Cheng Lu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.
She asked, "Shishi, something's wrong with you, why are you suddenly speaking for him?"
An Shishi denied: "No, I didn't speak for him."
Cheng Lu is not so easy to fool.
She looked at An Shishi with a calm expression and said nothing.
Seeing this, An Shishi showed a guilty expression.
Finally, An Shishi "couldn't stand" the pressure and admitted, "Okay, I admit that I did speak up for Xu Xiuwen. Wasn't that for you to reconcile as soon as possible? If you don't reconcile, you won't be happy for a single day. If you're not happy, I won't be happy either."
Hearing An Shishi say this, Cheng Lu believed it.
However, after she said this, Cheng Lu thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.
It seemed like she had never been happy since that day.
Cheng Lu couldn't help but want to forgive Xu Xiuwen.
But she still asked, "Do you really think I should forgive him?"
An Shishi nodded and said, "It's been a month. I think you should forgive him."
Cheng Lu fell silent again after hearing this.
Seeing this, An Shishi suddenly said, "Xu Xiuwen is such an outstanding boy. If you don't want him, then give him to me."
Cheng Lu subconsciously asked: "Do you like Xu Xiuwen too?"
An Shishi said, "I have a crush on him, so if you don't want it, give it to me. Otherwise, if you break up with him, wouldn't that be a bargain for Xiao Youran?"
Cheng Lu didn't get angry or anything after hearing what she said.
It is normal for girls who know Xu Xiuwen to have a good impression of him, after all, Xu Xiuwen is so outstanding.
If An Shishi denied it, she would start to suspect whether An Shishi had other ideas.
An Shishi boldly admitted it, and she let down her guard.
Cheng Lu asked in confusion: "Shishi, you had a good relationship with Xiao Youran before, why did you suddenly speak up for me that day?"
An Shishi paused and said, "Because I can't stand her attitude that Xu Xiuwen is her personal property. Besides, you are the wife and she is the mistress. What right does she have to question you? Although I have a good relationship with Xiao Youran, I am a normal person with correct values. I don't approve of her behavior."
Cheng Lu had no doubt and nodded.
At this time.
After the door of the box opened, a tall waiter walked in.
The waiter came in and started serving the food.
An Shishi glanced at the waiter and waited for him to serve the dishes and leave the box.
She then asked, "Cheng Lu, today is your birthday, have you told Xu Xiuwen?"
Cheng Lu shook his head.
"Then he doesn't know that it's your birthday today."
"Um."
An Shishi said indignantly: "Xu Xiuwen is really something, he doesn't even know your birthday and doesn't come to see you on weekdays. This boyfriend is really incompetent."
Cheng Lu saw An Shishi blaming Xu Xiuwen.
Without thinking, she explained, "He went to Guangming City and is not in school."
An Shishi asked: "Doesn't that mean he won't be able to come today?"
Cheng Lu said: "I think so."
An Shishi suddenly asked: "If he came to celebrate your birthday today and reconcile with you, would you agree?"
Cheng Lu thought for a few seconds.
This time she let go of her reserve and nodded in acknowledgement, "I will."
At this time, the door of the box opened again.
The waiter from before came in again.
He was holding a cake in his hand and said as he walked, "Two beauties, your cakes are ready."
Cheng Lu asked in surprise: "Shishi, have you ordered the cake?"
An Shishi shook her head and said, "No, didn't you say we didn't need to buy a cake? So I didn't buy one."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Lu said to the waiter beside him: "We didn't order a cake, you made a mistake—"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Cheng Lu looked up and saw the man next to her holding a cake with a smile on his face. Who else could it be but Xu Xiuwen.
For a moment, Cheng Lu thought he was hallucinating.
Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm late. And happy birthday, Lulu."
It took Cheng Lu a long time to come back to his senses.
She reacted quickly and immediately looked at An Shishi.
An Shishi chuckled, "Xu Xiuwen asked me not to tell you, saying he wanted to give you a surprise, but I couldn't help it."
Cheng Lu was both happy and conflicted at this moment.
Although she had decided to forgive him, she became hesitant and conflicted after seeing him in person.
Xu Xiuwen saw her dilemma.
He quickly put the cake down and handed over the flowers in his other hand, "Lulu, these are flowers for you."
Cheng Lu didn't answer.
Seeing this, An Shishi took it for her.
Xu Xiuwen took out two jewelry boxes from his pocket.
"Lulu, this is a birthday present for you. I hope you like it."
Xu Xiuwen turned to look at An Shishi: "This is your gift."
An Shishi said in surprise: "I have a gift too?"
Xu Xiuwen smiled and explained, "This gift is to thank you for helping me prepare this surprise today."
Upon hearing this, An Shishi stretched out her hand, but stopped at the last moment.
She looked at Cheng Lu and asked, "Cheng Lu, can I have it?"
Cheng Lu said calmly: "He gave it to you, if you want it, take it."
An Shishi laughed when she heard that, "Then I won't be polite. Don't refuse it. Thank you for your gift."
An Shishi took the jewelry box and opened it immediately.
After the box was opened, an icy violet jade bracelet lay quietly inside.
An Shishi's eyes suddenly lit up.
She was surprised and said, "What a beautiful bracelet! Is this really for me?"
Xu Xiuwen said: "It's for you."
An Shishi put on the bracelet immediately.
She shook her wrist left and right, looking at the bracelet on her wrist, unable to hide the love in her eyes.
An Shishi looked at the bracelet for a while and suddenly remembered something.
She immediately looked at Cheng Lu and said, "Cheng Lu, open it and see what Xu Xiuwen gave you."
When Cheng Lu saw the bracelet Xu Xiuwen gave to An Shishi, she actually liked it too.
No one would dislike a bracelet with a delicate texture and smooth and lustrous finish.
Cheng Lu opened the jewelry box, inside which lay an icy white jade bracelet.
Compared to An Shishi's bracelet, the one in Cheng Lu's hand is fine, moist and has a clean texture.
It's also hard not to like it at first sight.
Seeing that Cheng Lu did not move, Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to pick up the bracelet, then took Cheng Lu's hand and helped her put it on.
During this process, Cheng Lu did not resist or struggle except for looking at him.
Xu Xiuwen was delighted when he saw this.
After putting on the bracelet, Cheng Lu gently pulled it away from Xu Xiuwen's palm.
Cheng Lu looked down at the ice-white jade bracelet in front of her and liked it more and more.
Compared to the color of An Shishi's bracelet, she prefers the one on her hand, which suits her temperament very well.
Xu Xiuwen interrupted the two women.
"Okay, let's eat first and watch later."
