Chapter 278

The next day, when Lu Jinnian woke up, Qiao Anhao was still asleep . He prepared quietly, making sure not to disturb her before leaving for work .

At the door, he turned and saw her still deep asleep, and he pondered for awhile before taking large strides towards the bed . Staring down at her, he lowered his head to kiss her temples before tugging the blanket around her . Satisfied, he walked out of the bedroom .

While he was searching for his car keys in his pockets, he felt the box that he had deliberately brought along in the morning . Sitting in the car, he paused momentarily before removing the tie clips from the box . Looking at the rear mirror, he attached the tie clips before driving off in satisfaction .

When Qiao Anhao woke up, it was close to 11 am in the morning, but because she had slept late the night before, she still felt sleepy . She widened her eyes before turning back to hug the blankets, preparing to sleep more . But after closing her eyes for half a minute, she jolted awake, remembering her plans .

She turned to look at the time before rushing to prepare herself .

When she came down, Madam Chen had already prepared lunch . Qiao Anhao hurriedly filled her stomach, then pulled Madam Chen upstairs to help her blow the balloons to decorate the room .

Qiao Anhao deliberately moved the flower racks in the balcony aside, and with Madam Chen’s help, she started arranging the candles she had bought .

Even though it was just a simple “Happy Birthday Lu Jinnian”, the two of them struggled for two hours .

After decorating the room, Qiao Anhao looked around to inspect the decor . Satisfied, she got Madam Chen to bring all her baking supplies to the kitchen .

Ever since she was young, Qiao Anhao had never set foot in the kitchen, much less to say bake a cake . This was the first time in her life that she was making it, and it was indeed an uphill task . Luckily, Madam Chen was experienced, and with her guidance, she was able to finish baking a simple cheese cake .

After waiting for the cake to cool, she started to add a layer of buttercream while instructing Madam Chen to cut some fresh fruits for the cake . Lastly, in the empty space in the middle, she used red cream to write an almost illegible “Happy Birthday” .

Qiao Anhao inspected the cake, the taste was still unknown, but it’s appearance was passable . Pleased with her product, she hid the cake in the freezer section .

Madam Chen smiled and started to wash up . “Mrs . Lu, Mr . Lu will definitely be happy with your surprise!”

Qiao Anhao’s lips curled into crescents as she grinned happily, staring at the cake in the freezer . Turning back to Madam Chen, she instructed, “Madam Chen, why don’t you take the day off today? You can come back tomorrow afternoon . “

Madam Chen understood instantly . “Yes, yes! How could I forget! If it’s Mr . Lu’s birthday, you must not want to be disrupted . I’ll leave after packing up . “

Qiao Anhao smiled in embarrassment . “Thank you Madam Chen . “

Madam Chen waved her hands, packing up swiftly before leaving .
