As early as a few days ago, Su Junruo specially informed Ruan Ling that the birthday banquet could be attended in a dress, so there was no need to worry about it being too grand.

Su Junruo hopes that his birthday banquet will be like the princess's birthday party in a fairy tale, and everyone will dress up to attend.

So Ruan Ling also cooperated carefully and carefully selected a dress and matched it with jewelry.

When picking out the skirt, Ruan Ling called Ye Xu.

Su Junruo also invited Ye Xu, and Ruan Ling asked Ye Xu if she wanted to go with her, and got a positive answer.

"Su Junruo's birthday party, you should have gone there every year before, right?" Ruan Ling asked Ye Xu.

Even if Ye Xu didn't mean that to Su Junruo, the Ye family and the Su family were old acquaintances after all, and the two children had known each other for so many years.

Ye Xu said truthfully: "I have been there a few times in the past few years. ”

Ruan Ling: "What about later?"

Ye Xu: "Later, I was troublesome, and Su Junruo didn't like that someone always came to talk to me." So for the last two years, I haven't been there. ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

This reason is indeed very in line with the personalities of the two.

Ruan Ling was curious: "What about this time?" How did you decide to go again? ”

"Su Junruo invited me again this time." Ye Xu said, "Say you haven't been there before, let me accompany you." ”

Ruan Ling was a little surprised: "Su Junruo is so caring, she didn't tell me this." ”

Unexpectedly, Su Junruo actually took the risk of Ye Xu being "coveted" by other girls, and also took the initiative to let Ye Xu accompany him.

In fact, for Ruan Ling, it is very comfortable to go to the banquet alone, she just wants to taste desserts.

But she also knows that many things that seem indifferent to adults can be big things for teenage boys and girls.

Therefore, Ruan Ling will not despise the "kindness" from Su Junruo.

Ruan Ling: "Then when I see her, I'll thank her again." ”

Ye Xu's eyes flickered, and his expression suddenly became a little awkward.

"Actually......" Ye Xu whispered, "I'll go, and it's not just because she invited me." ”

Ruan Ling looked at Ye Xu and smiled: "I know, you yourself also want to accompany me, right?" ”

Ye Xu stopped talking.

Ruan Ling bent her eyes: "Then thank you, thank you for your willingness to accompany me." ”

The boy's body stiffened.

After a long time, Ye Xu said sullenly: "You're welcome." ”

.

Su Junruo's birthday.

In order to decorate the banquet venue more luxuriously, the location was not set in Su Junruo's usual place, but another property of the Su family.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ruan Ling and Ye Xu arrived at the place where the birthday banquet was held, a manor a little further away from the city center.

As soon as he got off the car, Ruan Ling felt the importance that Su Qin and Su Junruo himself attached to this banquet.

The villa is surrounded by pink and purple balloons, flowers and a huge decorative backdrop.

Walking into the interior of the house, the interior is also decorated in a very dreamy appearance.

Seeing Ruan Ling, Su Junruo, who was originally chatting with someone, immediately greeted him: "Auntie, you and Ye Xu are here!" ”

Said hello

After that, Su Junruo briefly introduced the structure of the villa, and finally pointed in a direction.

"The dessert table is over there, I've said hello, you can eat as much as you want."

Ruan Ling nodded, and took Ye Xu to the direction that Su Junruo pointed out.

Along the way, Ruan Ling took a look and found that in addition to the boys and girls of the same age as Su Junruo, there were still many adults.

may be the parents of Su Junruo's classmates like her, or they may be Su Qin's friends.

Unlike the last charity dinner, most of the people who attended this time were their wives.

However, there is almost a clear distinction between adults and middle school students.

The minors split into piles and gathered together to play various games, while the wives chatted in twos and threes.

Seeing Ruan Ling appear, someone immediately wanted to come forward and talk.

……

After the Meng family's charity dinner, there were more people who wanted to make friends with "Mrs. Ye" all of a sudden.

At that time, at the dinner, many people wanted to be close to Ruan Lingtao, but they couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

After this period of fermentation, Ruan Ling's reputation has become bigger and bigger, and even gradually began to become divine.

