Master Xi Wants To Make Official Announcements Every Day

Chapter 2049 Proposal (4)

Nie Heng was scolded by Ruan Qi, and finally stopped and continued to eat peaches quietly.

After finishing the seventh peach, he burped painfully and said, "I really can't eat any more. I'll take a box to the store tomorrow and give everyone a share. Senior sister, how are you planning for my brother-in-law's birthday surprise?" How about that? There are only three days left, so don’t let it slip by then.”

Ruan Qi took a bite of peach meat, glanced at him, and said confidently: "Don't worry. Everything is ready, and there will be no mistakes. I will definitely give Jiujiu the most unforgettable 30th birthday!"

 …

　　　Wow—the calendar has turned another page.

 There are less than four hours left before my birthday.

Xi Jiu looked at the 'April 7th' on the perpetual calendar, feeling disappointed for the first time on such a happy day.

Ruan Qi may really not remember his birthday.

She was very busy at work these days. Shen Wenqian suddenly answered several announcements for her for some reason. Ruan Qi left early in the morning and came back late every day. When she came back at night, she fell asleep so tired that she didn't even have time to say a few words to Xi Jiu. .

Xi Jiu felt sorry for Ruan Qi, so she never mentioned that her birthday was coming soon.

 To this day, with less than four hours left before his birthday, Xi Jiu still hasn't found a chance to say anything.

At this time, it was getting late, and the hour hand of the clock hanging on the wall slowly passed eight o'clock.

  It is rare for Ruan Qi to come back early today. She was taking a shower at this time, and the water in the bathroom made a splashing sound.

Xi Jiu was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, listening to the sound of water in her ears, her dark eyes were heavy, and there was a sense of loss that could not be hidden in her eyes.

 There are only three hours and eleven minutes left before my birthday.

 Ruan Qi still didn’t think about it.

 Xi Jiu doesn’t have to celebrate her birthday. Before being with Ruan Qi, he never cared about this day. Bai Yuchen, Gu Feiyang and the others would offer to help him hold a birthday party every year, but Xi Jiu found it troublesome and refused them all.

 For Xi Jiu in the past, his birthday was no different from every other day. He didn't even bother to eat a bowl of longevity noodles.

 However, Xi Jiu was later spoiled by Ruan Qi.

 After getting together with Ruan Qi, every birthday of Xi Jiu was full of surprises. Ruan Qi attaches great importance to everyone's birthday in the family, especially Xi Jiu's, and starts preparations one month in advance.

Needless to say, flowers, cakes, delicious food... needless to say, these are all standard accessories for a birthday. In addition to these, Ruan Qi will also prepare many small gifts to surprise Xi Jiu.

For example, last year, Ruan Qi specially learned to knit sweaters from Grandma Ruan, and then she spent a month secretly knitting a couple's outfit for Xi Jiu and herself as a birthday gift.

 Xi Jiu’s hands were shaking when she received this couple’s sweater.

On the second day of his birthday, he put on this thick red sweater regardless of the bright spring weather in April, and went to Xi's for a walk in the spring breeze.

 Then, at noon of the same day, #西玖狠向向着# became a trending search topic.

 …

 In addition to this sweater, Ruan Qi also gave Xi Jiu many other birthday gifts.

A portrait she drew for him, a love song named "He", a 30,000-word handwritten love letter... Every birthday gift Ruan Qi prepared was full of sincerity and love. , never disappoints.

 And Xi Jiu fell deeper and deeper into this gentle love, and at the same time, she was used to becoming more and more greedy.

until now-

 He has been so used to it that he cannot accept the fact that Ruan Qi ignored his birthday.

As a result, the man who was once as cold as an iceberg and without any emotional fluctuations began to feel lost, sad, and worried about gains and losses.

He sat on the sofa, his eyes drooping slightly, feeling lost in his heart while looking for various reasons for Ruan Qi to forget his birthday.

 Perhaps the baby has been too busy recently, so he forgot.

We have been together for more than five years, so what if we forget a birthday occasionally.

 The baby just didn't think about it once, so just pretend that tomorrow is not your birthday.

 Your baby is a big star, but you have to bother her with so much work. How could such a big man be so ignorant?

Xi Jiu activated her Love Brain skill and frantically found reasons for Ruan Qi in her heart, while also constantly trying to comfort herself.

However, the tight corners of his mouth and slightly slumped shoulders revealed all his emotions.

 —He is unhappy.

 Even a little sad.

 At this moment, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

After taking a shower, Ruan Qi opened the door and walked out with her long wet hair.

Xi Jiu, who was immersed in sadness a second ago, stood up from the sofa in an instant. The steps he walked towards Ruan Qi were full of eagerness and desire, with no trace of sadness at all.

"Why did you come out without blow-drying your hair?" Looking at Ruan Qi's wet long hair, Xi Jiujun frowned.

 He quickly walked into the bathroom and came out with a towel.

“Although it’s getting warmer now, the wind is still a bit strong. My hair is so wet, what if I get caught in the wind?”

 Xi Jiu was criticizing Ruan Qi while wiping her hair with a towel.

After Ruan Qi's hair stopped dripping, he pulled her to the dressing table and pressed her on the chair.

“Baby, let me play with the phone for a while, and I’ll help you dry your hair.”

Before Ruan Qi could speak, a mobile phone was stuffed into his hand.

 Shortly afterwards, the hair dryer started to make a buzzing sound.

