Chapter 68 Are You Willing To Be My Princess
Ning Suyi's 26th birthday is approaching in a flash, and February 14th is Valentine's Day.
Since she was a child, she has been said a lot that she had a good date for her birth. She could receive a lot of gifts on Valentine's Day. I don't know how many people envy her.
Ning Suyi has been abroad in the past few years and celebrated her birthday with her classmates. Jing Chi would occasionally join in the fun, and if she couldn't get through, she would send the gifts in advance.
My friend asked Ning Suyi how she planned to celebrate her birthday this time.
Ning Suyi said without taking it seriously, how else can she live, just work overtime.
It’s Thursday and a weekday, Ning Suyi has to hold a one-day meeting. At night, there is still a social event that cannot be pushed away. I guess I don’t have time to meet with my friends.
Zou Qianen immediately protested: "Forget it in previous years, you are all in China this year. We are just confused about our birthday. I think we still have to hold a party celebration. You don't have to worry, I'll book a place for you, and you just come over after you finish your work."
Ye Fanshuang raised her hands to agree.
Ning Suyi didn't want to discourage her friends, so she followed them.
After Zou Qianen had booked the venue, Ning Suyi shared the address with several children with good relationships, so that they could go and sit there when they had time, and she would arrive later.
Of course Jing Chi will not be absent. In fact, even if Zou Qianen does not propose to hold a party, he will find a way to celebrate Ning Suyi's birthday.
That night, Ning Suyi ended the dinner and went straight to the restaurant. Uncle Xu drove quickly and steadily, and it was less than 8:30 to the place.
Zou Qianen booked a luxury private room opened by people in a circle, and it was rearranged inside, including balloons, flowers, champagne towers, cakes, and fragrance floats in the air.
Ning Suyi was dressed in a social event, with a light brown suit, high heels, and a black crocodile leather handbag in her hand. Her makeup was so exquisite that she was left with no flaws. She was led by the waiter all the way. As soon as she pushed the door open, a few "bang bang" sounded in her ears. Someone pulled the fireworks, and ribbon chips were flying all over the sky, scattering on her hair and shoulders.
Ning Suyi made a surprise expression with great shame: "Whose idea is this?"
Zou Qianen raised his hand to claim it.
Originally, they planned to create the illusion that the house was pitch black and deserted. As soon as Ning Suyi came in, they suddenly appeared and scared her. Jing Chi rejected it when he heard it. He said that he would scare Ning Suyi, so he killed this plan and changed it to the current one, brightly lit and blatant surprise.
Fortunately, Ning Suyi’s feedback on his expression did not disappoint.
There were seven or eight people in the room, and they knew each other well. Ning Suyi didn't say politely, but only thanked everyone for being so busy and even celebrating her birthday.
The next part is very cliché, eating, drinking, chatting and playing games. Zou Qianen always occupies the microphone and sings some out-of-tune classic songs, which makes everyone fall back and forth.
Just as I was about to cut the cake, someone knocked on the door of the box.
Jing Chi, who was sitting next to the door, got up and went to open the door. Outside was Mu Jingting, wearing a three-piece suit, a black coat folded, hung it on his arms, and holding a gift box in his hand.
"I'm not late, right?" He smiled and looked down at his watch.
Ning Suyi didn't expect him to come. Because she refused his confession last time, she thought of what she said afterwards, which was too resolute. She thought that it would be embarrassing to meet the two. What's more, Mu Jingting has been very busy recently, and Junbai Group's overseas hotel career is developing vigorously. I heard that he has been on business abroad recently.
"It's not too late, I'm going to cut the cake." Ning Suyi smiled and welcomed him in.
Jing Chi glanced at the smile on her lips, and she was full of appetite. Why was she also a suitor? She was friendly and natural towards Mu Jingting, and always had a little embarrassment towards him.
The difference is too obvious.
