"What's that sound?" Sirius felt a sudden sense of unease upon hearing the man's voice coming from the other end of the phone.
"Oh! I'm here for a friend's birthday party. Her brother called me over just now." Jiang Chengcheng was quite oblivious, directly identifying the owner of the voice without noticing the sour tone in Sirius's words.
"My roommate's brother, why do I hear him call you Chengcheng?" Sirius still wouldn't skip the topic.
"Oh, it's just a form of address." Even if Jiang Chengcheng was incredibly perceptive, she sensed something was off about Sirius upon hearing this. She quickly tried to comfort him, but her tone sounded like that of a seasoned, cynical woman.
"...Not even the way you address me. You are unique to me, and I don't want to use the same way I address others." Even the usually composed Sirius was acting like a child at this moment.
"Okay, okay, okay! If you don't want the same address, what kind of address do you want?" Hearing Sirius's words, Jiang Chengcheng's tone was filled with the doting affection of coaxing a child, and her smile deepened.
.........
After a long silence, Sirius's voice came through the phone again, but the simple Chinese they used to communicate normally was replaced by Russian, which Jiang Chengcheng couldn't understand.
“дeвoчka ,tы - camoeлyчwee, чto co mhon пpnkлючnлocь в жn3hn,Пoэtomy r hnkomy he пo3вoлю 3a6patь te6r, te6e yжe cлnwkom пo3дho coжaлetь o6 эtom cenчac。 Little girl, you are the most precious treasure that has come into my life, so I will not allow anyone to take you away. It's too late for you to regret it now.”
"Huh? What? (?o?; Sirius, why are you suddenly speaking English? I don't understand!" Although Jiang Chengcheng had previously asked Sirius to teach her English, the two of them had been busy with their own things lately, so the lessons hadn't officially started, and naturally she couldn't understand English.
"It's nothing. Anyway, the phone has a recording function. Once you learn English, you'll naturally understand what I mean." Sirius's response, tinged with a hint of chuckle, came from the other end of the phone.
"Huh? How can you be like this!" Jiang Chengcheng replied to Sirius in a feigned angry tone.
……
Watching the interaction between the two, Gao Jingshen gritted his teeth, feeling a pang of jealousy in his heart.
Jiang Chengcheng looked at Gao Jingshen who was waiting, and thinking that it wouldn't be good to keep him waiting there, she quickly said a few words to Sirius, then hung up the phone and returned to the venue with Gao Jingshen.
At this moment, Gao Xuanyi was wearing a custom-made blue dress and standing in the very center of the venue.
Jiang Chengcheng returned to where the group had been, where Liu Xixi and Huang Qing were enjoying their desserts.
"Chengcheng, where did you go just now?" Huang Qing asked, a little curious as he saw Jiang Chengcheng walking back from the corridor in a cheerful mood.
What good thing happened? Why are you so happy?
"It's nothing, I just went out to make a phone call." Jiang Chengcheng didn't want to reveal her relationship with Sirius for the time being, otherwise she would be interrogated again when she got back!
"Really? You're all smiles!" Liu Xixi looked at Jiang Chengcheng and Gao Jingshen with a suspicious gaze. The two had returned one after the other, so it was hard for her not to be suspicious.
"Alright! Just eat." Jiang Chengcheng blushed and scolded Liu Xixi, who looked so serious, and skipped the topic. Of course, she didn't see through Liu Xixi's true thoughts and thought that the other party had guessed that she had a boyfriend.
Many people came to Gao Xuanyi's birthday party. She, the protagonist, was so busy that she was dizzy and had no time to pay attention to them. Jiang Chengcheng and the other two hid in a corner to eat and drink. In the middle of the party, Gao Jingshen was called away by a middle-aged woman who seemed to be his mother. She was accompanied by a slender, fair-skinned and beautiful woman.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Chengcheng, who had been enjoying her meal, was suddenly enveloped in a shadow. She looked up and saw that it was Gao Jingshen and his mother, but the long, slender, fair-skinned, and beautiful legs that had been there were gone.
"Hello, Auntie." Jiang Chengcheng and the other two stood up together to greet her, but strangely, Gao's mother's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Chengcheng the whole time.
"Um... Auntie, is there something on me?" Jiang Chengcheng looked herself up and down and couldn't help but ask.
moment.
Gao's mother gave her son a strange, disdainful look, then turned to Jiang Chengcheng and the others with a kind smile.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Auntie just knows you are Xuanyi's friends and came to ask if you enjoyed the food. If there's anything else you'd like to eat, just let Auntie know and she'll have them make it."
"That's enough, Auntie, we've had a great time." The group waved their hands repeatedly upon hearing this. They had already eaten enough; they had been eating non-stop since the birthday party started, so there was nothing else they wanted to eat.
"Alright, then you all eat and drink well. I'll go take a look at other places first." After saying this, Madam Gao glanced at Jiang Chengcheng again before leaving, her face full of smiles, but those smiles made Jiang Chengcheng feel a little uneasy.
Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but sigh deeply, unsure how to resolve this situation.
Xuan Yi's brother didn't bring things up openly, so she couldn't presume to refuse him. Judging from his expression, even though he knew she might have someone she liked, he didn't seem to want to give up. The only thing she could do now was to keep her distance.
It's unclear whether all wealthy people's birthday parties are exceptionally long, but Jiang Chengcheng and the others arrived at the banquet hall in the morning and it wasn't until after 4 PM that most people had left, finally giving Gao Xuanyi time to sit down and chat with them.
"Wow, Xuanyi, the gifts you've brought back are practically a mountain! Do you think you can fit them all at home?" Huang Qing exclaimed, looking at the row of gift boxes in the corner.
"Oh, it's okay. My brother specially gifted me a building to store my birthday presents every year, but it's just getting more and more piling up, so I don't know what to do with it." Gao Xuanyi was probably used to it, so she had no idea how Versailles-like her words sounded to ordinary people.
"Oh my god! I'm so envious that you have such a thoughtful older brother!" Liu Xixi's family receives quite a few gifts every year, so her focus is more on Gao Xuanyi having such a good older brother.
"Hehe, it's alright, my older brother is always very caring!" Gao Xuanyi said, while secretly glancing at Jiang Chengcheng.
My dear brother, I've put in a good word for you. If you fail to win her over, it's not my problem!
"Xuanyi, I think it's about time, I should go back too." Jiang Chengcheng thought that she had given the gift she needed to give, and now that she had been in the same space with Xuanyi and being watched by him, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward, so she brought it up.
"Oh? So fast? Then I'll have my brother drive you, since you can't drive." Gao Xuanyi quickly asked upon hearing this.
"No need, I've already sent my driver to pick me up." Jiang Chengcheng had left early to avoid Gao Jingshen, so why would she agree to let him drive her?
Upon hearing this, Gao Xuanyi glanced at her brother furtively, thinking that Chengcheng had made it so obvious that he should give up now.
After saying this, Jiang Chengcheng greeted the others and got up to leave.
"Brother, how about we find another one? Chengcheng is really too young." After Jiang Chengcheng left, Gao Xuanyi took advantage of the fact that no one was around and tried to persuade her with some hesitation.
"The outcome is still uncertain, how do you know I can't?" Gao Jingshen didn't mention that Jiang Chengcheng had someone she liked. After saying this, he turned and left, leaving Gao Xuanyi with a helpless expression.
Let alone someone you like, even if it's your boyfriend, so what if he's the other woman for love, given his circumstances? Does he think he'll lose?
