67th birthday
Jealousy
"……What?"
After a long moment, in the silence and fragrance of flowers in the room, Shao Yue heard his own struggling voice, unable to calm down any longer, "Weiwei, can you please say it again?"
What were I just saying?
As soon as she said this, Liang Youwei was shocked by her own subconscious reaction. As her peach blossom eyes gleamed, she thought of the promise she had made to her brothers and sisters.
With Liang Jingyi, with Liang Zhihui, and with Liang Ting'an.
The four of them are meant to be together forever.
I shouldn't have betrayed you.
Her heart was crumbling, her ears were burning crimson, and she dared not look at him again. As if scalded, Liang Youwei hastily averted her gaze, trying to justify her impulsiveness: "If, if it were before, I would definitely marry you without a single hesitation. But things are different now. I can't, and shouldn't, do this so easily..."
She was flustered and her speech became incoherent.
"Why not?"
After confirming that the other party had this intention, the emotion called courage returned to Shao Yue, and he finally dared to take a step forward. He fought for himself, allowing the two of them to breathe closer.
"And why shouldn't I?"
The intoxicating scent was stronger than the fragrance of flowers. Liang Youwei felt her heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out to announce her restlessness.
How to choose?
On one side is Shao Yue, whom she has been fascinated by for many years and cannot extricate herself from him; on the other side are her brothers and sisters who she has long been accustomed to and cannot let go of. Love is everywhere.
Liang Youwei is too greedy, she wants every bit of love.
But how could there be so many good things in the world? Putting aside the promises she had made to the Liang family, she already had a child in her belly—a child that was 100% certain was not Shao Yue's biological child.
How could she marry Shao Yue while pregnant with Liang Ting'an/Qin Zhen's child?
Well, personally, Liang Youwei did not think this matter was a big deal. But she was a kind person who could put herself in other people's shoes. If she were to marry a man with an illegitimate child, would she be happy?
She absolutely won't.
Tolerating Shao Yue's love history was Liang Youwei's biggest concession, as her own was also a messy one, and the two of them were barely even. But Shao Yue didn't create another life, and didn't get involved in too many things that would damage their relationship.
Liang Youwei was really struggling.
The sound of her breathing gradually grew louder beside her ears, just like her surging heartbeat. Liang Youwei closed her eyes and followed her heart.
"Because I'm pregnant."
She wanted to shift the moral dilemma of making multiple-choice questions onto the other party.
You see, I've already revealed my complete self. If you still want to be with me, then you must bear some unnecessary responsibilities. Even if this "unnecessary" thing causes trouble in our relationship in the future, it has nothing to do with me.
This is your own choice, you can't blame me anymore.
…
The world seemed to be quiet for a long time, but it also seemed to be only quiet for a moment.
Shao Yue's voice fell into his ears, clear and calm. He said one word without beginning or ending: "Okay."
What's good?
Liang Youwei didn't understand, and looked up blankly, then heard his next sentence in a calm voice.
"Let's get married."
Liang Youwei was surprised, her pupils trembling: "Huh?"
Was Shao Yue crazy? Didn't he understand the implication of what he was saying? She was pregnant, not a pet!
Shao Yue stared into her eyes, their deep black color like a tolerant and gentle ocean. At this moment, his rich facial features showed no aggression, just as he promised: "If you are willing to marry me, then why shouldn't I marry you?"
With mixed feelings in her heart, Liang Youwei said with difficulty: "But, this is not your child."
"That's not important." Shao Yue gave her a reassuring smile.
He had never thought of leaving "offspring" in this world, and he had always been indifferent to the Shao family's genes.
As for whether Liang Youwei had offspring, he didn't care. From the beginning to the end, Shao Yue only liked Liang Youwei unilaterally. Whether she had children or not, and with whom she had children, was her freedom.
"unimportant?"
Liang Youwei couldn't believe what she heard. She believed she had seen many men and women of all kinds, but this was the first time she had seen someone as "free and easy" as Shao Yue.
