Chapter 328 - Drugged Birthday Cake (1/2)

After the feast, Yun Xi got into Chen Yichen’s car for the ride home. She hesitated for a long time before telling him that the two fish he had given her had died.

The two fish he had sent, one red and one blue, were very beautiful. They had danced, preening like peac.o.c.ks in the tank.

But who could have ever imagined that they would be poisoned to death by Yun Ziling after Yun Xi had left them for a minute, going upstairs to put away her school bag.

“Don’t be sad, there will always be evil people.”

Chen Yichen gave her a sort of world-weary smile and parked by the gate of her compound. He then turned sideways, grabbed a gift bag from the back seat, and handed it to her.

“Birthday present for little Yun Xi, happy birthday!”

“I even have a gift!” Yun Xi glanced at the logo on the bag and sucked in her breath.

The bag came from a French luxury brand. Inside was a cashmere jacket that must have cost at least 10,000 yuan.

The Eldest Heir had been really extravagant!

“Of course! There must be gifts for birthdays.”

Pus.h.i.+ng the gift bag back toward him, she said, “This gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it…”

She would accept small gifts with a smile, but she didn’t dare accept such an expensive gift.

“I bought it just for you. How can I take it back or give it to my mother? If my mother finds out that the birthday present I bought for you wasn’t accepted, she will beat me up.”

Yun Xi couldn’t help but smile at him. “Your mother only has one precious son, and she would never beat you.”

“She doesn’t want a useless son who can’t even give a gift.”

Chen Yichen stuffed the gift bag back into her arms with an insistent expression. “Just take it. I don’t accept returns. If you won’t accept it, I will get angry.”

“Okay, okay! I’ll take it! And thank you.”

“All right, that’s good.” Chen Yichen rubbed her head with satisfaction. “This afternoon, I sent a cake to your house.”

“What? You know I don’t eat that sort of stuff, so why give it…”

“Girls in Jingdu like to eat cakes on their birthdays. If you don’t want to eat it, just treat it as an act of celebration.”

“Okay! But even though you sent the cake to me, by the time I get home, someone else will probably have already devoured it…”
