She must have been sleeping soundly. She did not think much as she walked into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves and put on her apron, blocking Aunt Gui's hands as she politely said: "Aunt Gui, you have been quite busy all this while, and I have not really helped much. How about you take a rest today, and let me come?"
Aunt Gui was a simple and honest person, she gently touched her blue hands, "Don't be polite with me, I've been doing this for more than ten years, and I'm already used to it. I don't think there's anything special about it, so I can't stay idle for a moment longer.
She smiled embarrassedly at Aunt Gui, "No, it's just that today is Rong Hao's birthday. I want to make breakfast for him to eat at work, so stop delaying me like this, I'm sorry about that."
Aunt Gui saw through her thoughts and smiled understandingly, "You youngsters are just like this. If there's anything that you like to beat around the bush, then we of the older generation will definitely not understand."
Just as she was about to speak up, Aunt Gui considerately pulled on her hand. "Quickly go take a look at the porridge, I want to look at the flowers raised outside, but I haven't had the time to look at them, otherwise, when they wither up, it'll be a disaster."
Only then did she realize that the porridge behind her was boiling. She panicked and turned off the heat, allowing the porridge to simmer slowly.
While watching the porridge, he washed the dishes and cooked a dish that he liked. As he cooked, a smile always hung on his face, as if as long as he could do something for her, she would feel very happy.
When he walked into the bedroom on the second floor, he was anxious and nervous. When he walked in, he saw that was still lying on the bed and had not woken up, he felt that it was a little strange. Previously, if she had woken up, he would probably come downstairs at the slowest time before Aunt Gui could prepare breakfast. Was it because she wanted to sleep longer on her birthday?
Shen Lan walked to his side and softly called out his name. After a few more times, he opened his eyes and looked very tired. She looked at him worriedly, "What's wrong? Is it because I'm feeling unwell? "
He didn't reply to her question. She became even more worried and nervously asked again, "Do you want me to call the doctor to have a look? It might be better if you take some medicine."
He got off the bed and put on his shoes. He helplessly looked at her, turned around, and then said, "I'm fine. Don't think you're being smart anymore." After saying that, he walked into the washroom.
After hearing his words, Zhanlan was stunned for a moment before feeling a bit self-righteous. He walked to the door of the washroom and said, "I made breakfast for you. You can go downstairs to eat breakfast once you're done."
Just as azure blue was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to have thought of something and turned around. He took a deep breath and said, "Also, happy birthday." When Jiang Rong Hao, who was washing his face and rinsing his mouth, heard her words, his body trembled. He waited at the door but didn't receive any response. He didn't want to annoy him, so he went downstairs.
After Shen Lan went downstairs to tidy up some things, Xiao Yin had also woken up and walked out of the living room. When Shen Lan saw Xiao Yin, she took the opportunity to take a look at the time and looked at her in disbelief, "Today is a good day, but Xiao Yin, you actually came earlier than usual." No matter how Aunt Gui called for her, she just wouldn't get up. Only when she was almost late did she quickly get up and wash up, then get on the bus to the company.
Jiang Xiaoyin turned in a circle in front of Shen Lan, and then, after smoothing her hair, she looked at her with an excitement that was hard to hide, "Sister-in-law, isn't today Big Brother's birthday? Then, wouldn't I have to call Kai Fan to come participate? After saying this series of words, she smiled confidently at azure blue.
Just by looking at her headdress and attire, one could tell that she had spent an unknown amount of time in the closet last night. However, her taste was really good, and she couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yin, today is really very beautiful."
Jiang Xiaoyin held her hand tightly, "Sister-in-law, you really have good eyes. My brother has a wife like you, it's practically his fortune, do you know?"
Jiang Xiaoyin was extremely excited, as a cold voice came out from behind her. She then coughed lightly, "Xiao Yin, let me praise you a little, why are you hurting me like this?"
Jiang Xiaoyin looked at his doubtful gaze with a face full of disdain, and confidently and confidently looked at him: "What I said was the truth. Sister-in-law is so nice, making breakfast for you so early in the morning and even making so many dishes for you, what's wrong with that?"
