In order to celebrate Xin Qing's birthday, Zhang Mi and Aunt Tian had made her a cake. Ah Sha held the cake and brought it to Xin Qing in a crooked manner.
"Happy birthday, mommy!"
"Thank you, Asha!" Xin Qing took the cake and gave her a kiss. They sat around the Christmas tree and ate the cake. In the end, they were all covered in cream. After taking a shower that night, Xin Qing lay on the bed with her phone in her hand. She kept staring at her watch. When it was one minute to twelve, her phone suddenly rang. Xin Qing picked it up almost at the same time.
"Baby?" A deep voice came from the other side of the phone. "How did you pick up so quickly?"
Xin Qing burst into tears. "I... I knew you would call me. I've been holding the phone in my hand."
"Hahaha!" Ying Qingcang's laughter was like the melody of a cello in the silent night. It was intoxicating. A sigh seemed to come from a faraway place. "Happy birthday. I miss you so much!" He was sitting in his car. The car was parked by the side of the road. Couples were walking around him.
Xin Qing sniffed. "I miss you too. Especially today."
"I know. I promise I'll spend your birthday with you next year. Not just next year, but every year from now on, I'll be by your side!" Ying Qingcang was eager to express his feelings. He was afraid that his little woman would be sad. He was even more afraid that she would be discouraged by waiting for him.
Xin Qing smiled mischievously. "You owe me at least that... that much. You can pay me back slowly in the future!"
"Yeah! I'll pay you back with my whole life, "Ying Qingcang said softly." Childe Shen will be there tomorrow. Your birthday present is with him. "
"What did you give me?" Xin Qing asked curiously.
"Just a little toy!" Ying Qingcang thought of Boss Wan's pained expression and said proudly, "You'll find out tomorrow."
Someone had said that the farther apart a couple was, the closer their hearts were. On such a night, the two people on the other side of the ocean comforted each other through their voices. It was sad but warm. In the end, Xin Qing lay on the bed with the phone in her hand. Neither of them was willing to hang up first. They kept talking until Ying Qingcang could no longer hear any sound from the other side of the phone. Only the sound of her breathing could be heard. Then, he kissed the phone gently.
"Good night! Baby. "
After hanging up, he picked up another phone that was flashing non-stop.
"Hey."
"A Cang! What are you doing? You haven't picked up your phone for so long. I've been calling for almost two hours. " Tang Shuang's angry voice came from the other side of the phone. Ying Qingcang said calmly, "I was drinking with Childe Shen. The music was too loud. I couldn't hear anything."
Tang Shuang was silent for a moment. "Where are you guys having fun? I'm coming too. It's Christmas today. How can you leave me alone?"
"Then I'll ask Ah Chul to pick you up. You wait at home." Ying Qingcang hung up the phone and walked into the KTV behind him. In the private room, Childe Shen was drinking with a beautiful woman downstairs. When he saw Tang Shuang enter, he slapped the woman's butt. The woman winked at him and left. Childe Shen reached out his hand. "Where's my phone?"
Ying Qingcang threw the phone to him. Childe Shen touched it. "Tsk tsk. It's so hot. It's about to explode."
"Tang Shuang is coming." Ying Qingcang opened all the bottles of wine and poured some into his hand.
Childe Shen frowned. "You asked her to come?"
"She kept calling. If I don't let her come, she'll be suspicious."
"Easy!" Childe Shen handed him an invitation card. "Tomorrow is the premiere of Ling Lang's movie. Take her to it. Tomorrow is Christmas. She won't be suspicious anymore."
Ying Qingcang took it and flipped through it. "You like this actress very much?"
"Like what?" Childe Shen curled his lips.
"It's been two years and she still hasn't broken up."
"That's because she's obedient!" Childe Shen poured himself a glass of wine with satisfaction. "She's not greedy. She's not noisy. She doesn't make trouble. She plays the role of a vase obediently. Her performance in bed is also commendable. It's rare to find someone who is so cooperative. It's okay to spoil her a little more! "
Ying Qingcang didn't say anything. He didn't tell Childe Shen that during the Spring Festival, Zhang Mi went to New York for a vacation. Shen Batian gave her the Dragon King's Token, which was the symbol of the matriarch of the underworld. In other words, even if Childe Shen married someone else in the future, that woman wouldn't be qualified to be respected by the underworld brothers. They would only recognize the woman with the Dragon King's Token as their matriarch. Only Zhang Mi would be called sister-in-law...
This was the first time he saw Zhang Mi show the Dragon King's Token to Xin Qing. Probably because he didn't want to scare her, he didn't tell Zhang Mi the significance of the Dragon King's Token. He just told her not to lose it. Zhang Mi thought it was a gift from the old man and casually threw it in her bag.
She went to see Ying Qingcang last night, but she didn't stay for more than a few minutes before he went home. He didn't touch her after he came back, saying that he was drunk and dizzy, so he went straight to bed. When she woke up in the morning, she wanted to ask what the plan was for tonight. But when she opened her eyes, he was already gone. She called Ying Qingcang, but it was Anam who answered. He said that he was in a meeting and was not free now.
