183 birthday gift
Dinner was a buffet on the top floor of the hotel. Shushu found that people who are allergic to seafood are really not suitable for coming to the beach because there are many tempting seafood that can only be seen but not eaten. This is the biggest torture for a foodie.
However, Ling Qiao was prepared for her, so he gave her all kinds of meat to eat enough. She was a veritable carnivore, the kind that could not be enjoyed by meat.
"Is it tasty?"
"Uh-huh."
"Look at you, you can eat after stuffing your mouth, and you don't even bother to talk to me."
Shushu bulged his mouth and said with a smile, "You eat too, don't waste it."
Ling Qiao took a sip of red wine, picked up the knife and fork and began to break down a piece of 700-year-old beef, "Well, we must make a profit, come and give it to you."
"Yeah, you eat too."
It seemed that I had never eaten so much. Finally, there was a thick layer of empty plates on the table. When the waiter came to collect the empty plates, Shushu felt a little embarrassed. She suddenly said, "Look at you, you can eat so much."
Ling Qiao was embarrassed on the spot. He suffered a loss in silence and had to say, "Yes, I have a lot of food."
After eating and drinking, the two walked out of the restaurant for a walk. They could not see the sea at night, but they could still hear the sound of waves and the sea breeze blew, carrying a salty smell.
The top floor of the hotel is like an air world, with restaurants, swimming pools, gyms, and leisure areas. They walk along the winding pebbles trail. There are many young people playing in the pool next to it, splashing water on the trail from time to time.
Ling Qiao said funnyly: "Do you want to go down and learn?"
"No, my stomach is full of flesh, it's solid, it's going to sink."
"Haha, I'm here, what are you afraid of?" Ling Qiao pulled her arm.
"I really can't go if I don't go."
"Oh, I'm so timid when I see water."
"Well, I'm a land duck."
When you reach the end of the trail, Shushu stepped on the three steps and looked down and saw a milky white beach. The winding and beautiful coastline is the most beautiful scenery.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." She exclaimed sincerely.
Ling Qiao also walked up and turned to look at her, "Shushu, I have a gift to give to you."
Shushu said in surprise: "There are still gifts? But I was not prepared at all, so wouldn't you lose a lot?"
Ling Qiao spit out: "I'm with you, the best gift."
Shu Shu smiled awkwardly and turned to look into the distance. She was not used to such sweet words. She and him no longer had this qualification.
Ling Qiao lowered her head and took out a brocade box from her beach pants' pocket and gave it to her, "Birthday Master, I've received a gift."
Shushu paused for a moment, looking at the exquisitely packaged brocade box, she didn't dare to accept it, "What is it?"
"You still choose a birthday gift from someone else to give you?"
"No, I..."
Ling Qiao picked up her hand without saying a word and stuffed it into her hand, "Please accept it, I rarely give you a gift."
Shushu could only continue and slowly opened the brocade box. It was a rose gold diamond-set bracelet with xx. The diamonds on the bracelet were particularly shining and moving. Shushu closed the brocade box and said immediately: "It's too expensive, I can't accept it."
"Check it, the gift I gave was not worth taking back. If you refuse, it would be too disgrace to give me face."
"But……"
Ling Qiao took the initiative to open the brocade box and took out the bracelet, grabbed her hand and wanted to put it on.
"I don't wear it, I don't like wearing it, you know."
Ling Qiao was unwilling to force it. He handed the bracelet to her and said, "If you don't wear it, you won't wear it. However, I won't take back the gift I gave you. If you don't want it, it's okay to throw it away or give it to someone."
Shu Shu was embarrassed and looked at Ling Qiao's sincere eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll accept it, thank you."
Ling Qiao's mouth tilted, picked up the bracelet and put it on her left hand. He held her hand and looked left and right, "Well, I said it must be good. When I bought it, I took a look."
Shu Shu smiled slightly, "I don't know you yet. I just look at the most conspicuous position in the window, and then I'll say something and take a look."
"Well, you know me, I know you know me the best."
The two of them teased each other one by one. In the eyes of others, they were clearly couples in love, not like divorced people.
When she returned to her room, how many unread text messages were on Shushu's phone were all birthday greetings sent to her by her former classmates and colleagues. She didn't wear her phone when she went out today, but she didn't expect that everyone was thinking about her.
Shu Shu was lying on the bed, thanking her one by one, and she saw Shen Xiaoxuan send her another message: "Have you had fun with Ling Qiao in the Maldives?"
She replied: "It's okay, I'll go back tomorrow."
"I know, Ling Qiao gave an order to join in the fun at the airport tomorrow. He is afraid of paparazzi."
"Thanks a lot."
"What's the hard work? Just be happy. Come back and chat. I'm still taking photos."
"Yeah, let's talk later when you go back."
As soon as he finished sending the text message, Xia Tianyang called directly, and Shushu immediately answered it, "Hey, Xia Tian."
"Are you not at home?"
"Well, I'm outside, why?"
"Oh, it's okay. I heard that today is your birthday. I want to ask you to come out and celebrate. In order to surprise you, I ran to your house and rang the doorbell, but ended up being turned away."
"Is that so? I'm sorry, I'm leaving too fast and didn't have time to tell you, thank you."
"It's okay..." Xia Tianyang's tone became a little cautious, "Shushu, are you with... Ling Qiao?"
Shushu said silently: "Yeah, yes."
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then a laugh came again, "Haha, I understand, then you have fun."
"We'll be back tomorrow, maybe we'll go to the company the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, okay, see you the day after tomorrow."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Shu Shu suddenly felt that Xia Tianyang was weird and couldn't say anything, but she always felt that his tone was wrong. He usually didn't have such ink traces.
However, these things are not enough to make her worry. Maybe Xia Tianyang encountered some troubles at work. It was under great pressure to start a business alone at a young age.
She reached out and touched the bracelet on her wrist and looked at it carefully. It was very delicate. She raised her wrist and looked at it from various angles. The more she looked, the better she looked.
The bitterness that has come these days has gradually dissipated, replaced by a small sense of sweetness. She has more confidence to wait for the day when Ling Qiao fulfills her promise.
In fact, Shu Shu didn't hate Tang Youqing very much, but she couldn't forgive her, nor could she forgive her.
She knew that all this was because Tang Youqing loved Ling Qiao. It was nothing wrong to love someone. However, she could not forgive her when she learned from Ling Qiao that her miscarriage was related to Tang Youqing. It was nothing wrong to love someone, but because she couldn't get this love, she became burying her conscience and was unreasonable. That was really impossible to forgive.
Thinking about it this way, Tang Youqing is also very pitiful.
Another text message came in from Ling Qiao, "Go to bed early, the plane tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, good night."
"Good night."
