C261 Fu Qianchen's Birthday
"Again." The word sounded interesting at this moment. Qiao Yumeng only realized what she shouldn't have said when she saw Fu Qianchen looking at her in surprise.
"Ahem, I didn't mean that."
Fu Qianchen looked at her and turned his head to take out a cigarette. He lit it and only answered after a long time, "I didn't find any fiancée. Do you mean Fong Jingya? I've met her before, but I'm not sure about it."
Qiao Yumeng raised her eyebrows and nodded as if she did not understand. That was a matter between Fu Qianchen and Fong Jingya, and she did not want to interfere.
"What do you want to eat?" Fu Qianchen took out the car keys.
"Anything." Qiao Yumeng only realized that she took it for granted after she answered. What was the relationship between Fu Qianchen and her now? He did not owe her anything. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to follow him to dinner like this?
"What's wrong?" Fu Qianchen looked at her strangely.
"Nothing." She had already said it. She could not go back on her word. At most, she could buy Fu Qianchen another meal.
Fu Qianchen actually knew Qiao Yumeng quite well. He knew that Qiao Yumeng would not take the initiative to ask where to eat, so he chose a good hotel and ordered a private room. After that, he ordered a table full of Qiao Yumeng's favorite dishes.
"You ordered so much. If you can't finish it, it will be a waste." Qiao Yumeng looked at Fu Qianchen with her chin held high. She could not tell when Fu Qianchen had changed. Anyway, she felt that he was very different from before.
"You can pack it." Fu Qianchen's answer almost scared Qiao Yumeng off her chin.
If it was anyone else who said this, Qiao Yumeng would understand. But the person in front of her was Fu Qianchen, the man who stood at the top of the business pyramid in Nancheng.
It was not because Qiao Yumeng was being arrogant. She dared to say that half of the economic lifeline of Nancheng was in Fu Qianchen's hands. To think that such a man would choose to pack up. This feeling was far more horrifying than seeing a man paint powder.
After the dishes were served, Fu Qianchen did not eat them himself. He kept stuffing food into Qiao Yumeng's mouth. Very quickly, the dishes in front of Qiao Yumeng piled up into a small hill.
Actually, Qiao Yumeng did not like others stuffing food into her mouth. After all, she felt that only couples or husband and wife could cook this kind of intimate behavior.
But when Fu Qianchen served her food, his actions and expression were too natural. She could not even say no.
"Aren't you going to eat it yourself?"
Fu Qianchen suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had done such a stupid thing. He could not help but laugh. "Of course I want to eat it."
Then, the atmosphere became awkward again. Qiao Yumeng buried her head and ate all the dishes Fu Qianchen had picked for her. She looked up and saw Fu Qianchen looking at her thoughtfully. She did not know how long he had been looking at her.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Yumeng asked.
Fu Qianchen sighed and shook his head. "Today is my birthday. Do you still remember?"
"I..." Qiao Yumeng's words were poor. She remembered the two years she married Fu Qianchen, but later she slowly forgot. If Fu Qianchen had not taken the initiative to mention it today, she would not have thought about it at all.
After a long while, Fu Qianchen said again, "Thank you for eating with me."
Seeing the satisfied smile on Fu Qianchen's face, Qiao Yumeng suddenly felt her nose ache.
"It's okay." Qiao Yumeng quickly lowered her head and drank a mouthful of soup, afraid that Fu Qianchen would see her abnormality. After a long while Qiao Yumeng said, "Then after dinner, I will go and buy you a present."
"Okay." Fu Qianchen's answer was very direct. He did not even politely decline.
Alright, then. Actually, she was just saying it casually. Now that she was really going to pay for it, she didn't know what kind of birthday present a big shot like Fu Qianchen would take a fancy to.
After dinner, Fu Qianchen and Qiao Yumeng left the hotel and found a shopping mall nearby.
"What do you like?" Qiao Yumeng asked.
Fu Qianchen shook his head. He did not really like anything. What he wanted was so easy to get that he had never really wanted anything.
Qiao Yumeng had a lot of gifts in her mind, but they were not suitable. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "How about I give you a tie?"2
"Sure." Fu Qianchen nodded.
If there was only one men's clothing store, it would be easy to pick a tie and give it to Fu Qianchen. However, this was a huge shopping mall. There were all kinds of male clothing brands. It was easy for people to find fault with it.
After shopping for about half an hour, Qiao Yumeng stopped in front of a famous men's clothing store.
After they entered, they were quickly welcomed by the salesgirl. The salesgirl's gaze moved back and forth between Qiao Yumeng and Fu Qianchen. She had to admit that the combination of handsome men and beautiful women was really pleasing to the eye.
"Hello lady, are you buying clothes for your husband?"
Qiao Yumeng opened her mouth to explain, but if she and Fu Qianchen were not husband and wife and she bought clothes for Fu Qianchen, wouldn't it be very strange?
Before she could think of an explanation, Fu Qianchen had already opened his mouth. "I want to try this set of clothes."
Qiao Yumeng looked at him in surprise. Didn't they say that they would only buy him a tie? He still wanted clothes? Then her wallet was really going to bleed.
Seeing Qiao Yumeng's depressed expression, Fu Qianchen smiled. Taking advantage of the shopper not noticing, he whispered into Qiao Yumeng's ear, "Don't worry, I will pay for the clothes myself. You just need to buy me a tie to match this set of clothes."
Qiao Yumeng originally wanted to say something but thought about it. It was not the first day she met Fu Qianchen so there was no need. "Alright then. You go and change first. I will choose a tie for you."
"Okay." Fu Qianchen took the clothes and went to the changing room with the shopping guide to change clothes.
Qiao Yumeng stood in front of the glove compartment for a few minutes and soon saw a dark purple tie. Although the tie was purple, due to the addition of the dark embroidery, it emitted a dark light. It was low key and did not seem to be old-fashioned.
Qiao Yumeng happily reached out to take it. Before her hand could touch the tie, it was taken by someone. She looked at the hand in surprise and found that the person who took the tie was Fong Jingya.
Fong Jingya's actual height was around two centimeters shorter than Qiao Yumeng but because she was wearing seven centimeters high heels, she was a lot taller than Qiao Yumeng. She looked down at Qiao Yumeng and was very pleased with herself.
Qiao Yumeng did not expect to meet Fong Jingya even if she randomly chose a shopping mall. Was this considered a narrow road between enemies?
"Do you like this tie?" Fong Jingya held the tie and asked Qiao Yumeng proudly.
Qiao Yumeng did not answer and looked away to look at the other one.
"I like this one too." This time, before Qiao Yumeng could even reach out to take it, Fong Jingya snatched the tie first.
