Their party lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening, Zhuang Yan didn't drink much, and after coming out of the KTV, he took a taxi and went back to Qin's house.
Go through the gate and walk straight along the familiar path paved with bluestone slabs. The villa in front of you is completely dark among the flowers and trees. Zhuang Yan is a little strange. The lights on the first floor of Qin's house always go out at 11:30 in the evening , It is not yet nine o'clock, why is there no light, is there a power outage, or some accident.
Knowing that he should have come back earlier, he couldn't help speeding up his pace. The door of the villa was tightly closed, and the expression on Zhuang Yan's face added a bit of solemnity. He pushed the door open and walked in.
It was pitch black everywhere, as if someone had drawn the curtains, and no light could come in from outside. There was silence, as if everyone had left, and countless tragedies of extermination flooded into Zhuang Yan's mind.
Could it be that something really happened.
Zhuang Yan pursed his lips, took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket, turned on the flashlight, and first shone it on the ground. There was no blood stain as he imagined on the white marble. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to walk forward. go.
There really didn't seem to be anyone on the first floor, and the surrounding air seemed to become even colder at a certain moment. A little light came in through the gap in the curtains and fell on the cold and white marble floor, like a thin of silver needles.
He thought for a while, turned around and walked up the stairs to the second floor. Just as he stepped on the steps with his right foot, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something hidden on the left side of the stairs. He took a picture of it with his mobile phone, followed by a familiar The face suddenly appeared in his sight, Zhuang Yan was startled, and the phone almost fell out of his hand.
Gripping the phone tightly, he looked carefully and found that it was Butler Qin. Zhuang Yan's heart finally returned to its original position when he raised it.
"You... why are you here?" After Zhuang Yan finished asking, he found that there were other servants in the manor behind Butler Qin, including bodyguards A, B, and C.
What kind of game is this? Or is it the team building unique to the Qin family? Zhuang Yan guessed carefully.
Qin Butler came out with a smile, and surrounded Zhuang Yan with the others behind him.
"Happy birthday!" These people said in unison to Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan was still a little dazed, not knowing what was going on in front of him. As their words fell, someone came out of the kitchen pushing a small dining cart. There was a birthday cake on the cart, which was quite childlike. , more than a dozen candles were inserted, and the flickering candlelight reflected a warm spherical area, gradually absorbing everyone here.
Zhuang Yan didn't expect that he would have such a surprise when he came back. He collected himself and asked Qin Butler, "How do you know my birthday?"
Butler Qin said with a smile, "Mr. prepared it for you."
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that the last time he accompanied Qin Ruoshui to the Wen family's banquet. On the way back, Mr. Qin asked him when his birthday was. At that time, he just answered casually. Unexpectedly, one day Mr. Qin would really help him celebrate his birthday.
"What about sir?" Zhuang Yan asked.
"upstairs."
Zhuang Yan raised his head subconsciously, but all he saw was darkness, and the candlelight did not fully illuminate the huge villa. He was a little disappointed, and then remembered that the upstairs that Butler Qin said was probably on the third floor.
Qin Butler looked at Zhuang Yan and asked, "Hasn't Mr. come down yet?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head, probably he didn't come down, Mr. Qin couldn't be hiding in the dark without incident, he is not such a person.
Butler Qin had a puzzled expression on his face. What kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, sir, and asked them to help Zhuang Yan prepare to celebrate his birthday, but he couldn't come down at this time. What the hell are you doing
Butler Qin used the word awkward very well. Standing outside his bedroom, Qin Ruoshui has always had good hearing. Even though the sound insulation of the villa is well done, he can still hear the laughter on the first floor here. After walking two steps forward, one hand landed on the handle of the opposite door. He hesitated for a moment and put his hand down. He lowered his head and glanced at the time again. It was almost nine o'clock.
Humans are only coming back at this time! He even knew to come back! He thought he was too happy to leave outside and forgot to go home. Don't even look at what time it is, do you still want to spend the night outside!
The more Qin Ruoshui thought about it, the more angry she became, and then she thought about how foolish she had been in front of the phone for so long last night, and the air pressure permeating the surroundings was even lower, but at this time, Zhuang Yan's laughter came from downstairs.
A trace of anger flashed in Qin Ruoshui's eyes, and he turned and walked downstairs along the stairs.
He didn't go to celebrate human beings' birthdays! This is his home and he can go wherever he wants.
The people downstairs surrounded Zhuang Yan with the table knife in his hand. He was about to cut the cake when he heard footsteps coming from upstairs. His heart moved and he seemed to feel something. He stopped his movements and raised his head.
In the dim light in the distance, Qin Ruoshui stood in the middle of the long steps, lowered his head, and was looking at them, to be precise, at himself.
Zhuang Yan's gray eyes flickered with joy, and at the same time, an inexplicable sour feeling surged in his heart. For a moment, he felt that his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't speak.
He really didn't expect that Qin Ruoshui, who had always been indifferent, would help him celebrate his birthday.
