Chapter 129 - 129 – How Can It Suddenly Become So Cute? 1
Ye Xingguang wandered around the duty-free shop, unsure of what gift to buy. As a safe choice, she bought a watch.
After purchasing it, her shopping impulse kicked in, and she continued to shop. She bought a piece of clothing and some skincare products for her mom. For her dad, she bought a belt and several coats. For her neighbor, Mrs. Shen, she bought an eye cream. And for Uncle Li, Grandpa Zhuo, Aunt Ye from the island…
While others have numerous aunts and uncles, she might not have as many relatives, but she did have lots of neighbors – all the islanders were like one big family. She bought gifts for them all, believing she should reciprocate the elders with presents from her first month’s salary.
Even though she hadn’t received her paycheck yet, she could definitely splurge a bit in advance.
By the time she finished shopping, night had fallen. Ye Xingguang had dinner outside and then returned to her hotel villa carrying bags of various sizes.
Upon entering, she noticed that Night Junqing had already taken a shower and was sitting in the living room in a white pajama set, leisurely reading a book.
He looked up at the sound of her, his deep, peach blossom eyes filled with delight. Did his little mermaid buy so much stuff?
“What is all this?” Night Junqing feigned ignorance, his tone intentionally aloof.
“Gifts.’
Ye Xingguang came in carrying the bags.
“All of them?” Night Junqing asked, putting the book aside, his voice revealing an unanticipated joy.
“Yes.” After which, Ye Xingguang added, “Don’t get your hopes up. Theyre not for you!’
Having said that, she took all the bags to her room, collapsed onto the bed without even taking off her shoes; shopping was so tiring.
After she had gone to her room, Night Junqing laughed again. Silly girl. Was I born yesterday?
Why has she suddenly become so adorable?
He once asked her seriously to remember his birthday, hoping she would prepare a birthday gift for him, but she always ignored it.
Not only that, but she would even burn paper money for him on his birthday, as if wanting to curse him to die earlier. It was maddening!
Was this girl planning to make up for all the missed gifts all at once by bringing back so many presents now?
Night Junqing was utterly taken aback for an entire week, his brain simply failing to cool down.
The first thing he did every morning was to check his phone’s calendar. Wasn’t his birthday coming up yet?
The day before his birthday, he suddenly decided to celebrate it big. He asked Fu Zhuo to pick a venue urgently and sent out invitations to all his friends to attend his 27th birthday party. At this party, he was going to introduce his little mermaid formally to everyone!
If the little mermaid wanted to give him a surprise, then, he wouldn’t mind giving her an even bigger one.
These days, he had been continuously contemplating. Perhaps, destiny wanted to give them another chance after assigning her to him by chance!
He should cherish this opportunity and seize it rather than pushing away this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Lin Hanfeng called him, “Mr. Qing, I have some work to do tomorrow. Is it okay if the gift arrives but 1 don’t? It’s really not intentional. You gave us such a late notice. I am currently out of town and I have a large project signing tomorrow that I must attend. I don’t have the time to fly back…”
“Everyone else can be absent, but not you. If you don’t show up, we will not discuss any future collaborations with you.” Night Junqings words shut Lin Hanfeng up.
Lin Hanfeng was shocked, “Why? When did my presence become so important to you?”
