Jin Lan pushed Ye Wan back into the banquet hall. After the three of them returned, Lin Feiwei stood up and asked with a smile, "Ye Wan, you're here too. I bought Ah Ting a custom-made tie clip from France. What gift did you bring?"
Gu Yunting already knew what Ye Wan had bought. Sun Ma had long since informed him. Lego and a shirt. While he found the Lego a bit childish, he could assemble it for her in his spare time as long as it was from her.
As for the shirt, it was a gift that only close people could give. If she could put it on him herself, he would accept it even if it was a bit cheap.
Others were very curious about who this ordinary-looking beauty was, and why President Gu would personally pick her up.
"I thought I was invited to help, so I didn't bring a gift," Ye Wan replied indifferently.
Lin Feiwei's anger flared when she saw Ye Wan's expression. She always had a detached demeanor, as if she didn't care about anything. Even though she knew she was a Miss from the Lin family, she still pretended to be aloof and unconcerned. Who was she trying to impress?
She didn't believe there was anyone in this world who didn't like money!
"Alright, alright, everyone's here. Let's cut the cake first. Ye Wan, since you're here to help, you can accompany Brother Ting to cut the cake," Jin Lan clapped her hands to signal.
Gu Yunting glanced at Lin Feiwei indifferently. Lin Feiwei's expression froze, and she dared not say more. She was afraid of displeasing Gu Yunting and could only suppress her anger.
Everyone moved to the cake on the tenth tier. Jin Lan pushed Ye Wan to Gu Yunting's side and handed her a cake knife.
Ye Wan could only take it under everyone's gaze. When she tried to hand it to Gu Yunting, he directly held her hand and cut the cake from top to bottom.
Ye Wan: "..."
Lin Feiwei was almost furious. She, the fiancée, should be the one cutting the birthday cake with Gu Yunting. Ye Wan must have done it on purpose.
The gazes of those around her changed.
The birthday boy made the first cut, completing his task. Then, the waiters came to portion the cake. Ye Wan also received a slice. She was currently messaging Jiang Jingxiu, telling him where she had bought the items.
However, she felt a strange feeling in her heart. She thought it would be better to be honest with Gu Yunting.
Jin Lan quietly asked her if she had told Jiang Jingxiu. Ye Wan nodded reluctantly, her expression a little unpleasant.
"The cake doesn't taste good?" Gu Yunting walked over and asked.
Ye Wan quickly put away her phone and looked at the snow-white cake in front of her, topped with a red cherry, looking quite tempting.
She immediately shook her head, "No, I haven't eaten it yet... It looks delicious. Happy birthday."
Ye Wan suddenly regretted it. Should she have prepared a gift for him? At least their interactions had been pleasant lately, and he had even taught her how to buy lottery tickets. Sun Ma was right; appeasing him would make her life a little easier, and it was worth it.
As Ye Wan thought this, the delicious cake in front of her became tasteless. She suddenly remembered that she had given him a birthday gift once when she was little, which was just a candy she thought could bring happiness.
He hadn't eaten it then, saying he would keep it well, and that it was the most precious gift he had ever received because she had given him her own happiness.
Ye Wan listened to his words and felt incredibly happy then, even happier than eating the candy of happiness herself.
The beautiful memories came too fiercely, making Ye Wan's face turn pale... She quickly lowered her head and took several bites of the cake.
