Chapter 981: Ling Xi's Birthday
The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable
At this moment, Li Zheng swept his cold gaze over. Just as Qiao Mu thought that he was shifting his anger onto her, he impatiently said, ââThe clothes are not bad. Iâll keep them for the New Year!â
Qiao Mu was stunned. Her heart warmed as she watched Li Zheng turn around and head upstairs.
Although Li Zhengâs attitude was stiff, he still accepted her as his daughter-in-law.
When Li Yan returned home, Qiao Mu dragged him into the room. The clothes were very fitting and very handsome.
She hooked her arms around his neck and sighed.âWhy is my man so handsome?â
Li Yan laughed. â Because my woman is too beautiful. â
Qiao Mu liked to hear this.
âUncle, letâs go to the supermarket to buy New Yearâs goods one day, shall we?â
âAlright.â Li Yan patted Qiao Muâs head. He knew that this little woman enjoyed the festive season very much. He thought of something and said, ââ Itâs Ling Xiâs birthday tomorrow. The Ling family is holding a banquet. Letâs go over. â
Ling Xiâs birthday was actually the twelfth lunar month. Qiao Mu nodded and asked, ââThen what gifts should we prepare?â
âYouâre giving him face by going. You donât need a gift.â They never sent gifts on their birthdays. Men were different from women.
Since Li Yan had said so, Qiao Mu did as he said. After all, it was too impromptu and she did not have much preparation.
â
Ling Xiâs birthday was completely different from Su Chenâs. It was very grand and many celebrities were invited to the banquet.
When Qiao Mu and Li Yan arrived, Ling Xi was surrounded by a group of beauties. When he saw them, he walked over as if he had seen reinforcements.
âBig Brother, Sister-in-law, youâre here!â
Qiao Mu smiled. â Happy birthday, Young Master Ling. Youâre quite lucky with women. There are many beautiful women surrounding you. â
Ling Xi was helpless. â Sister-in-law, donât make fun of me. Those people are the daughters of my parents âfriends. I canât get rid of them. â
âYe Nuan didnât come?â Qiao Mu looked around and asked.
At the mention of Ye Nuan, Ling Xiâs face darkened and he said in a bad mood, ââNot yet.â
Then, Su Chen and Chi Xia arrived.
Chi Xia was extremely unwilling to be Su Chenâs female companion. The moment she saw Qiao Mu, she subconsciously let go of Su Chen and wanted to walk over. However, in the next second, her hand that had been removed from Su Chenâs wrist was grabbed by him.
Chi Xia turned around and looked at Su Chen.
Su Chenâs expression was indifferent as he reminded her, â Youâre my female companion today. I didnât bring you to the sisters âgathering. â
Chi Xia was speechless.
She broke free from his grip without a trace and stood silently beside him.
Ling Xi walked over. â Second Brother, are you here to attend my birthday party or for a date? â
Su Chen glanced at Ling Xi, then glanced at the other side. â Someone is waiting for you over there. Go socialize. â
Ling Xi turned around and saw a few women staring at him, which annoyed him.
He looked at the time. Why wasnât that woman Ye Nuan here yet?
Today, his parents had invited a bunch of young ladies from family friends. They said that it was his birthday, but it was actually a blind date. Seeing those women staring at him like wolves and tigers, he could only endure it and was very angry.
Ling Xi called Ye Nuan. After a while, the call was picked up. Her tone was a little hurried. â Young Master Ling, Iâm sorry. Iâm still on my way. â
âDo you know that Iâm stuck with a bunch of women? Hurry up!â As Ling Xi spoke, a woman came up to toast him. He hung up the phone.
Qiao Mu saw that Ling Xiâs expression was not too good, so she looked at Li Yan in puzzlement. â Why does Young Master Ling look so unhappy when itâs his birthday? â
