With just a few opportunities to dine with them, she couldn't make an accurate judgment, so she could only make a rough guess.
Hearing Xia Luo say that, Mr. Qin smiled even more heartily: "You are such a humble kid. Just looking at it, I think it's very appetizing!"
With that said, Mr. Qin greeted the others warmly: "Don't just watch, eat quickly, don't wait for the food to get cold!"
As today's birthday boy, Qin Shaoheng picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I won't say anything too sensational. Anyway, thank you all very much. I have a very happy birthday. I would like to propose a toast to you all."
Facing his most important family members, Qin Shaoheng was in a very relaxed state, without his usual polite and distant smile.
The brief opening remarks, although there are no fancy words, are warm and natural.
Following his words, several other people also raised their glasses.
The wine glasses touched each other lightly, gesturing to each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.
Although the Qin family is a famous family that stands at the top of the Star Federation, Qin Shaoheng, as the next successor, prefers such private family banquets to those gorgeous and extravagant large-scale dinners.
In his heart, being able to have dinner with his family like this, and the happiness revealed in the ordinary, is better than those luxurious banquets.
At the dinner table, the family chatted from time to time.
No one will deliberately cater to or please others. When everyone sits together, they can say whatever they want.
In the Qin family, at least among the three of them, the grandfather and grandson, there is really no intrigue among the big families.
Xia Luo knew that whether it was Mr. Qin or Qin Shaoheng, they must be ruthless characters.
How can a person who can support a big family be an ordinary person?
However, their thunderous methods are only aimed at outsiders, and they will definitely not target their own family members.
As the only outsider at the dinner table, Charlotte always kept her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart. If others don't talk to her, she won't speak easily.
Of course, she won't feel constrained by this.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Charlotte took the initiative to speak for the first time: "I'm sorry, I want to excuse myself and go to the kitchen."
Hearing this, Mr. Qin asked in confusion: "Xiao Xia, why are you going to the kitchen again?"
Mr. Qin asked what the other two people were thinking. Qin Shaoheng and Qin Shaoyang also turned their attention to Xia Luo, not knowing what she wanted to do.
Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Charlotte remained calm and just replied in a normal way: "I want to make birthday noodles."
Now, everyone finally understood.
However, Mr. Qin said: "Xiao Xia, there is a chef in the kitchen, so don't go and work hard. Eat more quickly and don't starve yourself."
However, Xia Luo explained his original intention: "It's like this, Mr. Qin, Major General Qin has been troublesome to give me some knowledge on mecha driving. I also want to find an opportunity to express my gratitude."
Charlotte said slowly, although she would not regard this birthday meal as a thank you gift, after all, it felt too insignificant, but at least she wanted to do her best.
"I originally wanted to use this meal to express my gratitude today, but everyone took good care of me and didn't let me continue cooking. It's just this bowl of birthday noodles. I hope I can finish it no matter what. This is my intention."
Charlotte always likes to have a beginning and an end when doing things.
She has said so, and of course Mr. Qin can't refute it.
What's more, he wanted to express his gratitude to his eldest grandson, so it would be unreasonable for him to stop him.
With Mr. Qin's approval, Qin Shaoheng and Qin Shaoyang naturally had no objections.
So, Charlotte got up to say goodbye and went to the kitchen.
Xia Luo's neither humble nor arrogant look made Mr. Qin couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Xia is a really good kid. Not everyone knows how to be grateful these days."
Qin Shaoheng's eyes were smiling, and he just looked at Xia Luo's leaving figure quietly without making any further comments.
Qin Shaoyang said from the side: "Of course, to tell you the truth, although I also prepared the meal today, it was Charlotte who contributed more. But did you see what she said? Charlotte is not Someone who will take credit for his achievements."
When they were in Gevos, Qin Shaoyang and Charlotte were from the same department.
Although her learning progress was much faster than his, and she no longer participated in the basic courses later, they still had many opportunities to interact with each other.
After more than a year of getting along, Qin Shaoyang has a deeper understanding of Xia Luo.
Recalling the first time they met, at least as far as Qin Shaoyang was concerned, he couldn't stand her at all, and even repeatedly made things difficult for her.
But I didn't expect that one year later, I would change my mind about her so completely.
Mr. Qin responded with a smile: "Yes, that kid is indeed very humble and very calm in his conduct."
Qin Shaoheng listened with a smile, but did not agree with anything.
After a while, he said naturally: "Grandpa, I will also go to the kitchen to have a look. I am a little greedy for the birthday noodles that come once a year."
Qin Shaoheng said it so casually that Mr. Qin did not doubt that he was there, so he smiled and waved: "Go, you kid is not young anymore, sometimes you act like a big kid."
Qin Shaoheng responded with a smile: "In Grandpa's eyes, I will always be a child."
After saying that, he left his seat and headed to the kitchen.
Mr. Qin continued to talk to his grandson. The old man was really very happy today.
After Charlotte arrived in the kitchen, she briefly explained the situation to the chef.
The chef knew that she was a guest of the Qin family and was very polite to her.
After learning that this was Mr. Qin's arrangement, he gave her the job of making birthday noodles.
After looking at the time, it was getting late, so Charlotte suggested that they go have dinner first. She would take care of the kitchen, so there was no need to worry.
The chefs were all busy now. After hearing Charlotte's suggestion, they went to the small restaurant for employees to have dinner without any further excuses.
When Qin Shaoheng walked in, the first thing he saw was Xia Luo's busy figure.
He did not go in immediately, but leaned against the door and looked at her quietly.
By some strange coincidence, he actually thought of his mother.
My father and mother have a very good relationship. I remember a long time ago, whenever my father was at home, my mother would cook delicious food for him.
My mother is a gentle and beautiful person. For her father, she is also happy to delve into food. She does not think that it is a servant's job like other noble ladies.
In Qin Shaoheng's eyes, such a mother is the most beautiful and moving.
Charlotte, who was currently busy in the kitchen, was clearly dressed plainly and without makeup, but he couldn't take his eyes away.
