The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Would You Like to Cut the Cake with Me?

Princess Ruoxin offered a half-hearted birthday wish, which Shen Lan accepted without any resentment, warmly inviting her and Li Zexing inside.

Their arrival clearly livened up the atmosphere inside.

No one had expected the Shen Family to be able to invite someone from the Royal Family.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen hurried over to greet them, exchanging carefully worded pleasantries. As for Shen Lan’s thank-you speech, it was naturally canceled.

However, Shen Lan’s talent showcase was still on.

"Shen Lan is more capable than I thought," Bai Wanwan said, looking at Shen Lan in a new light. "She actually managed to invite Li Zexing and Princess Ruoxin."

Shen Lu observed the pair who had become the center of attention from a distance. Li Zexing was the actor who played Dog Hero in the recent blockbuster movie. Perhaps to stay in character, he wore a silver Biting Inhibitor on his face.

Though it was called a Biting Inhibitor, it was more of a fashion accessory. It looked a bit unconventional, but he was handsome enough to pull it off. Not only did it not detract from his good looks, but it also added a unique, restrained appeal.

The young woman beside him was the Royal Family’s Fourth Princess, Princess Ruoxin, the Eldest Prince’s full sister.

The original owner of this body wasn’t familiar with either of them, but Shen Lu was different. She knew them.

However, her knowledge was based on the novel’s plot.

Li Zexing, like Xue Can, was male supporting character number three, while Princess Ruoxin was a female supporting character.

Recalling their respective plotlines, Shen Lu let out a soft sigh.

’These two don’t have good endings. Li Zexing loses his life to save the female lead. Because of that, Princess Ruoxin comes to hate her and wants her to pay with her life. There’s constant conflict between them, and it all ends with the Eldest Prince righteously bringing his own sister to justice.’

’Speaking of which, I’ve already met two male supporting characters and one female supporting character. So where is the female lead right now?’

Shen Lu calculated the timeline. ’Right, the main plot hasn’t officially started yet. This is all still the prologue. As a fellow transmigrator, the female lead should still be in her original world at this point.’

’It’s so much better to be the female lead.’

’The female lead’s spatial ability came with a ton of freebies as soon as it awakened. As long as she keeps increasing her reputation value, the space continuously upgrades. It doesn’t just store items; later on, it develops other functions too.’

[Host, our Super Delicious Popular Cooking System is great too! With later upgrades, we can also provide better services.]

Shen Lu replied, "Like what? Sending me back to my original world?"

[..., That is not within our range of capabilities.]

Shen Lu: "Then there’s nothing to talk about."

When the piece ended, Shen Lan took a bow, looking very pleased with herself. The guests below politely gave a round of applause.

Princess Ruoxin was even more relieved. ’That was elementary school-level piano playing. She’s no match for me at all.’

During the singing of the birthday song and the cutting of the cake, Shen Lan finally started to stir up trouble.

"As everyone knows, I was switched at birth with another girl. Thankfully, the truth later came to light, and I was able to return to the Shen Family."

"Although we’ve had some unpleasantness between us, I still want to receive everyone’s blessings together with her."

She located Shen Lu standing at the very edge of the crowd with pinpoint accuracy and extended a hand toward her.

"Shen Lu, today isn’t just my birthday; it’s your birthday too. Would you be willing to cut the cake with me?"

Everyone’s attention instantly focused on Shen Lu. Dressed in a little black dress, Shen Lu’s expression was placid, her glass-like eyes watching Shen Lan quietly, as if completely unmoved by her words.

This was exactly the effect Shen Lan wanted. Although Shen Lu’s outfit today had exceeded her expectations—she had thought she would dress in some unpresentable way, but she actually looked quite decent.

At this thought, Shen Lan couldn’t help but shoot a quick glare at Bai Wanwan.

’I have no idea what’s gotten into Bai Wanwan. I’d heard that she and Shen Lu couldn’t stand the sight of each other and were rivals.’
