Chapter 1299: Chapter 1298: Growing Up

The lobby manager saw Luo Yirui and smiled as he bent down, "Young master is here."

Luo Yirui nodded, "Are my mom and the others in the small hall on the top floor?"

The lobby manager responded, then watched Luo Yirui quickly walk away.

There was no exaggeration of a second-generation rich, no impatience, and no arrogance. Luo Yirui was very likable. However, no one dared to underestimate this child, setting aside his status, no one dared look down on him.

After taking the elevator down, Luo Yirui walked to the small hall entrance and heard the sound of a birthday song from the ajar door. Luo Yirui scratched his head. In the end, he was still late.

Luo Yirui gently opened a crack in the door. Inside, the lights were already off, and only the candles on the front cake were shining. He breathed a sigh of relief. Hopefully, no one noticed him...

Thinking this, he sneaked in quietly, sat down on the sofa at the back, and acted as if he had been there all along...

On stage, the fifteen-year-old girl had grown up beautifully. At this moment, she was wearing an ice-blue dress and standing there like a little princess, eyes closed, making a wish.

Gong Yunfei stood beside her with a smile, whispered something, and saw Jing Yuansi open her eyes and blow out the candles.

As the lights came on, Luo Yirui was still leisurely sitting there drinking juice when he saw his mom turn around with a playful smile, "Just arrived, huh."

Luo Yirui: "..."

Can’t you stop setting me up!

No one initially noticed Luo Yirui, but now everyone’s eyes were on him. Luo Yirui stood up awkwardly, chuckled twice, and said, "Got delayed by something, happy birthday Sister Yuanxi!"

After looking around the room, Luo Yirui realized that few people were present, almost all familiar faces. He sighed inwardly; it seemed that even if his mom hadn’t spoken, his presence would still draw attention.

Thinking about it, Jing Changle’s existence was unknown to the Pengge Sect, and only Gong Yunfei’s siblings and Jing Yuansi were on good terms with Qingyu. Other Pengge Sect members were just passably acquainted with Qingyu.

So hosting a birthday party for Jing Yuansi was just about inviting a few of their childhood friends to celebrate together.

Fu Xuan Ge stood aside with arms crossed, saying coldly, "The big shots always appear last."

He and Hou Baiyu were the oldest among these kids, but Hou Baiyu generally didn’t hang out with these kids, while Fu Xuan Ge had childhood experiences with them, so he got along well with them. Although he constantly mocked them, his sharp tongue was quite hurtful.

Little Fatty Zu Yan was still fat and always considered himself quite handsome. The only flaw was that, although older than Luo Yirui, he still wasn’t taller than him!

This was hard to tolerate. He had tried all kinds of talismanic water, yet still couldn’t surpass this kid in height, which was heartbreaking.

"You arrived just in time; we were about to cut the cake when you came," Little Fatty said with a cheeky grin.

Luo Yirui walked over and spread his hands, "You can have my slice; the weight doesn’t stay on my body anyway. I usually grow upward."

Little Fatty was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "Don’t hit below the belt; you’re breaking my heart!"

Fu Xuan Ge gave him a cold glance, "So that’s what’s breaking your heart..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Little Fatty clutched his chest, raising a hand to stop him, "Wait a moment, don’t speak yet, I need to calm down, the two of you together, it’s too much for my little heart."
