Beijing-Hong Kong Affair

Chapter 88 Birthday Nightmare
Lin Xian laughed at herself, thinking that the young master of the Jiang family had probably never lived in such a small house in his life.

The bathroom of an apartment is not as big as the one in the Shek O villa.

Lin Xian returned home absent-mindedly, and even when Xingxing rushed over to her and snuggled into her arms, she was not in the mood.

She couldn't keep things secret, and once she had any suspicions, she wanted to find Jiang Yunian to clarify things.

But Jiang Yunian has been particularly slow in replying to her messages recently.

She didn’t think there was anything wrong before, as it was common for doctors to be busy and not see any news.

But now, if Jiang Yunian doesn’t reply to her message, she will start to think about all kinds of things.

On the first night, Jiang Yunian didn’t come back.

The next night, Jiang Yunian still didn't come back.

The top message on WeChat was still the same question that Lin Xian asked him the night before: When will you come back?

The other party replied a day later: There is a difficult matter here, and I have to go on a business trip temporarily. I will be back after it is handled.

Lin Xian hates herself now, worrying about gains and losses.

She forced herself to digest the negative emotions and concentrate on the class.

Before we knew it, it was Lin Xian's birthday.

Lin Xian had no obsession with celebrating her birthday, it just happened that Jian Shiya said she wanted to come and see her this year.

She packed up early in the morning and planned to meet Jane Shiya at the subway and go directly to Disneyland.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Jiang Yunian's tired figure.

"Want to go out?"

Lin Xian hummed softly, and Jiang Yunian immediately noticed that something was wrong with her mood.

He reached out to hug Lin Xian, but she dodged him easily.

"I'm in a hurry. My friend is coming and I need to pick her up."

"Ah Xian, I'm sorry, I was really busy the past few days. I haven't slept for two days and one night."

Lin Xian took the step forward and retracted it. "Then why don't you go to sleep for a while, and we can have dinner together tonight?"

Jiang Yunian felt relieved when he saw her smiling, and reached out to hug her in his arms.

"I wanted to take you there, but I was afraid your friend wouldn't like it. I'll book the restaurant for dinner."

"Well, go and have some rest."

If Jiang Yunian wasn't extremely tired, he would have been able to feel that Lin Xian's body was a little stiff.

After closing the door, Lin Xian leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.

She has improved compared to before and can lie without any shame.

In order to prevent Jian Shiya from noticing anything unusual, she prepared herself mentally for a long time before temporarily putting Jiang Yunian out of her mind.

This was Jian Shiya’s first time in Hong Kong. She thought that Jiang Yunian, the doting man, would definitely accompany her, but unexpectedly, Lin Xian came alone.

"Where's your doctor Jiang? Is he busy on Christmas? Isn't Hong Kong closed?"

Lin Xian said calmly: "Well, he is busy. Doctors with higher ranks are different."

"Well, forget about him. Let's have a sister party today. I wish my Xianbao a happy birthday!"

Jian Shiya handed Lin Xian a necklace, and Lin Xian felt a little sour in her nose.

She hugged Jian Shiya and said, "Xiaoya, there's no need to buy such an expensive gift. I'm already very happy that you can come to see me."

These days, she has been keeping her emotions to herself, not daring to show any of them in front of outsiders.

Jane Shiya's arrival finally allowed her tense nerves to relax briefly.

"I don't care. This is the result of my part-time job for a semester. You have to wear it!"

"Okay, I know. I'll wear it now."

She packed up all the gifts Jiang Yunian had given her, knowing that they were very valuable and impossible for her to wear.

The gift from Jian Shiya was not cheap either. It cost several thousand yuan, which was considered a luxury for students like them.

This was Lin Xian's second visit to Disneyland. Every time she visited a place, she would recall the time when she was with Jiang Yunian.

If Jian Shiya hadn't insisted on coming here, she would probably have changed her destination directly.

