Chapter 429: 428 Happy Birthday (6)

Xia Siyu was still wearing a bathrobe loosely tied around her; under it, only a pair of shorts. After all, she was on the thirtieth-plus floor of the Yancheng Hotel, and being alone in her room late at night, no one could see her. She poured herself a glass of water, drank it while reading her messages.

It was a message from Shengxia Yanyu: “Sorry, something came up today, and I couldn’t make it to your meet-and-greet.”

Shengxia Yanyu hadn’t shown up, and Xia Siyu felt a bit disappointed. She replied, “It’s okay, I hope you can come next year.”

Shengxia Yanyu replied: “I’m at the hotel now. Are you in your room? Can I come to see you? Or have you already left to go home?”

“Now?” Xia Siyu hesitated: “Sorry, I’m with my manager and assistant, we have work to do.”

Shengxia Yanyu said, “It’s too late tonight. Can I come over tomorrow morning? Which floor are you on? I would like to meet you.”

Asking only for the floor number meant a brief encounter at the staircase entrance was okay. Xia Siyu had no problem with that, worst case scenario, she would call on Wei Jingjing and Little Tang to join her. She replied with, “Thirty-fourth floor.”

“Okay, if it’s convenient for you, I’ll come over to see you tomorrow morning.”

Xia Siyu didn’t give it much thought and nodded her agreement.

This was Xia Siyu’s new phone; she had just copied some data over and hadn’t had time to organize everything. Since she was free at the moment, she started to tidy up the desktop, set a beautiful picture of herself as the wallpaper, and logged onto Weibo and WeChat to handle some affairs.

It was almost eleven o’clock now, and outside in the CBD, the colorful lights had gone out, and the night was deep. After finishing her work, she looked at the time; it was about the moment Qin Baizhou had asked her to go for drinks.

She stood up, ready to change into another outfit, but just as she did, Bo Yan’s call came through: “Siyu.”

Xia Siyu stared at her phone for several seconds, not wanting to answer.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

That damn man, she didn’t even have to think about it — if he was calling her, within three sentences, he would turn the conversation to sleeping. Today was her birthday, and it was almost over without him even saying “Happy Birthday.”

But the phone kept ringing, and she frowned slightly, then accepted it.

If that bastard dared to speak nonsense again, she would blacklist him and delete his contact. She would never speak another word to him!

To her surprise, Bo Yan’s first words were, “Are you by the window? Open the curtains.”

The curtains were already open, but now that she was getting ready to change clothes, she was planning to close them.

Bo Yan’s words irritated her even more, and she defiantly wanted to do the opposite: “Why should I? I’m going to close the curtains.”

“So, the curtains are still open, right? Stand by the window.”

What the heck? Was he confused? She was at a hotel now, not at home; opening the curtains was pointless.

She began to tease him: “I want to close them, and it’s none of your business whether I do or don’t.”

As she walked over to the window, ready to press the button—

Suddenly, all the skyscrapers in the distance lit up. Standing by the window, she watched the neon lights of these buildings, including the giant Ferris wheel by the river, start to twinkle.

It was like a prince with magic in a fairy tale, turning the night into a kaleidoscope of colors in an instant.

Then, Xia Siyu saw on the giant LED screens of these skyscrapers a sentence forming from beginning to end: “Happy Birthday Xia Siyu.”
