Chapter 17: When he was celebrating someone else's birthday, she was alone

"You said it was a desperate gamble, and I guess few people want my courage. Lin Qian was noisy over there, "Okay, I have something to do here." That cake is very expensive, although I know you're in a bad mood...... But at least go back and have a taste, and don't let me down. ”

"Okay. Miao Miao smiled and bowed her head.

Lin Qian sends her a cake every year on her birthday. Because of her own reasons, Lin Qian spent very little time in China, even in her darkest and most vicious year, she was unable to return to China for various reasons, and she could only care about Miao Miao's situation through Ji Bai at all times.

Perhaps it is because of this that the two have always been in contact. At that time, Miao Miao had reached a point where she "felt powerless to accept anyone's concern".

Booked a plane ticket on her mobile phone, and Miao Miao called the housekeeper: "Did someone send a courier today?" ”

The housekeeper and Mu Ningyuan were stunned when they faced the courier brother outside the door, and when they received Miao Miao's call, they suddenly realized: "Yes, did you order it, madam?"

"It's my cake. Miao Miao replied.

"Could it be...... For the young master?" The housekeeper didn't understand what Miao Miao meant for a while, and thought that the lady knew that today was Su Banglian's birthday, and the young master was going to celebrate, so he specially ordered itβ€”although he himself felt a little whimsical.

"I said, "That cake, it's mine. Miao Miao frowned, her voice a little impatient, "It was given to me by someone else, put it in the refrigerator for me, don't let anyone touch that cake." ”

The housekeeper was a bit dumbfounded.

Although Miao Miao was not very enthusiastic and had been cold and indifferent, he had never spoken in this tone, and the action of hanging up the phone was not too neat, and before he could respond or say "sorry", Miao Miao had already hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Mu Ningyuan looked at the list in the courier brother's hand and made sure that he didn't know the orderer, but the recipient was very clear - Miao Miao.

He neatly signed for the cake, and the maid in the back quickly stepped forward to reach out and take the cake.

"It was the lady who called, saying that the cake was hers and that it was going to be put in the refrigerator. The butler lowered his eyes and spoke.

"Hers. Mu Ningyuan paused, "Could it be that she is also today's birthday?"

"This ......" The butler really doesn't know this. Miao Miao has been in the Mu family for less than a year, and her relationship with the Mu family is not close, and she rarely talks about herself, and their servants have not heard any precautions from their masters, and they really have no impression of Miao Miao's birthday.

Mu Ningyuan remembered that there was this in the information he investigated, but at that time, he only paid attention to Miao Miao's life, and things like birthdays were completely out of the stream.

Besides, even if it was really Miao Miao's birthday? Could he still stay to celebrate? If Miao Miao really wanted to hold a banquet, he would have informed everyone of this matter a long time ago.

"Alright, I got it. Mu Ningyuan stopped the butler's words, "I'll go first." ”

Sitting in the car, Mu Ningyuan held the mobile phone in his hand, was silent for a while, and turned the mobile phone for a long time, he suddenly took out his mobile phone and called the secretary: "When is Miao Miao's birthday?"

The special assistant who finally had a good weekend: ......

However, he quickly reacted: "Please wait a minute, I'll take a look." "At the beginning, he was responsible for checking Miao Miao's information, and he also knew something about the matter between Miao Miao and Mu Ningyuan, and he still had Miao Miao's complete information in his computer. Soon, there was an answer on the other end of the phone, "Tomorrow." ”

"You go and order a set of jewelry now. Mu Ningyuan's thoughts turned quickly, "If you want to be expensive, it's best to be limited." Also, didn't Chanel release a commemorative bag a while ago? ”

"Boss, time is so tight, I'm so prepared!" the special assistant wailed, "It's not that you don't know a woman's purchasing power!

"Money is not an issue. Mu Ningyuan spoke, "This is Miao Miao's first birthday after marrying me, take advantage of it." ”

So boss, do you really plan to squeeze every cent of value out of Miss Miao?

But Miss Miao is not a fuel-efficient lamp......

Tesuke thought of the newly appointed Mrs. Mu who smiled like a thousand-year-old fox, and couldn't help but shudder: "Okay, I know, I'll go back and do it." ”

"Well, it's done and sent directly to the house. Mu Ningyuan commanded.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Ningyuan's face was cloudy and uncertain.

It wasn't until the car arrived downstairs at Su Bangyuan's house that he saw Su Bang Curtain standing at the door of the building with his hands quietly clasped with a gentle smile on his face, that the gloom on Mu Ningyuan's face faded and his eyelids were softly hung up.

"Brother Mu, you're here. Su Curtain staggered.

"Well, happy birthday, curtains. Mu Ningyuan handed the gift that had been placed in the carriage to Su Bang Shu, "This is my heart." ”

"Every time I celebrate my birthday, Brother Mu has to buy valuable things. Su Bang Curtain wrinkled his nose a little dissatisfied, "I don't dare to wear those precious jewelry, for fear of being robbed by the bikers!"

"I'll just buy it for you if I grab it. Mu Ningyuan laughed, "If you don't wear it, my mind will not be in vain." ”

"No, I treasure Brother Mu's intentions. Su Bang Curtain paused, a little gloomy, "Actually, my birthday has been very simple in the past few years, after all, it is because of my father...... But this year, my mom said that she wanted to celebrate, because I graduated from college this year and officially started working, and I should not mention the past. ”

"Well, it's none of your business, after all. Why do you blame yourself for so many years? Mu Ningyuan sighed.

Su Bang Curtain looked at the comforting expression on Mu Ningyuan's face, and lowered his eyelids a little undaringly.

That was the only thing she had done in her life for so many years......

When Miao Miao returned to City A, it was already close to ten o'clock. There was a queue for a taxi outside the airport, and she didn't bother to call the driver to pick her up, so she just found a taxi and sat on it.

"Master, go to the xx community. After Miao Miao finished speaking, she closed her eyes and recuperated. I don't know if it's because of a bad mood or because she hasn't rested well in the past two days, she is slightly dizzy and her head is dizzy. Even with delicate makeup on his face, he can't help but look a little haggard.

It was already eleven o'clock when I got home.

The housekeeper opened the door for Miao Miao and took the luggage in Miao Miao's hand: "Madam, it's so late, do you want to have a little supper?"

"No, you can put your luggage in my room and go and rest by yourself. Miao Miao commanded lightly.

"Okay. ”

She took off her makeup and took a shower, and after such a while, it was already zero o'clock.

The sound of text messages rang on time on the mobile phone, it was Ji Bai's message - Happy Birthday.

Four years ago today, she was alone holding the cake that her parents made for her, and she ate it alone until she vomited with that sweet taste.

Today, four years later, she is still alone, sitting in the small side room where the servants outside the kitchen are dining, and spending her twenty-fifth birthday with that exquisite fruit cake.
