Twenty-four years old... Tong Jiangxin looked at the pearl-colored balloons on the wall, yes, today is her birthday, she even forgot.
Liao Jianing patted Tong Jiangxin on the back, then stepped away. Li Mingyang stepped forward, gave Tong Jiangxin a hug, and then said with a faint smile, "Happy birthday, Jiang Xin."
"Thanks".
Tong Jiangxin raised the corners of her lips slightly. All this really happened so suddenly that she couldn't even react.
McGaro walked to Tong Jiangxin. He did not hug Tong Jiangxin like the other two. He just lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Tong Jiangxin and said, "I just came to say happy birthday to you. If you are unhappy, I will tell you right away."
Just leave.”
Tong Jiangxin looked at McGallo. He had not seen him for more than half a month. He had lost weight and looked a little haggard.
Feeling sad, Tong Jiangxin couldn't help but said, "We're all here, let's have a meal together."
Normally, Tong Jiangxin didn't even have a smile on her face, but McGaro was very happy, raised the corners of her lips, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay."
Tong Jiangxin felt even more uncomfortable. She quickly looked away, looked at the carefully decorated room, and said, "When did you start preparing?"
Liao Jianing smiled and replied, "I told Mingyang two months ago. We have hidden it quite well."
Li Mingyang smiled and replied, "No, last time I was with you in the Asia-Pacific living room, Jianing called me just to tell me about this."
Tong Jiangxin recalled the situation that day. It turned out that Jia Ning was celebrating her birthday, and she thought Jia Ning and Li Mingyang had an eye for each other.
Liao Jianing looked at Tong Jiang and said happily, "But you have to thank Mike for everything here today. He came early and arranged it himself. When Mingyang and I came here, he was almost busy."
Tong Jiangxin looked at McGarlo, who had a faint smile on his face and said nothing.
Liao Jianing knew what happened between Tong Jiangxin and McGaro, so she was busy trying to smooth things over and said, "Come on, stop standing, sit down."
There was a round table in the private room. The four of them sat down. Liao Jianing spoke first, "Jiang Xin, this is for you."
After that, she took out a beautifully packaged box from her bag, which looked like a watch box.
Tong Jiangxin took it and replied with a smile, "Thank you."
Li Mingyang handed Tong Jiangxin an i bag, which contained all the latest cosmetics for autumn.
Tong Jiangxin still smiled and thanked her.
Finally, when they arrived at McGalo, he sat in his seat without saying anything. Not only Liao Jianing and Li Mingyang, but even Tong Jiangxin turned to look at him.
McGaro smiled lightly and said, "I forgot to prepare a gift."
Li Mingyang laughed, and then said, "Ah? Forgot to prepare a gift?"
McGaro arrived earlier than anyone else and arranged everything carefully, so how could he forget to prepare birthday gifts?
Liao Jianing's peripheral vision glanced at Tong Jiangxin's side face, and she said, "Ha, it's normal to get confused and forget when you're busy."
Tong Jiangxin looked at McGarlo, and from his black pupils, she instantly understood that he had not forgotten, but deliberately refused to send it, because of what she said that day, "I don't want to owe you too much."
Feeling tight in her chest, Tong Jiangxin pretended to turn her head to talk to Liao Jianing and diverted the matter.
The four of them were still sitting together eating, chatting and joking as before, but Tong Jiangxin knew that it would never be the same again.
Halfway through the meal, there was a knock on the door, and then the pastry chef came in pushing a dining cart with a four-layer pink and white rose cake on top.
The rose petals climbed along the bottom of the first floor, like a spiral staircase, to the top. There were no words on it, but Tong Jiangxin knew that this cake was made by McGaro, because she told him once before that she liked it.
He makes some pastries by himself, and McGuarloh said that he also learned Western pastry professionally.
Sure enough, the pastry chef looked at Tong Jiang and said happily, "Miss Tong, our second young master spent an entire afternoon making this. I wish you a happy birthday."
Tong Jiangxin nodded and replied, "Thank you."
The pastry chef closed the door and left. Li Mingyang said, "Mike, I didn't know you had this skill."
McGaro smiled lightly and said, "I have learned it before and made it for fun. I don't know how it tastes. You guys try it."
After saying that, he picked up the knife on one side and cut off the top layer.
The cake was divided among the three of them. After taking a bite, Liao Jianing said, "Hey, it's delicious. It's more authentic than the pastry shop below my house."
Li Mingyang also echoed, but Tong Jiangxin lowered his gaze slightly and remained silent.
McGaro glanced at Tong Jiangxin, but he didn't say anything.
After eating the cake, the four of them sat together and chatted. Except for Tong Jiangxin, all three of them were drinking red wine. Tong Jiangxin said out loud, "I can't touch any wine, and you can't not let me drink a sip?"
Li Mingyang smiled lightly and replied, "If you come out with us from now on, you will have to enforce the alcohol ban."
Liao Jianing said, "Okay, look at her pitiful appearance. She has been drinking drinks these days. Today is her birthday, so I reluctantly let her have a drink."
After that, Liao Jianing poured Tong Jiangxin a glass of red wine. It was said to be a glass, but in fact it was just the bottom of the glass.
Tong Jiangxin pursed her lips, brought it to her mouth and took a sip.
Li Mingyang looked at McGarlo and said, "Why are you so busy with Asia-Pacific affairs recently? It seems to me that you have lost a lot of weight."
McGarloh replied, "It's because I have some cooperation projects with several big companies and I'm quite busy."
Li Mingyang nodded, and then said, "You are different from us. We just need to take care of ourselves. You still have to look at the entire Asia Pacific. It is indeed tiring, but be careful not to break your body."
Hearing the conversation between Li Mingyang and McGaro, Tong Jiangxin pretended to be eating the cake in front of her, lowering her head and saying nothing.
After a few beeps, the phone she kicked on her body began to vibrate. She took it out and saw that there was a string of phone numbers without names on it. Tong Jiangxin's eyes changed slightly and she pressed the hang up button.
Knowing that Lu Chengxi would definitely call again, Tong Jiangxin simply wanted to turn off her phone, but a text message appeared on the screen faster.
Tong Jiangxin opened it and saw a simple sentence on it: Do you want me to find you now?
Tong Jiangxin seemed to see Lu Chengxi's angry face. Why did he always find a way to hit her where it hurts?
Liao Jianing turned her head to see Tong Jiangxin holding her cell phone in a daze. She whispered, "What's wrong?"
Tong Jiangxin took back her cell phone and said, "It's okay, I'll go out and make a call."
After that, she got up and walked out.
Arriving near an unoccupied safety ladder, Tong Jiangxin dialed the phone back.
