CH 11.2

“Sister!” Luo Yu’s voice came from outside the door.

Luo Qi took off her apron and went to open the door.

“Guess what I brought you?”

“Are you making dessert again?”

“I have been poisoned by baking recently, and my hands itch if I don’t do it for a day.”

Luo Yu pushed her elbow against the door, and Luo Qi took the bag which contained meat floss bread and a small box of cranberry biscuits.

“You put the meat floss bread in the refrigerator for breakfast tomorrow.” Luo Yu took off her coat, threw it on the sofa, and sat on the carpet in front of the sofa, looking around the living room, “It’s so clean, have you cleaned it again?”

“Umm, I was feeling idle.”

Luo Qi put the bread in the refrigerator and washed two apples. She’s been trying to lose weight recently so that she will look good in her wedding dress.

An apple was given to my cousin, then she also sat on the floor.

The two leaned back against the sofa, chatting while eating.

Luo Qi squeezed her cousin’s arm, “It seems kneading dough every day makes the flesh tighter.”

Luo Yu was ticklish, so she smiled and pushed her cousin away, “Don’t touch me randomly ah. Sister, where are you going to eat on your birthday? I’ll treat you.”

Over the past few years, Luo Qi has learned how to cook, “I’ll just eat at home and buy some groceries and cook.”

“Okay, we’ll do as you say. I’ll cook. I’ll bake the cake, too.”

Luo Yu obeyed her cousin in everything, and there were only these small things she could do for her cousin. When she was a child, her family’s conditions were average, and her parents had to raise her and her brother Luo Xin, these twins, which was very difficult.

At that time, Luo Qi’s family was well-off, and her second aunt would buy her and Luo Xin new clothes and all kinds of expensive toys every year, for birthdays and Chinese New Year.

Her cousin also secretly saved half of the pocket money for her and Luo Xin.

She remembered everything.

“If Heartless hadn’t been busy recently, he would also like to come and celebrate with the two of us.”

Luo Qi poked her on the forehead, “Call him ‘brother’ from now on, don’t keep calling him ‘Heartless.’ Luo Xin is already an adult, do you want him to lose face?”

Luo Yu was not convinced. “He is only a few minutes older than me, maybe I was the older sister, and he used his strength to push me aside in our mother’s womb and ran out first.”

Luo Qi: “…”

She really couldn’t laugh or cry.

She didn’t know if every pair of dragon and phoenix twins grew up like them, bickering from a young age.

At eight o’clock, Luo Yu received a message from Luo Xin: [My visa was not issued.] It’s inconvenient to call him back while at their cousin’s place, so Luo Yu went back to her place early.

When she got downstairs from the apartment, Luo Yu called Luo Xin.

“What happened?”

Luo Xin: “What else can happen, the visa was denied.”

“I just want to know what dogs and men are doing abroad! Why is it so difficult?! My sister has been with him for so many years and they’re about to get married. How could he do this!” Luo Yu stood under the streetlight and couldn’t walk another step. She suddenly had no strength.

“Luo Yu, don’t be angry at me for a moment, what would I do even if I go to see them?”

“Take pictures of them and throw the evidence in their faces! I also have a reason to fight Cui Peng, see if I can’t kill her! She has disgusted me in the circle of friends for so long. She’s been deliberately provoking me to see if I’ll tell my sister, I really can’t swallow this!”

Luo Xi said, “When they return to the country, then I will take pictures for evidence. I don’t believe I won’t be able to.”

He struggled again, “But Luo Yu, have you thought this through? Our sister has been looking forward to this wedding for so long. Everyone knows that she is going to get married soon. After the photo is taken, will you tell our sister or not?”

“I don’t know.” Her words were contradictory, “I hope my sister is happy, but I don’t want her and Pei Shixiao to stay together.”

There was a long silence on the phone after that.

… … Seventh Year of My Secret Love for You by Maela @ whitemoonlighttranslations.com

Two days before her birthday, Luo Qi received a call from Jiang Sixun, asking her if she was free that night to have dinner together, saying that Vice President Li Rui would also be there.

Luo Qi thought they were going to talk about business, so she agreed.

When she arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Sixun and Li Rui were already waiting for her.

Jiang Sixun’s dressing style was the same as before—today he was wearing a dazzling, rose red shirt.

He himself was a walking hanger, and he could control any color. No matter how exaggerated the clothes were on him, they could be worn with seven points coquettishness and three points extravagance.

The only ‘normal’ shirt colors in his wardrobe were black and dark blue, which were only worn for formal, business occasions. Too many women chased him when he wore black shirts, so if he didn’t need to wear them, then he didn’t wear them.

Luo Qi approached and joked, “This color is so festive ah.”

“I still have even more festive clothes, but I didn’t dare to wear them, for fear of angering my third uncle.”

Luo Qi was fortunate enough to have met the ‘third uncle’ that Jiang Sixun was talking about before, that is, Jiang Shenghe’s father. She had fully felt the aura and prestige of someone who had been in the top position for a long time. Jiang Shenghe’s father couldn’t control him, so he aimed his sights on Jiang Sixun.

Jiang Sixun casually pointed to the empty seat next to Li Rui and motioned for Luo Qi, “Sit down.”

Luo Qi and Li Rui were not very close; they have only held meetings together and discussed projects, and have had no personal contact at all.

Unlike at work, Li Rui was very easy-going.

“Our Xiao Luo is getting more and more beautiful, and directly increasing Yuanwei’s face value.”

“Sister Li’s praise is undeserved—it’s Brother Jiang and Chief Jiang who adds who Yuanwei’s appearance.” Luo Qi put down her bag and sat next to Li Rui.

Just now, Jiang Sixun remembered that Luo Qi’s birthday will be two days later, “Let’s celebrate your birthday early tonight.” He called the waiter to order a cake for her.

Luo Qi stopped him, “No, I have desserts at home, so no need to order anymore. The three of us won’t be able to finish the cake you ordered.”

Li Rui chimed in, “Why shouldn’t you have a birthday cake? Just order it. I want to eat it too. If we can’t finish it, I’ll take it home and my son can deal with it.”

Jiang Sixun gave Li Rui the menu, “Sister Li, order.”

“The birthday star should go first,” Li Rui handed the menu over to Luo Qi.

Luo Qi didn’t push it back and forth anymore, and ordered two dishes first.

Not long after, the cake arrived.

Jiang Sixun plugged in a candle and lit it.

Li Rui put the crown that came with the cake on Luoqi’s head, “Whether it works or not, make a wish.”

Luo Qi announced it bluntly, “There is only one wish: to make a fortune.”

With laughter around the table, she blew out the candles.
