Chapter 71: 3rd Birthday Gift [Countdown to Divorce: 3 Days]
It was spread all over the company, and Mr. Yan received a bunch of giant roses. According to the estimates of the people who saw it, there might be one hundred and ninety-nine. Everyone joined the army of wild guessing. Who was so bold to send flowers to Mr. Yan? ?
No one knows now, and tomorrow is Yan Jingxi's birthday.
Who else can send flowers to Mr. Yan on the day before his birthday in an upright manner? It must be that Mr. Yuan has never appeared in the company today, our handsome and handsome Mrs. Yan.
I really envy Mr. Yan. He has such a good lover and sends flowers in public. I heard that they have been married for three years and their relationship is really good.
While everyone was envious, Yan Jingxi was not as optimistic as they thought, how could he be unaware.
He was happy to receive the second gift, but a poem with roses disturbed his heart. He read out the sadness in the poem. For them, the time they could get along was getting shorter and shorter, and they were eager to receive the gift. To Yuan Zhanqi's gift, but he is unwilling to come tomorrow.
Yan Jingxi stared at the bunch of roses on the table in a daze, and after thinking for a while, asked the secretary to find a vase and arrange the roses.
He recognized the fact that there were two days before their divorce, no, it should be only one day tomorrow.
Can one minute be divided into twenty-four hours? Of course not.
It would be great if time could stand still and flow backwards.
The phone was vibrating, and Yan Jingxi received a message from Yuan Zhanqi, which was a restaurant reservation time.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the XX restaurant will see you everywhere.
Forget it, enjoy the moment, and talk about the future.
Yan Jingxi still put aside the love of his son and daughter for the time being, and solved his lunch first.
However, where is Yuan Zhanqi now?
Today, he has been preparing surprises for himself, so is he also looking forward to dinner at seven o'clock tonight? Anyway, he is looking forward to it.
At the end of the day, Yan Jingxi was a little absent-minded in doing things, and his peaceful mind was disturbed again and again.
In the afternoon, after finally talking with the client who had met in advance, Yan Jingxi immediately cleaned up and asked Assistant Chen for his opinion.
"He gave me flowers, do I want to give a gift in return?"
"Is Mr. Yuan giving you your birthday?"
"Yeah, he said that this year's birthday will definitely give me a big surprise."
"So that's the case, then I suggest you wear this..."
"Okay, it's better than the one I originally wanted to wear."
After changing his clothes, putting on the watch and cufflinks that Yuan Zhanqi gave him, and no longer feeling businesslike, he drove non-stop to the restaurant designated by Yuan Zhanqi.
The agreed time was seven o'clock, but Yan Jingxi was always on time, and he had arrived at the designated position at six fifty.
It is a western restaurant, and the layout inside is prepared according to the atmosphere of a birthday party.
The balloon bouquets are all ready, and the waiter is standing by far away.
Yan Jingxi imagined that Yuan Zhanqi was going to give him a huge surprise, flowers, wine, meals, everything was ready, and he was waiting for his appearance.
He thought that Yuan Zhanqi was pretending to be mysterious and attracted his attention. It wasn't until half an hour later that Yan Jingxi realized that something was wrong. A cold mechanical female voice.
When he couldn't find anyone and couldn't wait for someone to come, Yan Jingxi had to ask a male waiter who had been standing on both sides.
"Do you have anything to say to Mr. Yuan who made the reservation at your restaurant?"
"Sir, yes, this is the letter that Mr. Yuan asked us to hand over to you, please take a look."
The waiter gave Yan Jingxi a lacquer envelope.
Yan Jingxi couldn't wait to open the letter, and two lines of words were printed in front of him.
Jingxi: When you saw this letter, I was definitely not there, because we prepared the next gift for you, which is also what you want most, remember? Three days before we got married, I promised you that I would give you whatever you want.
Now, please enjoy the dinner I have prepared for you. Then, the waiter will give you another envelope.
Have a nice meal.
After reading the contents of the letter, Yan Jingxi asked the waiter to follow Yuan Zhanqi's instructions.
The waiter clapped his hands, and the lights in the restaurant were given to the pianist and violinist who had been waiting.
The music they played was not a happy birthday song, but a song that meant a bit of farewell.
Yan Jingxi asked the waiter, "Mr. Yuan ordered this song?"
The waiter filled Yan Jingxi with red wine: "Yes, sir. Every year today, Mr. Yuan will book our restaurant and prepare a sumptuous dinner. He is always alone. This year, he continued to make reservations with us, but he didn't expect it. He didn't show up, we thought he was the one who came, but we didn't expect it to be a different person. Mr. Yuan must love you very much, this song is called "The Future will be Unexpected", I hope you like it."
Will it be indefinite...?
As you can see from the title of the song, it doesn't mean anything to cheer up at all.
Yan Jingxi's heart was half cold at the moment, and he also felt the pain of sitting alone here every year waiting for his loved one in the created atmosphere. How did he respond to Yuan Zhanqi's invitation at that time.
His remarks have always been:
"I want to entertain."
"I'm busy."
"Eat it yourself."
"I'm going to a meeting, so don't call me if you're okay."
He really replied to Yuan Zhanqi like this, and everything flashed clearly in his mind.
When he really sat here today, he realized how hurtful those perfunctory and ruthless words used to be. Every word and every sentence was like a poisonous arrow stuck in the other's heart. Bloody, shocking.
It was obviously a happy atmosphere, but he only thought of this, and Yan Jingxi had no desire to continue eating at all.
However, the thought of Yuan Zhanqi sitting here foolishly every year, quietly eating the cold steak with tears in his eyes, made his heart feel sour. The tender steak in his mouth was like chewing wax, and he could hardly swallow it.
