Jiang Yao smiled inwardly—thinking that it was most likely impossible. Even if she were pregnant for ten months, the baby would only be two months a year from that night. What else would a two-month-old baby know other than drinking milk and sleeping? How would he know to blow the birthday candles for his father?
The two of them ate a small piece of cake each. When Lu Xingzhi went to the kitchen, Jiang Yao divided the remaining cake into several portions and gave them to their neighbors.
Lu Xingzhi’s phone was so busy at eight in the evening that he had almost no time to rest. Another call came in almost immediately after the previous one was answered.
All of his brothers had called to express their best wishes to him. They chatted with Lu Xingzhi for a time after they wished him a happy birthday. Everyone was speculating on how Lu Xingzhi had spent his birthday with Jiang Yao. They were also curious about Jiang Yao’s birthday present for him.
Lu Xingzhi had the rare tolerance to deal with them one by one because he was in a pleasant mood. When someone asked him what present Jiang Yao had arranged for him, he would say proudly, “My wife wished me a happy birthday early in the morning. As for my present, my wife folded 1,001 paper cranes by hand. She left early this morning for the city to borrow someone’s kitchen to bake a birthday cake for me.”
Even Jiang Yao, who was listening on the side, trembled uncontrollably when she heard his pompous tone. No one could resist the words of a sullen person.
After Lu Xingzhi had finished answering everyone’s calls, he went into the study room and took a pair of scissors to open each present, one by one. Jiang Yao accompanied him throughout the process and observed the gifts that his wealthy brothers had given him.
Jiang Yao was shocked when she saw the car keys and cash in the boxes—cars, watches, and even cash gifts.
“I feel like you can enjoy your birthday a few times a year.”
Jiang Yao patted the box filled with cash.
While they were talking, she noticed Lu Xingzhi took a few clothes from a box. Her eyes were wide open.
“That… that… who the f*ck gave that?”
Jiang Yao was furious.
When Lu Xingzhi spotted the garments, he tossed the other items aside. He examined the signature on the package. “It’s from my sister-in-law. She gets me.”
Jiang Yao was dumbfounded. She snatched the items from Lu Xingzhi’s hands and shoved them back into the box. She roared in her heart, ‘I have done so much to help you, and yet you have done so much to hurt me. Can we still be friends?’
It was Lu Xingzhi’s birthday. Why would she give such embarrassing lingerie to him?
So, had he wanted to trick her for a hundred years?
Lu Xingzhi took the item back with great care. “Sister-in-law, you have good taste. Which one are you going to wear tonight?”
“Not a single one!”
Jiang Yao roared.
“Naked?”
Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows. “That’s not very good, is it?”
Jiang Yao did not believe that Lu Xingzhi did not understand what she meant. That guy was deliberately misinterpreting her answer.
Jiang Yao snatched the items, rolled them up, and ran all the way back to the bedroom to hide them. Only then did she return to the living room and urged her husband to open the next present. Then, she asked, “Will Big Brother send Sister Ruoran to the airport tomorrow?”
“No,” Lu Xingzhi replied. “Big Brother is on a business trip today. He won’t return to Jindo City until a week later.”
“They were husband and wife once. Why won’t he send her to the airport?” Jiang Yao asked. “Is his business trip that important? Perhaps he doesn’t know that she’s leaving tomorrow?”
