After the divorce, the boss doted on me
Chapter 288: Making a Wish
Gu Mian picked up the small box in his palm, held it tightly in her hand, and was about to say thank you, when Gu Ying's voice suddenly sounded from the yard behind her: "Sister? Sister, are you there?"
Then, she whispered: "It's strange, where did the person go, everyone is still waiting for her to cut the cake..."
"Oops!" Gu Mian whispered.
Ji Lingchuan: "Huh?"
"I forgot that there is the part of cutting the cake." Gu Mian covered her forehead, looking rather distressed.
After the dancing, the next session should be for tonight's birthday star to make a wish and blow out the candles, and then cut the cake to distribute to everyone, but she forgot about it as soon as she came out.
It must be that her mother asked Gu Ying to come out to look for her. She didn't find anyone in the upstairs room, so she came to the yard.
Gu Mian was anxious, but Gu Ying's voice came more clearly: "Could it be possible to run out?"
She said and was about to walk out the door.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Gu Mian didn't dare to catch her breath. If Gu Ying saw this scene, her screams would probably attract the entire banquet hall.
She took Ji Lingchuan's hand and hid behind a thick poplar tree. After thinking about it, she felt that it was not safe, so she pulled him to squat down and hid in the gap between the two cars.
Ji Lingchuan didn't understand the situation, so he staggered a step before he stabilized. Just as he was about to make a sound, his mouth was covered by a hand, and then he heard Gu Mian "shh", signaling him not to speak.
He raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that this is even, last time I covered your mouth, this time it's you who covered mine.
Gu Mian said in a low voice, "My sister is your fan, let her see you here and it's over."
Ji Lingchuan remembered that she asked him for an autograph to help her younger sister, which made him think her name was Gu Ying for a long time.But he didn't understand, since his sister is his fan, it's enough for him to meet and say hello, why now it seems like... cheating?
Fortunately, Gu Ying just poked her head around the door for a glance and then went back. Gu Mian breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Ji Lingchuan's mouth, and when she looked up, she saw his dark and bright eyes with doubts in them.
Gu Mian explained: "If she sees me with you, she will definitely torture me."
Ji Lingchuan looked at her with a half-smile: "Oh."
Gu Mian didn't know what he was laughing at, but she knew that she couldn't stay here any longer. The guests in the banquet hall were all waiting for her to cut the cake, and she couldn't do whatever she wanted.
She stood up: "I'm leaving."
Ji Lingchuan got up and asked, "Then come back?"
Gu Mian turned around and left, took a step and then stopped, turned her head to look at the man's handsome face under the light, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can't come back until the cake is cut."
Ji Lingchuan got into the car, watched the girl fly away like a little butterfly through the windshield, and couldn't help laughing out loud.There was laughter in the silent car, he felt a little silly, he pursed his lips to stop laughing.
Gu Mian was holding the small box in her arms, the corners of her mouth curled up, she was about to open it to see what was inside, but she almost bumped into Gu Ying head-on.
She was startled, and quickly stabilized her figure: "You you you why are you still here?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Gu Mian regretted it. Since she said she was still here, it proved that she knew that Gu Ying was here just now.But Gu Ying didn't notice the loophole in her words, she stared straight at the thing in her hand: "What is this?"
Gu Mian dodged her gaze, and said falteringly, "This is..."
At this moment, Aunt Zheng ran over in a hurry and said in a loud voice: "My little ancestor, why are you here, Madam is sending people to look for you everywhere!"
Gu Mian took a tight breath, and hurriedly followed her aunt to the banquet hall.Gu Ying didn't care about satisfying her curiosity, so she bouncingly followed.
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, she saw Tan Man showing an anxious expression, and she didn't show her face until Gu Mian came over.Tan Man didn't blame her for running around, she took her hand and said softly, "Where did you go, everyone is waiting for you."
Gu Mian felt guilty, and whispered, "I went out to meet a friend."
Tan Man froze for a few seconds, then looked behind her: "Your friend is here? Why don't you invite her to come over and have cake together?"
Gu Mianxin said, he can't come here, the banquet hall is full of guests, there are too many people talking, if the big star Ji Lingchuan appears here tonight, the entertainment headlines and Weibo trending searches will be booked tomorrow morning!
When the birthday star arrived, the crowd automatically separated, and the pastry chef in white chef uniform pushed an eight-layer birthday cake.The lower seven layers are the colors of the rainbow, each piled full of pulp, and the top layer is black with a tiny crown of white chocolate on top.
The air is filled with the sweet smell of cream, mixed with the scent of flowers and champagne, everything is so beautiful.Tan Man let go of Gu Mian's hand and let her go.
All the lights in the venue were turned off, and the surroundings were pitch black, only the candlelight flickering on the cake.
Everyone is watching tonight's protagonist.Gu Mian stood in front of the cake, put her hands together and closed her eyes, silently made a birthday wish, then opened her eyes, leaned over and blew out the candles.
She would make the same wish on her birthday every year, but this year, she made one more wish. I hope she won't be blamed for being too greedy.
