He picked up his phone that was placed to the side and walked to the window to make a call.
“Hello?” The person on the other end answered almost instantly and started bombarding him with questions as soon as the call connected, “How did it go, the trick I taught you about giving a necklace was useful, right? You didn’t reply to my message just now, were you and Rong Yan ‘doing that’? You finished so quickly?”
“So quickly, I highly doubt that!” Normally, Shengxiao looked so fierce!
Even if not fierce, a man who’d been holding it in for over twenty years should at least last a while, an hour at the very least!
He had only sent the message ten minutes ago, and Shengxiao was already calling back. Holding it in for over twenty years just for ten minutes? Cui Jiangjing muttered to himself, “Why don’t you find some time, and I’ll arrange for a specialist to check you out?”
Li Shengxiao’s temples tensed up, throbbed twice, and his voice was deep and mellow, “Shut your mouth!”
“Why call me to tell me to shut up, are we communicating through telepathy now?”
“Let me make this clear, I’m straight, I can’t have a psychic connection with a guy, you know.” He really was fearless.
Li Shengxiao, not wanting to waste time with him, got straight to the point, “Rong Yan doesn’t like that necklace, what should I send instead?”
There was silence on the other end of the line for three seconds before an incredulous voice burst out, “Are you kidding me? Bro, that necklace cost eighty million! You’ve practically plucked the stars from the sky to give to her, what woman could resist such temptation!”
Eighty million isn’t just eight hundred bucks, who wouldn’t be happy receiving a gift that carried both thoughtfulness and value?
The tall and handsome man didn’t even raise an eyebrow as he replied with indifference, “She doesn’t know how much the necklace cost.”
“So you bought such an expensive gift and just gave it to her without saying anything?”
“Um.”
Cui Jiangjing was beaten by his logic, held his forehead in thought, and asked, “How did you know Rong Yan didn’t like the necklace, did she tell you?”
It shouldn’t be the case; he had seen that necklace too; its design was unique, understated yet luxurious, even he as a man liked it when he saw it, it made no sense for a woman not to like it.
Li Shengxiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out into the distant lights, “No.”
“Without her saying, how did you know she didn’t like it?” Cui Jiangjing was somewhat dumbfounded, then a thought flashed through his mind, “Don’t tell me you assumed she didn’t like it because Rong Yan didn’t say she did?”
Busted!
His silence was as good as a confirmation to Cui Jiangjing, who spoke with a headache, “Bro, seriously, I give up on you. You give someone a birthday gift and didn’t even mention the gift’s value. How do you expect them to express their liking? By hugging the necklace you gave, eyes sparkling, and saying ‘Wow wow wow, I really like it’?”
“Of course not! Under normal circumstances, you give it, and the other person just accepts it. Plus, I bet Rong Yan must have said something like she liked it. Even if she didn’t specifically mention liking the gift you gave, she must have at least said she liked it.”
Images of the little woman’s barely concealed joy as she said she ‘really really really really really liked it’ flashed through Li Shengxiao’s mind, his throat suddenly felt dry, and his grip on the phone tightened a bit.
“If Rong Yan said she liked it, then she liked the gift you sent!” Cui Jiangjing added one more thing, “Even if she didn’t say she liked it, as long as she seemed happy, that means she liked it.”
Seemed happy? Does smiling all night count?
His previously taut heartstrings began to relax bit by bit because of Cui Jiangjing’s words. The person on the other end of the call was still rattling on about something, but Li Shengxiao didn’t take in a single word and ended the call abruptly.
