Chapter 56: Does He Like Playing With Women Count?

Several days passed, and Qiao Shuyi couldn’t bring herself to tell Sheng Tang about her and Sheng Yu.

Every time she built up her courage, she would just look at Sheng Tang’s bright eyes, and her courage would disappear.

She didn’t know what she was afraid of.

Was she afraid that Sheng Tang would be unhappy?

Or was she afraid that their relationship would be affected?

She dragged it from Monday to Friday.

Qiao Shuyi felt that no matter what, she had to confess to Sheng Tang today.

After lunch, Qiao Shuyi saw a friend request on WeChat.

She clicked on it and saw a black and white male profile picture.

Remark: [Ji Xingchuan.]

Ji Xingchuan?

Thinking of those beautiful, charming peach blossom eyes, Qiao Shuyi accepted the request.

She proactively sent a message: [Brother Xingchuan, did you add me for something?]

Ji Xingchuan’s message came quickly: [Shuyi, it’s my birthday today, come over to play tonight!]

He also attached a location address.

Qiao Shuyi: [Happy birthday, Brother Xingchuan, I’ll be there.]

Thinking of something, she sent him another message: [Will Tangtang be there too?]

Ji Xingchuan: [I invited her, but I don’t know if she’ll come.]

Qiao Shuyi paused for a moment and cautiously asked: [She doesn’t know about me and Sheng Yu yet, can you guys pretend you don’t know?]

Ji Xingchuan: [Understood.]

Dating her best friend’s brother was indeed something difficult to talk about.

Seeing Ji Xingchuan agree, Qiao Shuyi felt relieved.

She started thinking about what to get Ji Xingchuan for his birthday…

“Ji Xingchuan messaged you too?”

Sheng Tang raised her eyebrows in surprise: “I was going to ask you if you wanted to go tonight, but since he invited you, let’s go together.”

“What are you going to get him?” Qiao Shuyi asked.

Sheng Tang raised an eyebrow: “My presence is the greatest gift to him, there’s no way I’m getting him a present.”

“…”

Qiao Shuyi: “Do you know what Brother Xingchuan likes?”

Sheng Tang stroked her chin and pondered for a moment, her expression slightly disdainful: “Does him liking to play with women count?”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Qiao Shuyi tentatively asked: “Should I get him a Barbie doll?”

Sheng Tang looked at her with strange eyes, then burst into laughter: “I think that’s a good idea, hahaha…”

Of course, Qiao Shuyi was just joking, she couldn’t actually give Ji Xingchuan a Barbie doll.

After work, she took Sheng Tang to the mall, her eyes were about to pop out from looking at so many things, but she couldn’t find anything suitable.

Too intimate wouldn’t be appropriate, and he probably wouldn’t lack anything too common.

As they passed a toy store, Sheng Tang stopped and stared at the Barbie dolls in the window: “I really think a Barbie doll would be good.”

“…”

Qiao Shuyi paused for a moment: “If you want to get him one, you get him one, I’m not getting him one.”

She said it casually, but the next second Sheng Tang walked in and pointed to the Barbie doll set at the top, “Please wrap that one for me, use dark wrapping paper.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Shuyi followed her: “Are you really buying it?”

“Of course.” Sheng Tang showed her the payment page: “This big box, Ji Xingchuan will be moved to tears!”

Qiao Shuyi twitched her lips and didn’t say anything.

In the end, she chose a Rolex Cement Gray watch for Ji Xingchuan at a watch store she had visited before.

After buying the gifts, it was almost time, so they went straight to the birthday party venue.

Ji Xingchuan’s birthday party was held in a villa he owned. When Qiao Shuyi and Sheng Tang arrived, the villa was already filled with people.

Men and women, all in their twenties.

Among them were some familiar faces, like Zhou Huan, Lin Jiaheng, Cen Xi, Lin Zhi… and even Chen Zexu, who had fought with Gu Linchuan before.

This circle wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either. They all knew each other.

They searched around for a while before finally finding Ji Xingchuan on the terrace of the second floor.

He was lying leisurely on a lounge chair, with a beautiful woman in a maid outfit beside him, feeding him fruit one by one.

“You really know how to enjoy yourself.” Sheng Tang’s sarcastic voice rang out.

Ji Xingchuan pushed up the sunglasses on his nose and sat up from the sofa.

“Sheng Tang, Shuyi, you’re here!”

Qiao Shuyi walked forward and handed him the prepared gift: “Brother Xingchuan, happy birthday.”

Ji Xingchuan exaggeratedly took the gift: “Shuyi is so thoughtful, this is the first time you’ve come to my birthday party and you brought me a gift, I’m so touched…”

The next second, his eyes fell on the big black box Sheng Tang was holding.

He pointed at himself in disbelief: “For me?”

“Of course.” Sheng Tang smiled and handed it to him: “Happy birthday.”

Ji Xingchuan was a little surprised and took it eagerly, urging someone to get scissors to open it.

“Let me see, what could be in such a big box?”

Sheng Tang’s lips curved into a smile, trying hard to hold back her laughter.

Qiao Shuyi silently mourned for Ji Xingchuan in her heart, then subtly stepped back a bit, afraid that she would be caught in the crossfire later.

Sure enough, when he saw the pink box, a look of confusion flashed across Ji Xingchuan’s eyes.

But he wouldn’t believe it and continued to unwrap it.

Finally, when he saw what was in the box, his face completely changed.

“Sheng Tang, you’re a jerk!”

“My jerk is still alive, do you have something for him?” Sheng Tang shrugged, looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

Qiao Shuyi suddenly remembered that Sheng Tang’s jerk was Sheng Ming Ze and Sheng Ming Wei’s grandfather.

Ji Xingchuan’s angry roar instantly attracted many people to come and watch the show, “What happened?”

However, when they saw the Barbie doll gift box at Ji Xingchuan’s feet, they couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Xingchuan, who gave you this gift? It’s so creative.” Zhou Huan was enjoying the show.

Ji Xingchuan looked at Sheng Tang with resentment, his eyes seemed to say: Who else could it be but her?

Zhou Huan held back his laughter and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: “Don’t say that, Sister Sheng Tang’s gift is pretty good, look, it matches your shirt today.”

It just so happened that Ji Xingchuan was wearing a pink shirt tonight.

“Sister Sheng Tang, how did you think of getting Xingchuan a Barbie doll?” Lin Jiaheng asked curiously.

Hearing this, Qiao Shuyi immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second, Sheng Tang sold her out: “Qiao Qiao gave me the inspiration.”

“She asked me what Ji Xingchuan likes, I said he likes women, she said why not get him a Barbie doll, hahahaha… My precious Qiao Qiao is so smart, hahaha…”

Everyone was laughing wildly, except for Ji Xingchuan, whose face was black.

“Mr. Sheng is here!” Someone downstairs suddenly shouted.

Immediately, many people went downstairs to greet him.

Ji Xingchuan handed the gift to the servants and followed them downstairs, but before leaving, he didn’t forget to threaten Sheng Tang: “I’ll tell your brother!”

Sheng Tang stuck out her tongue at him.

Who’s afraid?
