Chapter 854 Gu Wanqiu’s Birthday
On Li Jinxing's birthday, a simple bowl of noodles was made in the kitchen. Gu Wanqiu did not give the painting away. She felt uncomfortable, as she always felt that giving it away would show that she cared more about Li Jinxing.
She put the painting in a drawer by itself, with a small line of words written on the back of the painting.
——Happy birthday to Li Jinxing.
After she leaves and the room is cleaned up, Li Jinxing will see it.
Gu Wanqiu didn't prepare anything, but Li Jinxing didn't feel disappointed because it was like this every year and he was used to it.
At least I can go to Gu Wanqiu's birthday party with her this year, there are still two months left.
Gu Chaodong is sick and has been either hospitalized or running to the hospital recently. Gu Wanqiu has visited him twice, said a few words of concern to him, and then left him alone.
The college entrance examination scores came out in September, and both Gu Wanqiu and Li Jinxing had impressive scores. With these scores, they could choose any university they wanted.
Li Jinxing has always followed Gu Wanqiu, like her shadow, wherever she goes he follows. But this time, Gu Wanqiu said that she would set him free, and he would not have to follow her anymore. He could study what he wanted to study and go to the university he liked.
How wonderful it sounds...
But he was like a kite with a broken string, floating aimlessly, not knowing where to land. For the first time in his life, he was confused.
Gu Wanqiu has some huge properties in her name, which she will inherit when she turns 18.
Gu Chaodong once told her that this was left to her by her mother.
But no one knows where her mother's inheritance came from. With this money, Gu Wanqiu is not afraid of leaving the Gu family.
Gu Wanqiu has some self-awareness about herself. She is a lazy person and likes to reap the fruits of others' labor. She will never command others to do things herself. For example, over the years, she has asked Li Jinxing to help her with many things.
She didn't have the business acumen to manage the Gu family. Even if she was given money, she wouldn't be able to spend it all just on the interest every day.
On Gu Wanqiu's eighteenth birthday, she discussed with Gu Chaodong that Gu Wanqiu wanted to charter a yacht and go to the island to play with friends. The yacht was big, so she let Gu Chaodong be responsible for hiring people, and they could do the same thing as in previous years.
Gu Chaodong agreed.
Gu Wanqiu also met with a lawyer to look at the property under her name. Everything is ready and she can leave after September 30th.
No one knew except Gong Qing that Gu Wanqiu was leaving on that day, not even Li Jinxing. However, he vaguely discovered that Gu Wanqiu was preparing something recently, and sometimes the light in her room was on all night.
He pretended to know nothing.
The Gu family spent money to buy a three-decker luxury yacht, which was estimated to be about 30 meters long. The entire yacht was white and looked very beautiful when parked at the dock.
This yacht can accommodate fifty or sixty people. The invitations Gu Chaodong sent out were all to his close friends and partners, and the Gong family was naturally among them.
The yacht can only accommodate a limited number of people and has strict security controls. Such a place was not originally suitable for Li Jinxing, but Gu Wanqiu had promised him before that she would take him with her to her 18th birthday party.
At eight o'clock in the morning, those who received the invitations came to board the ship one after another.
The birthday party lasted for three days. September 30th was Gu Wanqiu’s official birthday. Preparations began on September 29th and continued until October 1st.
Gu Wanqiu and Li Jinxing boarded the boat together. As the host of the birthday party, of course they had to arrive early. Today, Gu Wanqiu was wearing a blue fishtail skirt. She had a slender figure, and you couldn't tell how good her figure was when she was wearing a school uniform. Now, she was wearing a tight fishtail skirt, which showed off her curves, especially the slit design to the thigh, which made her legs look thin and long, with creamy skin and as white as the finest mutton-fat jade.
When Li Jinxing saw Gu Wanqiu dressed like this, his breath was taken away. She looked like the mermaid princess in a fairy tale.
Gu Wanqiu leaned on the railing to enjoy the breeze, took out her cell phone and called Gong Qing to ask when he would arrive.
There were so many people coming but she was only thinking about Gong Qing. When she knew he was about to arrive, she lifted her skirt and went to the entrance to greet him in person.
…
When the banquet started, Gu Chaodong originally planned to spend the three days with Gu Wanqiu and celebrate her 18th birthday with her, but he had been in poor health recently. He felt dizzy when he was on the yacht floating on the sea. He couldn't even make it on September 30th and had to be hospitalized.
Li Jinxing had been following Gu Wanqiu and felt Gong Qing's scrutinizing gaze. He didn't hesitate and looked over directly.
Their eyes rubbed against each other in the air, but Gu Wanqiu was unaware. The yacht arrived at an island, and after spending two nights there, they were going back on October 1st.
When they went back, many people took the bus. Gong Qing also left early. Before leaving, he only said one sentence to Gu Wanqiu.
"I'm waiting for you."
In the past two days, Li Jinxing always saw Gu Wanqiu and Gong Qing talking alone. Li Jinxing vaguely guessed something that after this trip, Gu Wanqiu might not go back.
There were only a dozen or so people left on the cruise ship. They were all people who often visited the Gu family. After playing for the past two days, everyone was tired. After having dinner on the yacht in the evening, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Gu Wanqiu was also a little tired. The hair she had tied up in the morning was a little messy because of the wind. The temperature difference between day and night at sea was large. It was windy at night and the temperature was only seven or eight degrees. If she wore a skirt during the day, she had to wear a coat at night.
Li Jinxing looked at Gu Wanqiu's slender neck with a deep gaze. Just when Gu Wanqiu was about to go upstairs to rest, he called her.
"Miss."
Gu Wanqiu held the handrail with one hand and turned to face the wind. The ends of her eyebrows were a little red from the wind. She was not wearing any makeup but was still so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.
"What's up?"
"Are you going to leave with Gong Qing soon?"
Gu Wanqiu met Li Jinxing's dark eyes. His eyes seemed to be covered with thick ink. As he grew older, Gu Wanqiu became more and more unable to understand Li Jinxing's thoughts.
Gu Wanqiu said "hmm" softly.
Li Jinxing's expression was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a bitter smile: "Will this be our last night together?"
Gu Wanqiu didn't say anything.
Li Jinxing continued in a hoarse voice, "What a pity! I didn't even have the chance to say happy birthday to you."
In the past two days, everyone has been surrounding Gu Wanqiu. These people are all from wealthy families. Li Jinxing, a servant of the Gu family, really has no qualifications to be around her.
He had restrained himself until tonight.
"Miss, I have prepared a birthday present for you. Can you come with me to my room to get it?"
Li Jinxing actually prepared a birthday present for her, which was unprecedented. In previous years, every birthday, Li Jinxing was only responsible for preparing a big meal for her. It was not that he didn't want to buy it, but even if he did, Gu Wanqiu would not look down on it and would not need it, so he simply spent the money on cooking.
