Chapter 23 Celebrate My Birthday with Me

In the elevator, Jiang Xu kept trying to pull his hand out.

The elevator door opened and He Yanting took her to the box.

When they were almost at the door, Jiang Xu finally shook him off and said coldly, "Why did you bring me here?"

He Yanting turned around and said, "Happy birthday to me."

Jiang Xu retorted, "There are many people rushing to celebrate your birthday, and I am not missing one."

He Yanting held her back and said, "I know I didn't invite you, so you're angry. I'm sorry."

Jiang Xu looked at him in surprise.

But the next second, she shook her head.

I guess he is so nice because of grandma and the shares.

"No need to apologize, I didn't want to come in the first place, let go!"

He Yanting forcibly took her into the box.

Everyone who had been waiting for He Yanting to come back was surprised when they saw him and Jiang Xu come in together.

"I was saying how could she be absent?"

Lin Yue curled his lips.

Zhuang Ze said, "This woman is becoming more scheming. She went to stop Fourth Brother alone."

Huo Qiyu frowned, looked at the two of them, and felt that something was wrong.

It seemed like it was Fourth Brother who dragged Jiang Xu in just now, and Jiang Xu looked reluctant.

But...isn't this too unbelievable?

Impossible, impossible, Jiang Xu must have played some tricks.

"Hey, isn't this our future sister-in-law!"

Lin Yue deliberately said loudly, "I just said that someone was missing today. You always arrive on time every year. Why are you late this year?"

Jiang Xu's face darkened slightly when he heard the teasing in his tone.

No one here welcomed her.

She just wanted to finish quickly and leave, otherwise she would have to explain to her colleagues.

Jiang Xu's silence seemed guilty to everyone.

Lin Yue, Zhuang Ze and others exchanged glances, and there was ridicule and disdain on the corners of everyone's mouth.

"Brother Yanting, it's time to make a wish and cut the cake."

Jiang Xueruo came over and spoke crisply.

"good."

He Yanting pulled Jiang Xu to the cake.

Jiang Xueruo glanced at their clasped hands, took out her phone and said, "Wait a minute, let me take a picture first."

She took a photo of the cake, then tilted her head to look at He Yanting: "I made this cake myself. The words on it were difficult to write. I practiced for a long time. Does Brother Yanting like it?"

He Yanting nodded: "Not bad."

She didn't say anything, and Jiang Xu didn't pay attention to the cake. Now, looking carefully, she saw two people's names on the cake.

If you don't look carefully, you might think it's a wedding cake.

She couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Xueruo pretended to be aggrieved: "Sister, why are you laughing? Do you dislike the cake I made?"

Countless piercing gazes pierced Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xueruo is the little princess held in the palm of these people's hands. Anyone who dares to let her suffer any injustice will surely suffer the consequences.

In his previous life, no matter how much Jiang Xu hated Jiang Xueruo, he would never show it in front of others, for fear of leaving a bad impression on He Yanting and his friends.

But now…

"It's really not that good. It doesn't suit my aesthetic taste. And there's too much cream. It makes me sick to my stomach after one bite."

Jiang Xu commented nonchalantly.

There were gasps all around.

Lin Yue said angrily: "I think it's fine, but you are clearly——"

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang Xu shut him up with a look and said slowly, "Look at the words above. Someone who doesn't know would think you're married. Should I say 'Happily Ever After'?"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Everyone has always thought that He Yanting likes Jiang Xueruo, otherwise why would he dote on her so much when they are not related to him.

I didn't expect Jiang Xu to reveal it today.

"Don't talk nonsense, we're just celebrating our birthday together."

He Yanting frowned.

Jiang Xu smiled. "I only know that some families are struggling financially and share a cake between two people, otherwise they each get one. Why, Mr. He, are you struggling financially too? You can't bear to give up an extra cake and insist on sharing it with your dear sister?"

There was complete silence all around.

Huo Qiyu quickly glanced at the three people and felt that the scene was extremely strange.

It's a bit like the wife beating the mistress, but the mistress seems to be more in line with everyone's idea of ​​the wife. As for the fourth brother, who knows what he is thinking.