Unable to ignore her sense of worldly morality, the girl stammered, "But, but this kind of thing can't be kept secret. If anything unpleasant gets out, you, me, and our two companies will all be greatly affected..."
Shao Yue took her hand, and under her bewildered gaze, he slowly and firmly intertwined their fingers: "This won't happen."
Her peach blossom eyes, always full of affection, were now focused, devoid of their usual frivolity and casualness. "I'll take care of everything. Are you willing to trust me, Weiwei?"
Those eyes were too deep, Liang Youwei couldn't even last three seconds, her brain felt dizzy in an instant, and she nodded uncontrollably.
"I do."
Her sister had forgotten about her, and her brother had completely forgotten about her. Liang Youwei's mind was now filled with only Shao Yue.
Her mind was in a daze, and the thought of "I'm going to marry Shao Yue" was circling deep in her brain. The beautiful dream of her youth was within reach, and Liang Youwei's rationality was gone.
After staring at the face she had loved for more than ten years for a moment, she stood on tiptoe without thinking, put her arms around his waist, and took the initiative to enter his arms, with her soft face pressed against his silk shirt.
Shao Yue is truly fragrant. Even though it smells slightly spicy at first, the alluring aftertaste more than makes up for any shortcomings of the initial scent.
"Shao Yue..."
She had originally intended to speak coquettishly, but the moment her words left her mouth, they were tinged with genuine emotion and tears. Hearing that cry, she was stunned.
"…Sorry. Don't cry."
The man opposite froze for a few seconds, and when he reacted, he put his big palm on her back and patted it lightly.
In fact, Shao Yue didn’t understand why Liang Youwei was crying, but he knew one thing: he felt sorry for her.
After all, Shao Yue had a lot of selfish motives in this proposal.
He thought, if he spent the rest of his life with someone who didn't pretend, then he should be able to live a more authentic life, right? Shao Yue didn't want to leave Liang Youwei, and he couldn't bear to watch Liang Youwei be with someone else, or even marry someone else.
so--
I'm sorry, Weiwei. My love for you isn't 100% pure.
Smelling the scent of cherry blossoms in the girl's hair, Shao Yue's eyes darkened.
Since it is not pure, he shouldn't ask for too much.
In short, his reputation has already rotted into the mud. It is normal for a playboy to coax a good girl into bed and get her pregnant.
From this point of view, Shao Qing is really far-sighted. He is worthy of being the only heir of the Shao family. He is extremely far-sighted and can even foresee today more than ten years in advance.
With a sarcastic smile on his lips, Shao Yue hugged Liang Youwei a little tighter and slowly closed his eyes.
Children? No problem.
Shao Yue doesn't have the throne waiting for them to inherit, he only wants Liang Youwei.
.
Liang Zhihui felt that Liang Youwei's condition was not right recently.
If you say she is happy, sometimes when she looks at herself and her siblings, she will turn her eyes away and sigh; but if you say she is sad, this little girl will hum songs from time to time, shake her head, and have a very good appetite.
"Weiwei, are you looking forward to this year's birthday party?"
Liang Zhihui thought about it and, combined with the recent schedule compiled by his elder brother, felt that Liang Youwei would only have greater emotional fluctuations because of this incident.
She should be happy to celebrate her birthday with Jingyi and make birthday wishes together. But she must also feel guilty about the past mismatch that caused Jingyi so much injustice. Add to that the effects of pregnancy hormones, and it's perfectly normal for her moods to fluctuate.
Thinking about it this way, the abnormal situation has a reason.
Liang Youwei smiled and looked up, her gaze shifting from the ink screen to her second sister: "Of course I'm looking forward to it. What's wrong, sister?"
"...It's okay. I was just wondering if you would like this year's gift." Liang Zhihui put aside the strange premonition for the moment, she smiled gently and pinched the other person's cheek.
Thanks to her good appetite, Liang Youwei's cheeks have grown fat again in the past few days, making her look quite silly like she did in high school.
She doesn't look very smart, but she is very beautiful. She is the type of silly beauty that Liang Zhihui likes most.