It is rumored that Mrs. Ye just said a word, which made the old man of the Meng family praise.

There are also rumors that Ruan Ling's biological mother is actually related to the old man of the Meng family, and her background is very good.

Many people who were unable to attend the charity dinner at that time wanted to have a relationship with Ruan Ling after hearing about these gossip.

Many of the people who came to the birthday banquet this time got the instructions of the person at home and made a special trip to get close to Ruan Lingtao.

As soon as Ruan Ling arrived at the dessert counter to get something, a well-maintained and exquisitely dressed woman came over.

"Hello, Mrs. Ye."

The person who came was Mrs. Chung.

Ruan Ling maintained a polite smile and listened to the other party's opening remarks.

Mrs. Zhong came today with a mission, and the one in the family wanted to cooperate with the Ye family, but she couldn't find a way.

With nothing to do, Mrs. Zhong could only cheekily ask her friend for a birthday invitation from Miss Su, hoping to find a breakthrough from Ruan Ling's side.

But Ruan Ling only kept a polite smile and nodded occasionally, but never took care of Ye's affairs.

Mrs. Zhong couldn't help but feel anxious, thought about it, and decided to start with Ye Xu, who had been standing beside Ruan Ling.

"Xiao Xu." Mrs. Zhong smiled kindly, "Do you remember me?" Five or six years ago, we saw it. ”

Ye Xu said lightly: "I don't remember." ”

Mrs. Zhong's face froze: "......"

She cleared her throat: "Ahem, that Xiaoxu should know Ah Xiang." Zhong Xiang is my son, and he is also from your Xiuli Middle School, one level older than you. ”

Ye Xu thought about it for a while and replied, "I'm not impressed." ”

Mrs. Chung's smile stiffened.

Ye Xu was indifferent to her, but he had been paying attention to Ruan Ling's movements.

Ruan Ling was eating a piece of strawberry Dafu, and the corners of her mouth were stained with powdered sugar.

After answering Mrs. Zhong's question, Ye Xu also handed Ruan Ling a tissue.

Five minutes later, Mrs. Chung returned home.

Ruan Ling was quiet for two minutes,

Another person walked up: "Mrs. Ye." ”

……

In ten minutes, Ruan Ling changed three people back and forth.

Ruan Ling smiled politely and politely at them? ()_[()]?『 Come to []%see the latest chapter%full chapter'(), it seems to be listening, but in fact it is concentrating on dessert.

When the third person also returned disappointed, Ruan Ling looked at Ye Xu.

Ye Xu noticed her gaze and asked, "Do you still want to eat?" I'll take it for you. ”

Ruan Ling raised the corners of his lips: "No, I was just thinking - it's three to zero now." ”

Ye Xu: "? ”

Ruan Ling said solemnly: "You see, there are already three wives looking for me just now, but there is no little girl to talk to you." ”

She glanced at Ye Xu meaningfully: "Could it be that your charm has declined?" ”

Ye Xu: "......"

Ruan Ling said with interest: "Why don't we make a bet, bet on whether the next one will come to me or you?" ”

Ye Xu was silent.

Ruan Ling seemed to be very interested, looking at Ye Xu, her eyes were shining.

After a few seconds, Ye Xu asked, "Bet on what?" ”

Ruan Ling groaned, "Hmm...... If you come to me, you'll have to eat a matcha-flavored cookie. ”

After buying desserts in the canteen that day and going home, Ruan Ling took Ye Xu to eat a lot together.

Then she found out that Ye Xu hated all matcha-flavored food.

As long as it is dipped in a little matcha powder, Ye Xu will not touch it at all.

Sure enough, hearing the word "matcha", Ye Xu subconsciously frowned.

However, seeing Ruan Ling's excited eyes, Ye Xu swallowed his saliva.

Ye Xu: "...... What if you come to me? ”

Ruan Ling blinked: "Then I'll eat a matcha biscuit?" ”

Ye Xu: "......"

"You obviously like matcha very much," he noted. ”

The last time they ate dessert together, he saw her eat several matcha Daifuku in a row.

Ruan Ling didn't panic at all when she was exposed, she just smiled: "You found out." ”

Ye Xu pursed his lips.

