ABO diurnal boundary

Like the moon and the tides, blowing out the candles and cutting the cake are part of any birthday party.

It was a quarter of an hour before nine o'clock, and at the end of the dinner, the hotel staff stood by in the background pushing a birthday cake taken out of the freezer.

The cake is huge, with several layers. The snow-white cream is like a piece of snow that has not melted for a long time. The top layer is decorated with freshly cut Corolla roses. Exquisite work of art.

They had to get permission from their employers to light candles because burning them for too long would melt the cream and affect the overall shape and beauty of the cake.

In the most central position in the restaurant, Xie Mingyao looked at the watch for the third time tonight.

As if affected by his bad mood, Fang Rujun next to him seldom fidgeted.

She bit her lip, and the hand under the table twisted ugly folds on the skirt.

Just when her anxiety was about to reach its peak, Xie Mingyao looked over silently, with a hint of condemnation in her eyes.

She who was originally immersed in her own world seemed to be poured a large basin of ice water over her head.

Xie Mingyao is a man with a strong desire to control, which is vividly reflected in all aspects of work and daily life.

In the past, this kind of naked dissatisfaction was directed at another person, someone who she regarded as a thorn in the side, but would soon disappear completely.

At this moment, that person was not there, and her behavior, which could be called abnormal, displeased him.

Xie Mingyao ordered the table, and she immediately came back to her senses—after all, she was the pillow person who had lived together for more than [-] years, and she knew how to calm her husband's anger.

"Maybe I've been a little too tired recently." When she spoke, she changed back to the calm lady she used to be, "I'm going to touch up my makeup."

"Come back earlier." Xie Mingyao sincerely praised her attire tonight, "Although you are beautiful like this."

She frankly accepted his kiss on the cheek, and at the same time showed a sweet smile, "Thank you, I will."

The refrigerated cream melted slowly at room temperature, and Xie Mingyao's brows became more and more wrinkled. Even the girl brought by Xie Xuan subtly sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and stopped whispering to her boyfriend.

Before all the pressure reached the limit, Assistant Cao finally returned here.He whispered a few words in the ear of his boss, looking out at the corridor while talking.

When Assistant Cao finished his report, Xie Mingyao's expression turned dark, as if he heard something good.

His eyebrows twisted into a Sichuan character stretched out, his expression was relaxed and peaceful, without any haze, "Let them remove the cake."

He waved his hand, which made many people present breathe out a sigh of relief, "After all, I don't need it anymore."

Until the end of the dinner, Xie Jingchi, who was supposed to be in charge of dancing at the ball, did not appear again, so this task fell to Xie Xuan and his partner.

Xie Xuan, who has always been the focus of the crowd, generously led his partner to the center of the dance floor. The skirt bloomed like a flower to the melodious music, swaying in the sea of ​​lights.

No matter when the combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman is pleasing to the eye, compared with the mysterious dance partner who is the protagonist in the title tonight, who almost never shows up in public, the photographer's lens is more willing to follow the golden boy and girl in the dance hall.

Xie Xuan embraced his partner and danced a waltz. When the music ended, the girl leaned into his arms blushing.

The chattering crowd suddenly fell silent.She felt strange, so she raised her head quietly, looking over Xie Xuan's broad shoulders, she saw the crowd spontaneously diverge into a path.

"That...is your brother's, object?" She hesitated, and finally chose a more neutral wording, "Why only him? Where's your brother?"

"Who are you talking about?" When Xie Xuan saw the appearance of the person coming, he was also stunned, "It's him?"

If he remembered correctly, Qin Shen's suit was black today, and his coat disappeared after just going out.

The clothes are obviously very unruly, but because they broke the meticulous shell, there is an indescribable sense of burnout and sexiness, which is particularly out of place in this well-dressed Vanity Fair.

"Give way." Qin Shen said expressionlessly.

"Sorry." Before Xie Xuan could react, the girl pulled him by his sleeve.

The moment Qin Shen passed by, Xie Xuan smelled a very sweet smell on him.

The sweetness was very light and dissipated quickly. If it wasn't for familiarity, he wouldn't even be able to distinguish the source of the smell.

This is the smell of a weak and useless Omega.

Xie Xuan had a complex look on his face, "You... are you here to find your father?"

"Yes, so what's the matter with you?"

Qin Shen's expression was alienated and polite, Xie Xuan's unfinished words were stuck in his throat, choking in panic.