Of course, the premise is still that this delicate and arrogant little flower is not her employee, subordinate or colleague.
"I like you. I like whatever you give me. It's a matter of course." Liang Youwei didn't know what her smart second sister was thinking. She put down the tablet and rubbed it stickyly so that she could pinch more.
Liang Zhihui's heart softened, and his eyes curved slightly: "Yeah. He seems to have gained a lot of weight recently."
"Isn't it cute?" Liang Youwei hummed, her tone affirmative, the implication being "You are fascinated by me too, right?"
Liang Zhihui's smile deepened, and his voice became softer. His slender fingers slid back and forth across the beautiful woman's face: "Cute."
Liang Youwei was very proud, her eyebrows dancing with joy: "Then shouldn't you kiss me?"
"It's what you deserve."
As soon as the words fell, the two fingers became one, lifting the slightly rounded chin, accompanied by a soft command: "Then, close your eyes."
Liang Youwei clasped her hands over her chest and did as she was told with great anticipation.
However, the imagined warm touch did not fall on my face.
Liang Youwei counted for a few seconds, pursed her rosy lips, and waited patiently for a long time, but still nothing happened. Puzzled, she opened her eyes.
But he saw a long-haired woman sitting opposite him, looking at him with a leisurely smile, holding a mobile phone in her hand. Seeing that he had opened his eyes, she calmly unlocked the phone, revealing the screen -
It was a photo of herself closing her eyes and asking for a kiss.
Her plain face was devoid of any makeup, her cheeks reflecting a natural, light blush that spread to the tips of her ears. Her eyes narrowed into crescents, revealing her joy without a trace. The butterfly sapphire on her collarbone shone, making her skin glow.
Plop, plop, plop.
Liang Youwei's eyes widened, and her shyness and embarrassment exploded simultaneously. Her blush turned into a red glow, and she was extremely angry: "Sister! How could you, how could you do this?"
Liang Zhihui said slowly, without blinking, "What about me?"
You're still asking! You're still laughing! How embarrassing!
Liang Youwei felt ashamed and humiliated, so she simply threw herself into her arms, pretending to hit the man's shoulder, and complained in a hoarse voice: "Sister, you are bad."
Liang Zhihui lowered his head and laughed twice with an ambiguous tone: "Don't you like it?"
“…”
Ahhhhhh! It's even worse!
But, but I seem to like it more...
Liang Youwei rubbed her head against her, whimpered in a rather pathetic manner, and said weakly, "I like it."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Liang Zhihui exerted a little force on his hands, lowered his head, and kissed the lips of moderate thickness.
It was clearly a very gentle and restrained touch, but Liang Youwei felt inexplicable palpitations, difficulty breathing, and her body was shaking for unknown reasons.
This is a strong, yet silent, aggression that is unique to Liang Zhihui. No matter how he disguises himself, Liang Zhihui's personality remains strong, decisive, noble, and inviolable.
Silver-rimmed glasses that must be worn during negotiations and work, slender high heels with pure black leather uppers and bright red soles, Chinese and Western suits that always have the same color scheme, and all kinds of brooches, watches, and accessories worth tens of millions.
Every single item that appears on his body is a powerful footnote to Liang Zhihui's style of doing things.
The kiss deepened, and Liang Youwei subconsciously placed her palm on his shoulder. The slightly cold Gloriosa lily diamond brooch touched her wrist bone, causing her shoulder to tremble and her fingers to curl up involuntarily.
Liang Zhihui did not make any extra expression, but just held the other person's hand, and then, without allowing any refusal, pressed the gorgeous and cold jewelry on it.
The 21-carat weight, lifelike shape, and breathtaking pigeon blood ruby petals are like flowing flames.
And—Liang Zhihui’s violent heartbeat.
All of them were held in Liang Youwei's hands.
·
March 21st is the birthday of Liang Youwei and Liang Jingyi, and it is also Liang Jingyi's first birthday after returning to the Liang family. According to Liang Jiangsheng and He Jingshu, it should be a grand celebration.