After a moment, he said, "If you lose, eat a red bean dorayaki." ”

Ruan Ling's eyes widened: "No! ”

She is basically not a picky eater, nor does she hate red beans, but she does not like to eat red bean paste.

Therefore, the dumplings and buns filled with bean paste are not eaten by Ruan Ling.

Seeing her reaction, the corners of Ye Xu's lips rose slightly.

Ruan Ling glared at him: "How do you know that I hate eating red bean paste?" ”

She never told anyone that she didn't like to eat red bean paste, and there were no red beans in the desserts at home before.

Ye Xu's eyes were a little proud: "When you told Aunt Zhang what you wanted to eat for breakfast before, she asked if you wanted to eat bean paste buns, and you said three times that you didn't want to." ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

Where did this kid learn his powers of observation? It won't be Ye Jingchi's words and deeds.

Seeing that Ruan Ling didn't speak for a long time, Ye Xu added another sentence: "Then do you still gamble?" ”

Ruan Ling glanced at Ye Xu and said categorically: "Ye Xu, I think you have learned badly." ”

Ye Xu don't turn his head and don't speak, mouth

() The horn is still rising.

After a while, Ruan Ling sighed: "Okay, okay? ()? [()]『Come []_See the latest chapter_ complete chapter』(), red bean paste is red bean paste. ”

Ye Xu looked at her: "Really? ”

Ruan Ling had a dead expression on his face, and wanted to nod but hesitated.

"Half an okay?" She haggled, "You can eat the remaining half for me." ”

Ye Xu: "I only eat half of that matcha biscuit." ”

Ruan Ling gritted his teeth: "Okay!" Deal. ”

At the beginning of the gambling game, Ruan Ling first observed the side.

There are really a few little girls who look like high school students, and they have been looking this way.

The girls are all dressed up very beautifully, dressed in small dresses, and although their faces are painted with delicate makeup, they are still full of youthful atmosphere.

Not to mention boys of the same age, Ruan Ling couldn't help but sigh when she saw it, I felt pity.

It's a pity that Ye Xu doesn't know why he hasn't been enlightened, otherwise Ruan Ling would definitely raise his hands to support Ye Xu in falling in love.

Is this the restriction of the male protagonist of the campus text, who will only take the initiative with women?

Maybe the three wives who came to Ruan Ling just now all returned empty-handed, but this time five minutes have passed, and no one has tried again.

Originally, Ruan Ling was still very confident, but now she is a little unconfident.

Looking at the red bean dorayaki on the dessert table, Ruan Ling reminded Ye Xu: "You are not allowed to give those girls a look, it is not right to deceive people's feelings." ”

Ye Xu glanced at Ruan Ling, and his face was helpless: "I won't." ”

Ruan Ling was satisfied.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure approached with the sound of footsteps in high heels.

The two looked at each other at the same time, and it was a girl in a lilac dress.

Ruan Ling: "......"

It was over, she wailed inwardly.

The corners of Ye Xu's lips raised.

The girl who came over was the daughter of the Wen family, named Wen Xinyue.

Seeing that Ye Xu seemed to be laughing, the girl's heartbeat sped up a little.

"Ye Xu ......" Wen Xinyue pinched her fingers unconsciously, "Everyone is playing board games over there, do you want to join us?" ”

Ye Xu's voice was faint: "You guys play, I don't need it." ”

A look of disappointment appeared on Wen Xinyue's face.

She bit her lip, unwilling to give up just like that: "Ye Xu, you finally came to a party, if you don't play with everyone, what a pity." ”

Ruan Ling's eyebrows moved slightly, and he smiled gently: "Ye Xu, everyone has specially invited you, so you can go and play." ”

In this way, when Ye Xu comes back, he may forget about the red bean dorayaki.

Ye Xu: "......"

He glanced at the dorayaki on the dessert table, and then at Ruan Ling, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

Ruan Ling also looked back at Ye Xu and winked at him with a look of anticipation.

Ye Xu's expression gradually became helpless.

Forget it, he thought.

If she'd be so happy if she escaped punishment, then it's okay to play a board game by herself.

Ye Xu turned his head and wanted to agree to the girl's request.

