Chapter 349 Competing for Favor

This birthday was truly...exceptionally "lively".

Bai Li discovered that their harmony was only superficial; in fact, the undercurrents had never ceased.

Take the seating arrangement at a meal, for example; it's a complicated process.

Jingye naturally sat down to Baili's right, which was his usual seat and he wouldn't give up.

The seat to Shirai's left is still empty...

Bai Li waved and, under the watchful eyes of the others, called out to Ying Xiangyang.

The reason is simple: she doesn't know what terrible, earth-shattering thing will happen if she doesn't call him.

Ying Xiangyang curled his lips into a smile, pulled out the seat to Bai Li's left, and sat down steadily.

He even glanced at Guan Cha, his eyes calm and expressionless, but the implication of "first come, first served" was self-evident.

Guan Cha's smile froze for a moment, but was immediately replaced by an even brighter smile. She turned and naturally walked towards Ying Xiangyang's seat.

Zhang Yu also quietly sat down in the seat to Jing Ye's left, he didn't care much about the seat.

Shi Shui sat down opposite Bai Li, her gaze lingering on Bai Li, seemingly unaware of the invisible undercurrent in the air.

If someone looked closely, they would notice that his gaze was lowered and landed on the necklace on Bai Li's chest.

My sister is still wearing the "Heart of the Soul" necklace that he gave her.

Realizing this, Shi Shui's eyes brightened even more.

And so, the seating arrangement was subtly determined:

Bai Li (main seat) — Jing Ye (right) — Zhang Yu — Shi Shui (opposite)

Bai Li (main seat) – Ying Xiangyang (left) – Guan Cha

Bai Li thought that the seating arrangement was the most delicate moment.

She was wrong.

The dinner party was just the beginning of the conflict.

Everyone wanted to serve her food and talk to her... It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. A hand offering a tissue appeared at the same time as food landed on her plate; she had just been amused by a funny story when someone immediately followed up with an even funnier one; when discussing return gift arrangements, the group subtly began to compete over the size of their gifts, their words filled with the implication of vying for her favor.

In other words, Bai Li, whose intelligence and social skills are at their peak, can handle such situations with ease, handling the situation with a smile, cleverly changing the subject, or simply using food to shut up someone who wants to offer "insights".

Others only need to balance two bowls of water, but she has to take care of five bowls of water at the same time...

—As expected, not just anyone can build a harem.

Although it was a happy experience, it was also exceptionally "hard-working" on another level.

If she encountered a situation where she couldn't please everyone, she could only eat diligently and silently to avoid certain topics.

—In the end, I managed to eat myself into a stupor.

She touched her round belly and secretly decided that she would never let them be in the same frame again.

While it feels good to be surrounded and cherished, one must also be vigilant against the possibility of escalating conflict.

Jingye was pushing the cart of cake over when she noticed Baili's movement: "Do you still have room for some cake?"

This is made with top-quality ingredients and meticulous research in the kitchen over several months; its taste is exceptional.

Bai Li sucked in her stomach, felt it for a moment, and realized she had a second stomach to hold dessert. She took the cake knife from Jing Ye's hand and said, "Come on, the kitchen staff have been preparing for so long, you should at least try it."

She hadn't forgotten her promise to Wuhai.

The first slice of cake that was cut off was sent by Bai Li to the neighbor's house.

The cake was too big. After they divided it among themselves, there was still more than half left. Bai Li asked A He to take the rest of the cake down and distribute it to the NPCs.

It doesn't matter that the cake is big, and there are many of them, so they won't waste food.

For the first time ever, I ate two pieces of the white pear. The reason was simple: it was so delicious!

The cream has only a subtle sweetness, the cake is fluffy with a hint of saltiness, and the rest is the original flavor of the ingredients themselves. The double collision of eggs and milk, the original flavor of fresh ingredients, beats all additives.

Bai Li immediately instructed the kitchen to make a few more tomorrow.

She planned to take one to see Jiang Mingfei, and the rest would be taken by Jingye to the company to be distributed among the various departments.