"We actually have to personally order the invitations? It's just a birthday party, what's the big deal?"
Leaving the dress she'd be wearing tomorrow night casually aside, Liang Jingyi tossed the invitation sample. When she'd been asked to draw a design and give her feedback, Liang Jingyi had been bothered, and only Liang Youwei coaxed her into agreeing with the phrase "our common invitation" did they reluctantly settle on a mermaid tail design. Now, seeing the finished product, she couldn't help but complain.
Liang Youwei loved these fancy little things. She took out the invitation and said confidently, "Of course, it's our birthday party. Although we will celebrate every birthday together in the future, the sense of ceremony is indispensable. Look, look, my design is so beautiful~"
The cover was a pure white, elegant European design, with a dried flame orchid pressed beneath a crimson wax seal. Opening the envelope revealed a formulaic invitation, the text unremarkable, but the letterhead, featuring a rose wrapped around a fishtail, was truly a masterpiece. The interweaving of red and blue, sprinkled with tiny gold dots, created a delicate and innovative design.
Liang Jingyi has always been confident in Liang Youwei's aesthetic taste: "Well, it is indeed unparalleled in the world. The dress you picked is also."
"Then—let's try jewelry next. Jingyi, you know, we have so many necklaces. We have to match them with the most suitable diamonds, right?"
Hearing the undisguised compliments, someone became excited again, and all the fatigue from trying on clothes just now was swept away.
Liang Jingyi fainted.
I feel that Liang Youwei can definitely make a name for herself by saying "A day in the life of a high-energy pregnant woman".
However, facts proved that Liang Youwei's unremitting pursuit of excellence was correct, because the next day, Liang Zhihui posted a birthday photo of the two on the social platform with the caption "Happy birthday, sisters."
Her accompanying photo was a single one, but it was incredibly bold—a picture of two sisters kissing, or rather, a photo of Liang Jingyi being kissed unilaterally. In the warm-colored background, the braided-haired girl smiled, her lips pouting as she kissed the side of another girl's cheek. In contrast to the braided girl's playful and forthright demeanor, the bun-haired girl's eyes were evasive, her captivatingly gorgeous features revealing a shyness that seemed completely at odds with her allure.
Once the Weibo post was released, it gained popularity through deliberate promotion and diversion.
I read this three times in disbelief. Is this really my sister's account? @YixingLegalMinistry, your CFO's account was hacked. Are you here to work?
[The mystery is over, this is my favorite dual-heroine story! ]
[Blindly guessing that the girl with the hair in a bun is a melon and the girl with the hair in a loose style is a flower, it has been spread as a rumor, don’t let it go to waste]
[The two of them were like a couple...]
[Remove "wife, wife"...]
[As if I had also gone...]
…
Half an hour later, Liang Jingyi realized that her second sister had prepared such a "birthday surprise" for her. For a moment, she felt her phone was incredibly hot. She wanted to check the comments section, but she didn't dare to.
After all, if it weren't for love, how could same-sex people kiss in daily life? However, there are too few people who can treat homosexuals with a normal attitude. They often fall into two extremes: either crazy support or endless devaluation.
Liang Jingyi doesn't like either attitude.
Besides, I am not a gay and don’t have a penis.
Liang Youwei didn't suspect anything and directly opened her phone and flipped through a few pages. After confirming that there were no negative comments, she handed it to Liang Jingyi with a smile: "Why are you afraid to look at it, Jingyi? Use my phone to look at it~ They are all praising us for being a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
“…Really?” Liang Jingyi wavered, and his tone became less timid.
"Of course."
Liang Youwei is very open about same-sex relationships. In her view, love, family, friendship, these beautiful emotions are universal, and it is normal to like a good person. Even if someone tries to point fingers at them, she doesn't care.
However, for the sake of her beloved, Liang Youwei felt that she needed to screen the comments of netizens in advance.
Liang Jingyi pursed her lips, unconsciously turning the thin snake-shaped diamond bracelet on her wrist, and her eyes slowly moved to the screen of her mobile phone.
