Chapter 184: The Stubborn
Because here, I might run into some old acquaintances, those who greeted me with smiles when I was in glory, but looked on coldly at me when I was down.
I followed the route given by Chen Yan and arrived at the designated box.
As soon as I opened the door, I was stunned by the scene before me.
Two rows of handsome muscular men stood at the door, and they shouted in unison: "Welcome home, Princess!"
I stood there in a daze. If I hadn't seen Chen Yan standing at the end, I would have thought I had walked into the wrong room.
I walked quickly towards her and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Chen Yan smiled and patted my shoulder, hugged me and said, "Sister, isn't that nice? I carefully selected these men, each of them can sing and dance, and they will definitely make you happy!"
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I muttered to myself, the relationship between Jiang Yichen and I has finally eased recently, if he knew about this, I would never be able to clear myself even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
I gently pushed Chen Yan away and said awkwardly, "Forget it. I'm old and can't handle it anymore. I'm leaving now."
I was about to leave when Chen Yan grabbed my wrist and said pitifully, "We finally got to meet, can you please not spoil the fun?"
I looked at her helplessly, and she held up three fingers and assured us solemnly: "They just think of it as a way to make the numbers more lively, to play games with us, and do nothing else."
I couldn't bear her pleading and could only nod and agree.
Chen Yan then waved his hand and asked them to stand aside for the time being.
Then she took out a gift for me from her bag - a bag I had liked before.
When I saw this bag, I couldn’t help but feel a warm feeling in my heart.
This is a bag I always wanted, but it was out of stock at the time. At that time, my family was not bankrupt yet, so it was easy to get a bag. But when it became available, my family was already bankrupt, so I never bought it.
I didn’t expect that Chen Yan would always remember such a small thing.
I hugged her tightly, tears welled up in my eyes, and I choked up and said, "Sister, I love you so much."
Chen Yan patted my hand heavily and said intermittently: "Sister, let go quickly, or I will strangle you to death."
We smiled at each other, as if we were back in those carefree times.
We ordered a few more bottles of selected wines, sang and laughed happily, savored the mellow wines, and enjoyed the rare time together until the clock struck twelve in the middle of the night.
I was completely immersed in this joy, forgetting the role of Jiang Yichen and completely forgetting the passage of time.
After the party, Shen Yan and I shared a delicious cake together before reluctantly saying goodbye.
When I returned to the villa, Aunt Wang had already hurried out of the servants' room in her coat. When she saw me, she frowned and said with a hint of complaint, "Why did you come back just now? The master has been waiting for you all night."
Only then did I notice that there was a beautiful cake and a nicely wrapped gift on the table in the living room.
I felt a surge of apology in my heart, frowned and asked with concern: "Where did Jiang Yichen go?" Aunt Wang shook her head helplessly and sighed: "I don't know."
My heart sank suddenly. I thought Jiang Yichen had forgotten this special day, so I didn't tell him specifically.
However, it now seems that Jiang Yichen is definitely angry this time.
I hurriedly took out my cell phone and wanted to call Jiang Yichen to explain, but I found that the phone had automatically turned off because the battery was exhausted.
It goes without saying that Jiang Yichen must have called me countless times, but I just didn't hear them.
In desperation, I had to wait until the morning to charge.
When I stepped into the dim corridor on the second floor, a blurry figure suddenly came into view, scaring me so much that I jumped involuntarily.
Then, Jiang Yichen's gloomy voice sounded in his ears: "Where did you go?"
I held my chest with one hand and answered timidly, "Chen Yan arranged a birthday party for me at the last minute, so..." I didn't dare to continue with the rest of the sentence.
Jiang Yichen couldn't wait to ask, "Why have others always been more important than me?"
I hastily defended myself: "No, I just didn't know you were waiting for me."
Jiang Yichen kept asking, "Then why don't you check your phone?"
I helplessly raised my phone, which had gone black, and said awkwardly, "It's out of battery."
Even without looking, I could imagine that Jiang Yichen must have called me countless times and sent me countless messages.
Otherwise, my phone wouldn't have run out of battery so quickly.
But it doesn’t matter that my phone is out of battery, Jiang Yichen’s phone still has power.
Finally, he showed me a photo, and I felt so embarrassed.
In the photo, I was actually singing a love song with a muscular man in a KTV. The intimacy between us made me want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into immediately.
At this moment, all explanations seem so pale and powerless.
I secretly observed Jiang Yichen's dark face and said carefully: "Those people were hired by Chen Yan. They have nothing to do with me. We did nothing except singing."
"I just didn't want to spoil her fun. You know we haven't gotten together for a long time."
Unfortunately, Jiang Yichen didn't listen to me at all. He grabbed my chin and said viciously, "You really are a stubborn person. I thought you could change for the better. Now it seems that I was just being too sentimental."
I know what he means. Biqing Owen used to be like this too, going out to hang out with them and then leaving the house alone with Jiang Yichen.
Actually, I should have called him today, but... I didn't mean it. I've explained and apologized. What else do you want?
My temper flared up, and I pushed him away forcefully, saying, "You and Lin Nan are getting married soon, so I never thought that you would remember my birthday and buy a cake for me at home."
"You're being so nice to me now, aren't you afraid that I'll depend on you? If Lin Nan misunderstands you, I won't be responsible for explaining it to you."
Jiang Yichen was so angry that he laughed. He said in a cold voice, "Gu Mo, you are really good at turning the tables. Can you explain why Lin Nan misunderstood me, or did you misunderstand? Why did you misunderstand?"
"I...you..." I didn't know how to explain it to him clearly for a moment, but thinking about Lin Nan's attitude, it didn't seem like there would be any misunderstanding.
Jiang Yichen pressed forward step by step, and I retreated again and again. Finally, I had nowhere to retreat. I leaned against the wall, lowered my head, and did not dare to look at Jiang Yichen.
But I could clearly feel the fierce aura around him, and my shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Finally, I closed my eyes, made up my mind, gritted my teeth and said, "I misunderstood that you liked me."
