Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Chapter 531 - 512: Birthday Banquet

Time flows like water.

In the blink of an eye, it was Sun Zhe’s birthday.

For Sun Zhe, who was celebrating his birthday for the first time, there was a bit of nervousness, but above all, warmth and emotion.

With his mother there, his friends, and so many close female companions accompanying him...

What more could one ask for?

For those who cared about him, his first birthday had to be grand.

So, Zhu Yan had informed everyone ahead of time and also had Ye Qiao and the other girls take the day off to decorate the house from morning till afternoon, finally transforming the living room.

...

As evening lights began to shine.

Everyone gathered in one place.

The large round dining table was moved to the center of the living room.

On the table sat a large cake, crafted personally by Xia Shiyue for her son.

No one had expected that the high and mighty "Qingcheng Immortal" possessed such a skill, and although the finished product wasn’t as polished as a professional’s, for Sun Zhe, it was undoubtedly the most perfect cake in the world.

"Sun Xiaozhe, come and blow out the candles!"

Ye Qiao lit the twenty-six candles one by one, representing Sun Zhe’s 26 years, then ran over to pull Sun Zhe to the table, standing on tiptoe to place a "crown" on his head.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Shiyan started playing the birthday song.

The atmosphere in the already lively villa was instantly ignited!

Surrounded by everyone’s attention, even though Sun Zhe had a rather thick skin, he still felt a bit embarrassed at this moment.

After blowing out the candles, he was reminded by the girls to make a wish.

But wishes can’t be spoken aloud; otherwise, they won’t come true. So no matter how much Ye Qiao and Li Shiyan pressured him, he didn’t reveal a single word.

Momentarily.

After everyone finished singing the birthday song, Xia Shiyue slowly approached and hugged Sun Zhe.

"Son, happy birthday. Mommy loves you."

"Congratulations on turning 26."

"From now on, I will be by your side for every birthday."

His mother’s simple and straightforward blessing, at this moment, surpassed everything in the world.

Sun Zhe’s eyes turned moist, he nodded and choked out with a smile, "Thank you, Mom."

Xia Shiyue released him, pinched his cheek with a hand, and then turned her wrist to hand him a car key.

"Here’s your birthday gift."

Sun Zhe reached out to take the key and lightly knitted his brows.

The logo on the key seemed familiar, but he couldn’t recall it at the moment.

The logo looked somewhat like an uppercase "A," but the middle bar was curved and extended on both sides.

While Sun Zhe was lost in thought, Li Shiyan suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my, an Apollo EVO, limited to ten worldwide!"

"Oh my, that’s amazing!"

She suddenly went over and clung to Xia Shiyue’s arm, looking pitiful as she asked, "Aunt Xia, do you need a daughter? I want to be your daughter, I want an EVO too!"

Everyone burst into laughter at her antics.

Soon, Ye Qiao and Lin Yingchun also went up to pester Xia Shiyue, all clamoring to be her daughter.

Looking at these beautiful future daughters-in-law, Xia Shiyue beamed and made a grand promise, "Next time it’s your birthdays, tell Auntie what gifts you want."

"Okay—!"

The girls responded in unison, like a chorus of kittens.

"..."

Amid the laughter, Xia Shiyue took out another gift for Sun Zhe.

Being the Palace Master of Qingcheng, if the only birthday gift she gave her son was a sports car, it would seem a bit uncultured.

This supercar, which ordinary people wouldn’t dare to dream of, was merely an appetizer.

Xia Shiyue handed a square wooden box to Sun Zhe, saying, "Inside are a few magical treasures left by the ancestors of Qingcheng Palace. Each one is priceless; take your time to study them."

"Mm, thank you, Mom."

Sun Zhe naturally didn’t hold back with his mom and happily accepted the gift.

