"What else can I do? But... " Lu Jinnian's words were extremely natural and relaxed, as though he didn't care about his birthday at all.
Qiao Anhao furrowed her brows, and peeked through the crack in the door. Coincidentally, she saw Lu Jinnian sitting in front of the desk with his head lowered, leisurely flipping through some documents. Halfway through, he suddenly looked as though he had remembered something. He lifted his head, and looked into the empty space in front of him. His expression was slightly dazed, and then a trace of self-mockery appeared on his handsome face. He lowered his head, and flipped through the documents. With an emotionless voice, he said nonchalantly, "Besides, there's nothing much to celebrate on my birthday."
There was nothing much to celebrate. Ever since his mother passed away, the number of people in this world who knew of his birthday could be counted. His father, his father's wife, and his grandfather... But on his birthday, those people only cared about celebrating Xu Jiamu's birthday. How could they remember him? So, there really was nothing much to celebrate... Besides, there was no one to celebrate his birthday with...
The assistant didn't say anything.
The study room was very quiet.
Lu Jinnian sat elegantly in front of the desk, and continued to flip through the documents. From Qiao Anhao's perspective, Lu Jinnian didn't look any different from his usual aloof self. Even the tone of his voice just now was cold and emotionless. But she didn't know why, but she could see a hint of sadness and loneliness from him.
She clearly remembered that on Xu Jiamu's birthday, he would often invite everyone out to play. It would always be a lively celebration, and Lu Jinnian would always appear. Every time, he would give Xu Jiamu a birthday present. He looked calm, but who would have thought that on that day, it was actually his birthday. He just watched from the side as his little brother, who had the same birthday as him, received so many presents and blessings. And he, who had the same birthday as him, didn't even hear the most basic "Happy Birthday".
Qiao Anhao's heart ached. She leaned against the wall, and stood for a long time. Only when Madam Chen came out of the dining room did she snap back to her senses and knock on the study room door.
In the afternoon, Lu Jinnian left with his assistant, as there might be something going on at Huan Ying Entertainment.
Since she didn't have to film, she had nothing to do. Remembering that it was Lu Jinnian's birthday and Xu Jiamu's birthday on Friday, she decided to buy them both presents. Out of habit, she called Zhao Meng, but she went out with her boyfriend. Qiao Anhao didn't want to disturb them, so after some thought, she called Qiao Anxia.
Qiao Anxia worked at Qiao Corporation, so she didn't have much free time. When she heard that Qiao Anhao wanted to go shopping, she immediately agreed without hesitation.
Coincidentally, both Qiao Anhao and Qiao Anxia had the same license plate number, so they were both restricted on the road today. Qiao Enterprise was right next to the business district, so Qiao Anhao decided to take the subway to find Qiao Anxia. The two of them walked to the business district.
Qiao Anxia still remembered Xu Jiamu's birthday, so when she was picking out a present for him, she also picked one out.
Just as Qiao Anxia was about to pay the bill, Qiao Anhao leaned against the counter and didn't leave. Instead, she stared at the items inside one by one. In the end, she saw an elegant tie clip, and immediately pointed it out to the sales lady.