Seeing that he had nothing else to do, Qin Shen nodded and left, leaving him staring blankly.

This episode did not cause much disturbance, many guests came to say hello to them, and Xie Xuan answered them one by one.

When the two were alone again, the girl was still puzzled by his performance just now, "Do you know Chairman Qin?"

He rubbed her hair and said in a low voice, "I guess I know you."

Qin Shen was his senior in the university, and he had heard of his name before enrolling. The competitive instinct in Alpha's bones made him regard this person as his goal, but the more he tried to catch up, the more he understood that some gaps were born.

So when he learned that Qin Shen had chosen Xie Jingchi as his fiancée, besides disappointment, he gloated and ridiculed—it was just fulfilling the useless marriage contract made by the previous generation, and it would be canceled sooner or later.

He firmly believed in this until today. After all, in his opinion, there are as many beautiful Omega as there are, and people like Xie Jingchi who are worthless except for their faces have nothing worthy of Qin Shen's nostalgia.

But his discovery just now seemed to indicate that Qin Shen might not be as indifferent as he thought to this nonsensical engagement.

In this era of Internet popularity, it is difficult for someone who has never heard of Qin Nianchuan's name.

As a legendary figure of a generation, Qin Nianchuan's properties spread across all walks of life. After he resigned from the company, the person who succeeded him, that is, his grandson, never received less attention than anyone else.

It's just that Qin Shen himself is too low-key compared to his grandfather who has been making headlines all the year round.

Even in the media that has been cooperating with Qin's for many years, there are only a few reports about Qin Shen, which cannot even fill up a page.

Because he is too young and too mysterious, there are not a few people who say bad things about him. A certain financial expert once boldly predicted that under the leadership of this new chairman who just got a master's degree and was appointed by heaven, Qin His assets will definitely shrink within five years.

Right now, the young chairman, who will only turn 27 in the second half of the year, and Xie Mingyao are standing far away from the center of the stage, close to the terrace. Even though there is a short distance between them, every word they say is clearly transmitted to the audience. in the ears of many.

"Why are you the only one here? Where's Xiao Chi?"

"Xie Jingchi is not feeling well, I am going to take him back to rest."

Hearing Qin Shen's meaning that he didn't intend to stay here for a long time, Xie Mingyao raised his eyebrows, "Oh, it's not feeling well. If it's serious, you need to see a doctor."

"You don't need to worry about this, it's just a small problem."

Qin Shen spoke in a cold and polite tone, as if the person opposite was not a familiar elder, but an ordinary business partner.

Xie Mingyao didn't take his attitude very seriously, he still looked relaxed.

"Is what you promised last week still count? If you want to hold a wedding, you need to prepare a little more."

Qin Shen frowned slightly, "I seldom go back on my word."

During their meeting last weekend, they talked about many things, his engagement with Xie Jingchi was just one of them.

At that time his answer was "I don't care", it was true, even if Xie Jingchi refused to fulfill it, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

"If that's what he meant."

The way to the dance is not a good place to talk about work, Qin Shen didn't say any more.

Just as the conversation was about to end, Xie Mingyao suddenly turned the topic to a seemingly irrelevant direction, "Is Chairman Qin okay?"

"Thanks to Jing Chi, it's much better than before." The corner of Qin Shen's mouth twitched a little, as if remembering something good.

This rare, humane smile only stayed on his face for a short moment before disappearing.

"Uncle Xie." He looked at Xie Mingyao calmly, "Since it's already mine, I'd like to ask you and the people around you not to intervene a little bit, it's good for us both."

The starry sky became increasingly dimmer under the brilliant lights, and the cold night wind came in from the edge of the terrace, and Qin Shen's hair was blown a little messy.

Fang Rujun, who had finished her makeup and changed her skirt by the way, just heard the second half of his sentence, and her complexion changed, and she felt undecided.

"Hello, Aunt Fang." Qin Shen also saw her, "Hello, too, your nephew."

He briefly greeted her, and then walked past her who was in a daze.

In the deserted corridor outside, Xie Jingchi hugged his coat, and the moment he saw him, he raised his head telepathically.

His eyes are bright, filled with longing that even he didn't realize, like a harmless little animal, hesitating to show its soft belly to a trustworthy human being.

Qin Shen lowered his head, wrapped him loosely in his arms, and brushed his messy hair away, "Xie Jingchi, we can go now."
