In a daze, the cake packaging box had been taken to the dining table and opened.
A few small white flowers were randomly dotted on the light green cream, and a line of words was written in white cream in the center:
Happy birthday to dear princess
Apart from this, there are no other decorations and the style is relatively simple.
Zhuli's eyes were burning, and tears came out of her eyes and fell to the corner of her mouth.
Licking her lips lightly, tears seemed sweeter than cake.
"Why are you so hurt all of a sudden?"
She pretended to be angry, half-covering her watery eyes.
Jing Huaizhi walked up to her, led her to the dining table, sat her down, and raised his hand to brush the strands of hair from her forehead.
"Make a wish."
He didn't answer her last question and went straight to the topic.
Zhuli tilted his head, his clear pupils radiating light.
The firelight reflected in her eyes, shining directly with charming temptation.
"Mom, make a wish quickly!"
Jing Youyou couldn't wait to eat the cake, but Zhuli let her go last time.
She smiled lightly and pursed her clean lips again and again.
After a while, he clasped his hands and closed his eyes.
Under the expectant looks of Jing Huaizhi and Jing Youyou, they blew out the candles.
Ding-
The cell phone lying on the sofa rang.
While they were cutting the cake, they quietly went to check it out.
Guan Zheng: I forgot to wish you a happy birthday.
Guan Zheng: No one will celebrate your birthday with you today except me, right? Why don't you give me some charity?
Zhuli rolled her eyes and snorted.
Beggars need your charity even more.
But she didn't reply and deleted it with one click.
Just after deleting all his messages, a new message popped up on the screen.
Or Guan Zheng: If you are abandoned by Mr. Jing, I can reconsider being with you.
She couldn't help but feel disgust and contempt on her face.
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I typed a few words at random.
I think you and Manager Xia are the best match in the world, respect and wish you the best!
After quarreling with her, she instantly felt refreshed. She turned over her phone and threw it back on the sofa.
He strode to Jing Huaizhi and hugged him from behind.
Jing Huaizhi's fingers holding the cake were covered in cream, and he was flattered to be hugged from behind by her like this.
His dark eyes were filled with a smile, and his gentle and magnetic voice had a teasing tone:
"You can't wait that much?"
"Then you have to eat first."
Zhuli's ears suddenly turned red, and her body froze instantly.
How could she understand what he was saying.
He quickly let go of him and sat next to Jing Youyou, looking very panicked.
"Dad, Youyou is not full, Youyou is hungry."
Jing Youyou rubbed her belly with her little hands, pouting her little mouth and saying pitifully.
Zhuli's fingers hanging under the table kept tightening, feeling embarrassed and helpless.
Guan Zheng sent her a message at this time just to remind her that if she still chooses to hide it, there will always be a gap between them.
forever?
Zhuli's eyes narrowed for a moment and his face darkened.
Will there be the word 'forever' between him and her?
"What are you doing standing still?"
The corners of the man's lips were raised slightly, and he was staring at her sideways.
"come over."
Jing Huaizhi shouted again.
She stood up in embarrassment and walked over.
It was only a dozen steps from where she was sitting to Jing Huaizhi's side, but she walked for half a minute.
Jing Huaizhi couldn't help but smile: "You were eager to stick to me just now, but now you are possessed by a ghost?"
After Zhuli paused for a moment, he timidly started to move again.
Standing beside him, he raised the corners of his mouth and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Boss, you have something to give me."
The smile on Jing Huai's lips did not diminish, and his dark eyes flashed darkly for a moment.
He stretched his right arm in the air and said slowly: "Help me arrange the cufflinks."
Zhuli was puzzled but still did as he was told.
As soon as the white fingers touched the man's cuffs, he panicked and continued to stretch his fingers inside.
Suddenly, she seemed to touch something.
He was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand, and his fingers just stopped in the air.
"continue."
He stared at her and uttered a few more words.
Zhuli's lips opened slightly, but she swallowed what she wanted to say when it reached her lips.
The fingertips returned to the previous position and continued to penetrate deeper.
He picked up the unknown object hidden in his sleeve between his thumb and index finger and brought it out, wanting to find out.
Unexpectedly, it got longer and longer, and she took hundreds of steps back, and her pupils couldn't help but get bigger and bigger.
This is?
"Like it?"
Jing Huaizhi supported his head with one hand and took in all her expressions.
Zhuli held the red banknotes wrapped in plastic wrap in both hands and nodded constantly.
She was speechless for a moment and just stared at the thing in her hand in a daze.
"Like it or me?"
Jing Huaizhi had a smirk on his lips and sneered slightly.
How do you want her to answer this?
Who doesn't like money, but she prefers him throwing money at her.
"All, all like it."
She slowly squeezed out a few words through her teeth, checking the sponsor's reaction as she spoke.
The man tapped her forehead with his knuckles and said with a smile, "Little money lover."
Zhuli blinked, and a tiny light appeared in his eyes.
How could he be so good to her? Too good.
"I have something to say to you."
He raised his eyes and looked at him faintly.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Jing Huaizhi didn't answer but went to open the door first.
"Sir, I'm here to pick you up."
Butler Li didn't come in, but stood at the door and politely explained the reason.
Jing Youyou resisted all over, she wanted to stay with her parents.
Putting down the half-eaten cake, he hugged Jing Huaizhi's thigh and said coquettishly, "Dad, Youyou doesn't want to leave."
Jing Huaizhi bent down and picked her up, whispering a few words in her ear.
Jing Youyou had a resisting look on her face just now, but now her eyes suddenly glowed and she nodded.
He opened his arms and got into Butler Li's arms.
The door was closed, Zhuli frowned.
She was curious about how he convinced Jing Youyou in a short period of time.
"Say it."
Jing Huaizhi sat on the sofa, crossing his long legs.
She turned around, lowered her eyes and fiddled with the remaining threads of her clothes.
"My family of origin was very bad. My father and my mother divorced when I was very young. Legally, I was given to my mother, but my mother was unable to raise me and gave me to my father."
"My stepmother has a son, and she wanted me to marry him after my father passed away."
"They took away my college entrance examination admission letter and didn't want me to go to school."
Speaking of this, Zhuli stopped, with a trace of pain in his eyes.
He endured the soreness in his nose and continued to speak.
"One night, he sneaked into my room and took off my clothes..."
The clenched fists tried to suppress the painful past, desperately suppressing the unspeakable suffering.
"I didn't even have room to move around in the small room. I rushed to the door and tried to open it to escape, but it couldn't be opened."
"The door was locked from the outside."
"Just when I thought I was going to be violated by him, it was Guan... Guan Zheng broke in and rescued me."
