Chapter 1186: Three Wishes


    "Wife, why didn''t you turn on the lights when you''re at home?" He was greeted by the warmth of the


    heater the moment he walked into the kitchen. Lu Xingzhi hastily removed his military coat and walked


    toward themotion in the kitchen.


    "Wait, don''te in!" Jiang Yao yelled hurriedly from the kitchen.


    Lu Xingzhi''s footsteps came to a halt.


    "Go back to the living room and close your eyes!" Jiang Yao shouted from the kitchen but did note


    out.


    Lu Xingzhi arched his brow. He had no idea what Jiang Yao was up to, so he took two steps back and


    stood in front of the coffee table in the living room. "It''s done."


    "Did you shut your eyes?" The person in the kitchen wanted to confirm it.


    Sergeant Lu, who was standing in the living room with his eyes open, acknowledged her without


    hesitation. Then, he stared at the door of the kitchen with burning eyes.


    Lu Xingzhi waited for a few seconds but saw no sign of Jiang Yao. Instead, he heard the crackling of a


    lighter in the kitchen. After a few sizzles, a faint light came from the kitchen.


    Then, in his line of sight, a dim light steadily brightened up and approached the kitchen door.


    A few secondster, he noticed Jiang Yao cautiously strolling out of the kitchen with a birthday cake.

    She probably did not expect him to open his eyes. She raised her head and looked at him. Then her


    face froze, and sheughed angrily.


    "I knew you wouldn''t be so honest!" If she had known sooner, she would have poked her head out to


    see if he had closed his eyes before taking the cake out.


    That guy had herpletely fooled. He even reacted loudly when she questioned if he had closed his


    eyes!


    Jiang Yao cast a sidelong nce at Lu Xingzhi, who suddenly smiled. In his opinion, she seemed


    exceedingly coy, as if she were acting coquettishly.


    It would be ridiculous for her to take the cake back to the kitchen and start again since she had been


    spotted. As a result, she could only walk toward Lu Xingzhi slowly as she held the cake and sang the


    birthday song.


    "I went to Mrs. Lin''s mother''s house this morning to borrow their kitchen to bake you a birthday cake. I


    know you don''t like sweet foods, so I did not put too much sugar in it." Jiang Yao paused in front of Lu


    Xingzhi with the cake in her palm. The two of them were only a cake''s width apart. "I do not know how


    to cook, so I can''t make the longevity noodles for you. Instead, I baked you a cake to reflect my


    emotions. Happy Birthday to you! Blow the candles and make a wish."


    Lu Xingzhi did not take the cake. Instead, he covered the back of Jiang Yao''s hands with both hands


    while she held the cake in hers.


    "How many wishes can I make?" Lu Xingzhi asked.


    "Three," Jiang Yao answered.


    "The first wish is to grow old with you." Lu Xingzhi looked at the face in the candlelight. "The second


    wish is to have a son."


    "You don''t have to say it!" Jiang Yao eximed.


    However, Lu Xingzhi shook his head. "I''m afraid that if I don''t say it, you won''t be able to hear me. And


    if I say it softly, God won''t be able to hear me."


    "The third wish..." There was a pause as the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "...is to have a


    daughter."


    After Lu Xingzhi paused, Jiang Yao said in a low voice, "To have a daughter."


    Unsurprisingly, the two of them did not miss a single word. She understood what was in his mind.


    All three of his wishes were rted to her; he was afraid that if he did not say it out loud, she would not


    be able to hear him.


    Lu Xingzhiughed joyfully as he listened to Jiang Yao''s whisper, which was precisely what he had


    said. Then he blew on all the candles in one breath. "Around this time next year, my son will blow out


    these candles with me."
