Chapter 1834: Chapter 622: Anne, Come Here_2

On the huge LED screen on the main stage, pre-recorded VCRs of blessings and banter from family and friends began to play.

The video finished playing.

The elegantly dressed female host walked onto the stage with a smile.

"Dear guests, good evening. Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend the birthday party of our beautiful little princess, Miss Tian Jing."

"Next, let’s give a warm round of applause to welcome our brightest star of the evening, Miss Tian Jing, to come on stage and share her thoughts on turning 23!"

Amidst the tidal wave of applause.

Jing lifted the hem of her gown and elegantly walked onto the main stage.

"Truly, truly thank you all for managing to spare your precious time..."

Jing, with a smile, delivered a speech of gratitude and her feelings about the birthday party.

Her face was filled with a sweet and happy smile.

The speech ended.

The lights changed again.

The host stepped forward once more, speaking in a tone of slight mystery and ceremony:

"Thank you very much to Miss Tian Jing for sharing so wonderfully. Next, we will move on to the most sacred and pure part of the evening—making birthday wishes and giving blessings. Here, we have a small, special request: to allow us all to temporarily put aside outside distractions and wholeheartedly send our sincerest blessings to Jingjing, we hope everyone can temporarily hand over their phones, cameras, and other electronic devices for safekeeping."

"Let’s truly live in the moment together and witness this beautiful moment, shall we?"

Upon hearing this, Jing was slightly stunned.

Clearly, this was not within her designed plan.

In her original script, she intended to use this segment to thank her close friend Shangguan Qiuya and officially reveal the identity of this "big person."

Although this segment is missing now, the next would be to invite Tang Song and Shangguan Qiuya onto the stage.

To cut the cake and make wishes together with herself.

But now... the script was clearly completely messed up.

Immediately after, she saw her parents’ eyes filled with smiling expression.

Nani?! (ÒωÓױ)!

Jing instantly understood.

I must say, Tian and Ms. Chen, you two really know how to stir things up!

Soon, several waiters wearing silver masks and well-trained, quietly moved among the guests, carrying trays lined with velvet cushions.

Although the crowd was a bit surprised, under the influence of this atmosphere, they cooperatively handed over their phones and cameras.

"Da—da—da—"

All the main lights in the banquet hall went out simultaneously.

The scene fell into a romantic darkness, with only the starlit ambient lights in the corners.

Excited cheers erupted from the crowd.

In the melodious piano version of "Happy Birthday," a giant five-tier birthday cake adorned with white roses and crystal sugar frosting was slowly pushed up by the attendants.

The crowd instinctively gathered towards the warm light source.

Some of Jing’s friends began clapping their hands and singing the happy birthday song.

On the main stage, a white curtain silently descended from the ceiling.

Through the corridor behind the stage, a few staff members carrying various equipment quickly went on stage and began efficiently and precisely conducting equipment tests.

In a moment unnoticed by anyone.

Five figures who had been mingling with the servers, wearing silver masks, silently slipped behind the curtain under the cover of darkness.

They started to "change costumes."

Meanwhile.

The side door leading from the Star Language Hall to the main banquet hall was gently opened.

A group of four, two men and two women, wearing exquisite half-face masks, quietly entered the dim crowd due to the wishing ceremony.

Their gaze almost simultaneously pierced through the flickering candlelight and swaying figures, landing on Tang Song standing beside Tian Jing.

Soon after, Tang Song seemed to unintentionally look over this way.

Precisely catching their gaze one by one.

In an instant, different ripples arose in the hearts of the four people.

Wu Kezhi’s expression tightened, subconsciously standing straight and nodding solemnly.

Zheng Qiudong adjusted the mask on his face, revealing a bright smile.

Mo Xiangwan’s eyes flickered; as a woman, especially one who has interacted more with Tang Song.

She could clearly feel Tang Song’s difference at this moment, seeming to understand why Anne Kate had changed her mind at the last minute.

In fact, she came with a special purpose this time too.

Apart from the Echo flash mob, she also intended to officially introduce Su Yu to Tian Jing and have a chat.

She defined Anne Kate as the "antagonist" to prepare for Su Yu and Tian Jing’s "alliance" later, as Anne was undoubtedly Chairman Jin’s person.

Just when they were each awash with their thoughts, the birthday wishing and candle-blowing segment was nearing its end at the scene.

"Happy birthday to you..."

Amidst the warm singing from the crowd, Jing clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, made a long wish, then took a deep breath and blew out the candles.

The whole room erupted in enthusiastic applause, cheers, and words of blessing.

Right at that moment, Jing suddenly boldly kissed Tang Song on the lips in front of everyone.

Tang Song seemed to have sensed this beforehand and wasn’t surprised, only responding gently.

In the crowd, Anne’s eyes sparkled with a dangerous light.

Despite having been warned, her heart remained extremely unbalanced.

In fact, she had repeatedly sent invitations wanting Tang Song to attend her birthday party, yet there was never a response.

In her view, she outclassed this Oriental girl in every way.
