Chapter 210 Jiang Shibai, do you still have any shame?
Unable to hear the voice from the other side, Xu Xian's thick and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and he whispered: "Why don't you speak?"
No one expected that this carefully planned surprise would turn out to be an accident.
She deliberately forgot his birthday and returned home quietly.
He flew to Belgium.
Both of them wanted to give each other a surprise, and now it really became a surprise.
Soon, the man's depressed voice reached her ears, with a little bit of reluctance and helplessness, "My dear, I'm buying the next flight home."
"It's just that the next flight leaves in four hours, so I guess I won't be able to celebrate my birthday with you today."
Xu Xian turned on the light in the living room in the dark. The dazzling crystal chandelier instantly emitted a dazzling light. She subconsciously closed her eyes, and after a few seconds of adjustment, she slowly opened them.
In the center of the luxurious and elegant living room is a one-person-high puzzle photo, which shows the two of them taking a photo together in the snow. Each piece of the puzzle was found and put together by her own hands, which is of great significance.
The ground is covered with ice-blue rose petals, forming a beautiful heart shape, and on it are gift boxes of various sizes, stacked up in a staggered manner. Translucent star lights are intertwined with each other, creating a romantic and mysterious atmosphere.
"How about we video call each other? I can celebrate your birthday over the video?"
The surprise she had spent most of the day preparing couldn't be wasted, so it wasn't a pity to celebrate her birthday over the Internet.
If you don't want to miss today, this is the only option.
There was a faint sound of clothes rubbing against each other on the other end of the phone. Jiang Shibai's low voice revealed a hint of impatience, "Okay, wait for me for a moment. I'll go out and find a quiet place."
"Well, go slowly, don't be in a hurry, it's still early." Xu Xian whispered.
The man responded obediently, but his hurried pace showed no sign of slowing down.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xian took out the ice cream cake she ordered from the refrigerator, unwrapped it, and put candles on it.
She originally wanted to make the cake herself, but time didn't allow her after she got off the plane, so she had to order it in advance at a bakery.
The cake is the same blue as today's main color, simple and elegant, with two little figures made of fondant placed in the center, snuggling together, delicate and small.
When she was ready, Jiang Shibai's video call came.
The man sat in the corner of the airport VIP lounge, looking so exhausted that he barely even had time to catch his breath. His carefully styled hair was a little messy, and his inky black eyes were filled with tenderness as he stared straight at the decoration of the living room in the picture.
"My dear, how many gifts have you prepared for me?" Jiang Shibai raised his thick eyebrows slightly, his tone revealing a hint of surprise.
The mountain-like gift boxes are the most eye-catching in the picture.
"Not as many as when you proposed to me. You are thirty years old, so naturally there are thirty of them. I will slowly take them down when you come back." Xu Xian put his phone away, turned off the lights again, and then pressed the switch of the star light.
A small portion of the gifts were small items bought according to his age, and another portion were things she made by hand, such as scarves, pop-up books, etc. They were not worth much, but the sentiment was what mattered.
After all, he is a wealthy man and has no shortage of valuable gifts. The thought is what matters most.
The next second, the dark living room was twinkling with stars, like the bright stars in the Milky Way. The golden light and shadow fell on the two smiling static faces on the puzzle, adding a bit of vividness.
The woman pointed the camera at the cake. The flickering candlelight illuminated the slightly powdered face. Her beautiful eyes were slightly curved, her rosy lips were slightly open, and a gentle and pleasant voice was transmitted to Jiang Shibai's eardrum through the Bluetooth in his ear.
"Happy 30th birthday to Mr. Jiang Shibai! May you be happy every day and be safe and prosperous."
As the words fell, those smiling eyes stared at him expectantly.
An ordinary birthday blessing came out of the mouth of his beloved. Jiang Shibai felt that only her beautiful voice was left in his ears. His heart couldn't stop beating and seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.
After Xu Xian finished reading the blessing, she saw him staring at her affectionately, making a wish without closing his eyes, and she couldn't help but say, "Don't make a wish? If you don't blow out the candles, you can't eat the cake."
The flame at the top of the candle flickered slightly, and the wax slid down the straight paste and solidified halfway.
Jiang Shibai chuckled softly, and the magnetic laughter reached Xu Xian's eardrums, and a blush appeared on her pink cheeks.
He understood her little thoughts. She just wanted to eat a sweet cake in the name of her birthday.
Following her thoughts, the man closed his dark eyes to hide the unclear emotions in his eyes, and his angular contours became three-dimensional and smooth.
After a few seconds, he slowly lifted his eyelids, with stars in his eyes, and said softly, "My dear, help me blow out the candles."
"Okay." Xu Xian pouted and blew out the candle in one breath, a little impatiently.
The dim light went out in an instant, leaving only the light of the star-shaped lamp. Half of the woman's bright and beautiful face was hidden in the darkness, hazy and beautiful.
Xu Xian didn't bother turning on the lights. He enthusiastically cut the cake in the dim light. He said, "It's a shame you can't have this delicious cake. I'll try it for you."
After saying that, she scooped up a small piece and put it into her mouth.
The sweet and sour soft cake fills the mouth, and the ice cream is mixed with strawberry particles. The taste buds are greatly satisfied and I can't help but squint my eyes.
"Is it delicious?" Jiang Shibai asked with a curled lip.
"Well, of course your birthday cake is delicious." Xu Xian took another bite and nodded like pounding garlic.
"Since you have tasted it for me, I will check it myself after I come back and taste it carefully." Jiang Shibai narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his ink-black eyes revealed evil thoughts.
Xu Xian paused, his eyes dodging, and he spoke vaguely, "Try it! I'll make one for you myself when the time comes."
The accidental coincidence gave her time to prepare a new cake by herself.
Jiang Shibai saw that she was deliberately laughing, so he smiled without saying anything.
After she finished eating a piece, he said quietly, "Did you put together that puzzle on the ground?"
"Hmm!" Xu Xian's mouth was full of cake and his voice was muffled.
"So this is the man hiding in your office?" Jiang Shibai easily guessed the reason why she looked back furtively in the office that day.
This puzzle would take at least three to five days to complete, and there was no place to hide it at home, so it could only be hidden in her office.
No wonder he lied about working overtime and was not allowed to go to the company.
After all this time, I found out there was really a man hiding in the office.
Xu Xian: “…”
Don't bring up things that are not related to the topic.
Because of that casual remark, she paid a heavy price that night.
The past was too painful to recall, so she chose not to hear his teasing.
"Guaibao's puzzle is very beautiful." Jiang Shibai said casually, as if he was just saying it casually, "I'll put it in a frame and hang it in the office someday."
He thought this puzzle would be better than the photo in the office because people would see it as soon as they walked in.
After a while, Xu Xian said in a muffled voice: "Jiang Shibai, do you still have any shame?"
This puzzle is hung in the office. Is he afraid that others don’t know that he is married?
Look at his attitude, he wants the whole world to know about his relationship with her.
The thought of my subordinates coming in and out of the office looking up and seeing this puzzle would make them so embarrassed that they would drop their toes to the ground.
