Chapter 330 - Birthday Surprise
Chapter 330: Birthday Surprise
Wei Zhiqian was still a humane person, and he wouldn’t fight with Tan Wenci.
Qin Muye counted and said, “A table can seat ten people in total! There are only seven now.”
There was enough room if they added in her and Ming Yeqing.
“There are so many empty tables. Why must you squeeze with us here?” Wei Zhiqian asked.
Qin Muye was livid.
At any rate, because of Qin Mufeng, Wei Zhiqian decided to give way and said, “It is all right for you to sit here, but not for Ming Yeqing.”
“Why?” Qin Muye asked again.
Wei Zhiqian really wanted to ask her, ‘Do you have 10,000 questions to ask?’
Then Qin Muye said, “Me, Yeqing, and Mo Mo have always been the closest friends and have never been apart.”
“They went to Beijing University first, and you stayed at Jixia Academy. You have been apart for two years,” Wei Zhiqian said without thinking.
Qin Muye: “……”
‘Must you disagree with everything?’
“Including you, the number of people at this table is eight. It is auspicious,” Wei Zhiqian willfully made up a reason.
Qin Muye:”……”
“In the olden days, people said that nine is a noble number!” Qin Muye said.
Wei Zhiqian raised his brows. This person who qualified for Beijing University indeed has knowledge.
“Nine is noble and also extreme,” Wei Zhiqian said. “Anything that is extreme is not always very good. It is good to have a little room to breathe.”
Qin Muye: “……”
Ming Yeqing could tell that Wei Zhiqian was against him.
He smiled and discreetly pulled Qin Muye over and was about to speak when Qin Mufeng came over.
“Follow me to that table. Dad and Mom are both there,” Qin Mufeng said.
Dad, Mom, and her brother were here. Qin Muye naturally could not cast them aside.
So she pulled Ming Yeqing along and followed Qin Mufeng over.
Other than the Qin family, there was only Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan at the table.
Han Zhuoli and the rest had a table to themselves.
Therefore, when Ming Yeqing followed them and sat down, Qin Zhenglu raised a brow.
It was not that he looked down on Ming Yeqing.
He was a genius, a beloved mentee of Professor Yue, and the son of the Ming family.
No matter which point was enough for people to look up to.
However, Ming Yeqing stood out at this table.
Qin Zhenglu turned his head and queried Dong Hanbi.
Dong Hanbi said with a smile, “Muye and Yeqing have a good relationship. With Muye here, Yeqing has someone to talk to and is not lonely.”
The more Qin Zhenglu looked at Dong Hanbi’s smile, the more suspicious he became.
Dong Hanbi squeezed his hand discreetly under the table.
Qin Zhenglu turned his head, and he saw Dong Hanbi signaling discreetly toward Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing, who were talking to each other.
Anyway, she felt that Ming Yeqing was a good child.
He was gentle, trustworthy, righteous, and with principles.
During his first year at Jixia Academy, he had ignored the ostracization from the others and stood by Tan Mo’s side. Qin Muye had told her about it then.
Other than being close to Qin Muye and Tan Mo, they did not see Ming Yeqing being close to any other girls.
After he started attending Beijing University, he had been immersed in his studies and did not even have any time for entertainment.
He was close to Qin Muye and was especially caring toward her.
Dong Hanbi felt that they should let the pair develop naturally.
It would be fate if they really could only be friends or be more than that.
Qin Muye had also grown up, and it was time for her to date.
Dong Hanbi was especially open-minded.
Qin Zhenglu and Dong Hanbi had been a couple for many years and had great chemistry.
There were many things that Dong Hanbi did not need to say out loud, and he could already understand with a look from her.
Qin Zhenglu looked at Ming Yeqing again, and the expression in his eyes changed.
This was the wolf cub coveting his young daughter.
Dong Hanbi: “……”
Qin Zhenglu squinted. It was time to keep an eye on Ming Yeqing.
If he dared to do anything that would let Qin Muye down…
Qin Mufeng: “……”
He also did not want Ming Yeqing to sit here, but Qin Muye pulled him over without a word.
“Brother, why did you not tell me you were coming?” Qin Muye had just sat down when she started to settle a score with Qin Mufeng. He was too much!
“Zhiqian informed us at the last minute,” Qin Mufeng explained.
He had called him just an hour ago and had him rush over.
He had put aside the company’s affairs and come over immediately.
He wanted to ask Wei Zhiqian, ‘Was this something a human being would do?’
Qin Muye didn’t care about these details and pointed at Tan Mo’s dress. “Brother, does it look nice?”
“I don’t dare to look at it.” Qin Mufeng truly was a man of his word and didn’t look at Tan Mo at all.
Qin Muye: “……”
What was this?
“I am talking about Mo Mo’s dress!” Qin Muye felt depressed.
Must she say it clearly for her brother?
She’d thought that she wouldn’t need to say it explicitly to such an intelligent person.
Qin Mufeng quickly swept his gaze over Tan Mo. “It is quite nice. Do you also want it?”
Qin Muye: “……”
Who would ask in this way?
Moreover, she did not want an exact copy.
Of course she wanted to be like Tan Mo, to have a piece that belonged only to her and to no one else.
“Brother Zhiqian had specially contacted the designer of Goddess brand and had it designed just for Mo Mo. Only she has it in the whole world,” Qin Muye said. “Moreover, Mo Mo did not know about it and only knew when Brother Zhiqian took her to the store to try it on before today’s banquet.”
“Mo Mo was especially surprised!” Qin Muye looked at Qin Mufeng.
The main point was that she was surprised. Surprised, got it?
The dress was not important.
Whether it was a dress or not did not matter.
But there must be a surprise!
By looking at his expression, it seemed that Qin Mufeng did not understand.
Qin Muye was anxious. “Brother! Do I have to say it directly? It is my 18th birthday next month. Did you prepare a surprise for me?”
Qin Mufeng still had the same unreadable expression. “Of course!”
Qin Muye looked at him in doubt.
Could he be bluffing?
He hadn’t prepared earlier and decided to change his mind at the last minute after he heard her mention it?
Never mind.
Anyway, Qin Mufeng said there was.
Even if there was not, he had to be true to his word and create a surprise somehow.
Ming Yeqing picked up a portion of a cold dish for Qin Muye. It was boneless chicken feet soaked in lemon and chili, a dish Qin Muye especially liked.
He did not expect to see this dish on the hotel’s menu.
Ming Yeqing thought that it must be that Tan Mo specially instructed her family to order this dish.
The boneless chicken feet had just landed on the plate in front of Qin Muye, and she picked it up to eat.
The chicken feet were chewy and crispy, plus the fragrance of the lemon filled her mouth, and it was also mixed with the spiciness of chili.
It was truly appetizing and enjoyable.
Qin Muye’s mouth was shiny and oily, and she tilted her head and smiled at Ming Yeqing in satisfaction.
Qin Mufeng: “……”
The little rascal!
“Eat less spicy food or you might get pimples on your face,” Qin Mufeng reminded her.
Qin Muye: “……”
Couldn’t he let her eat in peace?
Qin Mufeng did not control her so much at home.
There was no surprise, and he would not let her eat now.
He was too much!
