Black-bellied CEO: Lai Shang's Assistant

Chapter 329
When Bai Muhan woke up, Tang Xiaochen was still sound asleep.He lightly got out of bed to wash up and was ready to go to the company.

The phone on the table vibrated suddenly, it was a reminder message of the memo.

It turned out that today is Xiaojing's birthday.

The emotions in Bai Muhan's eyes were intricate, from guilt to pity, to hatred, to coldness.

He put the phone in his pocket without doing anything else.

When it was almost lunch break, Bai Muhan's cell phone rang again.

He didn't need to look to know who was calling.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Muhan answered the phone.

From the other end came Shi Jing's calm and excited voice, "Mu Han, today is my birthday, I booked a private room in the hotel, I hope you can celebrate with me."

"Is there anyone else?" Bai Muhan's deep eyes fell down.

"No, I just want to spend my birthday with you."

"I'll be there soon."

Bai Muhan suddenly closed the phone, put the documents aside, and walked out.

Perhaps, he really needs to meet Shi Jing.

When passing the cake shop on the road, Bai Muhan hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to buy a cake to take there.

Shi Jing waited anxiously in the private room, and she took out the makeup mirror from time to time to check her makeup.I didn't feel relieved until I was sure that every detail was perfect.

Now she is just an ordinary woman anxiously waiting for her lover.In front of Bai Muhan, there was no halo on her head.

The door was pushed open suddenly, Shi Jing hurriedly got up from her seat, and greeted Bai Muhan, "You're here."

"En." Bai Muhan put down the cake expressionlessly.

Shi Jing felt the strange atmosphere, her heart skipped a beat and she sank to the bottom of the lake.

In the past, no matter how busy Bai Muhan was at work, he would carefully prepare birthday gifts on her birthday.

This year's gift... Could it be this birthday cake?
Shi Jing quickly adjusted her expression and sat down with a smile on her face.After all, to her, the gift was second, and Bai Muhan's presence was the most important thing.

"I didn't order anything, I just waited for you to come and order together." Shi Jing handed over the menu.

Bai Muhan took it and ordered a few signature dishes.

While waiting for the food, Bai Muhan didn't say a word, and kept looking out the window silently, as if he was planning something.

Shi Jing's eyes flickered, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "I heard that the red wine here is quite authentic, we can try it."

"It's up to you to decide." Bai Muhan said concisely, and even his tone couldn't be more flat.

Shi Jing couldn't accept the huge gap in her heart. Although their current relationship was awkward, she thought that Bai Muhan would at least be willing to spend this birthday happily with her.

However, this is far from the truth.

After a long silence, the waiter had already served all the dishes.

Shi Jing was depressed, so naturally she was not in the mood to eat.Bai Muhan ate a few mouthfuls to show his intentions.

"Mu Han, since we met, I have spent every birthday with you, except for the year abroad. I seem to be used to celebrating birthdays with you, so I will call you here today. If you I really don’t want to accompany me, and I don’t want to force you either.”

Shi Jing lowered her head slightly, as if she really felt sorry for her mistake.

Bai Muhan didn't speak, and stretched out his hand to open the cake in front of him.He cut a piece for Shi Jing and said, "Eat it, maybe this is the last time I celebrate your birthday with you."

"What does this mean?" Shi Jing's face froze, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head, from her body to her heart.

Bai Muhan put down the knife and looked at Shi Jing seriously, "Xiao Jing, you think you are smart, but you overlooked one thing."

"I..." Shi Jing just wanted to ask what she had overlooked, but seeing Bai Muhan's expression, she guessed everything.

"Apart from us, you are the only one who knows the bid price. It's just that I didn't expect that you would reveal the bid price to the Han family." Bai Muhan's expression was abnormally calm.

Although his tone was cold and hard, his heart was full of sadness.

The last trace of pity and guilt he had towards Shi Jingcun was buried at this moment.He desperately wanted to find that innocent young girl back, but now it seemed that his connivance would only make Shi Jing even more crazy.

"Mu Han, there are other people who know the bid price, why do you doubt me?" Shi Jing narrowed her eyes slightly, and Bai Muhan's shadow was reflected in her dark pupils.

"I will never doubt Xiaochen."

"What about Ah Jin?" Shi Jing's upper body involuntarily leaned forward.

Bai Muhan's hands on his lap tightened, no matter how much he couldn't bear it in his heart, the words he said didn't go as well as Shi Jing wanted, "I can trust Ah Jin."

"Heh..." Shi Jing let out a long laugh, with strong sourness in his smile, "You can trust Ah Jin, but you can't trust me."

Once upon a time, she was the person he trusted the most, accompanying him to expand his territory and break out of his own world.Up to now, she has become the person he least trusts.

The problem now is not who leaked the bid price, but that he will never trust her again.

Shi Jing almost went crazy in her heart, she suddenly pushed away the plate in front of her, and shouted: "You go, you go, I don't want to see you again."

"Xiao Jing, this is the last time I pamper you. From now on, you will be no different from others to me." Bai Muhan stood up straight, facing Shi Jing with his firm back.

He looked sideways slightly, but couldn't bear to see Shi Jing's mad state at the moment.

"Mu Han, don't go, I made a mistake, I admit it to you." Shi Jing half-crawled over and hugged Bai Muhan's legs.

Bai Muhan felt a pain in his heart, because he had never seen Shi Jing like this.In the same way, he is also very guilty that he has humbled a diamond.

"Mu Han, today is my birthday, let's not talk about being unhappy. I want to eat cake, so you can cut me another piece." Shi Jing kept begging Bai Muhan like a child.

In fact, the moment she roared out, she already regretted it.She thought she still had dignity to maintain, but facing Bai Muhan's resoluteness, she would rather not have dignity, just to keep him.

"Let go." Bai Muhan's body was as stiff as a board, and inexplicable emotions flickered in his deep eyes.

Shi Jing was unwilling, she grabbed Bai Muhan's legs and kept shaking her head.

"I can't let you go, you will never come back after you leave."

"Xiao Jing, let go." Bai Muhan bent over and forcefully separated Shi Jing's hands.

This time, he was determined.

Shi Jing slumped on the ground, watching Bai Muhan's figure drifting away, she felt that she had been hollowed out, from soul to body, nothing belonged to her.

"If I can't get it, I'd rather destroy you." Shi Jing clenched her hands, her eyes sparkling with fire.