Jiang Xueruo's eyes quickly turned red: "I'm sorry, I really didn't think that much, I just felt that Brother Yanting was the closest person to me, so I celebrated his birthday with him with the same cake."

"The closest person?"

Jiang Xu's face was filled with sarcasm. "Jiang Minghuai is not close to you? And your mother, who was a mistress and interfered with other people's marriages, you ate them all? How come He Yanting, who is not related to you at all, is your closest person?"

Jiang Xueruo was stunned by Jiang Xu's attack power. Her face turned red and white, and she opened her mouth but couldn't speak.

Zhuang Ze stood in front and said dissatisfiedly: "You are talking too much!"

Jiang Xu chuckled: "Which of what I said is not the truth?"

Zhuang Ze snorted coldly: "So what if it's the truth? It doesn't stop us all from liking her, let alone Fourth Brother!"

Jiang Xueruo stepped forward to dissuade him: "Brother Zhuang Ze, stop talking."

Everyone thought that these words would break Jiang Xu's defense.

Zhuang Ze was deliberately trying to provoke her so that she would go crazy on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xu was not angry at all. She smiled and said, "Why are you so loud? That night, when you were touching my waist and asking me to spend the night with you, you were very gentle."

These words made Zhuang Ze dumbfounded, and he subconsciously looked at He Yanting guiltily.

Sure enough, He Yanting's expression changed.

"He was groping around your waist?"

He Yanting looked at Jiang Xu with dark eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

Zhuang Ze was unable to defend himself: "I...I didn't."

He Yanting pointed at the door and said, "Get out of here, and don't show up in front of me anytime soon."

Zhuang Ze asked others for help, but some looked at the ground, some looked at the ceiling, and no one dared to say anything.

They were all smart people and could see that He Yanting was really angry.

"Damn, that's really disloyal!"

Zhuang Ze was speechless and turned away angrily.

As a result, no one dared to mock Jiang Xu anymore.

Everyone could see that she was at full strength today, and Zhuang Ze was the first one to be caught in the crossfire.

Suddenly, sobbing sounds were heard, and Jiang Xueruo sniffed: "I'm sorry, everything is caused by me. I ruined Brother Yanting's birthday."

Jiang Xu was no longer interested in watching Green Tea's performance and turned away.

"stop."

He Yanting stopped her, "Don't leave."

Jiang Xu walked out without even looking back.

She had only been here once, had taken a swerve, and got lost after turning a few corners.

He was walking hurriedly when suddenly someone came towards him and bumped into his chest.

Jiang Xu was knocked back a step and his waist was firmly supported.

He Yanting pursed his lips slightly, his dark eyes so deep that one could not see the bottom: "Ruanruan, you are different from before."

Jiang Xu recalled his past life, and a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Everyone changes."

She pushed He Yanting away, and the next second, He Yanting hugged her from behind.

A magnetic voice sounded faintly from behind:

"No matter how things change, you still love me, right?"

Jiang Xu struggled: "Let go in public!"

"I won't let you go unless you spend my birthday with me."

He Yanting hugged her tighter, his arms as firm as iron clamps.

"He Yanting, are you childish?"

Jiang Xu cursed without thinking.

As soon as the words came out, they were both stunned.

Jiang Xu recalled the sweet year in college. He Yanting, who had always been as calm and steady as a flower on the mountain, became clingy and childish since he started dating her.

He teased her from time to time and liked to rub her neck with his hair

Every time he got rubbed so hard that it got really itchy, Jiang Xu would scold him: "He Yanting, are you childish?"

He Yanting enjoyed it very much. Every time he was scolded, he would smile so much that the corners of his mouth would reach the sky.

"Ruanruan, I am only childish in front of you. I will only be childish in front of you in this life, okay?"

He made lifelong promises to her countless times.

But what is the result?

Suddenly waking up from his memories, Jiang Xu's heart felt like it was frozen by ice water, and even breathing became difficult.

Suddenly, He Yanting's breath came from behind:

"Ruanruan, let's go back to that time, okay?"