He looked at Xiao Yin and smiled, "Don't talk so much, I'm not as good as you make me out to be."
She looked at who was beside her: "It's time to eat. When I woke up this morning, I had already cooked a few dishes and gave it a try."
As they sat around the table, Jiang Xiaoyin drank her porridge and looked at the blue sky with a weird gaze. Occasionally, when their gazes met, she would give her a naughty smile, causing the blue sky to feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Rong Hao didn't seem to have any appetite. He just ate a few bites, then put down the bowl and stood up. He took his jacket and said to them lightly, "I'm going to work, you guys continue eating."
She originally wanted to ask him to eat a little more, but he only ate a few mouthfuls from a bowl of porridge. Suddenly, she felt very depressed, and even while drinking the porridge, she felt that there was no taste in the porridge, no appetite at all. Her gaze stayed on the door for a long time before she finally let out a helpless sigh.
However, his mood had always been volatile and his personality had always been depressing. She had never been able to understand what he had been thinking.
Jiang Xiaoyin looked at her absent-minded after eating, and naughtily looked at her. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Usually, when big brother goes to work, he doesn't see how you look so reluctant to part with him, do you really miss big brother too much? When you think about leaving big brother, aren't you extremely reluctant to part with him?"
Normally, she would have laughed heartily with him, but today, she really wasn't in the mood to joke with him. Looking at his expression, she only ate a few mouthfuls of porridge. She didn't know if he didn't like what she was doing, but she looked at the wall in confusion.
Seeing that she did not say a word, Jiang Xiaoyin immediately stopped joking around and looked worriedly at Cang Lan, "Sister-in-law, you and my brother couldn't be quarreling, right? Why do I feel that both of your expressions aren't right?"
He just couldn't think of a reason, so he shook his head towards Jiang Xiaoyin, "He probably didn't. We didn't argue about anything, furthermore, it's his birthday today, so there shouldn't be anything that's unhappy about it."
The two of them stayed on the dining table for a long time. Aunt Gui walked in and looked at the time, then smiled at Xiao Yin: "Xiao Yin, today is your brother's birthday, aren't you going to work anymore?"
He reached out his hand in a hurry to check the time. There were only ten minutes before he would be late, so he immediately threw down the bread. Then, he grabbed the bag that was on the chair and ran over to the shoe cabinet.
He told Aunt Gui to call the driver for her. Before Xiao Yin left, he kept reminding her in his ears, "You have to call your boyfriend back for dinner tonight, okay? "Don't forget."
"Alright, alright, I got it. I'm going to work." Only now did she once again realize how desolate it was to not have a sense of time. She opened her bag to see the present she bought for Lin Qifan yesterday, and after looking at her slightly smiling face, she felt embarrassed and lowered her head when she thought about giving it to him later on.
When they arrived at the company, there were people pointing their fingers at her. Everyone who walked past the office shot her weird looks. When they saw Lulu greeting her, she acted like she didn't care at all. She really didn't know what was wrong with her. She had always worked like this, so she didn't think it was strange before.
She walked into the office weirdly, not in the mood to bother with Lin Qifan, giving him any presents or anything like that. She sat there in her seat the whole morning, not thinking clearly about what was going on, and the way they looked at her was really weird.
"Where are you going?" Lin Qifan saw that she had been thinking this entire morning, so she was not as lively as she was usually. Right now, she did not say a word and wanted to open the door to go out.
"I need to go to the toilet." Jiang Xiaoyin spoke in a listless voice.
Lin Qifan looked at her a little embarrassedly. Seeing that she had not been in a good mood, he asked curiously: "What happened to you today? Why are you so dispirited when you came to the company? "Or do you not want to work anymore …"
How could Jiang Xiaoyin have the mood to bullshit with him? She replied him with a perfunctory reply: "I'm fine, it's just that I got tired after staying up all night yesterday."
Lin Qifan looked at her suspiciously. She didn't care about him, she only cared about herself as she walked step by step to the bathroom, stopping on the toilet at the same time. Just when she wanted to go out to receive a message, she took out her phone and opened it.
