Chapter 40: Birthday Surprise
Xiao Qingge stayed in the house all day today, always feeling that he had something important to do, but he couldn't remember what it was.
It made her feel depressed.
Calling the potatoes to her room, she sat on the bed reading a book, the potatoes lingering with the toy balls on the blanket.
The sun was setting, the sky was red, and the breeze outside the house was blowing, making a slight clanging sound against the windows.
Aunt Tong stepped into the iron gate with a bag of vegetables in one hand and a big box in the other, panting, Sister Ling, who was busy working in the yard, saw it, and hurriedly ran over to take some of the things in her hand and share the weight for her.
"Where's Miss?" The weight of her hand was reduced, and Aunt Tong took a few breaths of relief before asking.
"I'm reading a book upstairs." Sister Ling replied with a smile and cast a reassuring look at Aunt Tong.
The two walked into the house together.
"Okay, let's hurry up and go to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal tonight, depending on the situation, Miss has forgotten her birthday, so we should surprise her." After entering the house, Aunt Tong spoke a little quieter.
"Okay, but will the young master come back early today?" Sister Ling replied with a smile and asked the doubts in her heart.
Speaking of Ye Lingchen, Aunt Tong frowned, she really didn't know this, and the young master didn't give a clear answer when he left in the morning.
Anyway, let's get ready first.
Thinking so, Tong Shoe and Sister Ling went into the kitchen to work hard, and carefully put the cake box carried by the mobile phone into the refrigerator.
When the sky darkened a little, Xiao Qingge estimated that it was time for dinner, and the room was bored, so he could go down to the kitchen to help Aunt Tong and them.
Looking down at the bed, the little one was lying on the carpet and fell asleep.
She got out of bed a little lightly, stepped on her slippers on tiptoe, walked slowly to the door, and as soon as she turned her handlebar, Potato's eyes widened, and she ran over and jumped and rubbed against her legs.
Xiao Qingge gasped, this little guy is now more and more familiar with himself, and has become extremely clingy, in addition to forcibly blocking it to the door when sleeping, it has to scratch the door for a while before leaving in a gray manner, usually Xiao Qingge walks in the house, it follows her legs, even when she is sitting in the living room watching TV, she moves from one end of the sofa to the other, and the potatoes must follow.
But now I am going to the kitchen to help Aunt Tong and them, and it has been scurrying under its feet, and what to do if I don't pay attention to stepping on it.
She pushed open the door and ran out before it, and Xiao Qingge had no choice but to take it down.
As soon as she went downstairs, the rich aroma of the food was fragrant, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, Aunt Tong had already made dinner so early?
Xiao Qingge walked quickly to the restaurant with doubts, but he didn't see Aunt Tong and Sister Ling, but a table full of colorful and fragrant dishes, much more abundant than usual.
She was surprised when Aunt Tong brought out her favorite steamed fish and put it on the table, and her face couldn't hide the joy.
Aunt Tong set the dishes, only to see Xiao Qingge standing not far away, looking at her expression with a blank expression, she didn't remember that it was today's birthday.
"Miss, you're down." She approached first and said hello.
"Well, how is Aunt Tong's dinner so rich today?" Xiao Qingge turned his head and glanced at Aunt Tong, and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Miss, what day is it that you don't remember at all?" Aunt Tong was helpless and couldn't help but remind.
Xiao Qingge still looked confused.
"Miss, it's your birthday!" Sister Ling, who happened to come out of the kitchen, couldn't help but say.
"Yes, yes, Miss, look at you, you have forgotten such an important day." Aunt Tong smiled and agreed.
Xiao Qingge suddenly realized, no wonder I always feel as if something is going on in my heart today, since I came to this place, I have been living in a mess every day, I don't know which month and day, I only remember how long I came.
She looked up at the two laughing people in front of her, and her eyes began to sink.
Remembering the birthday she used to have at home, her mother also prepared a table of sumptuous home-cooked dishes, and then the family of three sang a birthday song to the cake, made a birthday wish, and finally the mother would personally order a bowl of longevity noodles, at this moment, she even heard the laughter of her mother and younger brother......
She really misses her family, but it's not time to go back.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Tong saw Xiao Qingge standing stunned, and called in a low voice.
