Jian Hang only knew most of the people at the ‘cocktail party’ tonight, and there were still a few people she didn’t know. They didn’t show up at Qin Xing’s birthday party and she hasn’t met them.

Qin Moling introduced them to her one by one.

Because of the difference in their status, she couldn’t talk to them, so it was Qin Moling who talked to them.

A few minutes later, the fireworks soared into the sky, blooming brilliantly, lighting up the night sky.

The waiter pushed the cake over and stopped next to Jian Hang.

Until this moment, Jian Hang hadn’t realized that Qin Moling was celebrating her birthday. She thought the cake was specially prepared for the cocktail party.

Qin Xing finally didn’t have to hold it back anymore, “Sister-in-law, happy birthday.”

Jian Hang was stunned and looked at Qin Moling. He must have remembered it wrongly.

“That’s right.” Qin Moling remembered her birthday, and he told her when it was. “We’re just celebrating in advance.”

He told them before not to make a fuss for her birthday, as there were still two months before the wedding, and if they wanted to make a fuss, they could do it when picking up the bride.

Only Qin Shu smiled and urged, “Sister-in-Law, make a wish quickly.”

Qin Moling raised his chin slightly and said, “Blow out the candles first.”

Jian Hang then looked at the cake carefully. It had three layers in total and the design was very simple. The white cream was dotted with gorgeous rose petals, and each layer had a letter made of chocolate pasted on it.

The three letters put together read ‘CEO’.

He said to her, “Happy birthday, may all your dreams come true.”

It was a simple blessing, and Jian Hang was moved.

If it weren’t for the fact that he didn’t like close contact in public, she would definitely have hugged him.

She made a wish and blew out the candles.

Another group of brilliant fireworks soared into the sky, colorful and gorgeous.

… …

Lin Xiao looked up at the fireworks. The colorful lights seemed to signal the brilliant future of the she-devil. He himself felt like the ash left behind after the fireworks bloomed.

When the wind blew, no one knew where it would be blown to.

The birthday party lasted until two in the morning.

Back in the room, Jian Hang made up for the hug she wanted to give him earlier when he made that wish for her.

She locked the door and hugged him gently.

Qin Moling thought she wanted to do it, so he put his arm around her with his right hand and began pulling his shirt out of his trousers with his left hand.

Jian Hang was surrounded, enveloped by the faint smell of red wine on him.

When he was in a meeting, when he was with friends, when he was playing cards—he showed a different side of him that she was not familiar with. Only at this time was he hers alone.

There was still a long way to go before she could fully enter his life.

… …

The tide receded and the room became quiet.

There was sweat in Jian Hang’s hair and tears in her eyes. Her dress was still on, so she took it off and went to take a shower.

Qin Moling took off his watch, and there was a scratch on his wrist. She had scratched him unconsciously when she was in his arms just now. There was another one on his abdomen. She scratched him everywhere.

Putting down his watch, he found two hangover pills and took them.

He drank three cups of red wine tonight. The aftereffect of the wine was strong and he needed to sober up.

After taking a shower, Jian Hang put on Qin Moling’s T-shirt.

Qin Moling waited for her to come out before he went into the bathroom and took a cold shower.

He just took some hangover medicine and took a cold shower; he felt much more sober now.

He unlocked his phone and handed it to Jian Hang, “It’s your birthday, so you can have an exception and play a game.”

An unexpected surprise came up before bedtime, and Jian Hang sat up.

Qin Moling poured some warm water and placed it on the bedside. Worried that she would feel dizzy, he sat next to her and did nothing, watching her play games.

Jian Hang was immersed in the game and didn’t pay attention to what Qin Moling was doing. Qin Xing and Lin Xiao were both drunk tonight and didn’t catch her online. She played a game with her two besties.

Perhaps because she had been exercising recently, she didn’t feel dizzy after playing a game.

She wasn’t sure if she was completely free of her 3D sickness, but she should be able to play one or two games a day now. It was just that she would have to borrow Qin Moling’s phone every day, which was very inconvenient.

“I don’t feel 3D sick anymore for short periods.”

Jian Hang suggested, “How about I uninstall the game from your phone and download it myself, so it will be convenient for me to collect game items later.”

Qin Moling said nothing, took his phone and didn’t uninstall the app for her.

If the game was on her phone, she wouldn’t be able to control herself.

Jian Hang said, “I won’t be addicted. Soon, I won’t have time to play anymore.”

Qin Moling locked the screen and put his phone on the bedside table. “You don’t have to worry about the wedding. Just rest at home.”

“I’m not busy with the wedding.” Jian Hang looked at him, “I’ve been idle at home for a week, and I feel uneasy. I’ll go to work next Monday.” Knowing that he would definitely object, she promised, “Nine to five, no overtime, no socializing. I’ll go and get used to it first, and it’s also a good opportunity to meet Zhou Yi and Zheng Yanshu.”

Qin Moling thought for a while and finally nodded.

Jian Hang paused and said, “After working for so many years, I have a habit at lunch break.”

“What habit?”

“I play a game.”

“…”

Qin Moling thought she had the habit of taking a nap. If she wanted to take a nap, she could go to his office where he had a special lounge.

He should have known what she couldn’t let go of was the game.

“It’s not that you can’t play games. You don’t have to download them. Just come to my office and play.”

Jian Hang shook her head, “If I go to Lemeng, you will be my boss.”

There was no way she could play games in front of her boss at work. This was the most basic respect.

Qin Moling said, “It’s lunch break, I’m not your boss.”

She was the General Manager of the Fourth Division and also his wife. During lunch break, she could do whatever she wanted.

He will give her whatever she wanted.
