After the meal, Xia Xiaoling went straight back to the company.

"Ai, what's the matter this morning?" As soon as she arrived at the company, she went straight to work.

"No, but Director Lin came by this morning." "

"Lin Hao?" Xia Xiaoxiao was a bit confused, "What's the matter?" "

"No, I only said that I would come back to see you in the future. Do you want me to inform Boss Lin about your return?" "

"No need, then go back to work." After saying that, Xia Xiaoling picked up her phone. Big brother Hao, did you come to the company looking for me for something? "

Lin Hao was very excited when he received Xia Xiaoling's call. He said, "Xiaoling, there's nothing wrong. I just want to invite you to have a meal with Jiang Lei."

Eating, why did he suddenly think of calling the two of them over for no reason at all? Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the calendar on the table. It was the seventh day of October. She slapped her forehead and said, "Brother Hao, today is your birthday. Sorry, I forgot."

Hearing that his little sister still remembered his birthday, Lin Hao felt a surge of warmth in his heart. "It's okay, I didn't pay too much attention to my own birthday. Let's just have a simple meal."

"Yes, yes. What time is it?" Although Xi Mu City was still a taboo in her heart, she still happily agreed when she thought of how Lin Hao had come back from overseas just to celebrate her coming of age.

"How about 7 PM? I'll go to your company to pick you up."

"Alright!"

"YES!" Hearing Xia Xiaowang agree to him, Lin Hao gave a thumbs up in his heart.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Xiaoxiao recalled the previous two lessons. Xi Mu City was so petty, this time she definitely could not let him find out. Thus, she thought of a foolproof plan.

"Hey, are you busy tonight?" The tender sound made people's hair stand on end.

"There's a social gathering. What's the matter?" On the other end of the line, Xi Mu Cheng was cold.

"Ah, what a coincidence. I even wanted you to accompany me to do something. Since you're busy, then forget it."

"What is it? I can just decline the social meetup."

Does the CEO need to be so serious? I was just joking around, "No … "No need, I was just acting like a spoiled child, there's no need to take it seriously, I have to go on a blind date with Jiang Lei tonight!"

"A blind date? So soon for a blind date?" Xi Mu City didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

That's right, that's why I'll be back a while later. You also happen to have a date, so you won't be lonely. Bye bye." With his objective achieved, Xia Xiaoxiao quickly hung up the phone with a complacent expression. Only she could think of such a fresh and refined method of taking a leave of absence! He was at the party at night. Haha, don't worry.

He happily sat on the swivel chair and turned around. Then, he began to work peacefully.

The company's income was not bad, and he had to thank the partners that helped him during this period of time. Xia Xiaowang opened his wallet and started calling them one by one to express his gratitude. Director Wang, Director Zhao … Finally, his line of sight landed on a saved cell phone number. Lawyer Zhang... It looked like she had something important to do.

The sky gradually darkened and the phone also rang, "Xiao Wen, I'm here. Let's go downstairs!"

Xia Xiaoling cleaned up the office and went downstairs. She looked towards the car, but there was no Jiang Lei, "Brother Hao, why didn't Jiang Lei come with you?"

"Oh, she said she was feeling a little unwell so she went back first."

"What, is she sick? Is it serious? I'll call her. " Hearing that her best friend was sick, Xia Xiaowang became extremely anxious. She took out her cellphone from her bag and was about to call Jiang Lei.

Lin Hao promptly stopped Xia Xiaoling from dialing. "It's alright. It seems like it's a period of rest, so don't ask." Lin Hao feigned an awkward expression.

"Oh, my baby." She remembered that Jiang Lei did indeed have dysmenorrhea, and it always hurt her to death. However, today was Lin Hao's birthday, and although she was very worried, it wasn't good for her to leave and take care of Jiang Lei.

Xia Xiaoxiao had been worried about Jiang Lei at the table. She was afraid that she was in so much pain that she couldn't even move right now. If only she had cooked a bowl of hot red date porridge for Jiang Lei, then it would have been great.

"Er Lei, does it hurt so much, do you want me to take care of you?"

"Ding …" His phone rang. Xia Xiaoling took out her phone and read Jiang Lei's reply, "I didn't come to auntie, why are you asking me this?"

Xia Xiaoxiao was a bit doubtful, but she didn't say anything. In order to not disturb Lin Hao's birthday, she could only secretly reply with a text message, "Isn't it dysmenorrhea? Then, where are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Not long later, Jiang Lei called.

Looking at the brightly lit cell phone screen, Xia Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty. She smiled and said to Lin Hao, "I'll go pick up a call." As he spoke, he took his phone and walked away.

"Hey, Little Warm, what's wrong? Why are you always asking me where I'm feeling unwell? Curse me!" The voice on the other side was loud and did not sound weak at all.

"Are you not sick? Then why haven't you come today?"

"Where to? I'm watching TV at home. " Jiang Lei's tone sounded as if she didn't know anything.

Xia Xiaowang also guessed it right away. She was afraid Jiang Lei would misunderstand, so she didn't tell her about the matter of giving Lin Hao a birthday, "It's okay, it's my mistake. I still have things to do, so I'm hanging up!"

Xia Xiaoling walked back while pondering, "What the hell is going on? It seems like Jiang Lei doesn't know about Brother Hao's birthday. Could he have lied to me?"

Returning to her seat, Xia Xiaoxiao's expression was a little dazed. She stared at the dishes that had already been served and did not pick them up. This did not suit her as a foodie.

"Xiao Wen, what happened to you?" Lin Hao looked at the Xia Xiaoling who was in a daze, and waved his hand in front of her face.

Xia Xiaowang snapped out of her daze and looked at Lin Hao, "Brother Hao, you're not called Jiang Lei at all, right?" The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. Why did Lin Hao lie? Thus, she directly asked him.

Lin Hao didn't know how to respond to Xia Xiaowang's sudden question. "No, she really doesn't feel well today."

"Don't lie to me, it was Jiang Lei who called just now. Nothing happened to her at all." Xia Xiaoxiao could not understand what was going on, and she suddenly felt a little angry.

Lin Hao looked at Xia Xiaoling's changed expression, then gripped her hand, which had been clenched into a small fist, on the tabletop. "Xiaoling, listen to me. I'm not called Jiang Lei, because I just want to spend my birthday alone with you, and I don't want anyone to disturb me."

After hearing this, Xia Xiaoling found it a little funny. "Then just tell me directly, how am I supposed to tell Jiang Lei that it's just the two of us!"