He made eye contact with Ruan Ling for a long time.

In Wen Xinyue's opinion, it was Ruan Ling who persuaded Ye Xu to play, but in fact, he secretly gave Ye Xu a look.

lukewarm

() Xinyue is not very happy in her heart.

When she proposed to ask Ye Xu to join her just now, several people persuaded her to forget it.

Even Su Junruo opened his mouth, saying that it was good to let Ye Xu accompany his mother, and there was no need to call him over.

Obviously, he has liked Ye Xu for a long time, but the people around him have acquiesced that Ye Xu and Su Junruo will eventually become a couple.

Wen Xinyue also joked with everyone about Su Junruo and Ye Xu on the surface, but she was not convinced in her heart.

The conditions of her family are a little worse than Su Junruo's family, and Su Junruo does not have a father yet.

Besides, she is also very beautiful, no worse than Su Junruo.

Why does everyone hold Su Junruo, and default that Ye Xu is Su Junruo's?

With such a mood, the more Su Junruo and the others disagreed, the more Wen Xinyue insisted on calling Ye Xu.

If nothing else, I just want to fight for a breath.

Now Ye Xu is smiling at himself, and he has not immediately rejected his request, and he seems to be very hopeful.

How could Wen Xinyue tolerate the opportunity to raise her eyebrows in front of everyone, which was broken by a look from Ye Xu's stepmother.

Seeing that Ye Xu turned his head, maybe he was going to succumb to his stepmother's threat and reject himself.

Wen Xinyue hurriedly grabbed Bai and said, "Ye Xu, you can come and play with us." Auntie, she's such a big person, she can't let you accompany her all the time. ()”

Hearing this, Ruan Ling's eyebrows moved.

The little girl dared to say it, much more daring than the three wives just now.

Ruan Ling could hear that this little girl seemed to be a little dissatisfied with herself.

However, Ruan Ling didn't plan to deal with her, the little girl didn't talk lightly or seriously like this, and there was a chance to be beaten by society in the future, and the loss was still to come.

However, Ye Xu's face changed.

The young man furrowed his eyebrows, and his expression instantly turned cold: "Wen Xinyue.?" ()?『 Come and see the latest chapter? Complete Chapter'()"

Wen Xinyue was stunned: "What...... What's wrong? ”

She had never seen it before, Ye Xu showed such a dissatisfied expression.

Ye Xu's tone was cold: "There are only two reasons why I will come to this party. One is to congratulate Su Junruo on her birthday, and the other is to accompany my mother. ”

Wen Xinyue still didn't understand it, but she subconsciously felt scared, and her eyes began to redden: "Ye Xu, you ......"

Ye Xu's expression did not fluctuate: "So, you can retract what you just said." I just want to be with her, and I won't go past with you. ”

Wen Xinyue froze in place for a few seconds, almost crying.

Although Ye Xu usually looks indifferent, he has never spoken to people in this tone.

Wen Xinyue bit her lip and turned around and ran away before tears really burst out of her eyes.

Ruan Ling looked helplessly at the back of the girl running away.

"Looks weird and pathetic." Ruan Ling sighed, "The little girl is only sixteen or seventeen years old. ”

Ye Xu pursed his lips and looked at Ruan Ling: "You don't have to feel guilty. ”

Ruan Ling raised her eyebrows: "Why?" ”

In fact, she didn't feel guilty, but she was forced to participate in the conflict.

Ye Xu's tone was calm: "I drove her away, and I'm only sixteen or seventeen years old." ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

It makes sense.

Thought

() Thinking, Ruan Ling asked, "You really don't want to play with them?" ()”

Ye Xu quickly replied: "Don't go.?" [()]?『 Come[]*See the latest chapter*Full chapter'()"

After a pause, as if fearing that he would refuse too bluntly, he added, "I don't want to play with people who say bad things about you." ”

At first glance, this sounds a bit naïve.

However, Ruan Ling felt a little moved inexplicably.

"Okay." Ruan Ling smiled, "Then don't go." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Ye Xu's expression gradually began to feel uncomfortable.

