Chapter 56 Celebrating Mei Lis birthday (2/2)
”Well… she did not know she's the reason, actually. Come here, Ryn,” Jack laughed seeing Ryn still frozen there.
Mei Li urged Ryn to walk to the stage, with the girls screaming. With a sigh, Ryn walked toward the stage.
”Hello, everyone. I am Ryn,” she introduced herself in front of the girls. Some of the girls were taken back seeing how tall she was. Ryn handed the microphone back to Jack and leaned closer to his head, ”What the heck?”
”Surprised?” Jack whispered back amid the scream from the audience. He took the microphone and faced them. ”This girl here is my schoolmate. Despite her cold look, she is quite friendly and… erm…” Jack pretended to ponder, which made Ryn's face darkened.
”Just a joke. Actually, the reason why I called her here is to sing along with me. Everyone, tonight is a special night for one of you. Jackie, please bring it out.”
Jack leaned closer to whisper to Ryn and her eyes widened in shock. She looked at him and he nodded. A smile finally curled on her lips as she looked at Mei Li.
A woman came out holding a big cake.
”Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Mei Li. Happy birthday to you~”
”OHMYGOD!!!” Mei Li who was standing near the stage shrieked, covering her mouth in shock when the woman approached her with the cake.
”Ryn, please take that box over there. My hands are full,” Jack showed the microphone he was holding.
Ryn, too lazy to point out the obvious, took the wrapped box and followed Jack, who actually took a bouquet of flowers, toward Mei Li.
Mei Li could not control her emotion. She did not know whether to cry or shriek or scream and pass out. Her eyes widened at the sight of her idol coming closer and closer. OHMYGOD!!!
”Happy birthday, Mei Li. This is from me,” Jack leaned down to kiss Mei Li's cheek. He handed the flowers and the present.
Mei Li's cheeks burned brightly. She ran her eyes from looking at Jack and looked at Ryn instead. How could she respond to this?
”Make a wish and blow the candles,” Ryn told her.
Mei Li glanced at Jack and closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she blew the candles.
Some of the girls who were still unhappy with the special treatment Mei Li received had to clap their hands reluctantly. Why was this woman receiving so much from their husband?
Ryn hugged Mei Li, exchanging kisses on the cheeks and whispered ”Happy birthday, Mei Li”.
”So, tonight's show is actually especially for Mei Li who is celebrating her birthday today. Everyone, please give a loud cheer for our Mei Li,” Jack cried in the microphone and all her fans obeyed him.
”I'm so happy today, Ryn. I can't explain it in words but thank you so much,” Mei Li cried once they were on their way home.
”Hmm…” Ryn forced herself to open her bleary eyes. She was so exhausted. What a day today.
”Hey, isn't that Jeremy?”
Ryn finally managed to open her eyes and looked out at Jeremy who was waiting at the gate of her house. She sighed heavily. It seemed like her day for today was not over yet.