"How can that Jiang Xiaoyin be so capable? We've been in the company for so many years and we haven't even seen the general manager look at us. How did she get settled by the general manager the moment she arrived?" A woman's gossipy voice came from the bathroom.
"Don't be so loud, it would be bad if others could hear you." The woman's voice sounded again.
"What are you afraid of? Because you were shooting a movie, the person in question just happened to be in the toilet, listening to our discussion."
"That's true. I think she was very good at that and also had the opportunity to get close to the general manager. Men are all lustful and then they took the bait."
"No wonder her tag bag changes every day, her clothes are the same, I haven't even seen her wear a heavy one yet."
"General Manager, there's so much money. Even if you buy the entire store for her, it's fine if you change it every day. Let's see if you have the ability to do so."
"You're right."
… ….
… ….
… ….
Only then did Jiang Xiaoyin dejectedly turn the handle and walked out. After washing her hands, she looked at her own reflection in the mirror, it was indeed pretty, but I am not the kind of person you think I am, I only have a rich older brother.
As long as she thought about it, she felt like she had no ability at all. She was born with a golden key, and if she wasn't, she wouldn't even be able to earn money to buy clothes. The more she thought about it, the more depraved she became.
Back at the office, she sat in a daze. Even if she had a phone call, she liked to listen. Whatever the customer asked, she would not listen.
Until lunchtime, she had no idea that she would usually be so excited at this time. She had always believed that work was only secondary, and that eating was the way to go.
Lin Qifan worriedly walked in front of her and pulled her to the sofa to sit down. He patted her head and smiled: "Today, you are exceptionally pretty."
"Thank you." She had always looked so sick that those who didn't know it would think she was seriously ill.
Lin Qifan nervously hugged her, his tone filled with worry, "Xiao Yin, did something happen? Tell me, I was always by your side."
Seeing him act this way, Xiao Yin felt even more helpless, and wanted to struggle free from her embrace. "I'm fine, I'm really fine, I've already said it many times."
Lin Qifan released her, "Why are you like this all day if you have nothing better to do? If you dislike me going to work everyday, and don't have time to accompany you out and play."
Xiao Yin decided on his words: "I didn't mean it that way, it's just that today it's very strange, when I go to work everyone looked at me as if I'm a weirdo, I got depressed in the morning because of this, I just went to the toilet and found out why, they said that I climbed up to you, and said that I change my famous brand every day, it's because of you, the more I thought about it, the more sad I got, if I didn't have my brother's peace, then I wouldn't even be able to carry my bag and can't be able to wear clothes, if I wasn't born with a key in my mouth, my life would be different now."
When Lin Qifan understood what was going on, he held Xiao Yin's body tightly and looked at her seriously: "You don't need it, you don't need to be smart or hardworking, because you have me."
When Jiang Xiaoyin heard his earnest words, it was as if his heart was smeared with honey. It was extremely sweet and joyful as he reached his hand out to pinch his face, his mood suddenly changed from lost to excited and happy, "Chou Shitou, where did you learn all this sweet talk, I'll tell you everything you've said to so many people before."
Lin Qifan carried her onto his body, buried his head into her neck, and his magnetic voice rang out beside her ears: "You are the first, and also the last of these words. Just obediently stay by your side."
Seeing him act this way, Jiang Xiaoyin took the chance when he couldn't see it, and forced himself not to laugh out loud. He reached out to hug his body, "Believe me, this time, since you're so obedient, I can only reward you a bit."
Lin Qifan smiled mischievously as he raised his head, "Do you want to repay me with your body? I will be at a disadvantage. Come on."
Jiang Xiaoyin's fist struck the back of his head as he pouted and pretended to be angry: "You bad stone, your rogue look hasn't changed after so many years." After saying that, she pushed him away and stood up, walked over to her seat and opened her bag, "This is the present my sister-in-law and I went to buy for my brother yesterday, I bought it for you on the way, I just randomly picked it."
After she took it, she walked in front of him and handed it to him. "Take it. It's not a good thing."
Lin Qifan saw that she still looked like a little kid, she always said things that were different from her heart, and it seemed like she still hadn't changed after so many years. It seemed that she had lived quite well, the last time he took the things in her hands was when she gave them to him, was ten years ago.
