Chapter 95
She never knew what day of the month her birthday was and never had a birthday
But he gave himself such a surprise
It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t touched
Two feet away in front of her was a very low circular table with a surprisingly huge twenty-two tier cake
Although the height of each layer was not high, An Xiao Nuan counted that there were still twenty-two layers
“I’m afraid it’s too high for us to reach” He explained from the side
An Xiaonuan turned back, “Thank you, Jiao Yang”
Lin Jiao Yang tapped her nose with his finger, “What are you thanking for, no need to thank, come on, let’s set up the candles”
He handed her the candles, and the two of them set up twenty-two together
Then one by one, they lit them
“Make a wish” Lin Jiao Yang took an umbrella and stood there to block the wind to prevent the candles from going out
An Xiao Nuan hurriedly closed her eyes and put her hands together
This was her first birthday after living for so long, soon, the wish was made, how could Lin Jiao Yang not guess what she wished for
Three wishes, none of them were for herself
“Come on, let’s blow together”
The two finished blowing out the candles, then each cut a portion, sat on the sofa and started eating
Only just after two bites, An Xiaonuan had a diamond ring in her mouth
She took it out of her mouth and her eyes went straight towards Lin Jiao Yang
“Don’t give it back to me, just keep it at your place first, okay?”
Before she could say anything, he was the first to say so
“It’s really just for safekeeping”
He nodded and set it on her finger, “If I don’t want it, please keep it for me until, I ask for it back again”
If there really was a day to reclaim it, perhaps it would be the day he put it back on her at the wedding
An Xiaonuan looked at the dazzling diamond ring, unable to speak
At this time, Lin Jiao Yang did not know who said to whoever was on the other end of the phone: it can start
A few moments later, fireworks rang out in the sky not far in front of them
The excitement inside An Xiao Nuan’s heart was not something that could be spoken
Her eyes looked at these fireworks that presented the most beautiful but instantly went up in smoke, and she instantly realized a truth
Some people, however, are destined to be fireworks, just passing through, but can never be beautiful to the end
Until the last firework appeared, An Xiao Nuan stood up
Not for anything else, this last firework was actually her portrait, which could be seen at a glance, and next to it were three words: I love you
This last finale must be very expensive
An Xiao Nuan turned back and met his eyes
Her mind was actually grieving for herself at this moment
If she also loved Lin Jiao Yang, then wasn’t it, they could live together outside, leaving Lin mother aside, still quite happy, wasn’t it?
But right now, it was not possible
“Jiao Yang, thank you for giving me my first birthday, it’s just-”
He stood up, “Xiao Nuan!”
An Xiao Nuan froze at such a shout from him
“What?”
“Xiao Nuan, you don’t have to rush to give me an answer, we are still young, we still have a long time, I’m willing to wait, I’m willing to wait until you’ve had enough fun, have seen through this society, have seen through the cold and warmth of human feelings, and are willing to give your hand to me, and then put it in the palm of my hand”
An Xiaonuan’s tearful eyes, her nose was a little sour, such Lin Jiao Yang gave her an impression that was completely detached from the initial state
Such Lin Jiao Yang was not like him
“But, I only realized now, Jiao Yang, I’m not worthy of you at all”
Lin Jiao Yang lightly embraced her, “It’s me who doesn’t deserve you, Xiao Nuan, go back”
He took the initiative to end the topic
An Xiao Nuan looked at the grand cake with some pity, “We just ate two pieces, it’s a pity to throw it away like this, when I came here I saw that there are sanitation workers on the street, let’s give these to them, okay?”
Lin Jiao Yang smiled, “This is your cake, at your disposal”
An Xiao Nuan nodded, “Then you send someone to give it to them, it’s not a pity to eat it, it’s a pity to throw it away”
He took her shoulders and walked into the elevator
When standing at the front door of the Gu residence again, An Xiao Nuan took the diamond ring off her finger, she could tell that this diamond ring was very meaningful, and it was a unique shape on top of the ring
She held it in her hand and thought for a while before walking in
The man in black closed the door and said next to her, “Miss An, the young master asked you to go to his room”
“When did he say that?”
“Half an hour ago”
An Xiao Nuan said in a low voice, “Okay, I know”
She went up the stairs, the door was hidden
Pushing the door open, no one was inside, and the sound of rushing water came from the restroom
An Xiao Nuan sat on the edge of the bed, quietly waiting for him to come out
After a while, he did come out, wiping his head while walking
Seeing her sitting there not knowing what she was thinking, Gu Changqing was inexplicably a bit angry, “Late at night, who did you go out to see?”
An Xiaonuan calmly said, “A friend”
“It’s Lin Jiao Yang, right?”
An Xiaonuan didn’t deny it
“What did you guys do?”
An Xiaonuan raised her eyes, “What do you expect us to do?”
Gu Changqing choked, “I wish? You also think too highly of yourself”
An Xiaonuan didn’t respond, then she finally said
“Maybe, soon you’ll tell me to get lost, or tell me never to appear in front of you again, but I’ll still say, after such a long time, Gu Changqing, do you really think I’m just a plaything for you?”
He narrowed his eyes, his complexion not to be looked at directly, “Aren’t you and I aware of such a transparent relationship?”
She laughed, then stood up, “Do you want me to accompany you tonight?”
“Go take a shower”
An Xiao Nuan walks towards the restroom, she walks extremely slowly, the ripples of her heart are still gradually calming down
Why, did she just have the thought of asking him if she and Cao Xintian were different in his eyes? How different?
Maybe it’s not a short period of time with him, there will be other emotions on the verge of leaving
An Xiao Nuan washed herself extraordinarily clean, she scrubbed her hair and came out, he was already lying on the bed with his eyes closed
She stood by the bed and called out, “Changqing?”
He slightly opened his eyes and with the afterglow his long arm reached out to embrace her on the bed, his chin rubbing in her neck
She didn’t move, and he didn’t move either
The two just lay there, under the light, An Xiao Nuan turned her head, his ears were red and transparent, his eyelashes were long and closed, as if he was asleep
“Changqing?”
“Uh-huh” Lazily, he opened his mouth and hummed out a word in his nasal voice
“In your heart, am I different from Cao/Miss Cao?” She finally asked the first words of more than transparent status on this quiet night
“It is different”
An Xiao Nuan was still about to ask him how it was different, when his next words made An Xiao Nuan completely sober in this brief time of losing herself
“There is no comparison between you and her, does that make sense?” He opened his eyes, the corners of his lips brought a wisp of coldness
