The kiss was long, ignoring the audience.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take pictures!" Gu Fan jeered.
Huo Yunchao abruptly pulled away from Xue Qiandai's lips, still wanting more. Under the KTV lights, his little fairy's face was flushed, not from shyness, but from holding back her desire.
"Anyone who dares to take this picture will forfeit their year-end bonus."
President Huo, you're ruthless!
Yu Xue fiddled with her phone. "Senior Brother Gu, Yun Chao doesn't pay you a salary, so you can take pictures."
Gu Fan said irritably, "It's all over, what's the point of filming?"
"Old Huo, go kiss at home if you want. All the brothers are still single. How about you give your year-end bonus to your wife?" Qin Shu handed over a handful of cake. "Let's cut the cake!"
Xue Qiandai took the decorations provided by the cake shop and put them on the birthday boy. Huo Yunchao and everyone else lit the candles together. "Alright, let's make a wish first."
The birthday song played again.
Huo Yunchao closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and instantly transformed into a devout believer, making a sincere wish. Ten seconds later, he opened his eyes and blew out the candle in one breath.
"What did you wish for? What did you wish for?" The friends chattered excitedly.
"If I say it, it won't work." Huo Yunchao glanced at Xue Qiandai, his eyes filled with sweetness and warmth, enough to make anyone swoon.
After counting the number of people, Huo Yunchao swiftly cut the cake into twelve pieces.
The first one is for his little fairy.
"Hey, Lao Huo, that's not fair of you. You should at least learn to respect the elderly and care for the young." The implication was clear: they should at least give it to Senior Brother Gu first!
Gu Fan unleashed the Flower-Splitting Acupuncture Technique with incredible speed, saying, "I'm not old, I'm a young and handsome guy, right, Dai Dai?"
Xue Qiandai took a bite of cake and stuck her tongue out at Qin Shu, "You didn't even ask Jian Yan to come with such a good opportunity, no wonder you're single... you dog!"
Qin Shu, caught in the crossfire once again, looked utterly dejected. The other brothers, however, began gossiping.
"Old Qin, when are you going to bring your wife to meet us?"
"His brother-in-law ran away, does that mean it's over?"
"You should learn more from Mr. Huo when it comes to picking up girls!"
The cake had been divided, and Qin Shu got the last piece, which was rotten and the smallest—clearly revenge.
Qin Shu chuckled, "Perfect timing, I'm on a diet, Lao Huo, you understand me!"
Huo Yunchao put down the knife and picked up his own piece. "I'm a little worried. If you lose any more weight, you won't even be able to carry the fairy-like girl you're pursuing."
Qin Shuxiu flexed his biceps, exuding masculinity. "I'm all muscle!" But after putting down the cake, he immediately texted Jian Yan, "Jian Xiaoyan, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to a movie."
After finishing the cake, everyone cleared their sweet, cloying throats, ready to showcase their singing talents.
Yu Xue selected three songs and moved them to the front: "Hiroshima Mon Amour," "A Perfect Match," and "Tomorrow I'm Going to Marry You."
"Next, please welcome Mr. Huo and his lovely lady to give us a wonderful duet."
Look, the honorary president and committee member of the foundation really knows how to get things done.
Huo Yunchao also stepped up without hesitation, holding Xue Qiandai's hand with one hand and the microphone in the other. He sang a line, looked at her three times, and his pupils were filled with Xue Qiandai's image.
After the song ended, Xue Qiandai clapped her hands. "Have a good time, everyone. Put the bill on President Huo's tab, and ask him for reimbursement later. We're leaving!"
Everyone laughed, "It's not even dark yet, and you're already planning to go home and have fun??"
After leaving the KTV, they didn't drive, but instead retraced their original route, heading towards Tsinghua University.
Coincidentally, Xue Qiandai was also wearing high heels today.
"Dai Dai, are you tired? I'll carry you."
Xue Qiandai smiled, "Holding your hand makes me feel less tired. Besides, I'm wearing a dress today."
Huo Yunchao picked her up horizontally and asked, "Is it okay if I carry you like a princess?"
Since it was the road to Tsinghua University, there were bound to be Tsinghua students around, and Huo Yunchao and Xue Qiandai were both well-known alumni of Tsinghua. After walking a few steps, Xue Qiandai insisted on getting off.
"My dear, the oldest of the post-80s generation are already thirty years old and starting to feel nostalgic."
Huo Yunchao hummed in agreement. "I'm not even thirty yet, and sometimes I miss the innocent days of the past."
"So, everyone has feelings. I incorporate feelings into my fashion design, and you incorporate feelings into your Fireball design."
Oh, Huo Yunchao's little fairy is never an ordinary woman confined to petty love affairs; she is a business genius and a marketing master.
"Passion allows us to go further."
Half an hour later, the two arrived at Tsinghua University, near the university hospital.
Standing by the courtyard wall, Xue Qiandai took a white box out of her platinum bag. "Here, a birthday present. Happy birthday, my beauty!"
Huo Yunchao took it and glanced at it; it was an iPhone 4. This new phone was hailed by the media as Apple's classic masterpiece, Steve Jobs' pinnacle work. It was only released in North America at the end of June this year.
"The third apple that will change the world is for Huo Meiren, who is changing the world." Xue Qiandai tilted her head, looking particularly charming and cute.
“You’re right, Apple has indeed changed the world. Smartphones are the trend, and I believe it won’t be long before everyone is ordering takeout using their phones. Developing apps that are suitable for mobile phones and improving the customer experience is the key to my and Huotuan’s victory.”
Huo Yunchao and Xue Qiandai are the most in sync.
"Although the 4G era has arrived, it is not yet widespread. Perhaps there will be 5G, at which time the internet speed will be like a rocket, and we may be able to do everything on our mobile phones."
Huo Yunchao held her hand, "So, the two of us sit on the cusp of the wind and fly together."
There's a saying on the internet: "If you're sitting in the right place at the right time, even a pig can fly."
Two happy pigs haven't flown yet; they're already kissing.
After that, the two of them strolled around the Tsinghua University campus for a long time, watching the clouds drift by on Lover's Slope next to the lotus pond, enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Students from Tsinghua University recognized them and asked for autographs. However, their peaceful time together was disrupted, and they couldn't stay any longer. Since they had walked there and their Mercedes was still parked at the KTV, they hailed a taxi.
Xue Qiandai: "Kunyu Bay".
Huo Yunchao: "Qian Gui KTV".
The driver turned around in confusion, "Where are we going?"
Huo Yunchao repeated it.
Okay, picking up the car first is fine too.
When they arrived at the KTV, the two didn't go upstairs. Huo Yunchao sat in the driver's seat. "Dai Dai, I'll drive from now on. If you're tired, you can take a nap."
She had walked a lot that day, and in high heels no less, her feet were already sore and aching. But she had a vague feeling that a surprise was coming. "My beauty, where are we going?"
Huo Yunchao kept everyone in suspense, saying, "You'll know when we get there."
The Mercedes-Benz headed northeast of Beijing and got on the highway. It was already past 7 p.m.
The road is familiar to Xue Qiandai; it's the route she takes every day on her way home. Is she going to Xianghu Bay?
They had arrived at the Central Villa District. Huo Yunchao changed direction again and slowed down on Anhua Street. To the left of the road was Yanlan Villa, where Zhao Jiequn's family lived; to the right was Youshan Meidi, both top-tier villas and luxury residences in the Central Villa District.
"Beautiful lady, you bought a villa! Are you going to be neighbors with Zhao Jiequn?"