After Xia Shiyue, Zhu Yan, Lin Shuqing, Su Qingli and Su Nanzhi sisters, and Lin Miao, Jiang Yushu, Gu Lingxue, Li Zhishan, Bai Ran also presented well-prepared birthday gifts to Sun Zhe.

However, Ye Qiao, Lin Yingchun, and Li Shiyan didn’t give gifts but seemed to be scheming something secretive.

"Looks like I arrived just in time!"

Just as Ye Qiao was telling Sun Zhe to cut the cake, a cheerful male voice suddenly came from the living room entrance.

Everyone looked toward the voice and saw that it was Zhou Yao!

Behind Zhou Yao was a graceful figure—Fang Jiayun.

Upon seeing Fang Jiayun, Ye Qiao’s anger surged but remembering it was Sun Zhe’s birthday, she restrained herself.

She had also just learned that Sun Zhe’s father and Fang Jiayun’s father were sworn brothers, so Fang Jiayun was considered Sun Zhe’s sister.

"Uncle Zhou, you’re here."

Sun Zhe smiled and went to greet him.

Zhou Yao, dressed in a suit, looked energetic. His hairstyle, mimicking the Gambling God’s, was sleek and shiny, a stark contrast to his previous sickly state.

The previous events seemed to have not affected him.

...

"Ah Zhe, happy birthday."

"Your second uncle came in a hurry and didn’t prepare any gifts, so take this equity transfer agreement as your birthday gift."

Sun Zhe glanced at it briefly, surprised to find it was shares of the Fang Group!

"Uncle Zhou, I can’t accept this..."

"Take it!"

Zhou Yao pressed down on his hand, interrupting him with a smile, "Weren’t you going to cut the cake? Hurry up, your second uncle hasn’t had dinner yet."

"..."

Sun Zhe could tell Zhou Yao had something on his mind, but this wasn’t the place to discuss it, so he moved toward the table to cut the cake.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished cutting the cake, his vision went dark, and he couldn’t see; Ye Qiao had smeared a handful of cream on his face.

"Ahhhh!"

"Ye Qiao, I’ll get you!"

Sun Zhe playfully roared in fake anger.

Ye Qiao’s face changed playfully, and she ran away.

Unexpectedly, in the next instant, Xia Shiyue slipped past and smeared another bunch of cream on Sun Zhe’s face, even rubbing it in excessively, plastering the cream onto Sun Zhe’s face like spreading putty, even more mischievous than Ye Qiao.

The usually aloof and noble Palace Master Xia only showed this side of herself in front of her son.

Unfortunately, except for the relatives present, outsiders would never witness such a Palace Master Xia.

"Mom, why even you..."

Sun Zhe was utterly frustrated.

Xia Shiyue, having achieved her goal, suddenly raised her arm and called out, "Girls, charge!"

Hearing this, Gu Lingxue led the charge, tackling Sun Zhe in an embrace.

Therefore, under Xia Shiyue’s lead, all the girls swarmed together, cooperatively smearing Sun Zhe from head to toe.

But Sun Zhe also refused to back down and immediately launched a counterattack.

A cream battle thus commenced.

...

This playful chaos lasted until past one in the morning.

During it all, they sang, danced, drank, and barbequed, even Lin Shuqing, a teacher, sang and danced, adding to the liveliness.

...

All good things must come to an end.

After the birthday party ended, Xia Shiyue found Sun Zhe to say goodbye, and then left with Gu Lingxue.

Subsequently, Su Nanzhi, Jiang Yushu, Bai Ran, and the other girls left one after another.

Ye Qiao and a few others clamored to examine Sun Zhe’s supercar in the garage.

Sun Zhe, grumbling, cleaned the cream from his body while walking to the ginkgo tree in the yard.

"Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Yao said, "Ah Zhe, can you do me a favor?"

"Go ahead."

Zhou Yao said, "From now on, I entrust Jiayun’s care to you."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe frowned slightly, "What about you?"

Zhou Yao said, "I need to go away for a while, not sure when I’ll return."

"..."
