“I'm willing to, can't I?” Gu Beicheng pestered him . “I'm asking you a question . Quick, answer me . ”
“Don't all women like romantic stuff? But I haven't done such stuff before, you think about it yourself . ” Ye Xiaotian's tone changed as he continued, “But, there are so many girls here . How about I choose one for you?”
“Don't I have eyes and a mouth of my own, why would I need you to choose for me?”
“Come, I'll choose one for you . ”
“I don't want to,” Gu Beicheng replied resolutely, standing up and closing his laptop shut . “I'm going back . ”
“Why're you leaving when I just arrived?”
“I have things to do . ”
The 15th of July was An Xiaoning's birthday .
Her master had told her that she was born on this day .
She did not know if it was accurate, but she indeed believed that it was this day .
Because her master was never wrong .
When she woke up, An Xiaoning felt weak all over . Maybe it was due to her pregnancy, or that she had lain down for too long or some other reason .
Early in the morning, Gu Beicheng called to tell her that he would be bringing her back to the Gu residence to celebrate her birthday at night .
She agreed .
She took her injection in the morning and stayed at home for the whole day, until Gu Beicheng came to pick her up at night .
Once she was picked up by him, Jin Qingyan's men immediately informed him of her movements .
“Gu Beicheng went to pick her up?”
“Yes . ”
Jin Qingyan's face instantly changed . He had intended to give her a birthday present at night . But now this fellow, Gu Beicheng, had beaten him to it .
He was very upset about it and felt that he was really foolish . He had left such a good opportunity to have her in the day, and now he could only wait for her to return .
With his hands clasped behind his back, he paced around the room like an impatient lion . This situation where he had prepared everything but lacked the crucial element was one that could really drive someone mad .
Mrs . Gu prepared a whole table of dishes and an exquisite cake with the figure of an arrogant princess . It stood there wearing a divine dress, smiling .
It looked quite similar to An Xiaoning's looks . One could see, it was made according to her face .
“Xiaoning, there're still fireworks later . Beicheng arranged all these for you . He doesn't even put in that much effort for my birthday . ”
An Xiaoning looked up at Gu Beicheng . “Brother, thank you . ”
“What's there to thank, we're all family . ”
She sat down as she said, “No one has ever celebrated my birthday for me . Now that I have family, this feeling is really good . ”
“Every year from now, we'll celebrate it for you . ” Mrs . Gu continued cheerily, “Come, sit down, everyone . Let's eat . ”
Gu Beicheng noticed that, throughout the meal, her phone kept ringing .
“Who's calling, why aren't you picking up?” Mrs . Gu asked .
“It's nothing . ” An Xiaoning looked down and turned off her phone before continuing to eat .
After the meal, Gu Beicheng brought her to the swing in the courtyard and they sat on one swing each . He whistled, and instantly, there came loud sounds of explosion in the air . Vibrant fireworks started displaying endlessly; it was a beautiful sight .
An Xiaoning looked at the beautiful scenery right before her eyes and exclaimed, “How beautiful . ”
Gu Beicheng turned and looked at her . “Do you like it?”
“Yes . Only very few people would dislike such beautiful sights . ” She was indeed happy tonight, that someone would put in so much effort for her .
“Later, do you want to go to the playground?”
An Xiaoning showed an astonished look . “The playground?”
“Umm . If you don't like it, then we don't have to go . ”
“I like it . ” Since he put in his heart and soul in preparing it, she did not want to reject it .
Gu Beicheng smiled lightly, enjoying these words from her .
After eating and watching the fireworks, they went to the playground and had loads of fun .
But someone was unhappy .
Extremely, extremely unhappy .
Having sat in the living room for a long time and called her so many times, he found that not only did she not answer, but she also switched off her phone thereafter .
Jin Qingyan had an impulse to smother someone at that very moment .
At the thought of her and Gu Beicheng perhaps enjoying themselves under the moonlight, the fire in his heart continued to burn .
However, he still restrained from rushing out and merely stood at the roof, waiting as he looked out with a pair of binoculars .
Time ticked away just like that .
Finally, when it was past ten at night, the headlight of a car projected from a distance away .
He took a closer look, and it was Gu Beicheng's car indeed . It stopped right outside An Xiaoning's front door .
“Finally back . ”
Jin Qingyan put down the binoculars and went downstairs .
An Xiaoning got off and waved goodbye at Gu Beicheng . “Be careful on the road . ”
“Goodnight . ” He obviously appeared like he was in a good mood and turned his car away .
An Xiaoning had just turned around when she saw Jin Qingyan furiously storming towards her .
He grabbed her wrist tightly and, before she knew it, her whole body was being dragged away by him forcefully .
She did not want to fight back; she was extra cautious of her body and did not want to make strenuous actions .
Yet, this allowed him to act more boldly .
“Jin Qingyan, let go of me . ”
He did not make a sound and immediately dragged her to his own house . Bringing her to the living room was not enough, he even brought her all the way up to the roof .
He put her down on the sofa and then sat down as well .
“Gu Beicheng celebrated your birthday for you, are you that happy about it? I could see you smiling like a flower from miles away . ”
“What a warped logic . Someone celebrated my birthday for me and I'm not supposed to smile, but cry instead?”
“Don't think I don't know it's your birthday today . ” His tone was slightly enraged . “I waited here for you the whole night and you didn't come . Why don't you just come over tomorrow morning?”
“How is this the whole night? It's only past ten . ”
“For me, every second seemed like years!”
An Xiaoning turned to the side as she muttered, “I didn't ask you to wait . ”
He was using strength to grab her wrist, and it was painful enough to make her frown . Under the night sky, his face was almost unclear, yet she could fully sense that he was furious .
“I wanted to wait, can't I?” he replied after a moment .
“I'm very tired, I want to go back and rest . ” She tried to shake off his hand, but struggled desperately and was eventually unable to .
“I don't allow it . ”
“I have freedom of my movement, what gives you the right to not allow it?”
“Because I haven't celebrated your birthday for you . ”
An Xiaoning was taken aback, and the lights suddenly went on . They stared into each other's eyes and realized that both their eyes were red .
The roof was originally a pavilion . Under the pavilion was a sofa and a coffee table, with wine glasses and red wine arranged on it .
His men came up in an orderly manner and filled up the whole table .
Jin Qingyan poured two glasses of red wine and passed one to her . An Xiaoning did not take it . “I've quit drinking . ”
“You won't give me face?” He looked up . “Take it . ”
An Xiaoning took it from him and poured the wine onto the floor . “I said I'm not drinking . ”
Jin Qingyan obviously did not know the reason she did not want to drink and only felt that she was resisting him .
He placed the wine glass on the table heavily and leaned close to her, staring at her face . “Tonight, you stay here . ”
“Jin Qingyan, don't make me fight . ”
“You shouldn't make me turn tough too . ” He said lightly and in a cold tone, “Tonight, I'm having you . ”
