When Ye Linlang heard Jiang Qiran's words, she felt a little disappointed, but when she saw Jiang Qiran's mischievous look, she felt that the other party was teasing her.
She looked at Jiang Qiran suspiciously.
"You went out of your way to look up my information, so how could you not prepare a gift? I don't believe it—"
That’s right, Ye Linlang felt that since Jiang Qiran mentioned birthdays, it was impossible that he didn’t prepare anything. The gift didn’t matter how expensive it was, as long as the thought was there!
It would be nice even if Jiang Qiran gave her a few sets of Olympiad math exercises!
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Ye Linlang was shocked herself.
Wait, when did she become so masochistic
…
When Jiang Qiran saw Ye Linlang’s puffy cheeks, he couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her.
"I said no, but I will take you to a place for dinner that day."
"Where?"
Seeing Jiang Qiran acting so mysterious, Ye Linlang immediately became curious.
"Well, let's talk about it on your birthday. I can't tell you now, but there will be a heavyweight chef in charge!"
Jiang Qiran's narrow and long phoenix eyes were deep and dark, with a hint of gentleness in them.
He would never tell Ye Linlang that if nothing unexpected happened, the chef would be his father, Jiang Xuecheng.
Since childhood, although Jiang Qiran has never gotten along with Jiang Xuecheng, he still loves the dishes cooked by Jiang Xuecheng.
This time when Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan returned to China, they also bought tickets directly to City A, but they stayed in a villa area in the city center the day before.
The next day was Ye Linlang's birthday, and Jiang Qiran prepared to take Ye Linlang to meet his parents.
…
When Ye Linlang heard that there was a top-notch chef in charge, she immediately thought that Jiang Qiran had hired a chef from a five-star hotel!
"A private chef? It must be awesome!"
Apart from Grandma Song, Ye Linlang had never celebrated her birthday with anyone else. Birthdays in previous years seemed to be just a formality, but this time it felt like it would be very different.
Jiang Qiran laughed when he heard this. What was Ye Linlang thinking about
However, Jiang Qiran still did not forget to trick Ye Linlang.
"Well, he is a privately hired chef. Apart from the people in our Jiang family, almost no one can eat the dishes he cooks."
Ye Linlang would never have thought that the identity of that person almost controlled the entire business network of Jiuzhou.
If Ye Linlang knew about this, she would be so scared that she would faint. How could she excitedly ask if it was delicious
"Then I'll wait and see!"
…
Time flies, and soon it is next week.
This was the first time Ye Linlang was looking forward to the weekend so much, and she was extremely nervous.
Ye Linlang’s birthday was Sunday. On Saturday, Jiang Qiran seemed to have something to do and cancelled the make-up class for that day, so Ye Linlang stayed in school alone.
After all, tomorrow is her birthday. Ye Linlang sometimes can't help but wonder if the people in the Ye family will remember the day she was born
She is about to turn seventeen, and over the years, the Ye family has never celebrated her birthday.
Ye Linlang had been waiting for a long time, but not only Mrs. Ye and Ye Siyao, but even Ye Haifeng didn't call her.
Ye Linlang thought to herself that maybe she didn’t need to wait any longer.
After all, the Ye family still treated her as an outsider.
…
During Saturday evening self-study, Ye Linlang was writing furiously, racking his brains to think about how to solve this physics competition problem.
She listed all the data that could be substituted, and just when her ideas were about to run out, she suddenly heard a shout from outside.
"Is classmate Ye Linlang here? There's your package!"
Ye Linlang was stunned when she heard this. Who would send her something at this time? !
She almost never shops online.
Ye Linlang pursed her lips and had to walk out quickly.
The courier boy smiled naively at Ye Linlang and handed her a pen.
"You are classmate Ye Linlang, right? Our company requires someone to open and sign for the package in person. Please sign."
Ye Linlang nodded upon hearing this.
"I'm Ye Linlang, but I haven't bought anything before?"
The courier boy smiled innocently and handed Ye Linlang a very beautiful package with a lavender butterfly ribbon tied on the outside.
"Of course you didn't buy it. Someone bought it for you. Please sign it."
Ye Linlang nodded blankly. She looked towards the beautiful brocade box and saw three elegant and vivid ancient Chinese characters written on it.
The font seemed to be small seal script. Ye Linlang had no idea what it meant, let alone what was inside. She just thought it looked very beautiful, simple and solemn.
The gift box alone probably cost hundreds of dollars.
Who would buy her such an expensive thing
The first person that came to Ye Linlang's mind was Jiang Qiran, but when she thought about Jiang Qiran saying that he would never give her a gift, Ye Linlang immediately rejected this answer.
"Okay, I'll sign first."
Ye Linlang was just about to write on the receipt when the courier suddenly asked a question.
"Student Ye, why don't you open it and take a look first?"
Ye Linlang was startled when she heard that. She turned around and saw that all the students in Class A of Grade 1 who were attending evening self-study were looking at her.
Obviously, they were all curious about what gift was wrapped in the purple ribbon box.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Linlang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
And she has learned her lesson recently. Even though this gift box is so beautiful, what if someone wants to play a prank on her and puts a dead snake or something in it? What should she do then
It would be bad if I made a fool of myself in public.
When Ye Linlang thought of this, she immediately shook her head at the courier boy.
"No need to open it and take a look. Thanks for the trip."
Ye Linlang said this and signed her name conveniently.
Because Jiang Qiran had been urging Ye Linlang to practice calligraphy during this period, although her handwriting was still not beautiful enough, it was basically neat and not as shabby as a dog's handwriting.
"Okay, I wish you a happy life!"
…
Ye Linlang walked inside holding the beautiful ribbon box. Unexpectedly, it was actually quite heavy and she didn't know what was stuffed inside.
The girls around usually don’t chat with Ye Linlang, but girls all love beauty. Today, when they saw such a delicate and large gift box, they couldn’t help but ask Ye Linlang.
"Ye Linlang, what is this?"
Ye Linlang shook her head at the girls.
"I don't know either."
The other party began to instigate.
"Then you try to take it apart!"
"I'd rather not take it down. I'm afraid it will be too troublesome to put it back later."
Ye Linlang forced a smile and immediately shook her head.
Who would have thought that a girl in the class would suddenly sneer when she heard her say that.
"Who would send something with such fanfare? I think it might be empty!"