"Yin Yin, how about we go watch a movie today?" The two sat on the chairs in the park, Lin Qifan suddenly said to Jiang Xiaoyin.
Jiang Xiaoyin smiled and nodded at him, then said to him sweetly, "Alright, recently there is a movie star that I like about making new movies. Let's go watch it."
She stood up and signaled for him to leave right away. Lin Qifan's movements were a bit slow, not jumping around as lively as he usually did, staring at other places as if he had something on his mind.
Jiang Xiaoyin saw that he was in a strange mood, and nudged his body with her hand, "Shitou, why are you so low on spirit today, are you in a bad mood?" After saying so, she continued to stare at him. He seemed to have lost his patience as he threw out a sentence and walked away, "You're so annoying."
Jiang Xiaoyin was stunned where she was. At that time, she didn't have any friends, she only had him to play around with and her brother had to learn. She had always been bored and wanted to go outside to play, hence she only had him as her friend.
He might have felt something was wrong as he turned around to look at her, but she was still standing there. He suddenly felt very guilty, after all, she had been pampered since she was young, so she walked back to her side, "Let's go, watching movies by herself is meaningless."
She smiled at him and nodded, then caught up with him and they went into the cinema together to watch the movie.
took out an exquisite gift box from his bag that he carried around with him, and passed it to him: "Stone, today is your birthday, this is the gift I prepared for you, you don't need to think too much about it, you just accept it."
It was a limited edition Transformer. When he saw it, he was extremely excited and even kissed Jiang Xiaoyin on the cheek: "Yin Yin, how did you know I always wanted this? Thank you so much, I must have put in a lot of effort."
After being kissed by him, Jiang Xiaoyin's face had still been flushed from head to toe, and she didn't know what to say. It was just a casual... I bought it on the street. "
Of course Lin Qifan believed her, but he found out later on that she had spent so much effort to buy that thing that her phone was almost going to explode. She still had not found it, and in the end she managed to get it from the auction on the internet.
As Lin Qifan held the gift, scenes of the past surfaced in his mind. It was really good at that time, they could play together everyday, playing with each other as they pleased, there was no need to think too much about it.
He suddenly stood up, tightly hugged her in his embrace, and hugged her without moving. Looking at him, she felt a little panicked, and put her arm around his waist, "What's wrong? Why don't you open it and see what it is? You used to like to just open it and take a look. "
He let go of her and kissed her on the cheek. He picked up the gift from the table, opened the box, and saw a blue tie. He took it out and placed it in her hand.
Jiang Xiaoyin took the tie, and sweetly complained: "Chou Shitou." He tore off his tie and focused on helping to tie it. Just as he was about to tie his tie, a female staff member barged in. "General Manager, we've succeeded in a cooperation proposal." After seeing their postures, the originally joyful voices gradually calmed down.
She didn't believe the rumors outside at all, but now it seemed to be true. If it wasn't a big battle, then it was the end of it, and she herself entered the room, it must be a disappointment. Looking at Jiang Xiaoyin's shocked expression, she knew that she couldn't stay in the company any longer.
Lin Qifan's face was extremely ugly, he roared at her: "Is there anything else?"
The female employee lowered her head in panic and answered haltingly, "No, no, nothing's wrong."
"Didn't your boss tell you to knock before you came in?" Lin Qifan looked at her with a complicated expression. She was close to tears from his gaze, and sure enough, one could not judge a person by his appearance, and did not think that Gao Fujun would fall in love with him just because of that, he was not someone to be trifled with. "No, I saw that you worked overtime for this project, and I think you will be very happy when you get to know of it.
"Go down and call your boss over." Lin Qifan's voice was filled with impatience and helplessness.
The female employee stood there motionlessly as she spoke, choked with emotions, "General Manager, I beg of you, please don't fire me. I finally managed to get into this company, I still have mortgage payments and car loans, a lot of them."
Just as Lin Qifan was about to speak, Jiang Xiaoyin did not seem to be able to continue, although it was a very normal thing to do, but she still felt that it was human nature for people to do this, "Why are you like this, she did not do it on purpose, so what if it is, she just came to tell you some good news?