"Xianbao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"

Lin Xian came back to her senses. "Maybe I slept too late last night because of reviewing. It's okay. Where else do you want to go?"

"Hey, there's a queue over there, want to go over and take a look?"

Lin Xian looked over and saw a coin minting machine.

She recalled the funny things that happened between Jiang Yunian and the little boy. She wanted to get him out of her mind, but he was everywhere.

Jian Shiya thought it was novel and was ready to get a coin to play with. She turned around and asked Lin Xian: "Xianbao, do you want one?"

"No, I have one."

Jian Shiya's tone immediately rose, "Hey, have you come to play with Dr. Jiang? No wonder you have been absent-minded, are you thinking about your Dr. Jiang?"

Lin Xian silently put her hands behind her back, clenched her fists, and picked at her nails hard.

But Jian Shiya didn't notice her abnormality, and quickly came over, "Tell the truth, what's wrong with you two!"

Lin Xian's breathing tightened, she bit her lower lip, and said nothing.

Jian Shiya sighed, "Could it be that he is not doing well? Is he too old?"

"No, it's not."

After Lin Xian finished her defense, she realized that she was still subconsciously defending him.

"Why don't you go and mint coins? The kids have already gotten there first."

Only then did Jian Shiya run away.

Afterwards, the two of them went to see a theater, and Lin Xian's depressed mood improved slightly.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yunian called.

Lin Xian took a deep breath before answering the phone, "Hello."

"Ah Xian, when you come out, go to the right. I'll be waiting for you in this pavilion."

"Are you coming?"

"Well, today is your birthday, and I want to give you a gift, and I want your friends to be witnesses."

Lin Xian felt inexplicably nervous, "What kind of gift needs my friend to witness it?"

Jiang Yunian's slender fingers touched the small red velvet box in his pocket, with a smile on his face, "It's a secret, you'll know tonight."

Jiang Yunian personally flew to France, brought the ring back, and took every opportunity to push forward the merger and acquisition.

In order to prevent Jiang Mingzhe from looking down on him and to give Lin Xian a more secure future, he worked himself into a spinning top.

When Jian Shiya came out of the bathroom, she found Lin Xian smiling, with bright eyes and white teeth, and she was stunningly beautiful.

She trotted over and touched Lin Xian's elbow, "What are you so happy about?"

Lin Xian came back to her senses, "Hmm?"

"You were so sullen just now, but now you are smiling sincerely."

Lin Xian made up an excuse to get away with it, and even took Jian Shiya to play a few games quickly, intentionally or unintentionally.

"I heard the light and fireworks show tonight is amazing. I have to watch it before I leave."

Lin Xian couldn't bear to disappoint her good friend, so she could only call Jiang Yunian.

"Are you here yet?"

"Well, we're here."

"not busy today?"

"It's fine today."

No matter how busy he is, he will find time. He originally rushed back early in the morning just to come with Lin Xian, but gave up because he was afraid that she would feel disturbed.

Lin Xian found that she couldn't bring herself to ask him to wait for a few more hours, so she could only hold Jian Shiya's hand and said, "Jiang Yunian is waiting for us outside. He wants to treat you to a meal."

Jian Shiya waved her hand, "What are you waiting for? We can watch the fireworks show anytime. If you're hungry, eat first! Hurry up, the food here is expensive and unpalatable. Boss, you'll treat us, hurry up!"

Lin Xian burst into laughter and walked out with Jian Shiya.

Before she reached the exit, she received a message.

I don’t know when I added her as a friend, but I sent her a video.

She clicked it while Jian Shiya went to the bathroom.

After watching the video, the smile on Lin Xian's face gradually disappeared and was covered with a layer of frost.

Jiang Yunian was really lying to her.

After disappearing for a few days, he actually...

Lin Xian felt like she was about to fall off the ladder. This birthday surprise was so exciting that it was like a nightmare.

She clenched the phone, hesitated for a moment, suppressed her emotions, and did not call Jiang Yunian.

Some things are better said in person.

There will be another update later.