Mu Jingting gave the gift to Ning Suyi first and said, "Happy birthday."
Ning Suyi: "Thank you."
Zou Qianen and Ye Fanshuang were rushing to insert candles around the three-layer cake, and then they used a lighter to ignite them one by one, asking Ning Suyi to come over and make a wish, and then put a golden crown on her head.
Ning Suyi closed her eyes and made a wish as if she was good. After a short period of more than ten seconds, she opened her eyes and blew out the candles on the cake. She smiled and sighed: "The candle is extinguished, and I will be 27."
Ye Fanshuang continued: "Why do you feel a little regretful when you hear this tone? What are you regretful? We are a large group of people accompanying you."
Zou Qianen said with a smile: "Of course I'm sorry I'm 27 and I haven't fallen in love yet!"
Ning Suyi glared at her and told her not to mention any pot without opening any pot.
Ye Fanshuang looked at Jing Chi and Mu Jingting with a smile. Not to mention, these two people stood together and judged with the most intuitive feeling. It was really hard to tell the difference.
Ning Suyi cut the cake and distributed it to everyone here. In fact, few people like to eat it, so it was just a matter of trying to take a few sips.
Someone suggested: "Why just continue playing the game just now? Who is that person? He was just fined two glasses of wine and drank it?"
The game they just played was equivalent to a perverted adventure. I don’t know where I got a deck of cards from. If I win, I have to follow the requirements written on it. If I can’t do it, I will be punished for wine.
Ning Suyi felt very worried just by watching, but they all like to play, so she had to sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman.
Another kid drank two glasses of punishment wine, pointed at Ning Suyi and said, "I remember it's time to draw cards. Hurry up, the birthday boy should have good luck."
If Ning Suyi had the ability to predict the future, he would definitely not believe him.
She reached out to pick up one from the stack of cards, took it to her eyes and looked closer. The small lettering on it stated: Please ask the player to have a drink with the third person on the left.
Ning Suyi's eyebrows thumped, and a bad premonition came out of her heart.
Before she could turn her head to see who the third person on her left was, a burst of cheering sounds broke out in the box, mixed with a few ambiguous booing sounds.
Mu Jingting followed and smiled briefly.
Ye Fanshuang pressed her hands against her forehead, and she felt that the current scene was even three points higher than the Shura Field.
Ning Suyi glanced at her, and Ye Fanshuang was sitting next to her left, followed by Zou Qianen and Mu Jingting...
The kid was not worried about the big deal, so he immediately poured wine for the two of them, two small wine glasses filled with clear white wine. This "adventure" is not difficult to achieve, so the kid subconsciously thought that Ning Suyi would execute it readily.
Others also thought so, all of whom looked at the show.
Now, the festive atmosphere was like a "breedy bridal chamber". Jing Chi stayed for a second and felt his chest suffocated. He didn't want to make things difficult for him anymore. He suddenly left the seat and walked out of the private room on the grounds of going to the bathroom.
He walked very quickly and for a moment he left the slightly noisy laugh behind him.
Naturally, I didn't go to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. Jing Chi stood by the window at the other end and stretched out his hand to open the window. The cold wind blew in in the first month of the year, and not long after, my fingers lost their temperature.
He curled up his frozen fingers, took out the cigarette and lighter from his pocket, held a piece of his mouth, bent his fingers inward, and prepared to light them. After a glance at the eyebrow, he saw the eye-catching smoke-free sign on the wall, so he had to let go of the hand pressing the lighter and let the flames burned out.
Jing Chi bit the cigarette filter and stood there for a while. He guessed that the play in the private room was about to end and was about to go back. When he turned around, he saw Ning Suyi standing quietly outside a few steps away, and was very surprised.
Ning Suyi walked towards him, and Jing Chi immediately reacted and hurriedly took off the unlit cigarette, pressed his thumb into the middle, and broke the cigarette in two pieces.
However, there was no trash can around, so he could only hold the broken cigarette into his hand.
