Inside the private room, in a luxurious setting.

Tu Ling walked toward Shi Xu, who was personally setting up the birthday party.

"Xu, what do you think of this photo? Doesn't it look like I'm about to have a birthday?"

Shi Xu stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look, and then shook his head.

Doesn't it look like it?

Upon seeing this, Tu Ling's handsome brows furrowed.

The next second, a pair of beautiful hands touched her forehead, smoothing out her furrowed brows little by little.

"No, it's just that the photos don't do you off even a tenth as well as you do in person."

This sentence successfully lured Tu Ling into a pout, and she gently touched Shi Xu's chin with her index finger.

To accommodate her, the boy lowered his body slightly, a smile in his eyes.

She easily lifted his chin with her index finger, and their eyes seemed to be locked in a silent exchange.

"Weren't you a blockhead before? When did you become so eloquent?"

The current timeline is a stark contrast to the one I first met.

She still remembers the first time she saw him; she would blush for a long time even if she just touched his hand.

Now, she's become so naturally gifted that she can spout sweet nothings without even being taught.

Shi Xu's eyes were gentle, like they held a pool of spring water.

He stared into Tu Ling's eyes, slowly moving closer to her, almost kissing her, and whispered, "Then, sister, don't you like it?"

Tu Ling blushed, feeling her hormones surge rapidly.

Oh no, she actually likes it!

Just as she couldn't help but lean forward to kiss him, the boy in front of her cunningly dodged away.

Having missed his target, Tu Ling angrily grabbed his chin and turned his head toward her.

Shi Xu couldn't suppress the smile on his face and said, "Now that I'm being so cooperative, shouldn't you reward me, sister?"

He really is a male vixen.

Tu Ling swallowed hard and kissed him directly.

This time, the timing didn't avoid it; instead, it slightly opened its mouth.

After all, men sometimes need to know when to stop.

After satisfying her craving for words, Tu Ling wrapped her arms around his lean waist and buried her head in his chest, saying with a hint of reproach, "Alright, there are staff members here, take a break."

Shi Xu deliberately misinterpreted her meaning, leaning closer with a smile and whispering, "Don't worry, sister, it won't affect tonight."

? ? ?

Tu Ling felt his ears burning. He really was speaking off the cuff these days, and he'd suddenly start spouting nonsense without warning.

He was clearly an innocent young man at the beginning, and I was the one teasing him every day. How come the roles between us seem to have been reversed now?

"You know that's not what I meant. It hurts me to see you working so hard, and it's not even a real birthday. I just want to get my brat married off as soon as possible..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Xu leaned down and kissed him.

The surrounding staff were already used to it and continued with their work.

Shi Xu looked into her eyes and said seriously, "How can I be casual about it? Anything related to you can't be casual about it."

"If you're willing, I can celebrate your birthday every day."

Tu Ling was somewhat moved by what he heard, but then suddenly realized that something was off about what he said. She immediately pushed him away and laughed in exasperation.

"What do you mean? Are you implying that I'm old?"

With such a huge hat pinned on him, Shi Xu felt like crying but couldn't. He raised his fingers above his head, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"I'm innocent! I beg Heaven to judge the loyal from the treacherous!"

Tu Ling was amused by his words: "Where did you learn these words from?"

Shi Xu chuckled twice, opened his arms, and pulled her back into his embrace.

"Sister, please don't be angry, okay? I'll do whatever you say tonight."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside, and the man who walked in saw the two people embracing and teased them.

"Looks like I've come at the wrong time?"

The man had his hair parted in a 3/7 style, had a handsome face, and wore a roguish smile.

Hearing the familiar voice, Tu Ling pulled away from Shi Xu's embrace and retorted, "Lin Hejing, you're asking for trouble again, aren't you?"

Despite being scolded, the man's smile remained unchanged. Instead, he tugged at the hand of the woman beside him, whose fingers were intertwined with his, and said in a somewhat smug manner, "Wife, look at her. She only knows how to bully me. You have to stand up for me."

Xie Keyin sighed helplessly and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, say less and be more considerate of Lingling."

Seeing that his girlfriend was on his side, Tu Ling snorted and felt increasingly annoyed.

She still can't understand how such a perfect girl could be interested in Lin Hejing.

Just then, she heard her phone chime, but after taking it out, she sighed in disappointment.

She thought it was Pingping, but it turned out to be that brat.

After sending him the private room number, Tu Ling thought about her plans for later and couldn't hide her excitement.

She snapped her fingers, dismissing all the extra staff, and then the people opposite her waved.

After explaining my plan to them, I couldn't stop smiling.

"Does A-Chuan know that you sold him without his consent?"

"Will this work? You've managed to fool them..."

Tu Ling didn't know why, but the moment he saw Su Ping, he felt that this girl was particularly pleasing to his eye.

She had a feeling that Tu Hengchuan would like what she liked.

"Alright, remember not to give anything away later. Just pretend it's a normal party."
