoyueyue, who was wearing a pink princess dress and a small crown on her head, and greeted and thanked the guests. Lu Jingchen wore a neat black suit, with an upright posture and extraordinary handsomeness. His eyes always followed his wife and daughter. From time to time, he stepped forward to help Jiang Ciyou take the gifts handed over by the guests, or gently teased Xiaoyueyue, causing the child to giggle.

The banquet reached its climax, and everyone gathered in front of the cake, ready to witness the warm moment of Little Moon's one-year-old celebration. Lu Jingchen personally placed his daughter on the end of a table covered with red velvet, which was filled with various items with different meanings: gold ingots representing wealth, books symbolizing knowledge, paintbrushes representing artistic talent, seals indicating career, as well as stethoscopes, footballs and other dazzling items. Little Moon opened her big round eyes and looked at everything in front of her curiously, waving her chubby little hands in the air, as if she was hesitating which one to grab first.

Just when everyone was holding their breath and full of expectation, something unexpected happened. Without any warning, the table on which the cake was placed made a slight "creaking" sound, and then the base supporting the cake began to shake. Lu Jingchen was the first to notice the abnormality, and his face suddenly changed. He rushed forward and tried to hold the cake, but it was too late. With a loud "bang", the carousel cake that had taken countless efforts collapsed like a snowy mountain, and layers of cream and exquisite decorations instantly scattered all over the ground, and the splashed debris even flew onto the surrounding guests.

The originally lively and cheerful atmosphere froze in an instant, the guests opened their mouths in astonishment, the scene was dead silent, only the soft music was still flowing at an inappropriate time. Lu Jingchen stood in front of the remains of the cake, his face was terribly gloomy, his eyes were full of anger and self-blame. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white due to the force, his chest rose and fell violently, obviously trying his best to restrain his anger. This was the most important gift he prepared for his daughter, and he poured out his beautiful expectations for Xiaoyueliang's growth. Now it was destroyed, how could he not be heartbroken and angry?

The pastry chef was so frightened that his face turned pale. He walked forward tremblingly, his voice shaking: "Mr. Lu, I... I don't know why this happened. I checked it many times before, and there's no problem..." Lu Jingchen turned his head abruptly and stared at him coldly. The look in his eyes seemed to be able to see through people. The pastry chef was so scared that he held back the second half of his sentence. His legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Ciyou also hurried over with Xiaoyueliang in her arms. Looking at the mess on the ground, her eyes were full of regret, but at this moment she was more worried about Lu Jingchen's mood. She gently reached out and held Lu Jingchen's arm, and comforted him softly: "Jingchen, don't be angry, it's okay, Xiaoyueliang is still young, she won't care..." Lu Jingchen turned his head and looked at his wife and daughter. The anger in his eyes subsided a little, but he still couldn't hide his loss.

At this moment, a childish voice broke the deadlock. "Dad..." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiaoyue lying in Jiang Ciyou's arms, looking at Lu Jingchen with sparkling eyes, pointing her little finger at him, and calling in a baby voice. She didn't seem to be frightened at all by the collapse of the cake, and her eyes were only focused on the tall father in front of her. Lu Jingchen's heart trembled suddenly, and his eyes were red in an instant. At this moment, all the anger and annoyance disappeared, and only the lovely appearance of his daughter remained in his eyes.

Regardless of the cream on his suit, Lu Jingchen slowly squatted down, opened his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Little Moon, come, come to Daddy." Little Moon seemed to understand what he said, her mouth corners raised, revealing two small teeth that had just emerged, and smiled sweetly at him, then struggled hard to get out of Jiang Ciyou's arms. She took small, unsteady steps and staggered towards Lu Jingchen, her small body like a brave fledgling, trying to flap its wings.

One step, two steps... Every time Xiaoyue took a step, Lu Jingchen's heart tightened. The guests around were also deeply moved by this scene, holding their breath and staring without blinking. When Xiaoyue finally walked into Lu Jingchen's arms and threw herself into his arms, Lu Jingchen hugged her tightly, as if he was hugging the whole world. At this moment, the flash lights lit up like stars, freezing this touching scene forever.

Jiang Ciyou stood aside, tears in her eyes, looking at the father and daughter, her heart full of emotion and relief. This unexpected storm did not bring any gloom, but made this special day even more unforgettable. The guests also recovered from their astonishment and burst into warm applause and cheers for Xiaoyueliang's bravery and the deep affection between this family.

Amid the blessings of the crowd, Lu Jingchen stood up holding Xiaoyueliang, walked to Jiang Ciyou, put his arm around his wife's waist, and the three of them clung to each other. He whispered, "Ciyou, thank you, and thank you Xiaoyueliang for giving me such a wonderful moment." Jiang Ciyou smiled and nodded, her eyes full of love, "This is our common happiness."

Then, Lu Jingchen waved his hand and ordered the servants to quickly clean up the scene and replace the spare exquisite cake. The banquet continued, the music played again happily, and the guests gathered around, teasing Xiaoyue and sharing this joy. And Xiaoyue, holding tightly in her hand the paintbrush she had just caught, seemed to have started her wonderful future journey. Accompanied by her parents, she was not afraid of wind and rain and moved forward courageously.
