"In addition to the one already prepared, there is one more that Miss Jiang needs to pick up." The waiter smiled and brought Jiang Yansheng to the towering Christmas tree in the shop.
The Christmas tree was dazzling with socks, candy, and palm-sized red gift boxes. It looked very interesting.
Jiang Yansheng gently touched the branches of the tree. The rough and hard texture was very real. "Which one is on this tree?"
A gust of cool air blew in from outside the half-opened dessert shop. The waiter blinked. "There are 26 gift boxes on it. Miss Jiang can pick one of them. After you open it, you will find a special gift inside."
"Although I'm looking forward to it, can you tell me a little about what's inside?"
"Some are empty, some are very cheap, but isn't the feeling of uncertainty the most exciting thing?" The waiter took a step back and gave Jiang Yansheng space. "This is the romantic Christmas that the boss just decided on this morning. I hope Miss Jiang can pick a gift that you like."
Jiang Yansheng's eyes widened. She carefully looked at each gift box on the Christmas tree and found that no matter from which angle she looked at it, she couldn't see what was inside. Even the lines on each side of the wrapping paper were the same. She suppressed the nervousness in her heart and gently took one out.
The gift box was as light as it looked.
It was half the size of a palm, and the bow on the top was tied into the shape of a heart.
"If I take this, will someone else take the other 25 gift boxes?"
The waiter shook his head gently. "They will be taken care of tonight. After all, some of them are empty. It's not worth caring about."
"Can I open it here?"
"Of course."
Jiang Yansheng pulled out the bowtie and opened the lid. A crystal necklace lay quietly inside. It was decorated with a circle of small sapphires. One look and you could tell that it was very valuable. @(((
She subconsciously put the lid back on. "This thing is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Since the first time she came to Paris, she had only bought a meat floss bread, but the shop had given back far more than she had paid.
If there were twenty-six different gifts hanging on it, the one she received would definitely be the most valuable.
The waiter carefully helped Jiang Yansheng open it again. "This is the gift that Miss Jiang got. We'll post it on our WeChat account as a promotional event in the next few days. Let's take it as a little lucky draw."
"Did your boss buy the gifts?"
The waiter nodded. Jiang Yansheng gently fiddled with the gemstone on the necklace and smiled. "Ask your boss out next time. I'm a little curious about what kind of person she is. I still can't accept the necklace … "
In her opinion, the person who could open such a dreamy dessert shop must be a lady who lived a very high quality and exquisite life. At least this necklace could make all the women who received it smile.
The waiter said, "Boss may be a little busy recently. She didn't come over when the shop is open, but if Miss Jiang wants to see her, I'll tell her the truth."
Jiang Yansheng wanted to return the box to the waiter, but the waiter directly put his hands behind his back and blinked. "This is the task that Boss gave me. If Miss Jiang doesn't accept it, our whole shop will be in trouble."
"It's not that serious."
Jiang Yansheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she accepted it. She still felt a little guilty. In order to make up for the shop's losses, she bought a whole week's worth of bread before she left.
…
The waiter who was responsible for taking a detour with Jiang Yansheng was still in the same place. She watched the graceful figure disappear behind the glass door before she gently breathed a sigh of relief.
The other waiters behind her were stunned when they saw what she did. They touched the gift box on the Christmas tree in a daze. "Miss Jiang is really lucky."
"How could she get such a perfect gift?"
"Of course not."
The waiter smiled and moved her colleague's hand away. Then, she slowly took down the other gift boxes on the Christmas tree and neatly placed them in the basket.
"Actually, all the boxes on the Christmas tree are the same thing. No matter which one she takes down, the result will be the same."
"This is not luck." The waiter smiled slyly. "This is the boss's romance."
…
When she returned to the apartment, Jiang Yansheng was humming a song in a good mood with the necklace hanging around her neck.
She broke the rearview mirror and raised her chin to look at it.
Even in a dark place, it still shone with a luxurious and gorgeous luster.
She had only bought a whole bag of things from the dessert shop, but now, her left and right hands were stuffed full of things. In addition to the Thousand Layer Cake, which was limited every day and only for her, there was also a four-layer cake.
If it weren't for the fact that it was winter, she would have wondered if it was actually her birthday today.
When Jiang Yansheng opened the door with the bag under her arm, the key only turned once.
But she clearly remembered that she had locked the door twice this morning.
