“Well, say whatever you want! By next Friday’s press conference, you’ll know.”
The elevator doors opened, and Ye Mengyan exited.
I was in a daze, watching the elevator doors close and slowly ascend.
I didn’t know how long it took before I regained my senses.
“Miss Song, you’ve been up and down this elevator three times, what’s going on?”
Xu Yun noticed my unusual behavior and reminded me.
“Oh, I was just deep in thought!”
“Miss Song, have you been working too hard lately? You need to take care of yourself, especially now that the company’s performance is improving.”
“I’m fine, thank you for your concern!”
After leaving the elevator, I realized that it was already dark outside.
Looking at my watch, it was almost six o’clock.
Then I remembered that Wenya had invited me to dinner.
I actually didn’t feel like going out tonight.
So, I sent her a text message.
“Let’s not go tonight.”
“Ding Yinuo is here, he said the results of the medicine you sent last time have come out.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
“Lijiang Restaurant, box number 9, see you there!”
The medicine was something I had found at Aunt Wu Lijuan’s house last time, and I had asked Ding Yinuo to have it tested for me.
It seems the results are out now.
Without hesitation, I drove straight to the restaurant.
Half an hour later, I arrived at the Lijiang Restaurant that Wenya had booked.
It was my first time visiting this charming waterfront restaurant.
It was a large ship docked by the river, beautifully lit and quite novel. After boarding the ship, I arrived at the door of the number 9 box.
The door of the box was interesting, with a large carp carved out of wood.
After knocking for a while with no answer, I reached out and pushed the door open.
Surprisingly, the room was completely dark and empty.
While I was standing there baffled, suddenly the lights came on.
It was candlelight.
A candle on a cake, gently pushed towards me.
The person holding the cake was Wenya.
“Make a wish!”
“Eh… my birthday was yesterday!”
“That’s okay, it’s the same thing. I went on a business trip to Haicheng yesterday and just came back today, let’s consider it a belated celebration.”
“Alright!”
Making a wish was just a formality, after I blew out the candles, everyone started singing the birthday song.
Afterwards, the lights in the room came on.
I then realized that there were quite a few people in the room.
In addition to Wenya, there were also Ding Yinuo and Su Peisheng. Well, birthdays should be lively.
Everyone drinking and singing together added to the atmosphere.
“Come, birthday girl, sit here!”
Wenya put a birthday hat on me and arranged for me to sit next to Ding Yinuo.
I didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down directly after putting down my bag.
Whether I slipped or someone pushed me, I lost my balance and fell into Ding Yinuo’s arms.
I thought he would push me away, but to my surprise, he put his arm around my waist and held me in his arms.
Unexpectedly, Wenya laughed and clapped her hands, shouting,
“Kiss her, kiss her, give the birthday girl a kiss.”
Ding Yinuo smiled at me, curling his lips, pretending to kiss me.
I put my hand on his lips, “Don’t mess around!”
Ding Yinuo looked particularly handsome tonight.
He was wearing a light purple shirt, and under the light, his features were exquisite, with passion in his eyes.
Especially at this moment when he looked at me, he seemed to show a touch of tenderness.
And he held me in his arms, reluctant to let me go for a long time.
“Wenya, don’t stir things up!”
“Ha ha ha, it’s a birthday party, it should be exciting, otherwise it’s no different from ordinary days, and that would be too boring.”
Wenya seemed a bit quirky tonight.
I finally extricated myself from Ding Yinuo’s arms,
“If you want excitement, dare you kiss Su Peisheng?”
Wenya giggled, “What’s there to be afraid of! At worst, I’ll just have to brush my teeth a few more times when I get home!”
I put down my bag and looked at Jian Jing.
After getting married, Jian Jing seemed to have become silent for a long time. She sat quietly in the corner, smiling at me without saying a word.
I have been busy recently and have not been in touch with Jian Jing.
It must be because of my birthday that she came to the party despite her pregnancy.
“Jian Jing, why didn’t you bring your husband to join us?”
“He, uh … never mind!”
“Give him a call, invite him to dinner! After all, the more people there are at a birthday party, the more lively it is.”
Jian Jing waved her hand,
“No need! He’s busy!”
However, Wenya ruthlessly exposed her,
“Busy with what! Didn’t he just lose his job?”
“Unemployed? How are you going to take care of your mortgage?”
I asked casually, and Jian Jing sighed.
“I’m paying it!”
“Your husband is really unreliable. You’re heavily pregnant and due in a few months, how could he dare to quit his job? Who gave him that courage?”
Jian Jing seemed at a loss for words until Wenya squeezed my hand, signaling me to stop asking.
Only then did I quickly change the subject,
“Forget it, everyone’s here to have fun today. Let’s not discuss these frustrating matters. Jian Jing, eat up, have a bit more tonight!”
“Alright!”
After chatting for a while, Wenya picked up a pair of dice and shook them.
“Let’s play ‘Truth or Dare’!”
“Okay! Just don’t back out later!”
“We’ll go by the highest number! The smallest number loses! The winner makes a request!”
“Okay!”
After setting the rules, we started rolling the dice, taking turns one by one.
In the first round, Su Peisheng lost. His two dice only totaled two points, while the highest score, sixteen points, belonged to Wenya.
Before Wenya could speak, Su Peisheng volunteered, “Let’s play ‘Dare’! I don’t mind giving you a kiss.”
Wenya rolled her eyes, “Who wants your kisses! You… want to play ‘Dare’, huh! Go dance on that pole.”
“Okay, I’ll do it!”
Su Peisheng got up, took off his jacket, and literally went to the pole and started dancing. His suggestive moves made everyone laugh.
Everyone in the room laughed out loud. Wenya calmly recorded the whole process on her phone.
In the second round, Ding Yinuo lost. His two dice only totaled three points! The winner was still Wenya.
Wenya smiled slyly and winked at him,
“Let’s play ‘Dare’! It’ll be really exciting!”
Ding Yinuo looked at me with his bewitching eyes, thought for a while before saying,
“I’d rather play ‘Truth’!”
“Okay, okay, we’ll play ‘Truth’! I’ll ask you a question, you better answer it honestly.”
“Okay!”
While the two of them were asking questions, I lowered my head to eat the cake, secretly glanced at my phone, and saw that Gu Yuanzhou had sent me a text message.
It took Wenya a long time to ask, “Who is the woman you like the most?”
