Becoming the Richest by Farming
Chapter 387 - 0387 Wasteful_1

Originally the plan was to eat the cake in the evening, but since there’s no time now.

Naturally, the cake had to be dealt with at lunchtime.

After lunch, several people followed suit to clear the table, letting Ruffy Smith open the cake packaging, insert the candles, and make a wish.

Ruffy Smith had a cake on his birthday too, but it was just for show, though he was well-versed in the process of making a wish.

He closed his eyes, made a wish, and upon opening them, saw the candles blown out.

Zoe Lewis couldn’t contain her curiosity, "Brother Ruffy, what wish did you make?"

Ruffy Smith gave a smile that wasn’t quite a smile as he looked at her, "If I tell you, wouldn’t it lose its magic?"

What wish did he make?

As he said this, he glanced at Ellen Young and licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue.

Of course, his wish was for Ellen Young to be with him for a lifetime.

Such a simple and unpretentious wish, he believed that heaven would fulfill it for him.

His gaze met Ellen Young’s midway through the air, a faint question flashing in her tranquil eyes, possibly guessing what Ruffy Smith might have wished for, yet she remained somewhat silent.

Clinton White interrupted their line of sight, urgently saying, "Let’s finish the process quickly, we have a meeting in the afternoon. Zoe and I are about to leave, and Ruffy, don’t you have things to deal with this afternoon? I can give you a lift."

Ruffy Smith let out a cold chuckle, "I have my own car to drive."

Clinton White’s intentions were not lost on him; he simply wanted to minimize the time Ellen Young and he spent together.

Too bad it wasn’t realistic.

While cutting the cake, he still looked towards Ellen Young, his voice hoarse and sensually excessive, "Teacher, don’t you want to know what I wished for?"

Zoe Lewis: "..."

Oh man, Brother Ruffy’s voice is unfair.

Ellen Young: "I don’t want to know."

Clinton White: "Hahahahahahaha."

Ruffy Smith: "..."

He chuckled softly, cutting the first piece of cake for Ellen Young.

Ellen Young reached out to take it but only had a few bites.

Lunch was already almost finished, and cake was a kind of dessert after all, so naturally, not much could be eaten.

Clinton White and the others had a few bites, accompanying Ruffy Smith through the birthday ritual. When it was time to leave, Zoe Lewis hesitated, mumbling, "You may be busy, but I’m not. I want to stay here and play with Ellen Young."

Although he knew that Ellen Young, the smart one, wouldn’t care about Zoe Lewis, the situation could get complicated if Zoe genuinely changed her heart—what if she really did?

Even though the person was his boss.

Clinton White still had a strong sense of crisis; he didn’t want his own relationship to change color, so he firmly pulled Zoe Lewis to leave with him, his reason quite legitimate, "What are you doing hanging around here? Didn’t you hear? The BOSS is going to be working on AI stuff these days. You don’t understand any of it, so better not add to the confusion here."

Zoe Lewis wasn’t too happy about it, but considering she really didn’t understand, she had no choice but to leave with Clinton White.

After they all left, the place that had been bustling was suddenly much quieter.

The table was still a bit messy, the cake had been eaten but not cleaned up, with more than half left over.

In their minds, there didn’t seem to be any concern about waste, but Ruffy Smith looked at the table thoughtfully, "Should I take it out and throw it away?"

Ellen Young said, "Leave it, I can have it as a dessert in the afternoon."

She herself usually ate a lot, but normally she had special sugar pills to handle it, and without the sugar pills, she could eat normal food.

The cake wasn’t very big, and she could eat it without any fear of gaining weight.

To just throw it away would indeed be too wasteful.
