After her substitute disappeared, the CEO went crazy

This is a very delicate cake. On the base of the black cake, an elegant and noble black swan stands and dances, surrounded by a string of plump pearls.

In the past, when Shen Nianci was not sick, she would celebrate Shen Weiqing's birthday, but because Shen Nianci's salary was not high, the life of the mother and daughter was relatively tight.

So in the past, Shen Weiqing's birthday was always on the day of his birthday. When the cake shop was about to close and all the unsold cakes in the cupboard were on sale, he bought the smallest and cheapest discounted sliced ​​cake.

Then the mother and daughter gathered together and lit a small candle. Shen Nianci would sing her a happy birthday song, and then they shared the cake together.

The cake is very small, Shen Nianci always said that she didn't like it, Shen Weiqing used to think that she really didn't like it.

Later, when I went to a coffee shop to work part-time, I accidentally saw a mother bringing her daughter over to buy desserts. The two of them only ordered a cup of coffee and a small piece of cake.

The daughter kept asking her mother to try it, but the mother kept refusing to say that she didn't like it. Later, when the daughter went to the bathroom, the mother quietly dipped a little cream from the bottom of the plate with her hands and put it in her mouth, pursing her mouth for a long time.

Only then did Shen Weiqing realize that it wasn't that she didn't like to eat, but that Shen Nianci loved her more than cakes.

Later, when Shen Nianci fell ill, life at home became even more difficult, and gradually Shen Weiqing's birthday was not celebrated.

As time passed, almost no one around her remembered her birthday except Du Tianxue and Lu Siheng.

The waiter pushed the birthday cake into the room, Ling Yuzheng waved to him, the waiter nodded politely and left the room.

In the room, only Ling Yuzheng and Shen Weiqing were left.

"Happy birthday to you~"

A deep and gentle singing voice came into Shen Weiqing's ears, Shen Weiqing looked at Ling Yuzheng in disbelief, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Ling Yuzheng saw her standing there in a daze, crying and laughing for a while, cleared her throat, and sang a happy birthday song for her.

"Happy birthday to you~"

"Happy birthday to you~"

"Happy birthday to you~~"

Ling Yuzheng sang, walked to Shen Weiqing's side, embraced her with one hand, and gently wiped away the tears from her face with the other.

Shen Weiqing looked up at him, the candle was flickering, and the warm yellow light poured on the two of them, making the room feel warm.

Shen Weiqing was immersed in this warmth, for a moment, she actually thought that it would be nice if time could stay in this moment forever.

There is no contract, no one she hates, only Ling Yuzheng and herself.

Although there was a voice in her heart that kept reminding her that these originally belonged to another person, and she was just a substitute.

After Ling Yuzheng sang the song, seeing Shen Weiqing still had a wooden expression, he stared at him in a daze.

He coughed twice in embarrassment, rubbed Shen Weiqing's hair, smiled, and said jokingly,

"What's with this expression? Is my singing ugly?"

He rubbed Shen Weiqing's hair, and was pulled back from her thoughts.

"No."

Shen Weiqing shook her head, then put on a bright smile, and said to Ling Yuzheng very sincerely.

"It sounds great, thank you, Ling... Azheng."

"Thank you, although I know, I'm just a substitute."

Of course, Shen Weiqing said the latter half of the sentence to herself silently in her heart.

It is undeniable that Ling Yuzheng is a very good person, and she, Shen Weiqing, is not a completely heartless monster, and Ling Yuzheng's tenderness occasionally makes her addicted.

But she is clear about her position and knows that everything she owns is nothing but illusion, so she must remind herself at all times, lest when the contract expires, Ling Yuzheng is tired of playing this game, but she is deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate herself .

"Hurry up and make a wish, the candles are almost burnt out."

Ling Yuzheng pinched her face dotingly, and said with a smile.

His gentle appearance caused Shen Weiqing to be in a trance for a moment, but it was fleeting.

Shen Weiqing, who came back to his senses, faced the cake, clasped his hands together, made a devout wish, and then blew out the candles.

Snapped!The lights in the room came on, Ling Yuzheng turned sideways and hugged Shen Weiqing.

"Happy birthday."

Ling Yuzheng's voice was as mellow and pleasant as ever, he looked into Shen Weiqing's eyes, said seriously, and then pressed a kiss on her forehead.

On the way back, Ling Yuzheng was driving, and Shen Weiqing was sitting in the co-pilot playing with her mobile phone.

"Qingqing, happy birthday!"

It was sent by Lu Siheng, and it was quite satisfactory.

"My dearest Qingqing, happy birthday, I am the first blessing I specially send to you!"

Du Tianxue's character is as cute as her face, Shen Weiqing looked at the WeChat message she sent, and secretly looked at the person sitting next to him in the car.

She thought quietly, thinking that if Du Tianxue knew that the first blessing she stayed up all night to fight for would be preempted by someone, she would definitely pout and get angry again, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you looking at? So happy."

Ling Yuzheng was also in an inexplicably good mood today. Seeing her giggling while staring at her phone, she couldn't help asking.

"It's a WeChat message from my friend."

Shen Weiqing replied.

"It was the friend who was sick last time and I sent her to the hospital for surgery."

After a pause, Shen Weiqing explained again.

When they mentioned the last time they met in the hospital, the two of them unconsciously recalled something, and the air in the car suddenly froze.

The two of them remained silent for a while, and Shen Weiqing was a little uncomfortable with the oppressive atmosphere, she curled her lips quietly as if she had made up her mind.

"I have never eaten such a delicious cake, nor have I celebrated my birthday in such a formal way. Before my mother got sick, although we lived in poverty, we never complained about anything."

Shen Weiqing stared at the mobile phone in her hand, and said seriously. After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Ling Yuzheng. The latter still had a cool expression.

"I have experienced that kind of hardship. I know how difficult it is for a woman to raise a child. Senior Su Zefan, his family situation is similar to mine. I can understand how much he has to pay to get to where he is today. He still has a My younger sister in high school."

Shen Weiqing paused and continued.

"I know it's because I didn't know how to measure properly, and I will pay attention to it in the future, but can you please let Senior Su Zefan go, I really have nothing to do with him."

"it is good."

As soon as the words fell, she heard a low and gentle voice from beside her.

Shen Weiqing was taken aback, she didn't expect Ling Yuzheng to agree so happily, she turned her face away and looked at him in disbelief.
