Chapter 1522: Chapter 1527: Buying a Woman at a Sky-high Price 3
“Be careful on the road.” Lin Yin smiled as she watched her daughter’s cheerful demeanor.
Gu Qingxin and Bai Qianqian left, with Bai Qianqian saying, “I told you we wouldn’t get hotpot today. Come on, where does Beiming Han plan to take you for a romantic surprise today?”
“No, he doesn’t know it’s my birthday today,” Gu Qingxin responded indifferently.
“Really? He doesn’t know? Is he pretending?” Bai Qianqian was incredulous.
“He’s not capable of pretending,” Gu Qingxin sulked, her mouth puckering up.
“I’m going to call Bai Jingqing to tell Beiming Han.”
“No need, it’s fine. I’ve prepared a gift for him. That’s also a way to celebrate, isn’t it?”
On her birthday, she would give him another surprise, wouldn’t that be even better?
“….”
Bai Qianqian was puzzled, how could Beiming Han not know about Gu Qingxin’s birthday?
Looking back, during Beiming Han’s own birthday, everyone knew except for Beiming Han himself, as they intended to surprise him.
But this time on Gu Qingxin’s birthday, she hadn’t heard any instructions for secrecy.
Bai Qianqian felt frustrated.
She could tell that Gu Qingxin really wanted to spend this birthday with Beiming Han.
Once they got into the car, Gu Qingxin took Bai Qianqian home first, continuing to remind her not to call Bai Jingqing.
Only after Bai Qianqian agreed did Gu Qingxin relax.
She opened the present her mother gave her, unsurprisingly it was a dress.
Ever since Gu Qingxin could remember, her mother gave her a dress for her birthday every year.
This year’s dress was a goose-yellow, knee-length dress that looked youthful. It was made of a lightweight material, with straps for sleeves that made it look playful yet adorable.
Gu Qingxin turned the dress over and found an embroidered English message ‘To my precious daughter’ on a corner.
Gu Qingxin once asked Lin Yin about it, and she said that she had commissioned someone to embroider it.
When Gu Qingxin was about to put the dress away, she found the small box from Tang Rongling inside it.
She guessed her mother must have put it there. Gu Qingxin looked at it a couple of times but did not do anything else before heading back to North Garden.
Back home, Gu Qingxin played with Xiao Yi for a while before she couldn’t help but send a message to Beiming Han, asking him if he could come back early that night.
After waiting for a very long time, Beiming Han didn’t reply, and Gu Qingxin felt a little lost.
When Xiao Yi saw her looking glum, he reached out to hug her and handed her a small puppy.
Gu Qingxin held the fluffy little fellow, her eyes occasionally drifting towards the phone on the sofa.
About half an hour later, Aunt Zhou walked in and said, “Miss, this dress was just delivered by the bodyguard. He said the young master would come to pick you up in a helicopter later.”
“….”
Gu Qingxin stood up and took the dress from Zhou Hao. It was a dark blue ball gown that tightened below the bust and cascaded downward to the floor.
The design was obviously meant to conceal her baby bump, and the dark color would make her pregnancy less noticeable.
A smile tugged at the corners of Gu Qingxin’s mouth. She knew he wouldn’t forget her birthday.
Gu Qingxin went back to her room to change. Then she had someone help her curl her long hair and apply a delicate, light layer of makeup.
Although Gu Qingxin was already incredibly beautiful without makeup, wearing makeup heightened her delicacy and added a hint of seduction to her innocence, exuding a deadly allure…
