The first cold dish was foie gras, and the next one was Marseille fish soup, hot appetizers, fish, hot and cold dishes, etc. Gu Chengcheng had a small appetite and was not used to French food, so she just tasted every dish. The last bite was not enough, and the last dessert only took a few more spoonfuls, and this meal was almost silent.
"It's your birthday today, why don't you have a birthday cake." Also to break the silence, Gu Chengcheng put down the silver spoon and spoke softly.
Zhou Yan sat on the far side of the long table, and at first glanced up at Gu Chengcheng's words, then wiped his mouth from the napkin, and said, "I never eat that kind of food."
Gu Chengcheng also knew that she had saved his face tonight, and he should be a little unhappy. He turned his head and glanced at the sky outside, it should be too late.
"Can you drive me to a place?" Gu Chengcheng asked.
How could Zhou Yan not agree to her, even if he was really unhappy about what happened today, would he be willing to refuse to agree to all her needs? Must be reluctant.
"Let's go."
After walking out of the French restaurant and getting into Zhou Yan's car, Gu Chengcheng still didn't know where to go. Zhou Yan asked her, and she only said to walk first until a bakery appeared by the roadside.
"It's here, stop and wait for me for a while." As he spoke while unfastening his seat belt, Gu Chengcheng opened the door and ran down.
Zhou Yan guessed her past purpose, and she didn't stop her. At that time, he and her were in the car and the other in the store. It seemed that the distance was not too far, but in reality, it took a lot of effort and time to cross it.
Gu Chengcheng came back very quickly. When she got into the car, she had a small cake in her hand. It was really small, only the size of a palm. It was covered in a transparent plastic box, which was made of a whole chocolate on top of white cream. pink longevity peach.
"Did you bring a lighter?" Like magic, Gu Chengcheng took out a candle from nowhere.
Zhou Yan did not reply. He silently took out the lighter from his pocket and handed it to her. Gu Chengcheng opened the box, inserted the candle, lit it with the lighter, and held it in front of Zhou Yan.
"Okay! Mr. Zhou can make a wish! Today is your birthday, and you can't do it without a cake. Although this cake is a bit small, the meaning is there. Wouldn't you mind?"
Why would you mind? For a wealthy family like the Zhou family, celebrating a birthday has always been like a festival. The excitement is lively, and the pomp is also ostentatious, but for so many years, why has no one thought about getting a cake for him on his birthday
The brown eyes finally got a warm smile at this moment. Zhou Yan closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again. He leaned over and blew out the candle. In the quiet carriage, he said softly to Gu Chengcheng, "Thank you."
Those short words contained deep emotion, Gu Chengcheng heard it, was slightly startled, and asked unconsciously, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Yan shook his head, and before he could speak, he smiled while holding his forehead.
"It's nothing, it's the first time I've eaten cake on my birthday when I grow up so big."
"Ah?" Gu Chengcheng couldn't believe it, opened his mouth and exclaimed.
Zhou Yan gave a shallow "um": "It's absolutely true."
how can that be possible? With a family like the Zhou family, the cake should be bigger, at least Gu Chengcheng thinks so, but it can be seen that there are always many things in this society that are different from what she imagined.
"Then you are really pitiful. Although I depend on my brother for life, I still have a cake for my birthday every year. Sometimes my brother buys it, and sometimes, sometimes it's delivered by Yan Zhenli." He seems reluctant to mention it. When Gu Chengcheng said that name, his voice was almost inaudible.
She took the initiative to mention the Mu family, and Zhou Yan couldn't hold back the words after holding back, so he opened his mouth and asked her, "Speaking of which, I still want to know, what happened to you and Mu Nanfeng."
"What's going on? There's nothing wrong." Not surprisingly, he was going to ask this question. Gu Chengcheng almost felt that he was so abnormal tonight because he was stimulated by the news of the past few days.
"Are you sure?" Zhou Yan didn't believe her, and looked at her with half-squinted eyes. Gu Chengcheng didn't really like other people's scrutiny and exploration eyes, but he didn't dodge at the moment, and let him look at her upright.
She didn't utter a word, and her eyes were so calm, what Zhou Yan could look at, she was frustrated in the end.
"Eat the cake." Putting the small cake on his hand, Gu Chengcheng's reaction was as if nothing had happened before, she automatically passed the Mu's house who had just stepped in suddenly, and wished him: "Zhou Yan, I wish you Happy birthday."
"Yeah." Nodding and accepting the blessing, Zhou Yan hoped from the bottom of his heart that the only birthday wish he had made for so many years would come true.
That night, Zhou Yan ate such a small cake by himself. In fact, he never liked sweets, but he thought that cake was especially delicious, not even the last dessert served in the French restaurant that night.
That is the night, after Zhou Yan sent Gu Chengcheng back to Jiangnan City, Gu Chengcheng received a strange phone call in the middle of the night.
It was probably early in the morning. Gu Chengcheng was woken up by the disturbing ringtone of her cell phone just after she closed her eyes after a tired day. She rubbed her eyes sleepily to touch the phone, and picked it up without seeing who it was.
"Hey—" Because he didn't wake up, Gu Chengcheng's voice was lazy and soft, even softer than usual.
There was no response from the other side. Gu Chengcheng couldn't hear anyone talking and became a little sober. She forced herself to ask again, "Who are you?"
There was still no response. Gu Chengcheng was suspicious. She took the phone from her ear. It was a string of numbers that she had never remarked. It was vaguely familiar, but before Gu Chengcheng could remember it, the call was cut off abruptly.
In the middle of the night, such a neurosis is rare. Gu Chengcheng was very sleepy. Although he felt familiar, he didn't think much about it. He just thought it was a wrong call. She dropped her phone and fell asleep with the quilt in her arms.
At this moment, in a high-end apartment not far from Jingyi Group, Mu Nanfeng was standing on the dark balcony blowing the night wind. .
"Nanfeng?" A charming and pleasant voice came from behind, and then the lights in the room turned on, and Xia Qiao'an got out of bed in a silk nightgown.
"What happened to you just now? Are you dreaming?" Xia Qiao'an asked again before he could answer.
He took a swipe at the cigarette between his fingertips. Because the indoor lights were on, he could see the cold sweat on Mu Nanfeng's forehead. His face was abnormally white. If you observe carefully, You could even see his nightgown soaked in sweat.
#####All the reactions of Mu Nanfeng are only the most suitable
