Chapter 33 Lu Xiaoyun's Gift
"I like it very much. Thank you, Yixiao." I pretended to be touched, took the ring, stood up and touched Shen Yixiao's face briefly.
He was relieved, "I was just worried that you wouldn't like it."
"I like all the gifts you give me." I replied with a smile on my face.
These are all money. In my previous life, I was completely immersed in the pain of infertility. No matter what gifts Shen Yixiao gave me, I couldn't be happy.
Now I think clearly that money is always more reliable than people.
Shen Yixiao's eyes softened, he leaned over and kissed me on the lips, "I will give you everything you want, as long as I have it."
He is too conceited and cannot give a sincere heart and loyalty.
I nodded, "Yeah."
After breakfast, we went to the company together. When people saw us together, they couldn’t help but look at us a few more times. Many people looked at me with envy. I know they all want to have a rich, handsome man who loves them.
But they can't see what is behind the happiness.
Shen Yixiao went to his office, and I went to work in the Human Resources Department.
Since Manager He didn't assign me any work, I spent most of my time playing on my phone and looking up some high-end imitation information.
I want to turn everything Shen Yixiao gave me into money, but he can't find out.
Just when I was busy as hell, a notice was sent out in the company group requiring everyone to work overtime. Everyone else sighed, and then one by one the big red envelopes directly dispelled their resentment.
I didn't grab it, I just concentrated on looking up information.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, I came out of the tea room and found that the Human Resources Department was dark, as if the power had been cut off.
"What's going on?" I took out my cell phone and prepared to turn on the flashlight.
"Happy birthday!"
Following a loud shout, someone turned on the flashlight first. In the slightly dim light, Lu Xiaoyun appeared in front of me pushing an exquisite cake.
She had a forced smile on her face, “Happy birthday, ma’am, this is what Mr. Shen prepared for you.”
Others started to cheer. Some put a birthday hat on me, some put candles on it, and some turned on their lighters. Before I could react, I had already blown out the candles and cut the cake.
"Happy birthday, wife." Shen Yixiao walked out of the crowd, holding flowers in his hands. His handsome and affectionate face seemed a little blurry under the light of several flashlights.
The atmosphere suddenly reached a climax, and everyone exclaimed in amazement.
I took the flowers and asked amidst the noise, "Thank you, why don't you turn on the lights?"
Shen Yixiao put his arm around my shoulders, kissed me lightly on the forehead, and then turned my body to face the French window.
The commercial building opposite suddenly lit up, and a line of words appeared on the huge screen: Little Moon, happy birthday, I love you.
Countless pink love bubbles popped up, and in the 3D visual effect, the bubbles rushed in all directions. The people around me picked up their phones to record this romantic scene, but I was the only one who stood there motionless.
"Honey, I promised you before that when I had money, I would rent the biggest screen in the city on your birthday and confess my love to you in front of everyone. I did it."
Shen Yixiao’s voice rang in my ears.
Those were all dreams I had when I was young. In those happy and sweet times, every word I said casually was like a solemn wish, and Shen Yixiao secretly kept them in his heart.
He completed what he promised me step by step, and also stabbed me in the back step by step.
My eyes were wet and my throat was choking. Regret and resentment were entangled in my heart. My mind was in a mess and I couldn't figure out what emotion I was feeling at the moment.
Shen Yixiao thought I was touched, he wiped my tears and said, "Don't cry, I will slowly fulfill every promise I made in the future."
His love words made everyone excited, except Lu Xiaoyun, who looked pale and ugly, and looked at us like a walking corpse.
In this noisy moment, I noticed that Lu Xiaoyun had left. This scene must have been very jarring for her.
The building opposite would be lit all night long, and we couldn't watch it here all night, so after a while, someone turned on the lights, Shen Yixiao announced that everyone could go home, and he took my hand and left.
When we arrived at the parking lot, Shen Yixiao and I were about to get in the car when Lu Xiaoyun appeared out of nowhere with a wrapped gift box in her hand.
Seeing her, Shen Yixiao's mood was obviously tense, and he stared at Lu Xiaoyun with a slightly frown.
He would only become so alert when the three of us were alone, or when Lu Xiaoyun and I were alone.
After all, the two best assistants, Meng Zicheng and Liang Feng, are no longer here.
"Secretary Lu, is there anything wrong?" He asked first, his tone somewhat distant.
"Boss Chen, today is my wife's birthday. I prepared a gift for her. I was embarrassed to give it to her with so many people just now, so I waited here for you to come down." Lu Xiaoyun handed the gift to me with a pure smile on her face. "Happy birthday, my wife. Boss Chen is so good to you. I was so envious just now!"
I took the gift, turned my head and glanced at Shen Yixiao, and the corners of my lips curled up a little, "Thank you Secretary Lu, isn't your boyfriend also very good to you? He will definitely not let you envy others."
Shen Yixiao's face darkened a little, he held my hand more tightly, and sent me to the car, "Okay, Secretary Lu, we have to go back."
Lu Xiaoyun's eyes were filled with resentment, but it disappeared in an instant, "Okay, I'll go back too."
Then Shen Yixiao stuffed me into the passenger seat, and he quickly got in the car and drove out of the parking lot.
Along the way, I held the gift Lu Xiaoyun gave me, guessing what was inside. Shen Yixiao would turn his head and look at me from time to time, as if he was worried that I would see something I shouldn't see after opening the gift box.
When they got home, Shen Yixiao finally couldn't help it. He took the gift box and threw it into the trash can. "Wife, you don't need anything. There's no need to accept such a gift. Secretary Lu's financial ability is average, so the gift should be just that."
“But that was someone else’s gift, I still don’t want to throw it away like this.” I picked it up from the garbage again and opened it directly in front of Shen Yixiao.
Shen Yixiao's eyes were fixed on my movements. When the gift box was opened, there was a glass music box inside. It was very delicate and small. After turning on the switch, the elk inside would run in the snow, and snowflakes would fly all over the sky, which was very beautiful. The sound of the piano floated out, which was pleasant to the ears.
"It turns out to be a music box." I said in surprise.
Shen Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, "If you like this kind of gadget, I can give you one every day."
I shook my head, "No need, this is a birthday present, it has a different meaning."
Shen Yixiao said nothing more and just went to pour himself some water.
Finally, I placed the music box on the bedside. Shen Yixiao was speechless by my action, but under my insistence, he did not stop me.
