Roland stepped forward and explained, "We are here to celebrate your birthday."
"How about it, are you surprised or not?" Han Shaoqing made an exaggerated gesture.
Xing Yan also took a step forward, "Congratulations, happy birthday."
Shelley's expression on the side was cold, but he was not rude and said, "Happy birthday."
At this moment, Yi Yao was so moved that her eyes couldn't help but feel sour. If they hadn't reminded her, she might have forgotten all about it.
Choking with sobs, she said, "Actually, today is not my birthday. It is the day when the Yi family picked me up."
After speaking, Yi Yao raised his eyes and scanned the crowd, "But I'm really happy that you can come."
Roland felt sorry for Yi Yao from the bottom of his heart, so he couldn't help but take more care of her on weekdays.
He patted Yi Yao's shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, let's not talk about these sad things. Let's see what we have prepared for you."
Later, under the leadership of Roland, Yi Yao saw the dining table behind them, which was filled with her favorite food.
Next to it, there are gifts prepared by Roland and others for Yi Yao, each of which is worth a lot of money.
Han Shaoqing took the lead in pointing to a red box and said, "I gave it to you. You will definitely like it."
During the conversation, Han Shaoqing sent the package to Yi Yao's arms, with a look of anticipation on his face, "Send it here and take a look."
Looking at Han Shaoqing's expression, Yi Yao suddenly felt like she didn't want to accept it. She always had a bad feeling.
However, unable to resist Han Shaoqing's gesture, Yi Yao had no choice but to open the gift box.
The next second, a doll with a sunflower head appeared from the box, shaking its head and singing.
The corner of Yi Yao's mouth twitched, and Han Shaoqing's eyes made her unable to compliment him. He was truly worthy of being a middle school boy.
"Does it look good? Do you like it?" Han Shaoqing did not notice Yi Yao's helplessness and was even more excited than the birthday girl.
Under Han Shaoqing's urgent attention, Yi Yao could only nod and gave a positive answer, "I like it."
Can she say she doesn't like it?
But no matter what, it was Han Shaoqing's wish, and Yi Yao couldn't refuse.
Then, the other three people also presented gifts to Yi Yao. Roland's was a necklace.
Shelley's is a pair of flat shoes suitable for pregnant women, as well as some other daily necessities.
Only when Xing Yan arrived, he actually took out a box made of red sandalwood and said, "Yao Yao, this is for you."
At a glance, he knew that this thing was worth a lot of money, and Yi Yao didn't know whether to take it or not.
Xing Yan saw Yi Yao's thoughts and said with a smile, "Actually, the box looks more delicate, but the contents inside are not valuable."
When Xing Yan said this, Yi Yao felt relieved, thanked him, and took the gift from the other person's hand.
Having said that, Shelley had seen with his own eyes what Xing Yan prepared for Yi Yao, which was a priceless bracelet.
Moreover, it belonged to the Xing family. Shelley's heart was particularly complicated. She could completely see how much Xing Yan cared about Yi Yao.
But she was powerless. She couldn't change who Xing Yan liked. All she could do was remain silent.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shelley is not in a high mood, and the sharp-eyed Roland has long seen the reason.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting darker, Roland took the lead in breaking the silence, "Let's eat cake, I have to go back to the Evernight Capital in a while."
"Okay, I'll cut it for everyone." Yi Yao took the initiative to step forward. This was her first time to have such a lively birthday.
At the end of the meal, Roland left because of something. Shelley did not want to stay here anymore and chose to stay with Roland.
This time, if Yi Yao still couldn't feel Shelley's hostility towards her, then she would really be an idiot.
His eyes came to Xing Yan, who had no intention of following Shelley, "Mr. Xing, you..."
Yi Yao was interrupted by Xing Yan just in the middle of his sentence, "Why, you want me to leave? I'm a guest."
When Xing Yan said this, Yi Yao had to swallow the words that reached the corner of her mouth and changed her tone.
"You can clearly see what Sister Shelley is thinking, why don't you accept it?" Yi Yao didn't want to kidnap Xing Yan morally, but just couldn't figure it out.
If she were a man, she would probably like someone like Shelley, but Xing Yan just didn't feel it.
Hearing this, Xing Yan swallowed a mouthful of food and said, "Emotions go in both directions. I only regard Shelley as a friend. If I show a little bit of ambiguity, wouldn't it be worse for her?"
Yi Yao fell into silence and had to admit that what Xing Yan said did make sense. As a bystander, it was really difficult for her to interfere.
Han Shaoqing, who was immersed in cooking at the side, couldn't help but said: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
The sudden inquiry made Yi Yao feel helpless and added a piece of chicken drumstick to Han Shaoqing's bowl, as if to coax a child.
"If you don't understand, don't interrupt. Eating is the most important thing."
Han Shaoqing simply ignored it and most of the whole piece of cake went into his stomach, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
After the birthday, Yi Yao sent Xing Yan and Han Shaoqing away, and the three of them drove to the door.
Xing Yan drove away and saw Han Shaoqing standing there, looking not far away.
Yi Yao glanced at it and asked doubtfully: "What are you looking at?"
"I seem to have met an acquaintance." Han Shaoqing responded blankly, "But I must have been mistaken, he is not here."
Yi Yao didn't know why, so she simply ignored Han Shaoqing's nagging and stood aside with her hands folded across her chest.
Finally, Han Shaoqing came to his senses and noticed Yi Yao's resentful eyes, which shocked him greatly.
"Ouyou, what are you doing? Look at me. I know I'm handsome, but don't fall in love with me." Han Shaoqing waved her hands hurriedly.
He didn't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about Yi Yao, after all, she was very likely to become his little aunt.
I'm afraid only Han Shaoqing's shamelessness could utter such narcissistic words.
Yi Yao couldn't help but rolled his eyes and issued an eviction order, "You'd better leave quickly, it's getting late."
After finally waiting for Han Shaoqing to leave, Yi Yao turned around and returned to the room. Suddenly, she felt empty in her heart.
Yi Yao took a deep breath, and after relaxing for a moment, he rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning the room.
That night.
When Yi Yao was taking out the trash, he heard several cat meows and followed the direction of the sounds.
In the grass not far away, a small white milk cat, only about one month old, was found, which melted Yi Yao's heart.
"Why are you here alone? Where is your mother?"
Yi Yao knelt down and rubbed the milk cat's head. The cat seemed to be spiritual and rubbed the palm of her hand.
Looking around, seeing no other cats, Yi Yao simply took it home.
I simply used paper towels to deal with the dirty things on the cat's body, and it was much cleaner than before.
