Chapter 282 - 282: A Birthday Present



The next day was a Saturday. Ye Xiaomeng woke up organically. She put on a dressing gown and looked out at the sun. Her mood inexplicably improved.

After washing up, she got her phone and called Shu Pan.

“Girl, are you free? Let’s meet up at noon and then shop around.”

Ye Xiaomeng thought carefully and realized that she had become unlike herself lately. She used to love eating, drinking, and shopping like crazy. But she behaved like a good little wife now. She mocked herself with a smile.

“Sure. Then I’ll see you at the usual place later.” Shu Pan agreed immediately as she was bored; Joy was going to childcare today.

After so much hard work and suffering in the recent years, she was finally back on her feet and on the path to success. It was time for her to relax occasionally.

The two of them were indeed besties. They arrived at the entrance of the mall at almost the same time, both dressed in white. They looked good in their own ways and grabbed the attention of many passersby.

“I just woke up and I’m famished. Let’s find something to eat first.” Ye Xiaomeng held Shu Pan’s arm and walked towards the restaurant street.

“Who asked you to be such a lazy pig?

“I’ve been so busy lately. I could finally sleep in today. More importantly, the market is no good now and business development is difficult. Sigh. What to do when I’m earning peanuts but juggling a circus of responsibilities and walking a tightrope of risks?” Ye Xiaomeng pulled a long face.

“Don’t you have He Ming now? Someone to rely on?” Shu Pan reminded her.

“It’s better to rely on myself. Who knows what will happen in the future? I’m just going to let nature take its course.” Ye Xiaomeng was walking on eggshells in relationships, afraid of being hurt again.

“Silly, there’ll always something different. How would you know if you don’t try?” Shu Pan encouraged her.

“Then why don’t you take your own advice? The last time I saw Gu Shaoting, he really changed a lot, almost like a different person.”

Although Ye Xiaomeng had once told Shu Pan not to forgive him easily, she respected Shu Pan’s choice. After all, Shupan was still young and so was Joy. She only wished them happiness for the rest of their lives.

The two of them chose a noodle shop. The noodles there were handmade and very chewy. The restaurant was usually crowded but they got a table today. Ye Xiaomeng quickly pulled Shu Pan to sit down.

While waiting for their food, Shu Pan asked, “Why do you suddenly want to go shopping?”

“Don’t remind me. Have you ever met someone who would keep reminding people of their birthday? He even asked me what gift I would get him!” Ye Xiaomeng said in exasperation.

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at He Ming’s behavior.

A few days ago, he said that he wanted to celebrate his birthday with her and asked her to set aside time, and she agreed.

After that, he was probably worried that she would forget, so he reminded her repeatedly and even asked her what gift she would get him. He even suggested that she wrapped herself up as a birthday gift to him, which made her blush like a tomato.

She had met thick-skinned people before, but she had never met anyone as thick-skinned as him.

“He Ming? Birthday?” Only then did Shu Pan realize what was going on.

“Yeah. Should I get him a shirt? Or a wallet? A leather belt?” Ye Xiaomeng listed her options.

She then muttered, “His wallet is still quite new. It will probably be a while before he needs a new one. Will a belt be misunderstood as me wanting to tie

him up?”

“Okay. I’ve decided to buy him a shirt. It can be worn on its own or with a suit. It’s more useful.” Ye Xiaomeng happily made her decision.

After their noodles arrived, they both dug in heartily, especially Ye Xiaomeng, who looked like she hadn’t eaten for days.

After lunch, the two of them walked into the largest shopping mall in Bin City..
