Chapter 362: The Best Gift
Chapter 362: The Best Gift
Everyone felt a bit on edge when they heard this voice.Lu Hao nudged Lan Xi beside him. Hasn’t she learned her lesson yet?
Wasn’t the last time Old Jiang punished her enough?
This time, her attending the party wasn’t because Old Jiang had let go of past grudges, but because she had been told to formally apologize to Mu Yan.
Lan Xi, that girl, values her pride, and Old Jiang just wanted to trample all over it.
However, this time Lan Xi really felt wronged, as it was Ning Ze who told her that Mu Yan had prepared a special gift for Jiang Jingheng and urged her to use the opportunity to win them over.
Although Lan Xi didn’t want to win them over, the elders in her family knew about her rocky relationship with Jiang Jingheng and were scolding her, so she had no choice but to resort to this plan.
Of course, she also had a desire to watch the drama unfold.
After all, she didn’t think Mu Yan would have any impressive gift to offer.
Mu Yan’s expression was a bit stiff. Not to mention she didn’t bring the gift, even if she had, it didn’t seem like much.
The atmosphere suddenly got awkward. Ning Ze realized this and quickly tried to smooth it over, saying, "The gift sister-in-law gave Brother Jiang surely won’t be something we can know about."
"Actually, it’s okay if you know," Jiang Jingheng suddenly said.
Everyone instantly got interested and asked in unison, "What is the gift?"
Mu Yan also looked at him, surprised. He hadn’t even gone upstairs, so he definitely didn’t know about the gift she prepared for him. Then what was the gift he was talking about?
Jiang Jingheng looked at her, his eyes twinkling with a hint of laughter, "The best gift you can give me is yourself."
"Wow, what a stimulating answer!" Ning Ze immediately teased, his voice exaggerated.
At this moment, Dong Le also joined in, helping to calm things down with Brother Jiang and sister-in-law, which meant they could let Lan Xi’s blunder slide.
Admittedly, Brother Jiang was a bit of a hopeless romantic today, and they were feeling all sorts of goosebumps.
Mu Yan was used to Jiang Jingheng’s sweet talk, but it was the first time with so many people around, which made her a little embarrassed.
Nonetheless, the topic of gifts was thus brushed aside.
What’s a birthday without a cake?
A five-layer cake was rolled in.
The candles were lit, and Dong Le somehow conjured up a birthday hat and handed it to Jiang Jingheng.
"Brother Jiang, you’re the birthday star today, you must wear it."
"Yeah, the birthday star has to wear the hat and make a wish!" The others chimed in.
They only dared to be so bold when Mu Yan was around, knowing he wouldn’t do anything to them in front of her.
Mu Yan looked at Jiang Jingheng, also a bit curious. Would he put it on?
He didn’t seem like someone so childish!
Jiang Jingheng took the birthday hat, examined it, and under everyone’s expectant gaze, placed it on Mu Yan’s head.
He said with a smile, "Your wish is my wish, go ahead and make it."
Dong Le and the others were not surprised by the doting smile Jiang Jingheng sometimes showed. However, the few newcomers almost had their jaws drop.
Not to mention that Jiang Jingheng’s girlfriend is Mu Yan, the celebrity, just looking at his attitude towards her, it didn’t seem like a casual fling.
Mu Yan looked at Jiang Jingheng. Was he serious?
"Sister-in-law, make a wish quickly, or the candles will burn out," Ning Ze reminded.
Mu Yan snapped back to reality, looked at the cake, and closed her eyes to make a wish.
After she finished wishing, the others said, "Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, blow out the candles."
Jiang Jingheng did not object, holding Mu Yan’s hand, they stood up to blow out the candles.
Once the candles were out, Ning Ze asked Mu Yan, "Sister-in-law, what wish did you just make?"
