Chapter 295: Birthday Banquet (Part 5)
Having just finished her work, Assistant Qiao finally relaxed, only to be baffled by a call from her boss, the big CEO. Why on earth was there a sudden decision to acquire a magazine company in the middle of the night?
Qiao Zi sullenly put down the phone. Having worked with Sheng Jianan for many years, she always knew her boss had a temper that wasn’t exactly predictable, but at least before, there was some pattern to it. Now, she felt her big CEO was becoming even more unpredictable.
One moment it’s clear skies, the next moment it’s thunder and lightning.
Assistant Qiao stated that she couldn’t handle these roller-coaster mood swings anymore as she was getting older.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Tang Yanqi was indeed not asleep yet; her phone was just on silent. She lay on Qi Cheng’s bed. The two girls were squeezed onto a single small bed, but neither of them cared.
Qi Cheng held onto Tang Yanqi’s arm. Neither had fallen asleep, but they didn’t talk any further, as everything important had already been said in texts.
That night’s events were a big deal for any girl, but with Qi Cheng’s ever-optimistic nature, she clearly understood that her life could not be ruined because of that night.
As long as her body was okay, it was just a ridiculous night. She would work hard to forget it, believing that life is mostly beautiful.
As for who that guy turned out to be, Qi Cheng really didn’t care. Whether the person was a rich second generation or a big boss, it didn’t matter to her; they were just scum to her, and she didn’t want to know.
Tang Yanqi held Qi Cheng’s hand, thankful that her friend remained so optimistic and positive, yet she felt pained by this optimism.
A girl who loves to laugh cried, showing she was truly hurt; Tang Yanqi hadn’t forgotten that morning when Qi Cheng hugged her, sobbing uncontrollably.
The next day, Tang Yanqi got up, returned to bed, and saw on her phone that there were actually eleven texts from Sheng Jianan.
Opening them one by one, Tang Yanqi thought Sheng Jianan had something urgent, which was why he sent so many texts. However, after seeing the content, Tang Yanqi was embarrassed.
"Tang Yanqi, my hand hurts."
"Hey, woman, I got a blister on my lip, how are you going to compensate me?"
"Where are you?"
Almost all eleven messages were similar in content. Tang Yanqi calmly put the phone back in her bag, deciding that the best way to deal with someone being shamelessly idle was to completely ignore him.
Yet Tang Yanqi didn’t understand why Sheng Jianan was acting weirdly. For the next few days, he came to pick her up for lunch every day, and for dinner, they either dined out after visiting Mr. Sheng at the hospital or ate together back at the villa.
Sheng Jianan, who was usually too busy to be spotted, seemed to have nothing to do these past two days.
Time flew by to the day before Tang Yanqi’s birthday, and she knew Sheng Jianan was going to organize a birthday party for her since it was arranged by Mr. Sheng.
Despite Mr. Sheng still recuperating in the hospital, he hadn’t forgotten about it, saying it was her first birthday after becoming part of the Sheng Family, so it must be well celebrated.
Tang Yanqi was grateful for Mr. Sheng’s kindness, but she actually didn’t care much about birthday parties.
"Yanxi, matters of you young people, these old bones of mine won’t get involved. This is a gift from your grandfather, and I hope you like it."
Mr. Sheng spoke while signaling someone to bring over the items.
It was a small dark red velvet box and a kraft paper file folder.
