Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 629 - 456 The Dog Man’s Most Dreaded Birthday_2

This feeling was truly amazing.

"It’s like in someone else’s writing, Ningning and I really had a romance."

...

...

In Hang City, Green City Rose Garden.

The counselor was opening the underwear washing machine that Cheng Zhu had mentioned wanting to buy for her, taking out two freshly washed panties to hang and dry.

One was black lace, and the other was light gray lace.

After hanging up the matching sets of lingerie, she squatted down to water the potted plants on the balcony.

As she crouched, her hips curved into a full and round shape, carrying a hint of an urban mature woman’s unique charm.

After watering, the counselor absentmindedly fiddled with the leaves and branches, her mind drifting a bit.

She was pondering whether to buy Cheng Zhu a birthday cake.

She hoped that each year, she could celebrate her birthday just like the last, together with Cheng Zhu.

But she wasn’t sure if Cheng Zhu wanted to spend his birthday with her.

"He’s different from me." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"He also has many friends and family around him."

After hesitating for a while, Chen Jieyu decided to order a cake anyway, a smaller one just in case.

With that thought, she picked up her phone, intending to browse online for cake designs and then call a private bakery to make one.

But as soon as she picked up her phone, she received a message from her mother, Chen Ruyu.

"Nannan, don’t feel afraid to contact us recently. Your Daddy has really reformed, and he’s come into a fair amount of money lately. Don’t worry, he certainly won’t come to ask you for your year-end bonus anymore. If you have money, just remember to save it up and don’t spend it recklessly. In this day and age, young people should also save up a bit, or else you’ll lack confidence living in a big city."

Chen Jieyu frowned at the message.

Her already somewhat stern face grew more serious because of it.

She had always felt, at least, her mother was good to her, so whatever her mother said or did, she would instinctively think positively.

But now, with a correct judgement, when she looked at this message again, she just felt very uncomfortable and troubled inside.

Especially the last part, telling her to save money and not spend it indiscriminately.

Many parents, seeing their daughters living alone in big cities, would tell them to treat themselves well and not to be reluctant to spend money.

Moreover, she had already told them that she had spent her year-end bonus, which means her mother had never really believed her, thinking she just didn’t want to give them money.

As for Chen Ruyu saying Chen Qin had come into quite a bit of money, Chen Jieyu didn’t pay any attention to it, nor did she think much of it.

To her, whether this man was poor or wealthy had little to do with her.

Oh no, that’s not right; if he were poor, he would pester her persistently, affecting her life.

One’s family of origin is like an abyss, a bottomless pit.

She felt like someone stuck in a quagmire.

The counselor, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, glanced down at the small flowers blooming on the potted plants, which improved her mood a bit.

At least now she had a home of her own, an apartment of her own, and the confidence Cheng Zhu gave her to root herself in the big city.

She didn’t care to pay any heed to Chen Ruyu’s words.

Instead, she was thinking about going out tonight to look for a birthday gift for Cheng Zhu.

"Although he lacks nothing and my financial capacity is much inferior to his, I still want to express my feelings," the counselor thought.

Of course, she was also well aware what this naughty student, Cheng Zhu, craved most from his counselor.

The weather was getting warmer as the seasons changed, and she planned to buy some new professional office lady (OL) style clothes later.

She could tell that Cheng Zhu really liked seeing her in work attire.

Especially a suit dress paired with high heels, which could show off her figure to the fullest.

...

...

March 31st, night.

At eleven o’clock, Cheng Zhu’s birthday countdown had begun.

At that moment, he was sitting on the couch in Xinhang Apartment, somewhat amused.

Just moments ago, he was chatting amicably with Lin Lu, but now, due to some issues, Little Lu was angry.

"Always puffing up your cheeks like that; did your chest get bigger because of it?" Cheng Zhu chuckled to himself.

Sometimes he found an angry Lin Lu rather adorable.

Seeing her sulkily pouting, he inexplicably felt an urge to laugh.

Little frown lines, big eyes glaring, not intimidating at all.

But today, he really hadn’t intended to make his girlfriend mad.

It was purely because Lin Lu brought up that same old issue, telling Cheng Zhu to treat Ningning well, at the very least, to a nice meal, right?

In her view, "Cheng Zhu, although Ningning is a shareholder, you’re the major boss. And after the video of the concert was released, it has indeed affected her life. Isn’t it reasonable for you to treat her to dinner?"

Well, the same old story; Little Lu has always been critical of herself and expects the same of others.

Cheng Zhu decisively refused, and it made her a bit mad!

Because she felt that they had agreed to treat Ningning last time, but it was not done, and this time, with Ningning’s efforts bringing so much attention to Youu Tea, it was still not done.

"Cheng Zhu, that’s not right!" That was the indignant attitude of Little Lu.

The wretch didn’t care at all.

In reality, dining together wouldn’t be good for anyone; he didn’t see the need for it.

"Just soothe her a bit later; she’s the easiest to comfort," Cheng Zhu thought to himself.

He opened the notebook on the coffee table, placed it on his lap, and started to immerse himself in checking the recent backend data for Persistent Visit.

The growth in sales for Persistent Visit’s Taobao store was no longer significant.

After all, the viral shop had reached top-tier; any growth purely came from the improving overall market environment.

But this stable volume of sales was enough to make countless e-commerce people envious.

More recently, the biggest surprise for him from Persistent Visit was the small breakthrough in the R&D department for QQ toys!

The soundproofing of the toys had improved to a certain extent and could now approach 50dB—the silent effect was quite near.

However, now many QQ toys on the market began to copy Persistent Visit, switching their storage boxes and adopting macaron color schemes.

Luckily, Cheng Zhu did not care about these things.

He was more concerned with the work of the R&D team.

"So many bosses in China love to squabble over superficial things."

"They don’t know how to hustle over genuine core technology!"

"I’m different; I want to use technology to change the QQ industry, to overthrow it with technology!"

Cheng Zhu poured a lot of money into research and development, burning through cash every month.

He reached for the "earphone model" 2.0 version on the table, turned it up to the highest setting, and listened to its sound in the quiet living room.

"The noise reduction has really improved!" He smiled contentedly.

And just then, his phone rang with a call from Lin Lu.

Cheng Zhu casually put the device back into the earphone case and set it on the coffee table, then answered the call.

"Cheng Zhu, where are you now?" inquired Lin Lu.

"What, you’re surprising me with a spot check?" Cheng Zhu replied with a chuckle: "I’m in Xinhang Apartment, didn’t I tell you I would stay here tonight?"

"Then come to the living room and open the window," Little Lu said.

Cheng Zhu already had a guess but still pretended to be clueless as he walked to the window of the living room and opened it.

Looking down, he immediately saw Lin Lu standing in an open space.

She held a small cake in one hand and her phone in the other. Upon seeing Cheng Zhu open the window, she promptly raised the cake high and, in her usual habit, narrated for herself: "Ding, ding, ding, ding!"

Then, she glanced at the countdown on her phone, and the moment it hit midnight, she said into her phone: "Cheng Zhu! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!"

Though it was an anticipated little surprise, Cheng Zhu still stood by the window, a smile appearing on his face.

"Weren’t you mad? Why are you here to wish me a happy birthday in the middle of the night?" He held his phone, gazing down at the spirited girl below, and asked with a grin.

The cute girlfriend’s reply only broadened the smile on his face.

Little Lu was always forthright, always passionate.

She looked up at him, tilting her head back confidently, and said in an obvious tone:

"What’s that got to do with it? Just because I’m mad doesn’t mean I stopped liking you!"
