He picked up his phone that was placed to the side and walked to the window to make a call.
âHello?â The person on the other end answered almost instantly and started bombarding him with questions as soon as the call connected, âHow did it go, the trick I taught you about giving a necklace was useful, right? You didnât reply to my message just now, were you and Rong Yan âdoing thatâ? You finished so quickly?â
âSo quickly, I highly doubt that!â Normally, Shengxiao looked so fierce!
Even if not fierce, a man whoâd been holding it in for over twenty years should at least last a while, an hour at the very least!
He had only sent the message ten minutes ago, and Shengxiao was already calling back. Holding it in for over twenty years just for ten minutes? Cui Jiangjing muttered to himself, âWhy donât you find some time, and Iâll arrange for a specialist to check you out?â
Li Shengxiaoâs temples tensed up, throbbed twice, and his voice was deep and mellow, âShut your mouth!â
âWhy call me to tell me to shut up, are we communicating through telepathy now?â
âLet me make this clear, Iâm straight, I canât have a psychic connection with a guy, you know.â He really was fearless.
Li Shengxiao, not wanting to waste time with him, got straight to the point, âRong Yan doesnât like that necklace, what should I send instead?â
There was silence on the other end of the line for three seconds before an incredulous voice burst out, âAre you kidding me? Bro, that necklace cost eighty million! Youâve practically plucked the stars from the sky to give to her, what woman could resist such temptation!â
Eighty million isnât just eight hundred bucks, who wouldnât be happy receiving a gift that carried both thoughtfulness and value?
The tall and handsome man didnât even raise an eyebrow as he replied with indifference, âShe doesnât know how much the necklace cost.â
âSo you bought such an expensive gift and just gave it to her without saying anything?â
âUm.â
Cui Jiangjing was beaten by his logic, held his forehead in thought, and asked, âHow did you know Rong Yan didnât like the necklace, did she tell you?â
It shouldnât be the case; he had seen that necklace too; its design was unique, understated yet luxurious, even he as a man liked it when he saw it, it made no sense for a woman not to like it.
Li Shengxiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out into the distant lights, âNo.â
âWithout her saying, how did you know she didnât like it?â Cui Jiangjing was somewhat dumbfounded, then a thought flashed through his mind, âDonât tell me you assumed she didnât like it because Rong Yan didnât say she did?â
Busted! đrđČđđ eđnođđČđ„.cđŒm
His silence was as good as a confirmation to Cui Jiangjing, who spoke with a headache, âBro, seriously, I give up on you. You give someone a birthday gift and didnât even mention the giftâs value. How do you expect them to express their liking? By hugging the necklace you gave, eyes sparkling, and saying âWow wow wow, I really like itâ?â
âOf course not! Under normal circumstances, you give it, and the other person just accepts it. Plus, I bet Rong Yan must have said something like she liked it. Even if she didnât specifically mention liking the gift you gave, she must have at least said she liked it.â
Images of the little womanâs barely concealed joy as she said she âreally really really really really liked itâ flashed through Li Shengxiaoâs mind, his throat suddenly felt dry, and his grip on the phone tightened a bit.
âIf Rong Yan said she liked it, then she liked the gift you sent!â Cui Jiangjing added one more thing, âEven if she didnât say she liked it, as long as she seemed happy, that means she liked it.â
Seemed happy? Does smiling all night count?
His previously taut heartstrings began to relax bit by bit because of Cui Jiangjingâs words. The person on the other end of the call was still rattling on about something, but Li Shengxiao didnât take in a single word and ended the call abruptly.