His eyes drifted away: "Half a red bean paste dorayaki, will you eat it first or will I eat it first?" ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

She retracted the idea she had just moved!

.

After eating the dorayaki with half of the red bean paste filling, Ruan Ling drank several sips of the drink to suppress his shock.

After that, she and Ye Xu participated in the cake cutting session.

Su Junruo wore a small silver-white dress and a diamond crown in her hair, and she was a well-deserved princess tonight.

Everyone was around Su Junruo, waiting for her to make a wish.

Ruan Ling paid a little attention and found that the girl who came to find Ye Xu just now was not among them, and she didn't know where she went.

After the wish was over, everyone handed the prepared gifts to Su Junruo and sent blessings.

The photographer brought everyone together and took a group photo in front of the cake.

Ruan Ling took Ye Xu and was invited to stand on Su Junruo's right, and on the other side was Su Junruo's mother.

Then, the guests began to eat and play again.

A number of buffet and beverage stations are set up in the villa to ensure that every guest is well fed.

Ruan Ling and Ye Xu went to get some food, sat down and ate slowly.

Halfway through eating, Su Junruo came over.

Just now Wen Xinyue came to find Ye Xu, Su Junruo didn't seem to know.

She seemed to be in a good mood, first chatted casually with Ruan Ling, and then asked Ruan Ling if she had any special desserts.

said that he would let the pastry chef make more and send it to Ye's house in a few days.

After that, Su Junruo's mother also came over to say hello to Ruan Ling Ye Xu.

Ruan Ling took this opportunity to chat with Su Qin about the studio.

However, Su Qin was very busy as the host of the banquet, so he only stayed for a while and went to entertain other guests.

After a while, a waiter came to Ruan Ling and Ye Xu's table.

The waiter served a bottle of red wine and left a folded note on the table before leaving.

Ruan Ling and Ye Xu glanced at each other.

After thinking about it, Ruan Ling took the note and slowly unfolded it.

Ruan Ling narrowed her eyes.

The handwriting on the note is beautiful, and the pen is strong and powerful, which is pleasing to the eye.

The content is confusing: "The terrace on the top floor of the villa." ”

Ruan Ling didn't know what to do.

What is it? In the second half of the birthday party, is there any after-life activity such as puzzle games?

Ruan Ling looked at Ye Xu, but found that the young man's expression was not as confused as his own.

On the contrary, there is a look that is really like this.

Ruan Ling: "Do you know this handwriting?" ”

Ye Xu pursed his lips and didn't answer.

() Ruan Ling looked at Ye Xu inquiringly: "Who is it?" ”

Ye Xu hesitated: "...... Somewhat familiar, but I forgot. ”

Ruan Linghu glanced at Ye Xu suspiciously.

"It can't be your dad, right?" She asked.

Ye Xu: "......"

Seeing Ye Xu's expression, Ruan Ling guessed most of it.

After thinking about it, Ruan Ling said, "It's so late, I'm a little scared, why don't you go with me?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Xu's expression instantly became entangled.

Ruan Ling looked at Ye Xu for a long time and hesitated, and finally laughed.

"Alright, alright." Ruan Ling said, "Then I'll go first." You don't have to wait for me, I'll message you when the time comes. ”

……

The villa has three floors, and Ruan Ling asked the housekeeper for directions, and learned that from the three-story stairs there was an entire open terrace.

The first and second floors are entertainment areas, and most of the guests are on these two floors.

However, after learning Ruan Ling's identity, the housekeeper respectfully led Ruan Ling to the stairs on the third floor.

"You go upstairs from here, and it's the terrace on the top floor."

Ruan Ling thanked the housekeeper and walked up the stairs.

The terrace on the top floor was much wider than she expected, with many plants, barbecue utensils, tables and chairs.

There's even a hot tub not far away, as well as a swing rocking chair.

Ruan Ling looked around, but didn't see anyone there.

After thinking about it, she walked over to the swing and sat down.

Ruan Ling closed her eyes first and felt the comfort of the cool summer breeze on her cheeks.

Then she folded her hands together and made a vow.

Ruan Ling muttered: "Since it is a begging festival, the little woman sincerely made a wish to the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to give me a few more handsome and beautiful men." ”！
