CHAPTER 218 (1/2)

Collapsing 11 Boundaries 6

At noon, Jiang Xie went out early. Jiang Hong was in a particularly good mood and her face was full of blood as she said, “Don’t play too late. There is a party at night.” She thought Jiang Xie was going to meet friends of the same age and didn’t think too much.

In the evening, many celebrities would be invited and it wasn’t a private birthday party for Jiang Xie. It was more like the Jiang family’s announcement to the outside world that there was a new successor.

Therefore, Jiang Hong would’ve forced him to stay home at night. She just ordered him not to drink lest he be affected at night.

Jiang Xie hadn’t left but his heart had already flown first. He said, “I won’t drink.” However, he wouldn’t come back too early.

Jiang Hong smiled. “Go ahead.”

Today wasn’t only Jiang Xie’s birthday. It was also the final day for the Lance project.

The bidding materials had been handed in. If there were no accidents, the Jiang family had a high chance of winning the bid.

As long as it was accepted, all his efforts wouldn’t be in vain. The project would allow the Jiang family to rise to the next level and Jiang Hong could safely recuperate her body.

Jiang Xie wasn’t very worried. He had been concentrating on this matter for the past six months and knew more about it than Jiang Hong.

There were no problems. His sister’s wish could be reached. Then he would take her job and let her rest.

He was flushed with success. Jiang Xie’s work was progressing smoothly, his older sister was looking better and at noon, he would celebrate his birthday with the person he liked. He walked in a relaxed and happy manner, full of expectations.

The place to eat was set by Xie Xi. Jiang Xie walked out of the elevator and sat the man sitting by the window in the elegant Western restaurant.

The restaurant was booked and there was no one else. However, even if it was full of people, Jiang Xie would see this person at first glance.

Xie Xi was born with a spotlight that shone in front of Jiang Xie, dominating all his attention.

Xie Xi got up after becoming aware of Jiang Xie’s presence and smiled. “Happy birthday.”

Jiang Xie also smiled, an undisguised strong love on his young and handsome face. “Thank you.”

Xie Xi spoke softly. “Why are you being so polite?”

The soft and intimate tone sweetened Jiang Xie’s heart. He sat down and Xie Xi took out a box. “I know you aren’t lacking anything but I still wanted to give you a gift.”

Jiang Xie opened it and saw the watch lying inside. It was a Vacheron Constantin Metiers d’Art series and cost more than two million yuan.

This sounded exaggerated but in fact, Jiang Xie had collected more expensive gifts. He just liked this watch because Xie Xi sent it to him.

Jiang Xie carefully put away the box. “I like it.”

Xie Xi told him, “It’s good that you like it. I don’t understand your people’s taste.”

Jiang Xie frowned lightly. “You are only in your 20s.”

Xie Xi laughed. “Then are you only in your teens?”

Jiang Xie paused before saying, “Don’t care about age. You are currently in your best time.”

Xie Xi sighed. “What is so good about it? I will be in the afterlife while you are photographed on the beach.”

Even so, the corners of his mouth were raised and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Jiang Xie didn’t dwell on this topic. If he could, he would’ve liked to be born 11 years early so he didn’t miss a single moment of this person’s life.

The meal arrived and the two people chatted well.

Over the past year, they had become very familiar with each other. Jiang Xie liked this person and cared about what this person liked and didn’t like, his little habits and even his small quirks. Jiang Xie remembered it all clearly.

Xie Xi was the same. He ordered dishes that Jiang Xie loved to eat.

Dessert ended and Xie Xi said, “I know you don’t like cake but it is better to have a cake for your birthday.”

The waiter brought out a fancy cake with 18 candles on it.

Xie Xi said, “I will sing you a birthday song. Make a wish.”

Jiang Xie was stunned. “You will sing for me?”

“I can’t sing anything else but this should be no problem.”

That wasn’t the question. It was just that Xie Xi had such an identity and temperament, yet he would unexpectedly sing Jiang Xie a birthday song…

Xie Xi sang the song. His voice was warm and it was a simple song, but it was a hundred times sweeter than the cake in front of them.

Jiang Xie closed his eyes and made a wish. He wished for his sister to recover and to be with Xie Xi.

Perhaps he was too greedy. Could these little candles really carry his heavy wish? Even so, he sincerely hoped that the two people he deeply loved would be safe and peaceful.

Jiang Xie really didn’t like cakes but he ate a while piece. After he ate it, he lowered his head and asked, “Why are you so good to me?”

This tone was calm and his expression normal. It was as if the two people were just chatting and there was nothing special about the question. Even so, the contents were highly suggestive.

Xie Xi held the fork in his hand and whispered, “Why do you think?”

Jiang Xie’s heart thumped.

Xie Xi looked up and smiled. “There might be an age difference but you are the person I have hit it off with the most in my life.”

Jiang Xie’s heart beat faster and he couldn’t even refute the age difference.

“Well…” Xie Xi got up. “It isn’t too early and you have to go back and prepare for the party tonight.”

Jiang Xie stood up and called out to him. “Xie Xi.”

Xie Xi turned around. “Hmm?”

“I…” The words that Jiang Xie were about to speak were stuck in his mouth.
