1078 I Hope You Like It! (1/2)

Yun Shoushan had never spoken to Gu Qingcheng about this child's birthday, and Gu Qingcheng had never instructed the housekeeper to make arrangements beforehand.

He had unintentionally celebrated her birthday?

”Happy birthday!” Gu Qingcheng said.

Yun Liuli nodded, standing outside and tightly holding the cake. She summoned the courage and asked, ”You… do you want to eat with me?”

Gu Qingcheng actually wasn't that fond of sweets.

But seeing the look of anticipation in the girl's bright eyes, Gu Qingcheng didn't wish to reject the child on her birthday, so he put out the barely-smoked cigarette in his hand and nodded. ”Come in.”

Yun Liuli came in with the cake, then knelt before the sofa and placed the cake on the coffee table.

Gu Qingcheng opened the window to let the cigarette smell disperse, then went back to sit down.

His legs were very long, so sitting there… his long legs occupied the space between the sofa and the coffee table.

Yun Liuli could tell that Gu Qingcheng was very busy. She had already made a wish and blew out the candles last night, so she quickly placed the tray properly and cut a slice of cake to hand to Gu Qingcheng.

”Thank you…”

Hearing Gu Qingcheng's voice, a smile appeared on Yun Liuli's face, which was a rare sight. She cut herself a slice too, then got up and sat on the single-seater sofa, taking small bites of it.

The bedroom door wasn't closed, being left open just like that. Gu Qingcheng and Yun Liuli sat there eating the cake and had nothing to say to each other.

Firstly, Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng weren't particularly chatty people.

Secondly, they hadn't known each other for long, so there wasn't much to talk about.

Thirdly, there was a big difference in their ages. Yun Liuli's father was Gu Qingcheng's friend, so Gu Qingcheng subconsciously regarded Yun Liuli as a junior, as a child.

The young lady had gotten cream on her nose and was still unaware. Gu Qingcheng drew a tissue and wiped his mouth, then placed the cake tray on his knees and asked, ”What present do you want?”

Yun Liuli bit her cake fork and raised her head to gaze at Gu Qingcheng, her bright eyes so clean it made one's heart break. She asked, ”Isn't the cake the birthday present?”

”What else do you want? I can satisfy you!” Gu Qingcheng placed his slice of cake on the coffee table, then slowly wiped off the cream that had gotten onto his hand.

Yun Liuli shook her head. ”I'm already very satisfied to have received a cake!”

The young lady obediently sat there and ate her cake. After finishing one slice, she picked up another slice, seeming as if she was planning to finish the entire cake before leaving.

Gu Qingcheng's phone vibrated. He picked it up, then locked his phone screen and set it down beside him. He picked up his slice of cake again and ate with the young lady.

It was a one-pound cake. Gu Qingcheng ate one slice, whilst the young lady ate three. After finishing the cake, the young lady cleared away the tray and cutlery before getting up to thank Gu Qingcheng once again and leaving.

After eating such a big slice of cake, Gu Qingcheng didn't feel it was sickening. He asked the servants to brew him a cup of Pu'er tea and to send the young lady a cup of red tea. He then started to work.

After finishing her cake, Yun Liuli returned to her room and opened her diary. She held the doll with one hand and held a pen with the other as she wrote in her diary, feeling very happy.

Only the words ”very happy” could describe Yun Liuli's feelings.

She recalled the scene when she met Gu Qingcheng for the first time. It was raining heavily, and he was standing under the black umbrella. Separated by a thin layer of white smoke, his strong and sharp facial features looked very masculine, and his deep and unfathomable eyes were filled with the fatal attraction of a male!
