The next day, early morning.

“Ahchoo”

“Ahchoo”

“Ahchoo”

Ye Xingguang got up and walked downstairs to find the sound of incessant sneezes coming from the dining room.

Tang Zhou’s voice was particularly loud, “Brother Qing, are you with a cold? Damn, why is your forehead so hot, do you have a fever?”

“It’s not a big deal.” Ye Junqing waved his hand, feeling dizzy. He couldn’t tell if it was side effects from yesterday’s incident or a fever.

Fu Zhuo immediately rushed over, put his hand on Ye Junqing’s forehead, and the alarm bells started ringing, “I’m calling the family doctor now. How did you manage to get yourself sick when you’ve always been as resilient as Iron Man?”

Taking thirty showers, doing nothing but fussing the whole night, he was, after all, human and could only endure so much.

Ye Junqing did not respond, he sat listlessly at the head of the dining table, wearing a white shirt, his left sleeve rolled up high. He couldn’t wait to show off his new watch. His gaze fell on it from time to time, only his birthday gift from Xiaoyuwei could comfort him right now.

“Brother Qing, you’ve changed your watch, where’s your million-dollar name-brand one? This watch seems to be really cheap. This brand only costs tens of thousands at most. Doesn’t it feel beneath you?” Ji Qishu found out, but he completely disregarded the value of the watch!

As soon as he said this, he could feel the chill in the air.

Ye Junqing squinted his eyes dangerously, if he couldn’t say anything nice, he should keep quiet. The watch was a gift from Xiaoyuwei, even if it only cost ten bucks, it was still his priceless treasure. More importantly, it was bought with her first paycheck, which made its meaning even more unique.

Fu Zhuo having a moment of enlightenment, bold guessed: “Master Qing, was this watch a gift from Miss Ye?”

Ye Junqing’s expression softened slightly, even though his voice was unpleased, “She bought it with her first month’s salary, unnecessary expenditure, a waste of money. It’s not like I’m lacking a watch.”

Ji Qishu was surprised, “First month’s salary, impossible right? Little Xingguang, an intern, only earns six thousand in her first month. How could she afford this watch? She didn’t steal it, did she?”

Ye Xingguang walked in from outside just in time to hear Ji Qishu’s words, immediately rebutting, “Who stole it? Mr. Fu had given me a shopping card.”

Fu Zhuo desperately tried to signal Ye Xingguang, who unfortunately went on to say, “It’s true. Mr. Fu, testify for me. Didn’t you say that during the official matching period, I must prepare a birthday gift for Ye Junqing, so you gave me a shopping card and told me to buy him a gift from the duty-free shop?”

Fu Zhuo covered his face with his hand. Was Miss Ye silly? Such things were better kept to oneself, why blurt them out?

Upon hearing this, Ye Junqing shot Fu Zhuo a cold glare. This was not how he’d put it!

Fu Zhuo: ” My apologies, Master Qing.

Ye Junqing’s good mood vanished in an instant. His gaze landed back on Ye Xingguang’s face, a faint sense of disappointment apparent in his eyes. His voice was cold and firm, “Why didn’t you use your first-month salary to buy it?”

He had not forgotten her words about using the first paycheck to buy a gift for the most important person. Only by receiving the gift she bought with her first paycheck could he prove his importance to her.

“My monthly salary is low, I can’t afford anything too expensive. How are you feeling now?”

How he was feeling was secondary, his mood had plummeted. She had spent all of her first paycheck of six thousand, but not a single cent was spent on him!

Last night, he had endured everything, took thirty showers, just for the sake of his birthday gift!

But in the end…

Reality is a cruel knife!
