After making sure the three ladies had eaten their fill, Sun Dasheng brought various nutritional supplents and went to spend the next few days with the pregnant Wu Xiaoli.
Fortunately, she had a gentle nature and wasn’t overly dependent. Visiting her every now and then was enough to make her content.
"Brother Sun, you have so much to do. You don’t need to stay by my side all day." True to form, he had only been with her for a few days before she took the initiative to tell him not to stay.
"Then take care of yourself. Rember to call when it’s ti for your prenatal checkup. I’ll co no matter what I’m doing," Sun Dasheng urged, stroking her belly.
"I know," Wu Xiaoli said, touching her own stomach. "I’ll take good care of our baby."
"Silly girl, you’re just as important to ," Sun Dasheng said, stroking her head.
She obediently leaned her head on his shoulder, letting him comfort her.
After leaving Wu Xiaoli’s house, Sun Dasheng returned to the villa. The three young actresses who had been filming in Hengdian had only been back for a short while before being sent off again, so Courtyard No.1 was empty. He had heard from Sun Dacheng that the market was exceptionally good recently, making it the perfect opportunity to shoot a few more dramas.
Even in broad daylight, the three won who lived at the villa weren’t ho either; they were all out managing his business ventures.
Sun Dasheng had just gotten ho and was watching so TV when the doorbell rang. He checked the security monitor for the front door and saw it was Yang Xintian, whom he hadn’t seen in a long ti.
What is this girl doing here looking for ?
Without giving it much thought, he opened the door and asked directly, "Why aren’t you in class? What are you doing here?"
"Uncle Sun, you’re ho?"
"Otherwise? Am I a ghost?" Sun Dasheng replied in annoyance.
Yang Xintian stuck out her tongue. "Today is my birthday. I was going to call and invite you, but I thought a personal visit would be more sincere, so I ca over. Halfway here, I suddenly rembered that you aren’t a student like us and might be working, so I was about to turn back. But since I’d already co this far, I decided to try my luck. I can’t believe you’re actually here."
"What is all this nonsense? Why would you kids invite an adult like to your birthday party? Are you worried it won’t be lively enough without ?"
Yang Xintian giggled and hugged Sun Dasheng’s arm coquettishly. "Co on, Uncle Sun! We’re not kids, we’re eighteen-year-old adults now, you know? Besides, you’re not old at all. I showed your photo to my classmates, and they all said you look young and handso."
"Really?" Sun Dasheng asked.
"Of course!" Yang Xintian raised her hand as if taking an oath. "If I’m telling even half a lie, may I never make another cent for the rest of my life."
Heh... making such a serious vow. Isn’t she afraid it’ll actually co true?
"Alright then. I’ll go change. Since it’s your birthday, I should wear sothing a little more formal."
「Seven in the evening.」
The private room in the five-star hotel was already full of people.
This girl’s connections shouldn’t be underestimated.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Yang Xintian imdiately rushed over to greet him. "Uncle Sun, thank you for coming to my birthday party! Please, sit next to ."
The table was filled with kids, so he wasn’t particularly interested. However, he did spot a familiar face: Xiang Yunsheng’s daughter, Xiang Zixuan.
"No need, go entertain your classmates," he said, declining Yang Xintian’s suggestion. He then walked toward Xiang Zixuan, who was sitting by herself.
Xiang Zixuan, who had been looking down at her phone, sensed soone approaching and turned her head. A trace of surprise flickered across her face. "Uncle Sun, you ca too?"
Sun Dasheng sat down and looked around. "Why are you sitting over here?" Then, as if rembering sothing, he chuckled. "I’ve been so busy lately that I forgot about what happened before. What’s wrong, haven’t you two made up yet?"
Xiang Zixuan shook her head. "That’s not it, Uncle Sun. I actually forgave her a long ti ago, and we’ve made up, but..."
"But what?" Sun Dasheng asked curiously.
Xiang Zixuan bit her lip and whispered in his ear, "It’s just that after we made up, she seems lukewarm toward . She’s not as enthusiastic as she used to be."
Sun Dasheng imdiately understood the likely reason but didn’t tell her the truth. He simply offered so comfort, "Maybe she’s still feeling a bit awkward about everything."
"Don’t bla her."
"Hmph! I’m not blaming her," Xiang Zixuan retorted haughtily.
Sun Dasheng smiled. The relationships between young girls were truly interesting.
Before long, everyone had arrived. The food hadn’t been served yet when soone suddenly suggested they present their gifts to the birthday girl.
The suggestion ca from a boy with a center part and a slick, pampered appearance. He had a large gift box next to him, and he clearly wanted to show off. A few of his lackeys imdiately chid in to agree. Although the others didn’t look too pleased, no one objected.
Seeing no opposition, he triumphantly presented his gift box. Inside was a gleaming green jade bracelet. Judging by its quality and luster, it was clearly valuable.
"Wow!" everyone exclaid, casting admiring glances his way. *Did he really spend so much just to pursue a girl?*
Wang Yiyang scanned his surroundings proudly. Heh, that’ll show them. Now they know what I’m capable of. To win over my goddess, I even stole my mother’s treasured dowry.
Being slightly outdone might inspire jealousy, but when soone surpasses everyone else by a huge margin, there is only admiration.
Seeing that Wang Yiyang was willing to spare no expense, the others felt more relaxed. Their gifts were average in comparison, but they were still acceptable.
After collecting all the presents, Yang Xintian stood in the center of the room. "Thank you all for the carefully prepared birthday gifts. I love them all, so I’ll happily accept them."
