C261 Birthday present(2)

Only now did Ye ming Xin regain her senses, and then said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "I still need to thank you so much for helping me, Cousin Sis."

Although her interview result was the first, and logically speaking, she should have been the one to be hired, but without Chu Xiaoxiao, maybe she really would have missed this opportunity.

No matter what, she should still thank Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao scolded her on the other side of the phone: "We are sisters, why are you being polite with me?"

After she finished speaking, she unintentionally added another sentence. "However, it's also thanks to Qin Xu that he was willing to listen to me."

When Ye ming Xin heard this, she could not help but frown. A strange feeling that she could not understand rose in her heart.

However, at this moment, she was feeling sad for Qin Xu, who had almost destroyed her entry quota, so she didn't think too much about why she felt this was so strange.

On the other end, Chu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, and as if she had suddenly thought of something, she said: "Oh yeah, you wanted to ask me what kind of birthday present I, Qin Xu, like, am I right? Actually, Qin Xu grew up in the little gold and silver nest, and doesn't lack anything by his side. There's no need for you to give him anything too precious, but your intentions are a little more important.

"I've been with him for so long, and as far as I know, he doesn't seem to have any particular hobbies. The only time we saw an exhibition together, we found him quite fond of postmodern abstract paintings."

"Didn't he just have his own office now?" she suggested. "You could buy him a pair, just for his new office."

Originally, Ye ming Xin had called Chu Xiaoxiao excitedly to ask what kind of present she was going to give to Qin Xu.

But now, after she knew that she was completely insignificant to Qin Xu, her excitement immediately turned into absent-mindedness.

Therefore, she replied perfunctorily, "I understand. I'll hang up first."

Right now, she was filled with hesitation, and had no intention to continue the conversation with Chu Xiaoxiao.

Just as Ye ming Xin was about to hang up, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly called out to her: "Wait, I suddenly remember that Qin Xu likes to eat peanut butter cakes too. If you can make peanut butter cakes, I guarantee that she will like you and will be able to express your feelings by making one for him."

"Oh." Ye ming Xin replied sullenly and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she stared blankly at Qin Xu for a while. She felt wronged and sad for being insignificant to Qin Xu, and her eyes turned red.

She sometimes suspected that Qin Xu didn't really like her, and the reason he became her girlfriend was probably because they had gotten drunk together. She sometimes suspected that Qin Xu didn't really like her, and sometimes suspected that the reason he had become her girlfriend was because they had gotten along together.

These two thoughts played back and forth between them, and she was at a loss on what to do. When she was lying in bed at night, she was still feeling wronged about this matter, but she suddenly felt that she was overthinking it.

Finally, after tossing and turning on the bed for a while, Ye ming Xin finally believed that — even if it was just trying to deceive herself, she still chose to believe that Qin Xu definitely liked her.

The reason why he gave the entry quota to Qu Wanlu was definitely because of what his cousin said. Furthermore, his cousin also said that he regretted it after making the decision. If he was willing to correct his mistakes, that would mean that he was concerned about her …

After Ye ming Xin comforted herself for a while, her mood gradually became better.

No matter what, his priority right now was to prepare a birthday present for Qin Xu.

In the phone call with Chu Xiaoxiao, although Ye ming Xin was somewhat absent-minded due to being wronged, she still remembered what Qin Xu liked.

Abstract Art and Peanut Cake...

Although Cousin Chu Xiaoxiao's suggestion was not bad, but Ye ming Xin felt that giving her an abstract painting and a peanut cake wasn't really anything special — why not give her an abstract painting made from a peanut cake?

The moment this idea appeared in Ye ming Xin's mind, she felt that it was extremely wonderful. This peanut cake was both delicious and beautiful, he guaranteed that Qin Xu would not forget about it with every bite.

The more Ye ming Xin thought about it, the more impatient she became to quickly put this idea into action.

However, what she didn't know was that Qin Xu was allergic to peanuts, he had eaten by mistake once when he was young, and he almost passed out from shock on the spot …

Seeing that Qin Xu's birthday was approaching by the day, Ye ming Xin started to implement her birthday present plan.

The method for making peanut butter cake was very simple. Although her culinary skills were average, she had done it a few times before and the final product was quite good.

But to paint on a peanut butter cake was very difficult.

Before Ye ming Xin cooked the peanut cake, she used the food color on it to draw. However, after it was done, because of the fermentation process, the finished product was always different from the original product.

In the end, Ye ming Xin could only choose an abstract painting that had relatively simple colors. After staying up for two nights in a row and producing countless defective products, it was finally time for Qin Xu's birthday to produce a finished product that she was satisfied with …

The day of Qin Xu's birthday just happened to be a weekend, and his birthday party was set for the night, in an empty villa in the Qin family.