When it was time for dinner, Ying Qingcang still hadn't come back. Tang Shuang was about to call Ying Qingcang again, but Ying Qingcang called her.
"After dinner, change your clothes and wait for me. I'll come back to pick you up."
Tang Shuang's grievance disappeared instantly. She asked excitedly, "Where are we going?"
"To the premiere," Ying Qingcang said before hanging up. "Dress up. There will be a lot of reporters."
He wanted everyone to know that she was Mrs. Ying! Tang Shuang was so happy that she almost went crazy. She opened the wardrobe and began to choose clothes. At the same time, Childe Shen was sitting at Xin Qing's house, drinking chicken soup.
"That's a birthday present." He pursed his lips. "You two lied to me so hard. You knew everything, but you pretended to forget. You made me worry about you for so long!"
Xin Qing took it. "I didn't tell anyone. Zhang Mi didn't know either."
"Can she compare with me?" Childe Shen snorted. "If you tell her, it's no different than telling the whole world."
"Haha!" Xin Qing said with a grin. "You really know her!"
She opened the box. Inside was a simple silver ring. The ring was made of a black gemstone, and there was not even a pattern on it. Xin Qing picked it up in surprise. She turned it over and looked at it. "A ring?" She did not believe that Ying Qingcang would give her something like this. It did not meet her aesthetic standards at all. Besides, Ying Qingcang knew that she did not like black.
Childe Shen approached her mysteriously. "Is the GPS tracker behind your neck still there?"
"Yeah!" Xin Qing touched it. It was funny. When she was kidnapped by the bad guys last time, no one remembered that she had this on her. No one used the satellite to find her. It was only later that they realized what a stupid mistake they had made.
"This thing goes with the one around your neck." Childe Shen asked her to put the ring on. "Touch the GPS tracker." Xin Qing raised her hand and touched it. Then, she raised it in front of her eyes and stared at it. The black gemstone on the ring seemed to flash. Then, a palm-sized blue light screen appeared in the air. It flashed a few times and turned into Boss Wan's face.
"Xin Qing, happy birthday." His face was cold, and his voice was eerie. Xin Qing did not think that he was giving her a blessing.
She took the ring off her finger and tried to figure out what it was. However, the image started to blur.
"You have to wear it." Childe Shen reminded her. Xin Qing put the ring back. Then, she realized that Boss Wan had the same expression on his face. He did not say anything. "Is it a toy?" she asked. "It's a high-tech toy recorded in advance. What else would he say?"
"Pfft!" Childe Shen laughed. "Xiao Qingqing, if it was recorded in advance, shouldn't you use Ying Qingcang's head? Why use Boss Wan's head? "
Xin Qing smacked her head. "Yeah! Then what is this? "
"This is a virtual satellite image." The dark voice rang out again. Boss Wan's head moved.
Xin Qing poked the blue screen with her finger. "Is this real?"
"Yes. If you run into any danger in the future, you can contact me through this. I can see everything that happens on your side." Boss Wan paused. Then, he added, "Think of it as an early betrothal gift."
Xin Qing was confused by the last sentence. "What do you mean?" “
"My son wants to marry your daughter," Boss Wan said in an affirmative tone instead of a question. Xin Qing finally knew who Xunxun took after...
Childe Shen's lips twitched. "Alright. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. Satellite fees are pretty expensive."
"You don't have to pay for it. It's just stealing American satellite signals."
Xin Qing and Childe Shen rolled their eyes at that. Then, Childe Shen pressed the surface of the ring and the image disappeared.
"A Cang has been bringing Tang Shuang to public events recently. We think the person behind this will make a move soon. But he's so cunning that he might not make a move on Tang Shuang directly. We're worried that you might still be in danger. Wear this ring well. Nothing must happen to you. Otherwise, A Cang won't be able to live."
Xin Qing nodded. "I will. I won't be a burden and distract you guys."
"And don't go out with strangers. If you want to go shopping, go with Zhang Mi. With her mediocre martial arts skills, she should have no problem escaping." Childe Shen suddenly remembered something. "That guy isn't here?"
"He went on a date."
Childe Shen was stunned. Then, he smiled. "Someone actually went on a date with her!"
"What's with that look?" Xin Qing glared at him. "All your other women combined can't compare to Zhang Mi!"
As they spoke, they heard movement at the door. Before Xin Qing could stand up, Childe Shen had already walked to the door and opened it. Zhang Mi was standing at the door. She was lying on top of Anthony, her hand drawing circles on his chest as she spoke shyly.
"Thank you. I had a lot of fun! Let's go again next time, okay? "
Anthony hugged her and was about to say yes when he felt a cold gaze on him. He looked up and saw Childe Shen standing there with a dark expression on his face.
Zhang Mi noticed that Anthony had been staring at the door for a long time. She turned around curiously and was met with Childe Shen's mocking smile.
