149 Happy Birthday
When night fell, Zhai Ningxin sat on the bed, seriously looking at the book in her hand. Her beautiful hair was casually draped over her body, the milky skin on her face making her look like a fairy in a flower. 2
Kuang Heng pushed open the door and entered, she saw Zhai Ningxin focused expression. Her thin lips curled up and her gaze softened as she looked at her. She worked overtime so late every day, yet she even took time to read.
She closed the door gently, but the slight noise was still Zhai Ningxin. She raised her eyes and saw Kuang Heng smiling face looking at her. Her face turned warm and embarrassed.
"You haven't slept yet." Zhai Ningxin opened his mouth, his eyes lowered and his eyelashes trembled.
"Yes." Kuang Heng nodded lightly and sat down on the sofa.
Looking at the Kuang Heng sitting down, Zhai Ningxin thought for a moment. Tomorrow was the professor's birthday. She was going to treat the professor to dinner. Should she tell Kuang Heng about this?
"Kuang Heng." Zhai Ningxin red lips moved slightly and called out to him.
It was better to tell him that he wouldn't have to think that she was going out to meet Lin Chen.
"Huh?" She looked at Zhai Ningxin doubtfully, her eyes as deep as the sea stared straight at her, waiting for her to finish her sentence.
"Tomorrow is the professor's birthday. I want to treat her to dinner. Rong Rong will go too." Zhai Ningxin spoke carefully as he stared at Kuang Heng unblinkingly. He looked at the expression on his face, afraid that he would misunderstand her.
When Kuang Heng heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Was she explaining to him? Did he care about his thoughts? Kuang Heng was happy because of this understanding.
Since she was willing to tell him, would he be too stingy if he cared? Kuang Heng thought to himself.
"Yes." His throat rolled up and down, and the faint word "Yes" came out of his mouth.
Zhai Ningxin listened and laughed. If he agreed, he wouldn't mind doubting her, right?
"Remember to come back early." Kuang Heng spoke indifferently. His words made Zhai Ningxin happy.
"Yes, I understand." Zhai Ningxin happily agreed.
Kuang Heng looked at the bright smile on Zhai Ningxin face and the corners of his lips curled up.
Was she so concerned about his thoughts? He stood up from the sofa and walked out of the door. Zhai Ningxin looked at the Kuang Heng that had left, closed the book and lay down under the bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Their friendly relationship wasn't as stiff as before. Everything seemed to be getting better as they slowly fell asleep with a good heart.
Italian Restaurant
"Cheers." Lin Chen Rong Rong and Zhai Ningxin sat in the dining room. The three of them held wine glasses in their hands as they celebrated Lin Chen birthday together.
"Professor, this is for you." Zhai Ningxin took a sip of the wine and handed the gift to Lin Chen.
"Thank you." Lin Chen spoke gently. His voice was like flowing water, making people feel happy.
As Rong Rong watched, he picked up the gift he had prepared for him and handed it to him.
"Lin Chen, don't mind my gift." Rong Rong handed the gift to Lin Chen and joked. The smile on his face was as bright as a flower.
Lin Chen laughed. How could he dislike it?
"Thank you." He opened his mouth to express his thanks. Lin Chen looked at the smile on Zhai Ningxin face and a trace of heartache flashed through his eyes.
She should be living well recently, right? They hadn't seen each other since she got married and she had n' t called him. If she hadn't remembered his birthday, they would n' t have seen each other, right?
"Professor, have a happy birthday. I wish you every success in your career." Zhai Ningxin raised his glass and saluted Lin Chen.
Lin Chen listened and lightly touched her with his glass of wine. His greatest wish was that as long as she was happy, he wouldn't think about anything else. As long as she was fine.
Rong Rong looked at the expression on Lin Chen face and then at the smile on Zhai Ningxin face. He sighed in his heart.
She knew Lin Chen feelings for Zhai Ningxin. When Zhai Ningxin and Kuang Heng got married, she was drunk at the bar and coincidentally met him. When she heard his words, she really didn't know what to say.
"Thank you. How have you been?" Lin Chen took a sip and asked softly.
He wanted to know if she had been well lately and had been bullied by Kuang Family.
Zhai Ningxin laughed when she heard his words. Her face was a little shy, and Kuang Heng figure instantly entered her mind.
Lin Chen looked at Zhai Ningxin shy look and felt a sharp pain in her heart. Did she like Kuang Heng? Looking at her happy smile, it didn't seem like she was pretending.
"I'm fine. What about you, Professor?" Zhai Ningxin asked Lin Chen.
These words made Lin Chen heart ache even more. She was fine. He should have been happy to hear her say she was fine, but his heart began to ache without warning.
"I'm fine too." He replied with a faint smile, his eyes bitter. As long as she was good, he would be fine.
"Everything's fine. Let's eat. It'll be cold if we do n' t eat anymore." Rong Rong opened his mouth to turn the awkward atmosphere into a little higher and asked them to eat.
Zhai Ningxin laughed and started eating.
Recently, she had really lived a very good life, and she had gotten along very well with Kuang Heng. She felt that something was changing between the two of them. Zhai Ningxin felt happy because of this recognition.
After dinner, Zhai Ningxin took a taxi and went home because she had promised Kuang Heng to go back early.
Rong Rong and Lin Chen stood where they were and looked at Zhai Ningxin who had already disappeared and sighed deeply.
"Professor Lin, let's go. I' ll buy you a drink. Let's not play with this husband." Rong Rong looked at the disappointed Lin Chen and spoke softly to him.
When Lin Chen heard the words "married woman ", the pain in her eyes was even more pronounced.
That's right, she was already married. She had told him before that she had no choice but to marry Kuang Heng, but now it seemed that she was tempted by Kuang Heng.
Thinking about this, he took a deep breath and nodded at Rong Rong.
It would be good to have a drink. He was really depressed right now. If he didn't drink some wine, he was afraid that he would lose sleep tonight.
When the two of them arrived at the bar, they started to drink. Rong Rong looked at the Lin Chen who kept drinking and didn't know what to say.
"Alright, stop drinking. Drinking so much can hurt your stomach." Rong Rong watched as Lin Chen picked up the wine cup and pressed his hand to stop him from drinking.
If he continued drinking like this, he would be drunk.
"Lin Chen, I believe you can tell. Zhai Ningxin she already has feelings for Kuang Heng, don't waste your time on her." As Zhai Ningxin good friend, Rong Rong only needed a glance to know if Zhai Ningxin liked Kuang Heng.
From the smile on her face tonight, she knew that Zhai Ningxin had feelings for Kuang Heng, but for Lin Chen, she didn't. From now on, she treated him as her brother.
