Chapter 59

Huo Shaoting's face darkened. "Grandpa, I'm not a kid anymore. Why should I still celebrate my birthday? It's no fun. Let's just skip it." He had his own business to deal with. Besides, he didn't want to introduce Sheng Xi'an to others.

"You can only celebrate it once a year. How can you skip it?" Old Master Huo was a little displeased. "It's decided. You don't have to do anything. Just wait." After saying this, he looked at the silent Sheng Xi'an and his tone softened a little. "Xi'an, do you think this is okay?"

Sheng Xi'an was stunned for a moment. Her gaze quickly swept over Huo Shaoting and Ye Shu. "Grandpa, just listen to third brother."

"I've already made up my mind. Don't worry about him. You youngsters seem to very much like the party that Yunfei mentioned. Now that you've gotten married to Shaoting, you will make arrangements for his birthday this year, okay?" Old Master Huo then said to Huo Shaoting, "Xi'an will be attending with you, so you must prepare something for her. Even if you haven't decided to announce the marriage yet, this is the first time that Xi'an will make an appearance in the Huo Family. You have to pick out some good accessories for her. Do you understand?"

After walking out of the old estate, Huo Shaoting stood by the car. When he saw her come out, he looked at her coldly and said, "Sheng Xi'an."

Sheng Xi'an had to walk over. "Mmm." She glanced at the lowered window behind him. Although she knew that she shouldn't talk too much, she still couldn't help saying, "Are you... waiting for me?"

Huo Shaoting raised his brows, with a hint of derision in his eyes, but he didn't speak as harshly as he had before.

Sheng Xi'an pursed her lips and said, "Well, I haven't seen you in the past two days."

"What's wrong? Do you miss me adding extra work for you?"

Sure enough, he couldn't say any pleasant words.

"Then I'll go back first." She had to go back to work. She wanted to give him his birthday present as scheduled.

"Wait a minute."

Sheng Xi'an stopped. She looked like she normally did, but her heart was full of joy. She looked at his car again, quietly awaiting his next words.

He coughed lightly and said, "Well... you did a good job just now."

It took a long moment for Sheng Xi'an to realize that he was referring to her work in answering Grandpa's question. She smiled lightly and said, "If I told the truth just now, the most ashamed one would be actually me."

Huo Shaoting's expression froze, and he felt a little awkward, but that kind of emotion came and went quickly. However, at this moment, he was in no mood to tell her that he didn't need her to plan his birthday party.

He waved his hand impatiently. "It's good that you understand. You can go now."

After that, he did not wait for her at all and drove away.

Sheng Xi'an stood there for a while and then smiled bitterly. "Giving me a ride wouldn't kill him, would it?"

"Do you see it now?" Ye Shu came out at some point. She walked over to Sheng Xi'an's side and said coldly, "Shaoting doesn't have you in his heart. If it were Muyu, he wouldn't leave her standing here like a fool."

Sheng Xi'an's heart sank. She turned to look at Ye Shu, who had her arms crossed, and said, "Auntie, putting aside the fact that you treated me very well in the past, Third Brother and I are now married. Isn't it so bad for you to say these things?" Previously, Xia Tingfeng was by her side at Star Moon Bay, and she could not say much because Ye Shu was a senior. However, if she said all these things again and again, no one would be able to bear it.

"You know that I treated you well in the past?" Ye Shu looked at her with hatred. "Just thinking about it now makes me very regretful. You're simply an ungrateful person. My Shaoting was nearly killed by you! He was lucky to survive from you, but now he's ruined by you. I really don't know how strong your mentality is, yet you don't even have the slightest bit of remorse."

"Almost killed by me? Auntie, I don't understand. What do you mean?"
