Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything. He merely nodded and got into the car.
Gu Qingcheng was now living in Russia's third largest city, Yekaterinburg.
Yekaterinburg was the central city of Russia's Ural Federal District, the capital of Sverdlovsk Oblast.
As a cover, Gu Qingcheng opened a transportation company in Yekaterinburg. The underground of the company's factory was their base.
After Gu Qingcheng took over the entire organization from Fu Huai 'an, he moved it from America to Russia's Yekaterinburg.
Gu Qingcheng was very secretive. To the outside world, Gu Qingcheng was merely the boss of a foreign company. Even the driver, who had been with Gu Qingcheng for a few years, didn't notice anything.
When they reached the main road and stopped at a red light, Gu Qingcheng turned his head and saw a cake shop by the side of the road …
Did all girls like it?
Gu Qingcheng thought of Yun Liuli's fair and pretty face and said to the driver in fluent Russian, "Stop at a cake shop when you see one. Buy a cake for me and your sister."
The driver was a little surprised, but he didn't ask much and just nodded.
The driver was very familiar with this road. Very soon, he stopped the car at the next intersection and jogged into the cake shop.
A few minutes later, the driver came out with a one-pound cake and a small piece of cake and put them in the trunk.
Perhaps because the boss was going home, the driver thought that the boss wouldn't be eating alone, so he bought a one-pound cake. His sister was eating alone, so a small piece was enough.
Gu Qingcheng had never interacted with girls before. He didn't like them and always felt that they were too noisy.
Logically speaking, it was a good thing that Yun Liuli was very quiet, so quiet that one could ignore her. But when Gu Qingcheng thought of the lonely back view of that child hugging a doll in front of the window, he couldn't help but feel upset.
Gu Qingcheng frowned. He loosened his collar and loosened his tie, then casually set it aside. He couldn't help but wonder how Yun Shoushan raised his daughter to be so … slow!
Other than the word slow, Gu Qingcheng really didn't know what else to use to describe Yun Liuli.
Fifteen to seventeen years old was the most carefree and brilliant age. Gu Qingcheng didn't have a family in the past, and he was an orphan. During that period of time, he didn't have a good life. However, Yun Liuli had a father and a kind stepmother.
Gu Qingcheng didn't understand, but he couldn't comment on Yun Shoushan's family matters.
The car drove in, and the butler opened the door for Gu Qingcheng. "Sir!"
Gu Qingcheng removed his suit jacket and placed it over his arm, then said to the butler, "Take the cake to that child …"
If all the girls liked it, then that little girl should like it too!
Gu Qingcheng looked up at the window of the guest room Yun Liuli was in, then walked in.
The butler took the cake from the chauffeur and was a little surprised. An entire pound of cake was given to Miss Yun?
The butler wanted to turn around and ask Gu Qingcheng, but Gu Qingcheng had already gone upstairs.
Then, should the cake be given to Miss Yun along with the box, or should it be cut and given to Miss Yun?!
After giving it some thought, the butler took the cake cutting tools and plates upstairs and knocked on Yun Liuli's door.
Just now, Yun Liuli had already seen a car drive in. It was the same car that had picked up Gu Qingcheng yesterday.
Hearing the knock on the door, she thought it was Gu Qingcheng, so she got up and opened the door. She was a little surprised to see the butler holding a beautiful box and standing outside the door with a smile.
"Miss Yun, Sir asked me to bring this to you when he came back. Do you want to get someone to cut it and serve it to you, or do you want to cut it yourself?" the butler asked.
Yun Liuli's eyes trembled slightly. Ever since she could remember, she had never had something like a cake on her birthday.
Actually, Yun Liuli also hoped that on her birthday … someone would celebrate her birthday with her, stick candles on the cake, then wish her a happy birthday and urge her to make a wish.
She reached out to take the cake, not saying a word. Her bright and black eyes looked toward the butler, but she didn't say a word.
The butler passed the plates and the cake cutting tools to her, then asked, "Would Miss Yun like black tea or green tea?"
The cake was sweet, but some tea was just right.
Yun Liuli shook her head. The butler understood what she meant and nodded. "Then, what instructions do you have for me, Miss Yun?"
Yun Liuli nodded.
She held the silk bow of the cake, her palms covered in a thin layer of sweat. After closing the door, Yun Liuli carefully placed the cake on the table and opened it …
The aroma of cream and matcha wafted over, very alluring.
Yun Liuli's eyes felt hot, and Gu Qingcheng's cold and handsome face appeared in her mind.
Did he specially buy a cake for her because he knew that it was her birthday today?
Yun Liuli's heart thumped, and she felt sour in her heart.
This was the first birthday cake she could remember. Yun Liuli lowered her head and wiped away the tears in her eyes with the back of her hand. Her nostrils flared, and her tears were like pearls from a broken necklace. Even when she used her arm to cover her eyes, she couldn't stop the tears. She pursed her lips tightly, but she couldn't help but sob.
This was the first time in her life that Yun Liuli had such strong emotions. This was the first time … she sobbed like this.
She didn't know if she was upset or some other emotion. Yun Liuli held onto the desk and squatted down, crying like an abandoned child.
…
Gu Qingcheng didn't return for the entire night. He took a hot shower to wash away his fatigue.
After changing into his home clothes and coming out of the bathroom, he didn't even have time to dry his hair before he answered a few calls. He had just hung up when his phone rang again. Before he could answer the call, someone knocked on the door.
Thinking it was the butler, Gu Qingcheng said, "Come in …"
After saying that, Gu Qingcheng answered the call and turned around. "Speak …"
He bent over to pick up the pack of cigarettes, then shook one out and bit it at the corner of his lips. He then took a lighter and lit it up.
Hearing the sound of the door handle being slowly turned, Gu Qingcheng straightened his body and turned his head, looking in the direction of the door. No one entered.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he brushed off the person on the other end of the line. "Mm, I know."
After the door slowly opened, Gu Qingcheng saw the young lady protecting the cake with one hand and carefully pushing the door open with the other. Her movements were clumsy and awkward.
The young lady pushed the door open and looked in Gu Qingcheng's direction. Seeing that Gu Qingcheng was holding onto his phone and making a call, she stood nervously at the door, her hands gripping the edge of the cake tray tightly, looking like she was waiting for Gu Qingcheng to finish his call.
"I have something on here. I'll call you back later!"
After hanging up the call, Gu Qingcheng's gaze swept over the cake Yun Liuli was holding and he asked, "What's the matter?"
Yun Liuli gripped the cake tray even more tightly and said in a low voice, "Thank you for the cake."
Gu Qingcheng nodded, waiting for the young lady to continue.
She sniffled, then raised her head and said to Gu Qingcheng, "This cake is my first birthday cake in so many years. Thank you!"