There are always "99" and "how pay", mixed with "I can judge whether they are sisters or lovers".
She could understand the first and last sentences, but what did "how much" mean?
Liang Youwei was disgusted with her: "Jingyi, how can you be as unsophisticated as your brother? Can you pronounce these two words again?"
Liang Jingyi was puzzled, but did as he was told. After reciting it slowly two or three times, he still didn't understand. Seeing Liang Youwei's rare look of "How could you be so stupid" towards him, he became even more panicked.
Her intelligence is a treasure in the world and must not be despised, let alone the person she despises is her target.
The more anxious I was, the faster I spoke. Suddenly, a thought struck me.
The homonym of “how pay” is “good match”, right?
Today's netizens...are so classy.
Seeing the other person's face quickly turn red, Liang Youwei was satisfied. She leaned close to Red Apple's ear and whispered in a whisper, "Stupid sister."
"……Hate."
"Hey, are you acting like a spoiled brat?"
"No!"
“Obviously!”
Seeing the two of them arguing and about to come to blows, Liang Ting'an, who had been observing the whole thing, could no longer tolerate it, but whispered, "The dinner is about to start, isn't Weiwei going to check her makeup?"
"Oh yes, thank goodness you reminded me, brother." Upon hearing this, Liang Youwei instantly diverted her attention, quickly retracted her mouth, and turned to look at the mirror.
Liang Jingyi was silent for a moment, then looked towards Liang Ting'an with a cold gaze. The other responded with a polite smile: "Jingyi too."
My sister's lip makeup was almost ruined, thanks to my timely reminder.
Liang Zhihui said nothing, silently deleted the comment "Weiwei only loves Liang Jingyi", and then turned his phone screen black.
OK. Fine.
Facing Liang Jingyi's "dead" gaze, Liang Youwei carefully checked her clothes from head to toe three times.
Absolutely perfect.
After repeatedly admiring her own beauty, she was finally dragged out of the suite by the expressionless Liang Jingyi.
To maintain a consistent style, Liang Jiangsheng booked the Western-style Quanling Hotel in advance for his two daughters' birthday parties. For a full week, the large, luxurious hotel, covering over ten acres in the imperial capital, belonged solely to the Liang sisters.
Although Quanling's luxurious decoration coincides with Liang Youwei's favorite French princess style, it is not easy to do fine decoration.
Large swaths of Freud, explorers, and blonde beauties were flown in from Ecuador, numbering tens of thousands. Numerous delicately dyed red bean paste, aurora borealis, and unicorns were also present. These delicately wrapped flowers blended with an equally diverse array of marine elements, including shells, pearls, and fish tails, and were scattered throughout the vast venue.
The design and implementation were personally handled by the most professional and top-level planning team in the capital. It took nearly three days just to decorate the hotel.
As for the process of the birthday party, it is still the same as usual, checking guest information, appetizers, host's speech, and formal dinner.
People in large families are particularly particular about respectability and privacy. Logically speaking, such private gatherings should not have any photographers who are not from the family present. However, Liang Youwei didn't know if it was her own illusion, she always felt that the photographer standing behind the camera was not very familiar.
"What are you looking at." Liang Jingyi turned his head, lowered his eyes and flicked the left ear of the person next to him, looking at the shining tasseled dangad, which echoed with his own right ear in the distance.
This was a birthday gift Ms. He prepared for her two daughters: a pair of fishtail-shaped sapphire earrings inlaid with sea pearls, with diamond tassels cascading down, light and translucent. The earrings were asymmetrical, and each daughter wore one, but the effect was surprisingly good.
On this side, Liang Youwei withdrew her gaze calmly: "It's nothing serious, I just feel that some of them look unfamiliar."
Liang Jingyi didn't think about it: "It's a big occasion today, and there are a lot of people here. It's normal that you can't recognize them all."
"Too."
There are indeed a lot of people coming today. I don’t know what Liang Jiangsheng was thinking. He actually booked the entire Quanling and invited everyone who has dealings with the Liang family.
