Chi Yeche sped back to the villa, and the normal journey of more than an hour was reduced to forty minutes.

It was already ten twenty when Chi Yeche returned home.

Hearing the sound of the car, Fang Ye came to the door.

"Sir, you are back."

Chi Yeche walked quickly into the house and saw that the living room was empty and Qiao Ximo was not there.

"Where is she?" Chi Yeche asked. It was obvious who was asking.

Fang Ye didn't say anything but glanced at the restaurant.

Thinking that Fang Ye said Qiao Ximo was in the restaurant, Chi Yeche came to the restaurant, but no one saw Qiao Ximo.

Looking back at Fang Ye, Chi Yeche couldn't help but frown: "Where is she?"

Fang Ye would never joke with him. He clearly knew that he was in a hurry to find Qiao Ximo, so he would not do such a boring thing at this time.

"This meal is a gift prepared by Miss Qiao for Mr. Qiao."

Fang Ye did not directly answer Chi Yeche's question, but his words made Chi Yeche startled.

His eyes moved to the dishes on the table. This was... what she prepared for him?

"After Mr. Qiao went to England, Miss Qiao learned cooking from Aunt Li every day, just so that she could cook a table of dishes for Mr. today." Although Fang Ye felt that it was not good to tell Mr. Qiao Ximo this on his behalf, but if he didn't say it, Qiao would

She wouldn't say anything about the young lady's character. Maybe the husband would never know Qiao Ximo's intentions at this time.

After hearing Fang Ye's words, even though Fang Ye just spoke calmly, Chi Yeche could faintly feel the hint of blame in Fang Ye's tone.

Indeed, if what Fang Ye said is true, he must have disappointed Qiao Ximo if he only came back now, right?

"Where is she now?" Chi Yeche asked, frowning and looking at the table of cold dishes.

"Miss Qiao said she didn't want to wait any longer and had already gone upstairs."

"I understand." Chi Yeche said, sitting in front of the dining table and picking up the chopsticks placed aside.

"Sir, you are back. The food is already cold. Do you want me to heat it up for you?" Aunt Li walked out of the room and saw Chi Yeche who seemed to be preparing to eat and walked over to ask.

"No need." After being warmed by Aunt Li, maybe it doesn't smell like Qiao Ximo anymore...

Savoring every dish Qiao Ximo cooked, it was obviously a very ordinary home-cooked dish. It was obvious that I had eaten dishes made by world-renowned chefs in the most upscale restaurant in Q city before. It was obvious that these dishes had become cold, but

For Chi Yeche, this seemed to be a delicious food that he had never tasted before.

Although he had already eaten before, Chi Yeche ate a lot of cold dishes on the table at this time.

Chi Yeche got up and went upstairs to Qiao Ximo's room.

Qiao Ximo had heard the news of Chi Yeche's return, but Qiao Ximo had been hiding in bed and covering his head with the quilt.

So what if he comes back now, she no longer wants to celebrate his birthday!

It doesn't matter whether she celebrates his birthday or not, because someone must have already celebrated his birthday!

At this moment, Qiao Ximo only heard a "click" and his door was opened.

The light from the corridor penetrated into the dark room, and Chi Yeche could clearly see the outline of Qiao Ximo lying on the bed.

"Asleep?"

Hearing Chi Yeche's voice, the tears that Qiao Ximo had been holding back suddenly fell down for no apparent reason.

Biting her lips and holding back tears, Qiao Ximo did not answer Chi Yeche.

However, even if Qiao Ximo didn't answer, Chi Yeche knew that she was not asleep, she was still awake.

Walking quietly to the bed, Chi Yeche stretched out his hand to pull Qiao Ximo's quilt. As if he knew what Chi Yeche was going to do, Qiao Ximo hugged his quilt tightly as if on guard.

Seeing Qiao Ximo hugging the quilt tightly as if to defend herself, Chi Yeche couldn't help but frown, with a trace of guilt and a trace of distress in his eyes.

I don’t know since when, he who originally only had hatred for Qiao Ximo, now has feelings of distress appearing in his eyes.

"I know you're not asleep yet."

Chi Yeche said, but Qiao Ximo still turned her back to him.

"I didn't expect you to know my birthday, nor did I expect you to prepare a birthday gift for me. I'm sorry that I came back now and kept you waiting for so long."

Hearing that Chi Yeche actually said sorry to her, Qiao Ximo's tears couldn't help but burst into her eyes again.

"I just made the food you ate, and it tasted delicious."

Chi Yeche's words shocked Qiao Ximo's heart. Did he eat the food she cooked?

"The dishes are already cold...why didn't you ask Aunt Li to heat them up..."

Eating cold dishes on such a cold day will not be good for your stomach...

Hearing Qiao Ximo's crying voice, Chi Yeche couldn't help but frown deeper. He sat on the bed and reached out to hug Qiao Ximo.

Through the moonlight shining in from the window, Chi Yeche could see that Qiao Ximo's eyes seemed to be filled with clear springs.

I didn't ask Qiao Ximo why she was crying, because the reason for her crying was obvious.

Chi Yeche turned his head and placed a gentle kiss on Qiao Ximo's forehead with his warm lips.

"Sorry to keep you waiting so long."

Chi Yeche never expected that Qiao Ximo would know his birthday. After all, if Jiang Yueqing hadn't suddenly come to the airport to block him and said that today was his birthday and wanted to go to dinner with him, Chi Yeche would never have thought of today at all.

It's his birthday.

He himself didn't remember how he knew that Qiao Ximo knew.

If he knew that Qiao Ximo would prepare a birthday gift for him, Chi Yeche would naturally not go to dinner with Jiang Yueqing.

"Where have you been since you returned to China today?"

He knew clearly that the answer he heard might make him unhappy, but even so... Qiao Ximo still wanted to know. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to know...

Chi Yeche pursed his lips and said, "Be with Chen."

There is no doubt that Chi Yeche told a lie. Tang Yunchen is still in the UK and has not come back with him.

Chi Yeche has never been a person who tells lies, and he has never even told white lies.

Because he never cared about other people's opinions and was not allowed to tell lies to anyone.

Chi Yeche couldn't understand why he blurted out and told Qiao Ximo that he was with Tang Yunchen.

But he knew that if he came back so late because he was with Jiang Yueqing, Qiao Ximo might care. At least he felt that Qiao Ximo might care.

"That's it..."

Tang Yunchen and Chi Yeche are very good brothers. Chen will definitely know his birthday. It is normal for them to spend it together...

"It's not twelve o'clock yet, is it?"

"It's ten forty now." Chi Yeche replied.

Qiao Ximo raised his eyes and looked at the profile of his face, where every line was perfect and impossible to fault.

"Happy birthday to you."

"Thank you." Chi Yeche responded in a low voice.

I once promised a person that I would only spend his birthday with her, but now he is accepting birthday wishes from others.