Ye ming Xin was very glad that she still had more than two hours of time to catch up on her sleep.

She wrapped the peanut cake in a gift box and quickly lay down on the bed.

Two hours later, she was woken by the alarm clock, hastily put on makeup, heavily covered her dark circles, and set off with the gift box.

Although Ye ming Xin only slept for two hours, when she thought about the special day that had happened today, she quickly became spirited once again.

Ye ming Xin took a taxi and rushed over. Originally, Qin Xu wanted to come personally to pick her up, but she rejected him on the spot. The matter of the two of them being in love had not been made public, so it would not make sense for Qin Xu to come personally to pick her up.

However, as soon as she got out of the car, she was led to the villa by a waiter who was waiting at the intersection.

Ye ming Xin had arrived quite early, and at the moment, there were already a lot of people at the banquet, and along with the music, it was already becoming more and more lively.

The waiter had probably received Qin Xu's orders in advance, so he immediately led the way, bringing Ye ming Xin straight to Qin Xu.

Qin Xu was talking to a few of his friends. Originally, Ye ming Xin wanted to wait for them to finish before walking over, but who knew that after Qin Xu discovered her, he would quickly say goodbye to his friends and walk in front of Ye ming Xin.

When Ye ming Xin saw him circle around the crowd and walk towards her, her heart started beating faster. All the doubts and complaints she had towards her previously disappeared in an instant.

She passed the box in her hands to Qin Xu and said, "This is your birthday present."

Qin Xu received the gift in hand and thanked her. Then, he bent down slightly and whispered into Ye ming Xin's ear, "I also have a present for you today, but I can't tell you right now."

Feeling the breath that Qin Xu was exhaling, Ye ming Xin couldn't help but blush slightly, and said: "It's your birthday, not mine, how can you give me a present?"

Qin Xu said: "If I want to give my girlfriend a present, do I have to choose a festival?"

Hearing the words "girlfriend", Ye ming Xin couldn't help but open her eyes wide in shock. She then looked around in panic and vigilance, afraid that someone else would hear him accidentally.

Fortunately, the hall was bustling and music was playing. Qin Xu's voice was not loud so no one paid attention to the two of them. Only then did Ye ming Xin heave a sigh of relief.

Looking at her frightened expression, Qin Xu suddenly thought of the slightly furious little cat. He couldn't help but chuckle, wanting to continue to tease her.

But just at that moment, someone from not too far away suddenly called out to Qin Xu, interrupting the conversation between Qin Xu and himself.

Qin Xu and Ye ming Xin subconsciously turned their heads towards the direction of the voice.

The one who called Qin Xu was Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao saw that Qin Xu and Yue Shuang were looking at her, so she nodded to Ye ming Xin first before turning to Qin Xu and gesturing for him to follow her.

Because the last time Chu Xiaoxiao planned for his birthday party, he had also planned out the confessions of the two people. Therefore, when it was his birthday, Chu Xiaoxiao and Qin Chengqi took the initiative to take over and prepare his birthday banquet.

So when Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly called him, he subconsciously thought that there was a problem with the arrangement of the banquet and wanted to discuss it with him.

Therefore, Qin Xu looked at Ye ming Xin apologetically and said to her: "I'm sorry, it might be because something happened at the banquet, I'll go and take a look first. You can stay by yourself for a while, or go and stay in the resting room on the second floor.

"Yes." Ye ming Xin nodded in understanding.

Seeing her obedient nod, Qin Xu felt as if his heart was scratched by a little kitten. If not for the crowd, he would have pinched her small nose.

However, Qin Xu did not realize that, from his current point of view, Ye ming Xin looked almost exactly the same as him, but he had already stopped caring about all these for quite a while.

While speaking, Qin Xu held onto the gift that Ye ming Xin had given him and walked towards Chu Xiaoxiao.

In the end, he stopped at a place half a meter away from Chu Xiaoxiao and intentionally distanced himself from her by a little. Then, he asked her: "Are you looking for me because something happened at the banquet?"

"Nothing happened." Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the distance between the two of them, and as usual, she gave him a natural and gentle smile, and explained, "Yes, Cheng Qi wanted to tell you something, he's waiting for you in the resting room on the second floor."

"My brother?" Qin Xu raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll go up and take a look."

With that, he walked past Chu Xiaoxiao and headed towards the stairs behind her.

But when Qin Xu was passing by, he was suddenly stopped by Chu Xiaoxiao.

"Wait, what's that thing in your hand?" Chu Xiaoxiao frowned as she stared at the box in her hands vigilantly.

She had the look on her face now, as if the gift box contained not a gift but a time bomb.