 …

 Xi Jiu’s hair-drying technique is very good. In less than fifteen minutes, Ruan Qi's waist-length hair was blown smooth and smooth.

With her hair dry, Xi Jiu put down the hair dryer. He picked up the comb on the dressing table, lowered his eyes and began to comb Ruan Qi's hair seriously.

Ruan Qi sat on the chair and looked at Xi Jiu through the mirror in front of her.

"Jiujiu," she blinked and suddenly said, "Tomorrow you..." Xi Jiu, who was combing her hair, immediately raised her head when she heard the word "tomorrow".

　　"I have time tomorrow." He answered without asking questions and was extremely proactive. "I have time all day tomorrow. Baby, what are you going to do?"

Facing Xi Jiu's expectant gaze in the mirror, Ruan Qi's conscience ached, and she gritted her teeth and said cruelly: "Don't do anything. I just want to tell you that I have to get up early tomorrow to catch up on the announcement. You can stay at home and take care of yourself." , remember to eat on time.”

 Xi Jiu: “…”

 The expectation in his eyes instantly shattered into pieces.

Xi Jiu lowered his dim eyes and said lowly "Oh".

“I know, I will eat on time. Don’t be too tired, baby, and go home early.”

 At this time, Boss Xi felt so aggrieved that he seemed to be a 200-pound dog.

 Ruan Qi felt distressed and wanted to laugh at the same time. She rubbed her aching conscience, pretended not to notice the sadness all over Xi Jiu, and nodded coldly.

 …

 The next day, it’s half past six in the morning.

When Xi Jiu opened her eyes from the bed, the bed on Ruan Qi's side had been cold for a long time.

 Ruan Qi rarely got up so early. Xi Jiu was a little unwilling to give up, so she sat on the bed and called "baby" several times.

However, no one responded.

 Ruan Qi is really gone.

This fact completely shattered the last hope in Xi Jiu's heart. He sat on the bed in silence for a few seconds, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed expressionlessly.

 Wash your face, brush your teeth, take a shower...the mechanical process is the same as usual. Xi Jiu tried hard to smooth over the disappointment in her heart, and then regarded today as an ordinary day, preparing to take off her vacation and go to work in the company.

 He went to the cloakroom and randomly picked up a black shirt. Just as he was about to put it on, his cell phone in the bedroom suddenly rang.

 Who could be calling at such an early hour?

 Could it be that the baby suddenly remembered that today is his birthday when he was walking halfway?

Xi Jiu’s heart was like stagnant water, and his heart was filled with waves. He threw away his shirt, rushed out of the closet, and grabbed the phone at the end of the bed.

Look down and look at the caller ID—

【mom】

 It turned out to be Duan Wei.

Xi Jiu’s turbulent heart fell to the ground with a ‘pop’. He answered the phone with an expressionless face, and then called "Mom" without emotion.

Duan Wei's equally cold voice came from the other end of the phone: "Today is your birthday, happy birthday."

However, Xi Jiu was not happy.

 He accepted Duan Wei's blessing in a very formal manner, and then thanked him in a very formal manner.

 “Thank you, Mom. I’ll go see you this afternoon.”

Today is not only Xi Jiu’s birthday, but also the day Duan Wei suffered for giving birth to him.

Every year on this day, Ruan Qi would accompany Xi Jiu back to his old house and hand-deliver the gifts prepared for Duan Wei.

 But this year, Ruan Qi also forgot about it.

Without Ruan Qi as a bond, the two icebergs Duan Wei and Xi Jiu would not be able to communicate at all. The mother and son had a very stiff conversation on the phone. The cold tone sounded less like birthday wishes and more like an enemy seeking revenge.

 Finally, Duan Wei couldn't stand such an awkward conversation and ended the call on her own initiative.

 “I still have something to do here, take care of yourself and don’t come here in the afternoon…”

Before he finished speaking, Duan Wei suddenly heard a buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, some pots and pans seemed to fall to the ground, accompanied by a woman's deliberately suppressed exclamation.

Xi Jiu vaguely felt that this exclamation sounded a bit like Ruan Qi.

However, before he had time to think about it, Duan Wei interrupted his train of thought: "I'm making breakfast in the kitchen and I'm a little busy, so I won't talk anymore. You have a good meal and hang up."

After Duan Wei finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone.

As soon as Xi Jiu heard that she was cooking in the kitchen, she immediately gave up the idea that the exclamation was from Ruan Qi.

 After all, the whole world knows that Ruan Qi is a kitchen killer.

 …

 After ending the call with Duan Wei, Xi Jiu returned to the cloakroom.

 He picked up the black shirt that was thrown on the ground, patted the dust on it, and then put it on.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the cell phone in the bedroom rang again.

 Xi Jiu has given up the expectation that Ruan Qi will suddenly think of his birthday. With a cold face and unbuttoned shirt, he walked back to the bedroom with a feeling of low pressure and picked up the phone.

 Caller ID—[Bai Yuchen]

 It is indeed not Ruan Qi.

Xi Jiu's emotions were uncontrollable and she lost her temper again.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and coldly answered the phone.

"explain."

　　A word that is cold and hard, so cold that it almost falls apart.

Bai Yuchen on the other end of the phone was so cold that he almost forgot the purpose of his call.

 Qin Qingdi, who was sitting next to him, stabbed him in time.

Bai Yuchen immediately came back to his senses and said to Xi Jiu in a very anxious tone: "Brother Jiu, come here quickly, Xiao Di and I are in trouble!"

 Here it comes~