Liang Jingyi didn't think much of it. He was also the future heir of the Liang family. Shouldn't the heir's first birthday after returning to his ancestral home be a good one? Although it cost a bit more, at least Liang Youwei liked it, and he was proud of it, wasn't it?
As a human being, you have to be vulgar, greedy and confident.
·
Liang Zhihui has high demands on the quality of his meals. He was afraid that the smell of roses would be too strong and would look out of place when mixed with all kinds of perfumed desserts, so he requested that all dyed roses be unscented and paired with a specially prepared refreshing fragrance with a strong ocean scent.
The hall, with a ceiling several meters high, was filled with a light and pleasant natural fragrance. Countless men and women dressed in haute couture clothes strolled by, socializing with smiles on their faces, their hair and clothes fragrant.
Half an hour into the banquet, Liang Jiangsheng took the stage, and everyone fell silent. A tall, straight-limbed man with the demeanor of a kind, considerate father, he delivered a heartfelt opening speech before gently inviting the two guests to the stage for a wish, candle-blowing, and cake-cutting ceremony.
The cameras prepared in advance officially started working, honestly recording everything in front of them.
The girl with the princess-like braid was the first to speak. She gracefully thanked the guests for coming. Her aquamarine organza mermaid dress contrasted sharply with the vibrant red rose-colored skirt beside her. Their magnetic connection was such that the moment the onlookers saw them, the phrase "complementing each other" suddenly came to mind.
As one of the protagonists of the banquet, Liang Jingyi naturally had a KPI for speaking. She had always been able to pretend in public, but now she was even more dignified and elegant. Her speech was neither hurried nor slow, her smile was neither humble nor arrogant, her back was straight, and her eyes were not looking sideways.
A nine-tiered fondant castle cake was slowly rolled up. He Jingshu looked at her two daughters with a beaming smile, patiently waiting for Liang Jingyi's "hymn singing" to finish before coming out to co-host the event with Liang Jiangsheng. They carefully lit all twenty-two candles and announced the proceedings: "Now, shall we invite the two little birthday girls to make a wish?"
She nodded to the on-site control personnel, indicating that their hotel lights should be turned off, leaving only the stars hidden among the flowers and shells.
The bright lights gradually faded away like the receding tide, and even the dimness was scattered and faded with a romantic color.
The microphone on the stage was muted, and the melodious orchestral music spread throughout the space.
Liang Youwei likes the wishing part the most. She closes her eyes first, crosses her hands and makes fists against her chest, silently reciting her wish in her heart.
Liang Jingyi didn't move at all, just staring at Liang Youwei with a raised mouth corner, his eyes fixed on her.
The orange color suits her very well, making her look like an angel, the kind that exists in classical European oil paintings.
However, the angel's wish was a bit long and she hadn't finished it yet. It seemed that he couldn't exchange glances with her under the flickering candlelight.
Sighing silently, Liang Jingyi imitated the people around him and made a wish with a smile for the first time in his life.
Please money, power, and Liang Youwei's love, all come.
There was peace on the stage and silence in the audience.
A man in an exquisite suit stood relatively near the front. When no one was looking at him, his eyes showed undisguised irritation.
She even wore the same pair of earrings to the dinner party. Using such childish and cheap means to declare "sovereignty" that does not exist at all, how unconfident of her, Liang Jingyi.
Qin Zhen, who had no pierced ears and could not wear earrings at all, was full of jealousy and felt like the grapes were sour because she couldn't eat them.
Burning with jealousy, he made his next decision.
【Author’s words】
I recently started watching the fourth episode of My Fair Princess (old version), and once again fell for Ziwei and Jinsuo [burst into tears][burst into tears][burst into tears] Jinsuo really loves and understands Ziwei, and Ziwei also respects and loves Jinsuo. This kind of beautiful relationship is so rare.
Diejia: I don't mean to say that Ziyan and Kangwei are not good, these two pairs are also super thoughtful! The main thing is that Ziwei is so perfect, she is simply goddess-level. Anyone under the crape myrtle flower is beautiful!!!
