Chapter 39 Happy Birthday to You
For two days in a row, Cen Man avoided Huo Li as if out of nowhere, he got up and she pretended to be asleep, and when he went home, she hid in the room to paint. Huo Li didn't notice her abnormality, but he had no clue, he just wanted to enjoy the world of the two on his birthday, and by the way, he asked what happened to this torturous little thing.
Selfishly, the day before Cen Man's birthday, Huo Li took her and Xiaomo back to the Huo family's mansion for dinner, preparing to put Xiaomo at Mrs. Huo's place for a day the next day.
Unexpectedly, waiting for them in Huo's house was not only Mrs. Huo, but also the well-dressed Yang Meilian. Mrs. Huo was really disheartened for a while because of the old man's will, and when she saw Cen Man, she was no longer like before, so she was about to say sarcastic when she saw it, but she just glanced at her coldly.
Mrs. Huo explained to Huo Li that Yang Meilian was chatting with her just now, and it happened to be dinner, and since Huo Li and they came back to prepare a lot of meals, she left Yang Meilian to have dinner with them.
How could Huo Li not know that his mother didn't want to eat with Cen Man, and pulled Yang Meilian to embarrass her, thinking that he would have to leave Xiaomo behind for a while, so he didn't pierce Mrs. Huo's thoughts.
The group sat down, Yang Meilian sweetly gave Mrs. Huo vegetables, and praised Xiaomo for being more and more like Huo Li the longer she looked, only she was heard at the dinner table, and Mrs. Huo was amused by her from time to time, as if they were a pair of harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Huo Li secretly observed this Cen Man, and saw that she had been glancing at Yang Meilian absentmindedly, looking preoccupied.
Cen Man's attention was indeed on Yang Meilian.
On her white and plump neck, a dazzling diamond necklace stung her eyes deeply. As if sensing Cen Man's eyes, Yang Meilian saw the opportunity, and deliberately after Mrs. Huo said something interesting, she smiled and leaned back, and the necklace swayed on her chest, which was particularly eye-catching.
"Meilian, did you buy this necklace newly, it looks good." Mrs. Huo also noticed Yang Meilian's movement and looked over. Yang Meilian looked shy: "Ah, this necklace is a gift from others, I like it very much." A pair of charming eyes almost stuck to Huo Li's face, and the answer seemed to be about to come out.
Mrs. Huo also misunderstood, she was happy in her heart, and said hello in a row, and called Huo Li to watch it together, saying that she also wanted to buy one and let him give him a palm.
Huo Li glanced up, Yang Meilian's necklace was somewhat similar to the one she bought for Cen Man at first glance, and it was estimated that she was thinking carefully. Huo Li's thin lips opened slightly: "I think generally, this style is suitable for young people to wear, mom, you can pick another style." "Look at you, yes, yes, only a young girl like Meilian looks good in it, you mean that."
"Mrs. Huo, don't say that, I'm embarrassed."
This back and forth conversation was ambiguous, as if he was praising Yang Meilian, Huo Li raised his thick eyebrows high and stopped talking.
Cen Man buried his face behind his rice bowl to hide his injured look.
It turned out that the diamond necklace was really given to Yang Meilian by him, and it turned out that he really accompanied her to pick out jewelry that day.
Cen Man's heart was so confused that he didn't think for a while, since Huo Li bought a necklace to give Yang Meilian, why did he have to bring things home that day?
A meal, everyone has a mind, and the food does not know the taste.
In the blink of an eye, the next day, Huo Li wanted to ask for leave at home, but Secretary Chen informed him that there was something wrong with the project, and the manager in charge did not dare to make decisions without permission, so Huo Li had to hurry to the company to deal with business, and before leaving, he specially told Cen Man that Lang Jun would come to pick her up at night and let her not run around.
There were only Mother Sun and herself left at home, and Cen Man felt that the huge villa was empty and extremely lonely.
When Bai Annian sent her a message, Cen Manzheng couldn't concentrate on painting and was a little distracted. Bai Annian wished her a happy birthday and asked her if she had any activities today, and if not, she would have a meal together.
Cen Man thought that Huo Li said that he was going to pick her up, but somehow, it was like seeing Yang Meilian's diamond necklace shining in front of her again. Today is her birthday, even if you indulge yourself in self-willedness once.
Bai Annian saw that Cen Man's expression looked gloomy when he talked about his birthday last time, and then he saw Huo Li and Yang Meilian dating, I was afraid that Huo Li would also ignore this matter, so he wanted to ask Cen Man to come out and relax. Unexpectedly, Cen Man suddenly said that he wanted to drink.
Bai Annian looked Cen Man up and down, she really couldn't think of Cen Man going to the bar like a silk flower, such a place where dragons and snakes were mixed, don't say that Huo Li didn't allow it, and she didn't dare to take Cen Man there.
At Cen Man's insistence, Bai Annian had no choice but to buy a bunch of wine to take people back to his home, and was stunned to see that Cen Man had drunk most of the time alone, and he was drunk.
This is the second time Cen Man has drunk in his life, the first time is the day when Cen Ting and them sent Huo out of bed, the bitter alcohol went down his stomach, Cen Man felt dizzy that wine was really a good thing, and it could make people forget their troubles.