I thought to myself that I was old, so I couldn't have mistaken the time to remember the day, right?
"It's okay, Aunt Tong, thank you." Xiao Qingge, who was pulled back to his thoughts by Aunt Tong's voice, replied.
He turned his head to look at the dishes they had carefully prepared, and his eyes were warm.
She is really grateful to them for their care and care for her, and even gives her a warm and happy feeling when she is at home.
Aunt Tong and Sister Ling are like their relatives, Xiao Qingge has asked them many times to call them Qingge, but the two of them always care about Ye Lingchen and only call Miss.
At this moment, there was a sound of slamming the door.
The three of them turned their heads to look at the door, and Ye Lingchen, who had returned from the night, came into their sight, and Aunt Tong took the lead to greet them.
Xiao Qingge saw at a glance a purple gift bag he was carrying, with a big logo on it that was a famous luxury brand.
Was this a birthday present he had prepared for himself?
The thought flashed through her mind, a warm current slipped, but it was immediately rejected!
It's absolutely impossible!
Not to mention that this is not in line with his noble status as president, and Ye Lingchen will not know that he has a birthday today.
She withdrew her gaze from staring at the gift bag.
Xiao Qingge didn't expect that Aunt Tong had quietly told her early in the morning.
A hint of loss flashed on her face, and immediately Aunt Tong's words made her blood surge again.
"Young master, dinner is ready." After speaking, Ling Chen took off the coat that still had his body temperature remaining, looked at Xiao Qingge and said with a happy face: "Miss, look at me in the morning and told the young master that you had a birthday today, and he rushed back early from work, and he ...... it."
When Ye Lingchen heard this, he immediately cast a sharp look at him, and Aunt Tong closed her mouth, still snickering on her face.
Xiao Qingge stood in place, surprised by Aunt Tong's words, when Ye Lingchen had already walked to the dining table and put the bag she had been carrying in her hand in front of her.
Without saying a word, he pulled out his stool and sat down in his place.
Xiao Qingge looked at the beautifully packaged gift bag in front of him, and then looked up at Ye Lingchen, who had been keeping his head down.
Even if he didn't say anything, the joy in Xiao Qingge's heart was beyond words, he would care about his birthday, and he also prepared a gift for himself......
Her eyelids twitched, and her eyes finally fell on the goodie bag.
Aunt Tong put on the coat that Ye Lingchen had just taken off, and happily came over and took Xiao Qingge's hand and said, "Miss, the young master prepared a gift for you, hurry up and open it and take a look." ”
Xiao Qingge's clenched fists tightened, she also wanted to know what was inside, not because of the big luxury logo on the gift bag to prove how expensive the contents were, but because this was the first gift he gave herself.
Aunt Tong and Sister Ling were still coaxing beside them, and Ye Lingchen on the main seat did not squeak, Xiao Qingge hesitated for a while before reaching out to take the gift bag.
Cautiously reaching in, Aunt Tong and Sister Ling's eyes lit up, staring quietly at the movements of her hands.
There was also a long, more beautifully packaged gift box, and the high-quality satin on the gift box was comfortable to the touch, and she pulled it out and set the bag aside.
With a flick of your fingers, you find the button and the gift box pops open, and you see a brilliant and unique diamond necklace.
Emitting colorful light under the illumination of the light, Xiao Qingge didn't have time to take a closer look, and tears blurred her eyes, but she still held back so that tears would not flow out.
"Ah, miss, it's a necklace, it's so chic, this style really matches your temperament." Sister Ling looked at the jewelry box in her hand and said seriously.
"yes, yes, it's really beautiful." Aunt Tong agreed.
Xiao Qingge looked up at Ye Lingchen, he was sitting expressionlessly, everything seemed to have nothing to do with him, which made her wonder if the necklace in her hand was the one he had just given her.
At this time, Aunt Tong went to the refrigerator and brought the cake that had been prepared a long time ago and put it on the corner of the dining table.
Xiao Qingge put away her thoughts, closed the gift box again and put it in the gift bag, and Aunt Tong opened the cake box.
"How can there be no cake on your birthday, come Miss, make a wish and blow out the candles first." Aunt Tong said with a smile, carefully inserting the candle on the cake and lighting it.