Everyone clapped and cheered, and the crystal lamp on the ceiling was lit up again.
Gu Mian felt the excitement around her, but thought that there was another person waiting for her.
The pastry chef handed her a toothed plastic knife, and she cut the cake and shared it with the guests.However, she didn't finish all of it, and kept a piece.
Everyone ate the cake and chatted together in twos and threes, all talking about business matters, Gu Mian couldn't understand.Although the banquet didn't end until ten o'clock, she didn't need to be present for the rest of the session.
In fact, she also knew that the guests who came to the coming-of-age ceremony today were not looking at her face, but wanted to build a good relationship with her father.
Gu Mian looked around and found that her mother was talking to her aunt.The two women have somewhat similar appearances, one is wearing a dark blue dress, the other is wearing a silver and white dress, standing together is very eye-catching.
She thought for a while, then walked over with her skirt in her hands.
Tan Zhen has no children, and loves Gu Mian, the niece, the most. When she sees her coming, she reaches out and pinches her face, and smiles: "Mianmian, are you happy tonight?"
"Happy." Gu Mian smiled at her, turned to look at her mother, and reported to her, "Mom, I want to go out for a while, but my friend is still waiting outside."
She didn't lie, Ji Lingchuan was really waiting for her outside, so her eyes looked very sincere at the moment.
Tan Man thought the friend she was talking about was a classmate. As for why her friend didn't come to the banquet hall to eat cake, she probably guessed it. Children aged [-] or [-] don't like occasions where adults are present, let alone adults like them. People in the business field will make people feel stiff.
Before Tan Man could speak, Tan Zhen waved his hand and said very openly: "I don't think you have anything to do here, go play with your friends, it's your birthday, you have to be happy."
Gu Mian looked at Tan Man, only to see her nodding her head lightly, and said with a smile, "Go." After a pause, she told her, "Be careful, don't play too late. Also, bring your friend a a piece of cake."
Needless to say, her mother had already left a piece of cake for Ji Lingchuan.
With the parent's pass, Gu Mian no longer had to sneak out of the banquet hall like before. She walked out with a big cake.The joyful mood made the corners of her lips rise as soon as she walked out of the hall. Even though she was still wearing high heels, she didn't walk as messily as she did back then.
Walking out of the gate of the villa, her eyes locked directly on Ji Lingchuan's car.
Gu Mian adjusted her breathing without showing any trace, raised her hand and knocked on his car window, after a while, the car window came down, and she handed over the cake: "Please eat the cake."
Ji Lingchuan smiled slightly and reached out to take it: "Thank you birthday cake."
However, when he saw the fruit on the cake, his face changed subtly, because there was a layer of diced mango on it.Probably due to Gu Mian's preferential treatment to him, the diced mangoes are almost piled up into a hill, and he is allergic to mangoes, and will develop a rash after eating them.
Gu Mian went around to the other side and sat in the passenger seat, seeing him motionless: "Why don't you eat? Don't you like sweets?"
"...No." Ji Lingchuan looked into her eyes and swallowed his explanation.
He looked down at the cake in his hand, thinking that it wouldn't be a big problem if he could eat a few pieces, so he picked up a small spoon, and like a strong man cut off his wrist, he dug a piece into his mouth.
The birthday cake was made by a dedicated pastry chef. Of course it was delicious. Ji Lingchuan licked the cream on his lips and asked curiously, "What wish did you make?"
Gu Mian was taken aback, and turned away from his gaze.
What wish did you make?
She wished her family good health, peace and joy.Another wish is that Ji Lingchuan will become more and more popular, more people like him, and his career will flourish.
But she didn't intend to say it.Ji Lingchuan waited for a long time, but only waited for the little girl to say, "If I don't tell you, my wish won't work if I say it."
Ji Lingchuan thought about it, it seems that there is such a saying, he smiled lightly, and continued to eat the cake, but the cake she cut for him was too big, he took several bites and felt that there was nothing missing, and asked: "Do you want to eat some?" ?”
Gu Mian realized something belatedly: "I haven't even tasted the cake tonight."
Ji Lingchuan was stunned.
"What? The birthday star has never tasted a cake? That's really inappropriate." He said, quickly scooped up a spoonful and handed it over, his tone as if coaxing a child, "Come here, take a bite."
Gu Mian looked at him, the man had a smile on his lips, and raised his hand in the air, so gentle and patient.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she opened her mouth to eat the cake he fed, the sweet taste spread in her mouth, and it was like cream was poured into her heart, it was so sweet.
A piece of cake became less and less as you shared the food one by one, and the two of them didn't notice anything wrong, until the last bite was left, Ji Lingchuan suddenly stopped.
His body tensed up, his hands stopped between the two of them, he didn't know whether to feed this spoonful of cake to Gu Mian, or to himself.
Then, she whispered: "It's strange, where did the person go, everyone is still waiting for her to cut the cake..."
"Oops!" Gu Mian whispered.
Ji Lingchuan: "Huh?"
"I forgot that there is the part of cutting the cake." Gu Mian covered her forehead, looking rather distressed.