It seemed that … there was a guest at her house.
The lights at the entrance lit up. Jiang Yansheng glanced at the small Christmas tree that had appeared out of thin air in the living room and the candles that had been arranged romantically on the table. She opened her mouth, took a deep breath, and swallowed the words back down.
It was indeed quite cold.
She couldn't even speak properly.
"What's wrong? Are you so excited that you can't speak? " The man sat at the table, holding his chin with one hand and looking at the candles with great interest. When he heard the noise, he turned his head unhurriedly.
Jiang Yansheng's face darkened. "Did Mr. Gu really not go the wrong door?"
If she wasn't mistaken, this should be her home, right? Why was Gu Yan getting more and more familiar with the place now?
She opened the door and went out. When she lifted the mat at the door, her face was almost on the ground, but she was shocked to find that the spare key that had been placed there had disappeared!
This was impossible! Without this key, how did Gu Yan come in?
Jiang Yansheng turned her head suspiciously and happened to see the man's indifferent face and the slender fingers that were gently circling around his handsome face.
A familiar key was leisurely twirling around his fingers.
"Are you looking for this?" Gu Yan smiled and spoke with an inexplicable sense of sexiness.
She didn't know if it was an illusion caused by the flickering candles on the table.
Jiang Yansheng patted the dust off his hands and slammed the door. He walked over angrily and reached out to grab Gu Yan's key. "Why are you holding it? It's mine! "
"It's not yours. It's joint property," Gu Yan said.
His hand seemed to have a mind of its own. Every time Jiang Yansheng reached out to grab it, he would always be able to dodge it by a second and a half, maintaining a stalemate.
Jiang Yansheng was so angry that he couldn't even speak properly. "F * ck you … Give it to me, give it to me!"
Joint property? How could he have the cheek to say such a thing?
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows. "It's yours if you can grab it."
As he spoke, he stuffed the key into his pocket. Jiang Yansheng quickly wanted to cut off Gu Yan's retreat, but unexpectedly, her movements were a little too big. She didn't know where the strength came from, but she directly plunged into Gu Yan's arms.
"So passionate?" Gu Yan smiled in surprise. He held Jiang Yansheng's hand and gently touched his pocket through the fabric. "I didn't get it today, so I've used up my chance. Miss Jiang can only snatch it from me next time."
He put one of the man's hands on her waist and let her sit on the man's lap. His other hand gently protected her arm so that it wouldn't hit the sharp edges of the table.
Jiang Yansheng was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. "When did it become yours?"
"Since the day we got married."
Gu Yan's voice seemed to be arrogant and overbearing, and it swept through her brain like an explosion. "From that day on, everything you have is mine."
She retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted and shook it. "Mr. Gu, can you let go of my hand first …?"
She moved her legs nervously. Although the human cushion was quite comfortable, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles when she thought that this person might be up to no good.
"Don't move."
"If you want to go to bed immediately, you can continue moving."
A deep, magnetic voice rang in her ears.
The moist feeling on her earlobe almost made Jiang Yansheng's back stiffen, and she immediately stopped kicking her legs.
Damn it, was this person a dog? How dare he bite her?
Jiang Yansheng felt a tingling sensation in her heart, and she was angry and annoyed. She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. "I haven't eaten the cake I brought back. I left it at the door."
"I'm hungry. Let me go get it." Her body was trembling. Although she didn't dare move, she was trying to move Gu Yan's hand away from her waist.
"The box you brought back is quite big. Why? Did you buy a cake? "
"None of your business!" Jiang Yansheng rolled her eyes. Feeling the man's strength loosening for a moment, she immediately shook the man's hand off and jumped off him.
The moment she touched the floor, her legs went weak.
She raised her chin high and looked at Gu Ran condescendingly. She put her hands behind her back and quietly supported herself on the table. "Even if … even if I buy a cake, I won't share a single bite with you."
Gu Yan wasn't angry. He smiled and touched his lips. "What should I do then? I just came back and didn't have time to cook. "
"What were you busy doing?" Jiang Yansheng glared at her, pretending to be angry. She turned around and saw the candle on the table, and she was rendered speechless.
Meeting the man's cold eyes, it was as if he could perfectly blend the two opposite things, coldness and heat, and drown every inch of her body.
Jiang Yansheng couldn't help swallowing. "I'll go get something."
She turned around and heard the man say, "The necklace is beautiful."