Why did Qin Ruoshui treat herself so well? Does he mean something to himself? Should he take the initiative
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhuang Yan's mind, but in reality it only passed for a short moment. Under the shadow of the candlelight, Qin Ruoshui's face seemed to have a different charm than in the daytime, dark blue Candlelight was reflected in his eyes, his lips were slightly pursed, his expression was flat, and there was no sign of happiness or anger.
"Make a wish." He said to Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan looked a little dazed, and then remembered that they were in a hurry to share the cake just now, and seemed to have completely forgotten the step of blowing out the candles and making a wish. Thinking of it, Mr. Qin will open his mouth to remind himself.
For many, many years, no one asked him to make a wish on his birthday.
He also blames himself for this, he can count on one hand the cakes he ate on his birthday from childhood to adulthood.
Butler Qin also forgot about this step just now, and said in response, "You have to make a wish, you have to make a wish."
Qin Ruoshui glanced at him, why didn't she think that Butler Qin was a bit talkative in the past.
The other servants also responded one after another, and held the cake in front of Zhuang Yan. The scene in front of him inevitably made Zhuang Yan feel like he was a child again. He glanced at Qin Ruoshui again, and then closed his eyes.
He actually didn't know what wish he should make. Now that Mr. Zhuang's illness has healed, and his own waist injury has also recovered, he can stand on the ring again.
What wish
Qin Ruoshui's name suddenly entered Zhuang Yan's mind. Do you want to develop a relationship with Mr. Qin
Zhuang Yan couldn't tell clearly either, the identity gap between him and Qin Ruoshui was a bit big, but if there was any hope, he was actually quite willing to give it a try.
Then I wish myself and Mr. Qin can get out of singles as soon as possible in the coming year.
As for who to get out of the order with, it depends on the fate of heaven.
But he will work hard, and when he goes back, he will study the book "One Hundred Ways to Get Out of Singleness" that Wang Chengzong gave him.
Qin Ruoshui didn't know that his name appeared on Zhuang Yan's wish list, he just looked at Zhuang Yan with serious eyes, wondering what kind of wish human beings made, and why it took so long to complete it.
Qin Ruoshui raised his hand and unbuttoned one of the collar buttons. Just as he was about to put down his hand, he saw Zhuang Yan at the bottom of the steps finally opened his eyes. He took a deep breath, puffing his cheeks like a A hamster with his mouth full of nuts, he lowered his head to the candle in front of him and blew it all out.
These candles all went out and were a great success.
A smile could not help but flicker across the corner of Qin Ruoshui's mouth, but it was fleeting.
Next, it's time to divide the cake. Someone went to the door and turned on all the lights on the first floor. Fortunately, there are not too many people here, and one cake is enough. Zhuang Yan lowered his head and used a knife to divide the cake into several pieces. Come out and send a piece to Qin Ruoshui, and said with a smile, "Sir, it's for you."
I don't have a sweet tooth.
These words twirled Qin Ruoshui's lips half a circle, and he swallowed them back into his stomach. He hummed lightly, took the plate and the fork that Zhuang Yan handed over, and under Zhuang Yan's expectant gaze, Next, take a sip.
Tsk, it's a little sweet.
Then Qin Ruoshui took another bite with a fork.
Zhuang Yan smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, quite similar to Butler Qin, he distributed the rest of the cake, and when he looked back, he found that Qin Ruo sailor had eaten all the cakes on the dinner plate. His gaze moved up, and Qin Ruoshui's right lip was rubbed with a little cream, which was quite cute.
Zhuang Yan stared at the whiteness without blinking.
In Qin Ruoshui's eyes, it was human beings who were shameless, looking at him in front of many people, his lips moved slightly, and asked Zhuang Yan: "What am I doing?"
Zhuang Yan coughed lightly, pointed to the left corner of his mouth, and said to Qin Ruoshui, "Sir, there is something here."
"Wipe clean." Qin Ruoshui blurted out a sentence without thinking.
Zhuang Yan: "!"
Did I have an auditory hallucination just now? Mr. said to wipe it clean... Do you want to wipe it clean for him
It's embarrassing.
Are birthday wishes so clever? If I had known that he had just made a wish for a few years and obtained a certificate with my husband, then now my husband would not let him go up to warm his bed.
After Qin Ruoshui finished speaking, he regretted it. How could he say such a thing? Did he watch too many things that he shouldn't? All the beautiful wives have been deleted.
Not only Zhuang Yan, but the other servants were also taken aback when they heard Qin Ruoshui's words, with puzzled expressions on their faces. Mr. Qin really said those words just now, especially Butler Qin. , looking at Qin Ruoshui is particularly meaningful.
Is it fishing law enforcement again? Then this time, Mr. can make a fortune.
After a short period of joy, Zhuang Yan fell into the same problem as Qin Butler.
Qin Ruoshui originally wanted to open his mouth to take back the thoughtless words just now, but Zhuang Yan didn't move at all. Are humans unwilling? Doesn't he like his own
Qin Ruoshui felt rebellious for some reason, took back what he was going to say no need, and quietly watched Zhuang Yan what he would do next.
Zhuang Yan was indeed in a dilemma. Mr. Qin's request was really exciting, but considering what the butler Qin told him when he came to the Qin's house on the first day, he said that Mr. Qin had a slight obsession with cleanliness and didn't like others. Touch, if you want to touch Mr., you must wear white gloves.
