Yun Qiao asked him again why he got into trouble with Cheng Li, and he didn't hear the two of them fighting, why he was injured, etc.
Xi Lanting refused to admit it at all: "Who told you that we had a fight?"
"Second brother Cheng said it."
"Then you go ask him and ask me what I did? I didn't fight." Xi Lanting said.
Beating people does happen.
Yun Qiao shut up.
The car arrived at the hospital and after changing the medicine, Li Hong told Xi Lanting to remove the sutures in a few days. Then everything was fine and the wound healed well.
When she returned, Xi Lanting asked her again: "Are you free tomorrow?"
"No time, I have something to do tomorrow." Yun Qiao said.
The driver was Xi Rong. He glanced at Xi Lanting and Yun Qiao out of the corner of his eye and wanted to say something. But seeing his master's lazy look, it was obvious that he didn't want to mention it, and Xi Rong didn't dare to say anything.
When the car was about to arrive home, Xi Lanting asked again: "What time will you be back tomorrow?"
Yun Qiao saw him asking twice and was a little curious: "What day is tomorrow?"
Xi Lanting: "You don't answer me, but you ask me instead, what's the decency of you?"
Yun Qiao: "..."
"There are no days." Xi Lanting added.
The eldest lady was unpredictable and difficult to take care of. Yun Qiao said directly: "I have something to do all day tomorrow. I may not come back at night and will stay at Qian's house."
This was her plan. Staying at Qian's house was better than coming back at midnight.
Xi Lanting sat silently and said no more.
When the car arrived at Xi Mansion, he dropped Yun Qiao off at the fork in the road. He did not let Yun Qiao sit in his yard or have dinner as usual.
Yun Qiao went out for a walk and then went back. She was afraid that the female relatives of the Xi family would make irresponsible remarks, so when she went back, she climbed over the wall from the backyard, and then climbed up to the second floor through the long window on the side.
For dinner, Jingxin secretly cooked a bowl of noodles for her, which served as both supper and midnight snack.
Xi Lanting returned to the yard, read for a while, and planned to go to bed directly.
Xi Zun didn't follow him to the hospital and didn't know the whole story. He asked Xi Lanting: "Master Qi, when will the private room be reserved for tomorrow night? Nowadays, young people have to eat Western cakes on their birthdays. Do you want to prepare one for you?"
Xi Lanting raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly: "No need."
Xi Zun understood and asked again: "The box is set at seven o'clock in the evening, is that okay?"
"No need." Xi Lanting said again.
Xi Zun was puzzled: "Huh?"
"go out!"
Xi Zun exited, still confused and unclear.
He went to ask Xi Rong what his master meant, and Xi Rong told him what Yun Qiao said.
"...Seventh Master never celebrates his birthday." Xi Rong said, "He must have found a reason to take Miss Yun Qiao to play this time. Since Miss Yun Qiao has something to do, what else is there to celebrate?"
Xi Zun: "..."
It is true that Xi Lanting never celebrates her birthday.
"Anfu Zunrong" has been with him for ten years, and no one has mentioned his birthday, including the old lady.
It's like, this doesn't happen at all, and no one has ever explained why.
If Xi Lanting hadn't mentioned it himself this time, his entourage and others wouldn't have known that tomorrow was his birthday.
The first time he said it, he received such a cold reception. No wonder he was in a bad mood.
"Do you want to mention it to Miss Yunqiao?" Xi Zun asked, "What can happen to her? Just push it away."
Xi Rong: "It's too late. Go look for her in the fourth room. I'll probably spread gossip."
Xi Zun: "Go to Chang Ning and let Chang Ning ask."
This is a good idea.
As expected, Xi Zun went to Chang Ning, told her about the incident, and asked her to tell Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao was very embarrassed after hearing this: "But, I promised Brother Cheng first. This is not a verbal agreement, but a gambling debt. As for Master Qi, I will go back and buy a gift for him. Will the Xi family pay for it tomorrow?
Making a fuss?"
She thought that the birthday of a delicate person like Mr. Xi Qi must be grand. It would not be a big deal if she was alone. There is a big family in the Xi family.
Anyway, Mr. Xi Qi always behaves like this wherever he is: If you are not happy, don’t touch me.
"I don't know." Chang Ning said, "Then I'll tell Brother Zun?"
"Go ahead." Yun Qiao said, "By the way, I want to ask Brother Zun what gift Master Qi likes."