Despite being uncomfortable, Yan Jingxi still ate the carefully cooked steak in front of him and drank a small and half glass of red wine.
The pianist and violin's performance also ends with the cessation of his movements.
Sure enough, after all the meals were served and Yan Jingxi wiped the corners of his mouth, the conscientious waiter followed Mr. Yuan's request and delivered the second letter to Yan Jingxi.
He weighed the envelope, which should be a card.
Open the envelope and find a room card and a card with an address on it.
Please go to room X of XX hotel, my third gift is in it.
Yan Jingxi no longer dared to think deeply about what kind of surprise Yuan Zhanqi would bring him next. Still, he headed to the next location with high hopes.
Now he is a bit like doing the task of getting a spree in the game, which is really Yuan Zhanqi's style. He loves to play games, and even the birthday surprise arranged for him is unfolded in the form of this level. While deeply sentimental, Yan Jingxi wanted to see Yuan Zhanqi even more.
Can he see Yuan Zhanqi in the hotel for the third birthday present?
Today's first gift already hints at a lot of information, and he can't guess wrong.
The hotel is still owned by Tiandi Group, but Yan Jingxi doesn't care about it. Yuan Zhanqi is on his mind now, and he wants to see each other immediately.
The car key was thrown directly to the parking waiter, and the room card was brought upstairs directly.
I booked a top-floor suite, and I had as many rooms as I wanted, whether it was a suite or an ordinary room, it didn’t matter.
They're really going to be in the same room next.
It was nearly ten o'clock when he arrived at the hotel, and Yan Jingxi stood at the door of the suite and took a deep breath.
When he got up in the elevator, he thought to himself:
Will Yuan Zhanqi stand behind the door with a smile and wait for him?
Is he wearing a bathrobe, a normal shirt, or those wisps he saw this morning?
Or maybe he was shy and yelled at him to go in the shower, and then the two of them...
No, it's impossible, he's already made a decision for himself, absolutely not messing around.
But what if Yuan Zhanqi must seduce him?
Then he told him righteously: We can't do this kind of thing yet!
Then if Yuan Zhanqi said: We are legal husbands, why not?
He then said with a stern face: between us, we still need to run in and love.
Then check Yuan Zhanqi and say: Is there no love between us?
He, what should he say next: maybe, can, cultivate in the future?
After finishing the ideological construction, the room card in Yan Jingxi's hand slammed the door open.
The room was dark, and he inserted the key card into the power box, the lights were bright, and the inside and outside were clearly illuminated.
The reason why the suite is a suite is that the outside is the hall, and the inside is the bedroom for rest.
Inside the house, there is no one.
Everything just now was just his imagination.
Although there is no one, there are instructions on the desktop, very obvious blue arrows, and operation tips are thoughtfully written.
Please press the red button.
Follow the prompts to turn on the TV, and some familiar pictures and faces leap into your eyes.
That was the video of their wedding day. He took Yuan Zhanqi's hand from Yuan's father. He and Yuan Zhanqi recited the marriage vows together:
We voluntarily become husband and wife, starting today,
We will jointly shoulder the responsibilities and obligations that marriage entrusts to us: filial piety to our parents, educate our children, respect and love each other, trust and encourage each other, understand and give in to each other, help each other, and love each other for a lifetime. In the future, no matter good times or adversities, rich or poor, health or disease, youth or old age, we will all stand together through thick and thin, share weal and woe, and become lifelong partners. We have to stick to today's oath, we will be able to stick to today's oath.
After the marriage vows ended, he kissed Yuan Zhanqi opposite him. He just touched his lips lightly, but he had no memory of what he felt at the time. He only remembered that his eyelashes were trembling slightly, and he was very nervous.
Suddenly, the wedding video came to an abrupt end, and the next was the birthday party of his first year of marriage. There were his parents, his friends, and Yuan Zhanqi, but at this time Yuan Zhanqi only showed a bitter face, no one was there. Noticing him sitting in the corner, the camera just swept away.
At the birthday party in the second year of marriage, there were his buddies and men and women who helped to cheer. He chatted and laughed with them. They were full of enthusiasm and happily sang the happy birthday song.
And in this video, Yuan Zhanqi's face is no longer there.
The TV was completely black, and before I knew it, nearly two hours had passed.
Time has quietly pointed to zero.
At this moment, the doorbell of the room rang.
Yan Jingxi wanted to shake off the problem he just realized in his mind, he walked quickly to the door of the room, it was Zhan Qi!
Click, the door opens.
A familiar smiling face greeted Yan Jingxi, who was holding a very beautiful cake with candles on it.
He said, "Jingxi, I wish you a happy birthday. Were you surprised to see me for the first time!"
Yan Jingxi's brain quickly linked all the information today, and a desperate thought was imprinted in his mind. At the same time, he had to be conscious of one thing.
Yuan Zhanqi said: I am no longer going back.
Yuan Zhanqi said: I promised you that as long as you want, I will give it to you.
Yuan Zhanqi said: It will be indefinite in the future.
Yan Jingxi's face was pale, and he was deeply aware of the problems he had always wanted to avoid.
Yuan Zhanqi will not appear.
He was clearly told in the video.
Once, there was no Yuan Zhanqi in Yan Jingxi's world.
Now, in Yuan Zhanqi's world, there will be no more Yan Jingxi.
Bai Yueguang, who was holding the cake, saw that Yan Jingxi's face was pale and terrifyingly deep without saying a word, he couldn't help asking: "Jingxi, won't you let me in?"
