Lù Yue’an received it politely. “Thank you, Brother Lin Yi.”
Lin Yi turned his head to look at Zhao Junli. His face expressed the words: Will this do?
Zhao Junli wanted to go over and sock him, but fortunately, he did not cause any disturbance publicly; this was really as good as it could get.
“Look at how compatible these two children are.”
“Indeed, they go so well together.”
The people around them were all talking to each other, and Ltl Yue’an’s face turned red with embarrassment. The situation was already so bad that to make it worse made no real difference. It was as if others were not talking about him. He just stood there posing like a statue, because he noticed that someone was taking photos not far away.
Lù Yue’an cut the cake and looked up, peering into the distance. Lu Qing waved at her and quietly walked out.
Her smile dissipated for an instant, but she quickly recovered and spoke softly with the person beside her.
Lin Yi could not help but perk his brows when he saw her changing faces like a master.
Tsk, this two-faced little girl.
The party for Lu Ning had already concluded. After sending the guests off, Shen Yunci asked her to go and rest.
lav on the bed and sent a message to Gu Chen and the others.
Mainly, it was because she had been suspicious about something since last time.
Lu Zhi had said on his call that Shen Yunci’s injury was no accident; Lu Ning was worried, and wanted Gu Zi to help investigate.
She had wanted to investigate it herself before, but after this incident she came to understand something important.
It was better to trouble the people around her if there were those she could rely on. Otherwise, she might lose her own life if she went out by herself.
She was quite happy now. It would be better to stay alive for at least a few more years.
Just as she was sending the message, a notification for a new message popped up on her phone.
It was Huo Jinyan.
Lu Ning took a look at the message.
Huo Jinyan sent her a few words: [Happy Birthday].
Huh ? How did he know my birthday?
Lu Ning was a little puzzled as she watched the cakes falling across the screen. The cakes finally stopped and she was about to reply, when notifications for more messages appeared. There was a flurry of new messages, and at the end, he simply sent out two words: [A Present].
Lu Ning: ?
When she tapped on it to take a look—Good lord! A digital copy of the test papers!
Can I reject this present?
She did not want to reply at all.
At the same time, she recalled something she wanted to ask Huo Jinyan; but then, she heard footsteps outside the door.
Lu Qing had probably returned.
From the sounds of it, he even walked to her door.
Lu Ning tilted her head and listened; he was indeed at her door.
She could see a shadow in the crack under the door.
However, Lu Qing did not knock on the door. He simply left something at the door and left.
Lu Ning got out of bed and opened the door.
There was a small box at the door. She squatted down and picked it up; leaning against the door frame, she looked at Lu Qing, who had yet to go back to his room. “Is this for me?
Lu Qing did not expect her to come out at this time.
“Yes, a birthday present.” opened it to take a look; it was a silver bracelet, decorated with a
string of intricate butterflies and flowers all around. It looked very beautiful.
Lu Ning looked up at Lu Qing. “Is this what Lù Yue’an didn’t want, or is it just for me?
Lu Qing was stunned. “It’s just for you.”
However, her words also carried with it a hint of sarcasm, which made Lu Qing uncomfortable, so he added, “An’an thought it was for her.”
This meant that he did not give it to Ltl Yue’an even though she wanted it.
Lu Ning grasped another important detail. “You’re saying that Lù Yue’an has seen this before?
Lu Qing did not understand what she meant by that, but he nodded.
Lu Ning looked at the bracelet in her hand and smiled. That smile seemed a little malicious.
She perked her eyebrows and looked at Lu Qing. “Thanks.”
Then, she turned around and entered her room, closing the door behind her.
Lu Qing:
