969 Birthday (2)
Shen Miao asked Gu Yu, “Cousin Tan will be back soon, right?”
Gu Yu said, “Young Master Gao asked someone to send a message back, saying that they will definitely be in time for the banquet tonight.”
Luo Tan and Gao Yang had disappeared for the past few days. Shen Miao was not worried. She knew that Gao Yang would not do anything bad to Luo Tan. Today was Xie Jingxing’s birthday. As Xie Jingxing’s right-hand man and his friend, Gao Yang naturally had to rush back.
Shen Miao thought for a moment and started to write. She wrote a little hesitantly. After writing two or three sentences, she seemed to think that it was not a good idea, so she quickly crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it away. She started to write again. After writing for a while, she threw it away like before. In the end, she finished writing the letter and handed it to Jingzhe. “When you see Tie Yi later, give this to him and ask him to give it to Xie Jingxing at his birthday banquet tonight.”
Jingzhe widened her eyes. She did not expect this letter to be for Xie Jingxing. She thought that Shen Miao was writing a letter for Shen Xin.
Shen Miao said, “Gu Yu.” She took out a piece of paper and wrote a few words before handing it to Gu Yu. “Help me buy these things.”
Gu Yu quickly nodded.
The two of them left in a hurry. Shen Miao sat in the room and heaved a sigh of relief.
She rarely backed down to anyone, especially in this life. Her pride did not allow her to lower her head to others. However, this time, she was in the wrong. Moreover, Xie Jingxing was a proud person. Between the two of them, one had to lower their head first.
Xie Jingxing had received enough gifts, and he did not lack money. After thinking about it, she decided to do something simple. She hoped that as Ba Jiao said, Xie Jingxing looked picky on the surface, but he was actually very easy to coax.
Since the Ye family was also going to be present at the banquet, Ye Mei and her brother would also come. Whenever Ye Mei and her brother were around, Shen Miao had to be there to prevent the two of them from getting close to Xie Jingxing.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was evening. The people sent by Tie Yi had already come over to pick Shen Miao up. Jingzhe put the last pearl hairpin on Shen Miao’s hair and smiled. “That’s enough. Madam will definitely outshine everyone today.”
“What difference does it make?” Shen Miao forced a smile and looked at herself in the mirror. Then, she pulled off the pearl hairpin and replaced it with a purple-red jade begonias.
Jingzhe blinked. “This one is indeed better than the hairpin just now!”
The image of the first time Xie Jingxing gave her this jade begonias appeared in Shen Miao’s mind. At that time, they were wary of each other and were both suspicious of each other. At that time, Shen Miao did not know Xie Jingxing’s background yet. She only felt that he was different from the arrogant young man he was rumored to be in her previous life.
There were too many magical coincidences in life. She and Xie Jingxing had actually become husband and wife and even came to the Daliang Dynasty together. She could never have foreseen this happening. Wearing this jade begonias might help Xie Jingxing cool down and remind him of how much they had been through together and how pointless it was to be in a conflict.
