The surroundings suddenly brightened up, sweeping away the silence in the darkness.
Everyone's eyes felt uncomfortable for a moment, but they quickly adjusted.
Because it was his birthday, Qin Shaoheng cut the cake himself and distributed the cake to everyone.
"Today's cake was made by Charlotte herself. Let's try it." Qin Shaoheng said while dividing the cake.
Mr. Qin was also very supportive: "Oh? Really? Then I will definitely have to eat two more bites!"
Charlotte could feel the kindness of this family towards her, so she said humbly: "A little hobby is not as good as a professional pastry chef."
Mr. Qin looked at her with a smile. He had always admired this child.
Not only was he an excellent cook, but he also worked hard and cooked most of the dishes for the table himself, but he didn't even have the slightest intention of claiming credit.
Let’s just talk about this cake. Not only does it look good, it also tastes great, not inferior to those of professional pastry chefs.
However, although these are commendable, what satisfies Mr. Qin most is Xia Luo's personal characteristics, including her way of dealing with others.
Being down-to-earth, diligent and studious, humble and polite, these are the shining points that Mr. Qin found in Xia Luo.
Of course, he knew that Charlotte had many other advantages, but the old man didn't have much contact with her, so he couldn't understand them thoroughly.
However, Mr. Qin has such rich life experience after all. Even if he has little contact with Xia Luo, it does not prevent him from making speculations from other aspects.
Mr. Qin can deduce one thing or two just by looking at his eldest grandson's attitude towards Xia Luo, if nothing else.
What is the personality of your eldest grandson? If he didn't like Charlotte's personality, then he would never have anything to do with her.
Even if Xia Luo once helped take care of Qin Shaoyang, the Qin family has many other ways to repay her.
After all, considering the Qin family's family status, material rewards couldn't be simpler.
In Mr. Qin's opinion, if Shao Heng hadn't approved of this child, how could he have spared so much time and often accompanied her to train mechas on Little Gallia Star?
You know, Shao Heng has a lot of family affairs to be busy with.
Only by closing his eyes can he reach this point.
This shows that what Charlotte showed during training must be an image of perseverance and perseverance. Perhaps, she is still extremely smart and savvy.
These qualities are the same as Shao Heng's.
Otherwise, if two people have different values and have no similarities in personal characteristics, how can they have a common language? Without a common language, it would be impossible to practice against mechas for so long.
If it is not speculative, half a sentence is too much.
Mr. Qin ate the cake made by Charlotte and got to know her better.
As for Qin Shaoyang next to him, he knew that Charlotte was very good at making pastries as early as the anniversary celebration of Gewars.
Therefore, when he is eating the birthday cake made by Charlotte, he does not find it novel at all, as if it is a very common thing.
As today's birthday boy, Qin Shaoheng was equally attentive in eating the cake, which unexpectedly suited his taste.
Although I praised the cake just now, it was just for the occasion. The little girl has been busy for so long, and she always wants to give people some verbal encouragement.
According to Qin Shaoheng's standards, the dishes and birthday noodles she made taste really good. But he didn't expect that she could even make cakes so well.
This time, he was not being polite. Maybe the two of them could really exchange their cooking experiences.
Qin Shaoheng has a very sensitive sense of taste and cannot eat particularly strong food.
Although the cake made by Charlotte was sprinkled with powdered sugar, it was not sweet and heavy at all, but had a particularly mellow milky aroma.
The chiffon cake is fluffy and soft with a light taste.
Because chiffon cake is weaker than sponge cake in terms of load-bearing, the sandwich inside the cake is not the usual fruit or pudding, but a thin layer of taro paste.
The taro paste is moist and soft, not dry at all. Because it is a very thin layer and no additional sugar is added during the preparation, it does not taste too sweet.
The light and fluffy cake is decorated with a thin layer of taro paste and the refreshing cream. The overall combination is suitable and it tastes very good.
Just from the various materials used and their proportions, you can feel her intentions.
Qin Shaoheng is also good at cooking, so it is not difficult to understand the details.
Regardless of the quality of the ingredients, the cooking method is also very important.
Not only the cakes, but also the dishes on the table are made in a healthy way, and she does not simply pursue the gorgeous appearance of the dishes.
Qin Shaoheng glanced at Xia Luo without leaving any trace. She had indeed put a lot of thought into it.
It can be said that although this birthday family banquet was not grand and luxurious, and there were no other upper-class families participating, and even collateral members of the Qin family were not invited, the entire dining atmosphere was very warm.
The three of them, grandfather and grandson, are enjoying themselves happily.
Xia Luo watched from the side. Although Qin Shaoheng didn't say it clearly, the micro-expressions he showed throughout the meal actually showed his attitude.
He should be satisfied with today's birthday dinner.
In this way, her mission today will be successfully completed.
After the meal, Uncle Lin arranged for the servants to clear the table and remove the birthday-themed atmosphere in the restaurant.
Everything was in order, and Charlotte didn't need to worry about it anymore.
Because he had a bit too much for dinner, Mr. Qin planned to take a walk in the courtyard.
At this time, the two brothers Qin Shaoheng and Qin Shaoyang must be by their side.
Charlotte did not choose to go with her. This was their family's post-dinner walk. If she were present, they would definitely be inconvenienced.
So she cleverly found an excuse and resigned first.
But as soon as she returned to the room, Charlotte saw the small gift box on the table. Only then did she remember that there was something she had forgotten.
She has been busy with the birthday meal today. Because there are many complicated dishes, she spent a lot of energy from beginning to end.
In this way, Xia Luo didn't remember until now that the birthday gift she prepared for Qin Shaoheng had not yet been sent out.
In fact, it's not Xia Luo's fault. Mr. Qin and Qin Shaoyang gave them their own gifts before the dinner started.
At that time, Charlotte was still busy in the kitchen, so she missed it.
Afterwards, because no one mentioned the gift again at the dinner table, she failed to think of it in time.
Now that dinner is over, if you want to give a gift, you have to go find someone specifically.
Otherwise, it is unlikely that we will meet each other outside at night.
It would be convenient for her to wait until tomorrow to give the gift, but a birthday gift that has passed the time is very disrespectful to the recipient.
Charlotte thought about it and finally decided to be more sincere and give the gift away tonight.
