Three months before Xia Xi's birthday, Xu Yanfeng was already thinking about what birthday gift to give her.
Last year, when she celebrated her birthday, they were not together yet. He found out by looking at her circle of friends. Later, she sent him a message, but it was very late at that time. Apart from saying "Happy Birthday", he didn't have time to prepare a gift.
During breaks at work, Xu Yanfeng was always thinking about this matter.
He even called Tang Yizhou for advice. He had experience in this area. He had dated so many girlfriends that he couldn't count them on his hands. The highest record was four in one month, and on average he was with each girlfriend for less than ten days.
When Tang Yizhou heard that he was going to buy Xia Xi a birthday present, he said casually, "That's easy. Bags, perfume, clothes, jewelry, the more expensive they like. Especially sparkling jewelry, if you give them a set, they'll worship you."
Xu Yanfeng frowned immediately, thinking that he was too vulgar and not respectful enough to his girlfriend. He did not seek his opinion and decided to think about it slowly on his own.
Tang Yizhou asked, "What did she give you on your birthday?"
Xu Yanfeng looked down at his cuffs. He was wearing a navy blue shirt today. The square starry sky cufflinks were shining with a low-key light, and the color just matched the shirt. They were designed by Xia Xi himself and custom-made.
He wears it occasionally, but more often keeps it in a separate display case.
Tang Yizhou didn't hear a response and kept shouting, "Hello? Hello? Are you offline? Or did she not even give you a single feather?"
"No need to tell you." Xu Yanfeng hung up the phone and rubbed the edge of the cufflinks with his fingertips.
The four frames, the top and bottom in platinum, the left and right inlaid with diamonds, and in the center a slightly larger blue diamond with many facets, reflecting fine light like a deep starry sky. It's not as eye-catching as white diamonds, but rather low-key and restrained. She said it matched his temperament very well.
Her thought was more precious than the gift itself, so he didn't know what to give her.
Nothing is enough.
After get off work, Xu Yanfeng sat alone in the office, as if he had made up his mind. His eyes were full of determination and decisiveness. He found a number from his mobile phone address book and dialed it.
The call was quickly connected, and the caller addressed him as "Second Young Master Xu."
Xu Yanfeng tapped his fingers on the table. "Cui Lu, if you have time, please come to my apartment. I have something to ask of you."
Lawyer Cui is the gold medal of Jingming Law Firm and also his personal lawyer. He helps him operate some trust funds and provides personal services. He is not affiliated with the Xu Group.
Since the employer had a need, Cui Xingyuan naturally agreed without hesitation.
After the call ended, Xu Yanfeng gave Cui Xingyuan the address and left the office. He didn't drive himself today, so the driver took him back to the apartment near Nanjing University.

Cui Xingyuan was frightened by his employer and repeatedly asked him whether he was sober and not drunk or taking drugs.
Xu Yanfeng was helpless and speechless, and just told Cui Lu to do as he said.
Cui Xingyuan still hesitated, asking one last time if he had considered it carefully. Once the other party signed the contract, there was no going back on their word. Or perhaps he should add some additional conditions to the terms? For example, if the relationship broke down, the contract would be void.
Xu Yanfeng, in turn, advised him to be more clear-headed and figure out who the employer was.
In order to keep his job, Cui Xingyuan chose to compromise. He prepared the contract for him in a cold sweat. His eyes fell on the information of Party B. He asked rashly, "Did this lady named Xia Xi save your life?"
"She's my girlfriend."
Xu Yanfeng sat on the sofa chair by the window in the study. The sun had set and the faint afterglow came in through the window, which was not as bright as the bright lights in the room. But when he mentioned her, his eyes sparkled.
Cui Xingyuan really couldn't understand him: "Do you have something on her?"
Xu Yanfeng's eyebrows darkened slightly. He wondered if Lawyer Cui had been involved in too many lawsuits and had seen too many bad people, so he was always used to thinking the worst of them. "She's very good. This is my birthday gift to her."
Cui Xingyuan: “…”
Buddha, I am picking up a boyfriend, no, girlfriend, who is giving me shares of Xu Group.
The contract was printed out and placed on the desk. Before leaving, Cui Xingyuan, carrying his briefcase, said to Xu Yanfeng sincerely, "If anything goes wrong in the future, I can devote all my law firm's resources to help you get it back. Please trust me."
Xu Yanfeng's face was not good, but his upbringing made him maintain basic courtesy. He said calmly, "Thank you, you can go now."
Cui Xingyuan left with a sigh.

This was the first time Tang Yizhou stepped into Xu Yanfeng's apartment. He was carrying two bottles of aged red wine that he brought from home. Following behind him were two young men in uniform, each carrying a square thermal box.
"You hung up on me for no reason during the day, and then you didn't answer when I called again. What's wrong with you?"
Tang Yizhou swaggered in without changing his shoes, put two bottles of red wine on the dining table, and gestured to the man behind him.
Two young men swiftly placed the dishes from the thermal box on the dining table, bowed and extended their hands: "Please enjoy your meal."
Xu Yanfeng opened the door for Tang Yizhuo and then went to the window to make a phone call. He was talking to Xia Xi. He learned that she had finished dinner and was on the way to the library. She had some drawings to finish and would be busy until very late.
He told her not to overwork herself, and after she hung up, he walked from the window to the restaurant, phone in hand, and asked Tang Yizhou, "Why did you suddenly think of coming to my place?"
"Think about it yourself. How long has it been since you showed up at the brothers' gathering?" Tang Yizhou pulled out the cork, making a "pop" sound, and his lip curling movement was quite humorous. "Every time I call you, you always refuse because you have something to do. You shouldn't be so busy. I think you've forgotten your brothers because of a woman. What kind of magic does Xia Xi have?"