When Cen Man's phone was about to be blown up by Huo Li, it was finally answered, and Huo Li's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. finally finished dealing with the company's affairs, and couldn't wait to send Lang Jun to pick up the end, Huo Lixing rushed home but pounced.
Mother Sun said that the young lady went out in the afternoon and never came back. didn't reply to the message, didn't answer the phone, and watched the appointment time pass, Huo Li was still angry at first, and then gradually began to worry about whether Cen Man had an accident again, just when he was crazy, Cen Man's phone was connected, but it was Bai Annian who spoke.
Picking up the woman who smelled of wine from Bai Annian's house and washing the person clean, Huo Li didn't know what expression to use to face the woman with a crimson face and misty eyes.
The romantic dinner is gone, and the elaborate gifts are almost like a joke when they are taken out. But Cen Man still grabbed his collar alive and dead, and his little face was full of accusations.
Cen Man seemed to see Huo Li's face in a daze, and he was suddenly full of grievances. Thinking that he was in a dream, he reached out and pinched Huo Li's handsome face fiercely, and pulled it hard to both sides.
"What are you doing!" Huo Li half-grabbed the crumbling villain and took her restless claws.
Cen Man, who felt that he was going to be bullied even in his dreams, suddenly filled his big eyes with tears. For the first time in his life, Huo Li felt that his head was as big as a fight.
"What's wrong with you?" tentatively coaxed Cen Man with a kneading voice, "Is it okay to sleep?" ”
Cen Man grabbed the pen and paper and wrote wildly, and Huo Li carefully identified the scribbled words. "It's my birthday, how can you be so excessive." If she didn't have a head or a brain, Huo Li thought that Cen Man was blaming herself for not saying it, and couldn't help laughing angrily, if she hadn't gone to Bai Annian's house to drink for some reason, the two of them might have been rolling the sheets affectionately.
Cen Man suddenly groped around him, reached into his pocket with his little hand, and found the familiar little box.
Huo Li didn't have time to stop it, thinking that he was going to give her anyway, so he let Cen Man unpack it, opened it, and cried even more sadly.
Huo Li was confused, and his intuition didn't look like tears of surprise.
Cen Man suddenly threw away the expensive necklace and wrote: "I don't want what you give to others!" Huo Li's expression suddenly looked hard to see, when did he give a gift to others, this necklace was designed by him himself, and there is only one in the world, this woman actually dislikes it somehow.
Seeing Huo Li pull down his face, Cen Man choked. Huo Li hugged her helplessly, tolerated her wiping all her tears and snot on his expensive clothes, and thought that tomorrow when she woke up, he would have to teach her a good lesson.
But now I have to ask the matter clearly, whether she misunderstood something, so she has been so abnormal these days, and she dares to drink secretly. In Huo Li's memory, the last time he saw Cen Man drunk was the first night of the two, it was really not a good memory, Huo Li asked dissatisfiedly: "Tell me, who did I give a gift to?" ”
Cen Man just lowered his head and picked the buttons on his shirt, and Huo Li waited patiently. Just when he thought Cen Man was going to fall asleep, he felt his fingers scratching on his chest, as if he was writing, and what was written seemed to be "Yang"?
In the flash of light, Huo Li suddenly realized. This little thing has probably peeked at his gift, no wonder the last time he had dinner at Huo Mansion, Cen Man kept staring at Yang Meilian's necklace, and the two necklaces are indeed somewhat similar if they don't look closely.
Cen Man must have thought that he gave Yang Meilian a necklace and bought an identical one for her. What a stupid woman! Huo Li thought about it, but he hugged the person tighter in his hand.
"You can see clearly, the two necklaces are different, Yang Meilian's one was not given by me." Knowing that the other party was a drunk now, Huo Li still explained, knowing in his heart that he might not be able to explain to Cen Man when he was sober, because it seemed that he cared about her too much, and he must not give her this illusion.
I don't know if Cen Man listened to it, and gradually stopped crying. It's just that his hands are still hanging on Huo Li's neck, and the whole person relies on him and refuses to move.
"What a torturous little thing." Huo Li said softly in her ear, feeling that she had worked in vain for a long time, and she really couldn't help but compensate herself with some benefits.
Holding her and falling into the soft big bed, Huo Li looked at Cen Man seriously and said, "Cen Man, I wish you a happy birthday." Cen Man looked at him with misty eyes, and Huo Li kissed his thin lips after speaking, and the latter also tried his best to cater to him.
The next day, Cen Man covered his drowsy head, clearly remembering that he was drinking at Bai Annian's house, why did he return to the villa.
And the memories of last night, as well as the conversations and whatever, are very vague, and the body seems to be ......
"Sobered up?" Huo Li's voice came from beside her, Cen Man turned to look at him as if she was frightened, and was inadvertently attracted by a bright light on her chest, and a gorgeous diamond necklace hung quietly around her neck, exuding an elegant atmosphere.
A mellow male voice seemed to be heard whispering in my ears: "Stupid, I can't even tell the two necklaces apart." ”
