Chapter 75 - Unsprouted Love (2/2)
”So you must know that I care about my friends.” Jiang Hua shrugged his shoulders. ”Unless... you don't regard me as a friend.”
A Miao rolled her eyes, and then said with a serious face, ”Well, you know, it's a big family feud!”
”Haha!” Jiang Hua was amused by her. ”Have you ever thought about leaving such a rich family?”
Seeing A Miao stare blankly at him, Jiang Hua also put on a serious face. ”I'm serious. If it doesn't suit you, why don't you leave?”
”Stop joking,” said Miao with a fake smile. ”I'm somebody else's fiancee!”
Jiang Hua stared at her and gave her a half-smile. ”Do you want more meat? I'll go and get another one.”
”Yes!” A Miao nodded vigorously. When Jiang Hua stood up, she suddenly whispered some words.
”Thank you.”
Jiang Hua lifted the corners of his mouth and stepped forward. ”Why are you so polite to me? Aren't we friends?”
Soon after, A Miao found out one thing that Ji Xue was hiding from her. Although the two were not in the same department, they met occasionally a few times and Ji Xue avoided her from afar.
”Because Mr. Ji asked her to apologize to you.” When Shen II came to pick her up on Friday, he said, ”But Boss said that she would definitely not go.”
A Miao nodded. ”She'd better not come.”
”Anyway... the Boss will not let anyone off who bullies you.” Shen II stressed again and again.
Seeing that he was not uncomfortable, A Miao asked curiously, ”Do you have something to say? Your facial expression is like Shen I's.”
”It was he who insisted on me saying it.” Shen II said with a serious face, ”He is afraid that the young lady will forget the Boss's birthday.”
A Miao gave him a thumbs up. ”What a good Chinese bodyguard!”
Of course, she had not forgotten, the gifts were all ready. A Miao pinched her schoolbag and smiled. ”Tomorrow is his birthday. How about I cook a meal?”
”What does miss mean?”
”It means you have to find a way to keep your Boss at home!”
A Miao indeed had thought about whether Shen Xinglan was interested in her. But that night, what he very clearly said killed the little seedlings in her heart before it's sprouted.
But later on, she thought that she must have had her brain removed. She and Shen Xinglan were from two completely different worlds. What she needed to do now was to finish college well. If she performed better during ordinary times, maybe Shen Xinglan would let her study abroad.
This was the real reason she wanted to celebrate Shen Xinglan's birthday.
”Boss, are you going out?” When Shen Xinglan came downstairs early in the morning, Shen II came over to meet him.
Shen Xinglan narrowed and squinted his eyes. ”Speak up if you have something to say.”
”There's no car.”
Shen Xinglan had no response.
”It's just that, Boss, the cars have been sent to be overhauled.” Shen II's eyes drifted away and he felt that Shen I's idea was not good at all.
Sure enough, Shen Xinglan looked at him with a sneer. ”All five cars of the family have been sent to be repaired?”
”Yes.” Shen II looked in the eyes of Shen III, who had been standing in the background, and wanted him to come over and confirm it.
But Shen III was as blind as...
”I know.” Shen Xinglan lightly threw out a sentence.
”Did I succeed?” Shen II was about to relax when he heard...
”Then go to the foot of the mountain, take a taxi to the company, and drive a car back to pick me up.”
Shen II looked at his Boss in shock.
”Don't tell me the company has sent more than a dozen cars to be overhauled.” Shen Xinglan looked at him with pressing eyes.
”I'll go!” Shen III finally regained his eyesight and took the initiative to step forward.
Shen Xinglan glanced at them and entered the dining room.
Then, Shen III did not come back until the sun went down.
”Boss... his phone can't be reached.” Shen II already did not know how many times he reported that Shen III's phone had been turned off.
Shen III did not come back, but the fresh ingredients from the Internet that A Miao ordered had arrived.
”I'm cooking tonight. I hope you indulge in eating it.” She carried the ingredients into the kitchen.
Shen Xinglan scowled and said nothing. After a long time, A Miao appeared at the door. ”Dinner is ready!”
”Why do you want to cook yourself?” Shen Xinglan stopped just as he finished speaking.
The dining room was obviously decorated. In addition to flowers, there was a cake in the middle of the table.
”I baked a cake for the first time, and I don't know if it is delicious.” A Miao pulled out a chair. ”Please!”
Shen Xinglan pursed his lips and walked over. ”It seems that you have bribed all my bodyguards.”
”I just want to celebrate your birthday.” A Miao put a big bowl in front of him. ”Don't bite it off and eat it all at once.”
The thick bone soup had a tangy aroma. The bowl was filled with white soup and thin ramen noodles with several pieces of red beef in it.
”Eat!” A Miao handed him chopsticks.
Shen Xinglan picked it up and found that the surface was unbroken. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and sucked with his lips while glancing at the girl around him from time to time.
A Miao stared at Shen Xinglan nervously in fear that he would bite the noodle off until the end of the noodle went into his mouth.
”Great! Next year, everything will surely go well for you as you wish along with your journey. ”
She focused on clapping hands, and accidentally tripped over the stool leg. Shen Xinglan saw that her body was tilted, and his hand stretched out faster than her brain worked.
And then...
A Miao sat in his embrace.