"I saw it all." Ning Suyi stared at his right hand that was clenched into a fist, and his voice was a little vaguely blown by the wind. "When did you start smoking?"
I remembered that she had been in his car a long time ago and found a box of cigarettes from the storage compartment. She thought it was his friend's, so she didn't think about it on him.
After a while, Jing Chi curled the corners of his mouth, smiling at his eyes: "It's too long, I can't remember it."
Just like she never knows when he started to like her, she doesn't know when he started to smoke, the same truth is.
How could she know what he had never revealed before her?
Ning Suyi held his arm, turned his head, and signaled him: "Get into the house, it's so cold outside." He was not wearing a coat, just a black velvet shirt with a pullover, and his skin became even whiter, like the color of ice and snow.
Jing Chi followed her into the private room, and the people were still having fun and were not affected at all.
He looked at Mu Jingting, who leaned against the handrail of the sofa, held a glass of wine in his hand, swayed gently, and slurped it all over the place, and couldn't tell the emotion.
Logically speaking, he should be proud.
——
The party ended around 10:30 and I still have to go to work tomorrow, so I dare not play until the early morning.
Ning Suyi drank wine and took Jingchi's car back.
The back seat of the car was full of birthday gifts given to her by her friends. When she got off the car, she couldn't take them by herself, so Jing Chi helped her get some of them.
There were only two of them in the elevator. Jing Chi looked at Ning Suyi's blurry face reflected on the metal inner wall and whispered, "I have put the gift to you in your room earlier." After a pause, he added, "As usual, two."
On Ning Suyi's 18th birthday, Jing Chi gave her two gifts.
She asked, why are there two copies?
Jing Chi said that one is a birthday gift and the other is considered an adult gift.
He hasn't changed this habit for so many years. Whenever she celebrates her birthday, he will give two gifts, and he is very unique without exception. Even though her coming-of-age gift has long passed.
Ning Suyi unlocked the lock and pushed open the door. Jing Chi entered the room, placed the gift on the sofa, stood in front of her, pursed her lips slightly, and smiled and said, "Happy birthday, savory. And good night."
Then, he added in his heart: Happy Valentine's Day.
He remembers the two gifts, one is a birthday gift and the other is a Valentine's Day gift. He can't give it openly, and it's enough for him to know it alone.
Ning Suyi sent him to the door, added "Good night", and locked the door.
The room was quiet and slightly empty.
After eating half a piece of cake in the private room, drinking a lot of sweet fruit wine, his throat was dry. Ning Suyi went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water from it, unscrewed the lid, and drank half a bottle in one breath.
She raised her head and swallowed the water, and found that the stairs leading to the second floor had a mural on the side wall. The original painting was a woman sitting on the side facing out the window, wearing a French red velvet skirt and a pearl hairpin. Because the woman's face was only one-quarter exposed, if it weren't for someone close to her, she wouldn't be able to tell that the person in the painting was Ning Suyi.
The painting in front of me was indeed Ning Suyi's face, but it was still in front of a window. She was lying on the desk, squinted her eyes and sleeping, wearing a very simple white shirt.
Ning Suyi looked at it for a while and walked closer to look at it. The painting had its own style, with the word "Jingchi" written on the lower right corner, which was three months ago.
She remembered the day she moved here and joked that she liked the style of this painting very much and wanted to contact the "painter" to draw more for her.
So, Jing Chi, the "painter", took her words to heart and drew another picture for her, giving it to her as a birthday gift.
Ning Suyi's eyes moved down and saw a gift box on the steps below the mural. He opened the lid and saw a pair of very beautiful crystal shoes, with the upper covered with shiny rhinestones of large and small sizes.
Needless to say, Ning Suyi instantly understood what Jing Chi meant.
You once said that you want me to be a brave prince who overcomes all obstacles.
So, would you wear crystal shoes and be my princess?
