Chapter 1179

After blowing out the candles, Yu Lili took the plastic knife and started to cut the cake . But, the cake was too huge and too thick, and Yu Lili didn’t have enough strength . After numerous attempts, all she succeeded in doing was making a mess out of the cake .

Shen Zhilie couldn’t bear to watch on . He made his way behind Yu Lili and reached out his hand to grasp hers .

Yu Lili’s attention had been completely focused on cutting the cake . She hadn’t expected Shen Zhilie to suddenly do that .

She could feel the heat cleanly radiating off the man behind her, and his warm breath by her ear . It was a very intimate posture .

A few people in the crowd couldn’t take their eyes off the both of them . Her two colleagues wanted to coo . Upon seeing how unperturbed Shen Zhilie seemed to be, they started to second-guess themselves that they were reading too much into it .

However, Yu Lili remained visibly taken by surprise . Before she could turn her head, she felt Shen Zhilie exerting a pressure through his hand to hers . The cake was cut right through .

Once the cake had been properly sliced, Shen Zhilie released her hand .

“Happy Birthday!” Ye Qianqian led in greeting .

Looking at Yu Lili’s dumbfounded expression, everyone around tacitly agreed not to make mention of what had just transpired .

Yu Lili turned her head to glare at Shen Zhilie . She realized that he wasn’t even looking at her . He was busy transferring the already sliced pieces of cake onto smaller plates .

When Yu Lili saw that, she bent her head to continue cutting the cake . Halfway through, Shen Zhilie stopped her and took the knife away . “You’re too slow . Let me do it . “

A few women around witnessed the exchange . Old Mrs . Shen observed it, too, and was pretty pleased at the tricks her grandson had up his sleeve . She silently gave Shen Zhilie a look of approval and went back to her act of playing dumb .

When everyone was done with the cake, they agreed that they were all too full to continue with the previous supper plans . Ye Qianqian managed to come across a deck of poker cards, and four people started playing .

Old Mrs . Shen was getting on in age, and, furthermore, she had woken up early that morning . She started to feel drowsy after the cake . Without knowing it, she fell asleep on the couch as she watched the group of youngsters playing cards .

Old Mrs . Shen was seated behind Shen Zhilie . Yu Lili was seated opposite them . When she saw the old lady fall asleep, she suggested to Shen Zhilie to take his grandmother back . No matter how they tried, they couldn’t wake Old Mrs . Shen up . As a result, she had no choice but to have Shen Zhilie carry his grandmother to her bedroom to sleep .

After a few rounds of cards, everyone began to disperse around the apartment . The conversation finally turned to what plans people had for the remaining last two days of holiday . But, that discussion yielded no results .

Yu Lili’s two colleagues started to feel sleepy, so they left first . Shortly after, Shen Zhilie suddenly looked up and asked, “Why don’t we go on a holiday trip together?”

Ye Qianqian got excited at that prospect . Looking at Shen Zhilie with bright eyes, she asked, “Where shall we go?”

“Let’s go to Fujian! I heard that it’s a really beautiful place!” Shen Zhilie’s words were directed toward Ye Qianqian, but his eyes were focused on Yu Lili . “My grandma wanted to go there very much . But, because you weren’t going, she changed her mind . It’s rare that Grandma is in the mood to go out . Won’t you come with us?”

Although Old Mrs . Shen was advanced in years, she remained a child at heart and was very playful . It was evident that she had been glued to Yu Lili for these past few days .
