"Hmm, hmm!" She nodded repeatedly, thinking in her heart: Just get through tonight first.
She felt that Shaocheng was just angry with her. He might still be upset, but he cared about her. This self-awareness buoyed her mood. Even if he wore a cold expression, it wouldn’t obstruct her gradually warming heart. Because she knew, his heart was warm.
Don’t ask her how she knew.
After spending so much ti together, it was only natural to sense that gentle, furtive affection.
If she couldn’t even feel this, she must be blind.
The situation was so urgent that he’d rushed over to shield her from the glass, despite being so far away. How could such an action be of a man who didn’t want a woman?
When she revisited past events, she pondered that Shaocheng was probably angry because she didn’t bear him a child, because she’d contemplated an abortion. Was that domineering man really so intolerant of any defiance from her?
A feeling of constriction welled up inside her...
Fine, she would reflect on it!
Yes, she was remorseful!
Chenxing had a strong feeling. If she insisted on her dignity and self-respect at that mont, if he didn’t want her, she would roll out of his life, and they would really miss each other this lifeti.
However, she didn’t want to miss him. So even if she felt that her clinginess was shaful, she held on to him tightly.
Raising her head, she saw him watching her. Chenxing quietly swallowed her stifling emotion and managed a faint smile. She blinked, "May I go to the banquet hall now?"
"Gift!" Gu Shaocheng’s deanor was cold. His lips slightly parted.
Chenxing blinked again: "What?"
Though Gu Shaocheng really didn’t want to ask a woman for a birthday gift, when faced with her feigned ignorance, he gritted his teeth in annoyance. "You said you ca to celebrate my birthday, no preparations, completely freeloading?"
"I entrusted it to the emcee. As soon as I entered the banquet hall, I handed it over."
So anticipation bubbled up in Gu Shaocheng. His tone remained dull: "What is it? I do not want anything of subpar quality."
"I didn’t have the money to buy sothing too expensive," Chenxing replied softly.
"The breakup fee I gave you is enough to buy any gift!" Gu Shaocheng said, stressing the words ’breakup fee’ heavily.
"Is it much?" She hadn’t even checked.
This provoked a frown from Gu Shaocheng: Was it not enough? It was enough for her to live worry-free for a lifeti!
He considered for a mont, found his wallet, and took out a card, pushing it into her hand. "Don’t spend it all at once, don’t use it to gamble in stocks, don’t use it to lavish n. Even a huge sum of money wouldn’t be enough if you spend it that way!"
Chenxing shook her head to refuse, instead grasping one of his hands and placing it on her waist. After so coaxing, he drew back his arm, leading her out of the guest room.
The elevator was still out of order. Wearing high-heels, she struggled to walk up several floors. Gu Shaocheng crouched before her with a stern expression, "Get on my back. At this rate, when will we ever reach the banquet hall?"
He was clearly taking pity on her struggle, so why did he have to put on such a frosty facade?
Chenxing muttered inwardly, but her lips curved upward. She clambered onto his back, her arms hooked around his neck. She leaned lazily against his broad back, like a contented little kitten.
