Chapter 48 Goodnight Baby
Since that day.
Wen Song would spend his free time thinking about what birthday gift to give Guan Ju.
After much deliberation, I finally decided to give them a pair of lion head-shaped cufflinks.
The design brand is relatively niche, but the craftsmanship is exquisite, which is quite suitable for Alpha's style. The price is in the six figures, which is still considered cheap.
I had sent Guan Sui some cookies before and knew her address. After the cufflinks arrived, Wen Song made some small desserts, packed them separately in a gift box, and sent them over together.
Wen Song happened to be working overtime at the company the night the package arrived.
"Beep beep beep—"
My phone, which was lying next to me, vibrated.
Wen Song shifted her gaze from the computer screen to the caller ID on her phone.
—Guan Ju.
Call him at this time.
They must need to talk to him about something.
Worried that the work she had completed upon returning might mysteriously disappear due to network or computer issues, Wen Song skillfully saved the completed program file, minimized the page, and placed it in the status bar.
I got up, pushed back my office chair, picked up my phone, and walked towards the break room.
Just as I swiped to answer the call, Alpha's cool voice came from the other end: "Hmm? I thought you were busy and was about to hang up."
Many colleagues were still working overtime in the office. Wen Song held her phone to her lips with her hand half-bent, and said in a low voice, "They are indeed busy and still working overtime."
Guan Ju chuckled briefly: "Still working overtime at this hour?"
Wen Song glanced at the time.
22:23.
"Yes," he replied.
"Is there something you need calling me at this hour?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Song heard a very soft sound of plastic shells being squeezed, as if the other person had picked up something and was squeezing it in their hand.
"I received the package."
"You have great taste. The cufflinks are beautiful, and I really like them."
"I ate one dessert, and it tasted really good, even better than any dessert I've ever had before."
Tell Wen Song her first feelings after receiving the gift, sentence by sentence.
I even took a picture of myself wearing the cufflinks and posted it on WeChat.
To use a popular phrase online these days, it's called "emotional value response".
In the past, Zhao Mingzhuo would just leave the gifts he received in his walk-in closet and rarely take them out, where they would gather dust and be squeezed into the corner.
"Whatever you like is fine with me." Wen Song tried to control her rapidly beating heart.
Knowing that Guan Ju couldn't hear his racing heartbeat over the phone, he felt a little nervous for some reason and gently bit his lip.
Guan Ju chuckled softly, "I like it."
“Wear these cufflinks when you go to your boyfriend’s engagement party in a couple of days.”
Wen Song: ""
This is very Alpha.
wrong.
This should be very important.
He was capricious and willful, and every word he uttered left Wen Song speechless.
She's too direct and obvious, showing no remorse for stealing someone else's boyfriend. There's a subtle sense that she's competing with the real boyfriend and trying to assert her dominance over him. She's always doing things that are subtle yet manipulative.
"Whatever you want," Wen Song said.
Anyway, Zhao Mingzhuo would never know that those were cufflinks he had given her.
Besides, by then the other party will already be engaged, and there will be no emotional ties between them, so they naturally won't feel nervous about being discovered to have given each other cufflinks.
"Did he talk to you about breaking up?" Guan Sui asked casually.
Wen Song walked to the window and gazed at the night view.
"No."
"Send me a message saying you need to go to Silver Lake Mansion tomorrow."
Guan Ju's tone sounded somewhat cheerful.
"Is that so?"
"If he........."
Wen Song knew what the other person was going to say before he finished, so he interrupted and said, "No, that won't happen."
"I will not be anyone's lover."
"I will never interfere in anyone's marriage."
He didn't care about any of the Alpha's misbehavior before they got married, and besides, their relationship was purely contractual, without any emotional involvement.
Guan Ju said with satisfaction, "I'll be waiting for your good news."
Wen Song's fingers, which were holding the phone, bent and straightened, while her other hand rested on the windowsill, enjoying the evening breeze.
"good."
"I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
"I need to finish up the last bit of work before I can go home."
Guan Sui hummed in agreement and then said with a hint of a smile, "How ambiguous. Are you proactively sharing and reporting your itinerary to me?"
Wen Song wanted to refute, saying "No."
But he did say those words on his own initiative, so I simply shut my mouth and let it go.
"Good night." Wen Song finally uttered these two words in a slightly dry tone.
Guan Ju chuckled softly: "Goodnight, baby."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Song stared at the voice message that appeared on the WeChat chat interface.
They talked on the phone for almost ten minutes.
and--
Guan Ju called him "Baby" again.
Who is more ambiguous in their relationship?
Wen Song patted her cheeks, exhaled, and returned to her workstation to continue finishing up the remaining tasks.
I didn't finish work and go home until almost 11:30.
The next day was the weekend.
Wen Song told Grandpa Wen in advance that he had something to do during the day and would not be back until the evening. Grandpa Wen understood that young people have private social interactions and agreed.
We waited until we arrived at Silver Lake Mansion by taxi.
He stood by the iron gate, gazing at the entire villa for about a minute, before finally stepping inside.