Zhuang Yan seemed to know the solution, and then Qin Ruoshui saw him take out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, put them on carefully, and then walked towards Qin Ruoshui.
Qin Ruoshui: "..."
He had to carefully evaluate whether this human being really liked him.
Zhuang Yan was not as calm as he had shown at all, his heart was beating non-stop, the sound was terrifyingly loud, and his eardrums were numb. He walked up to Qin Ruoshui, carefully raised his hand, and stood in front of Qin Ruoshui through the white Gloves, gently wipe off the cream on Qin Ruoshui's lips.
Qin Ruoshui looked at Zhuang Yan's hand with serious eyes, Zhuang Yan only felt that his hand was about to be reduced to ashes under Mr. Qin's gaze.
Hey, Mr. Qin is indeed fishing for law enforcement.
But this feeling is really good, and it will take a long time for him to go back and think about it. He must have hanged himself on this old tree belonging to Mr. Qin.
The most annoying thing is that he teased himself.
Zhuang Yan withdrew his hand, and Butler Qin came to him and asked him in a low voice, "Are you all right?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head: "It's okay."
Qin Ruoshui looked up at Zhuang Yan's direction, and his eyes fell on the white gloves on his hands, what could he do!
Qin Ruoshui snorted coldly in his heart, inexplicably having a big opinion on this human being, he decided to go upstairs to sleep after finishing the last sentence with him, and ignore him again.
He said to Zhuang Yan: "Today is your birthday, tomorrow you can hold a banquet for you, you can invite your friends over."
Qin Butler at the side heard Qin Ruoshui's words, with a clear smile on his face, and said that it was impossible for Qin Ruoshui to ask someone what birthday gift he was preparing for that day for no reason.
Zhuang Yan blinked, and it took a while to fully understand the meaning of Qin Ruoshui's words. He had never heard that the master was celebrating the housekeeper's birthday, so he shook his head: "Sir, you don't need this one."
Qin Ruoshui ignored Zhuang Yan's refusal, he just informed Zhuang Yan, not asking for his opinion, so he turned and went upstairs.
Zhuang Yan silently looked at Qin Ruoshui's back, feeling a little distressed, Mr. must have walked these few steps very hard.
The few of them chatted downstairs for a while, and then returned to their respective rooms, but before leaving, the bodyguards patted Zhuang Yan on the shoulder one by one.
Bodyguard A: "It's hidden."
Bodyguard B: "Young people are awesome."
Bodyguard C: "Uh... have a precious son early."
Zhuang Yan: "..."
What the hell is a premature baby
After everything was over, Butler Qin came to the third floor with the prepared invitation list, and asked Qin Ruoshui for instructions: "Sir, do you want to invite Wen Jia?"
Qin Ruoshui nodded without thinking, "Invitation."
Of course I have to invite, how could this family be left behind.
Qin Ruoshui himself checked the relationship between Zhuang Yan and the Wen family, only to find out that Zhuang Yan was mistaken for the Wen family's youngest son, and was chased and killed by the Wen family's enemies, and almost died.
Based on what he knew about Mr. Wen, Qin Ruoshui had to suspect that they deliberately asked Zhuang Yan to die for their son.
Now that Zhuang Yan is not dead, he is still doing well in their Qin family and is highly valued.
If Wen's family is not allowed to come and take a look, it will be Jinyi Yexing.
The people who received the invitation letter that night were taken aback. Mr. Qin didn't seem to have held any banquet since he came to Pinghai City. Is there any major event that allowed him to hold a banquet this time
They opened the invitation letter with great curiosity, but what did they see on it? Is this banquet held for Zhuang Yan's birthday
Who is Zhuang Yan
The little butler next to Qin Ruoshui, they have never heard of celebrating the butler's birthday after living such an old age. If it wasn't for the wrong age, they would have thought that Zhuang Yan was Qin Ruoshui's illegitimate son.
Even if they weren't illegitimate children, their relationship was quite ambiguous. Butler Qin had been by Qin Ruoshui's side for so many years, and they never saw that Qin Ruoshui was going to hold a birthday party for Butler Qin.
Tsk tsk, Mr. Qin's differential treatment is a bit obvious. Could it be that Zhuang Yan has something special that they don't know about
What is so good about him, that Mr. Qin likes him so much, they must take a good look at him, maybe they can learn some experience, and they can get some benefits when they cooperate with Mr. Qin in the future.
Looking at the invitation letter in his hand, Mr. Wen was not only happy that Qin Ruoshui could still send the invitation letter at this time, but also annoyed and unwilling that Zhuang Yan had won Qin Ruoshui's favor.
Sooner or later, their Wen family will have a big fall because of Zhuang Yan. Mr. Wen regrets it very much. I'm confused.
Wen Yushun is really a debt collector. When he knew that he was not his own, he should have been kicked out of the Wen family.
Now, Mr. Wen completely forgot that the reason why he left Wen Yushun in the first place was to use him as Wen Luochen's shield to attract the enemy's gunfire, but later Mrs. Wen was reluctant, so she found Zhuang Yan again.
