My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 287: Jing Yichen’s Birthday Gift

Shangguan Ning’s heart ached. How come Zhao Anan, an outgoing and sunny girl, had got such a disease? God was really unfair. It didn’t matter if she couldn’t drink the wine. Nothing else would also matter, as long as she could be fine and live healthily.

“Alright then! I don’t think of it as a precious thing anymore. This thing makes people get severe diarrhea. Scumbag Mu, why are you still fine?”

“Zhao Anan, can’t you just say something good about me? I am the Head of a Hospital and I am physically strong. How can I suffer from diarrhea like these two? You badgered me last night and didn’t want to let go of me. You kissed and bit me all the time, and now you make yourself sound so ruthless? Won’t you feel lonely if I visit the toilet too often today? Also, how would I be able to keep up with you in bed tonight?”

Shangguan Ning wanted to cover her face with her hands. How did Mu Qing become so shameless? Couldn’t they stop showing off their intimate behaviors? She would have been deeply tormented because of their words and behaviors, had she not been married to a man who loved her deeply.

But his words drove away the awkwardness that was present a minute ago.

Shangguan Ning saw Mu Qing from the corner of her eyes. It seemed that he was a sensitive and smart guy.

She put the wine bottle back in the car. In the meantime, Zhao Anan had already started to argue with Mu Qing.

“You scumbag! I didn’t badger you. It is you who is badgering me. Don’t try to ruin my reputation. I am not the woman you think me to be. I am a girl who lives a clean life. I won’t feel lonely and clap loudly if you were to get diarrhea!”

“You have no reputation left to maintain because everyone at the hospital knows that you are my woman and don’t even think about denying it. If you dare to escape again, I will go and get your household registration book from Aunt Zhao and take you to get us registered after drugging you.”

“You are such a shameless man who only knows dirty tricks. That is not what a decent man would do.”

“I have never considered myself as a decent man, though, as a matter of fact, I am. But I need not be decent when dealing with you. I will never manage to get a wife if I act decently. For you, I will always be a shameless.”

...

Jing Yichen’s head hurt because of their argument. He interrupted them in a cold tone. “Shut up! One more word and I will toss you both into the sea.”

The two noisy people stopped all of a sudden and stood there obediently.

The world got quiet again and Jing Yichen said calmly, “It is grandmother’s 78th birthday, go and visit her today with Mu Qing.”

Zhao Anan hopped as if her tail had been stomped upon. “What? Grandmother’s birthday? What date is it today?”

She asked as she started to rummage through her bag for her phone. She checked the calendar and then screamed. “Oh my god! It is the 28th today! Grandmother will definitely blame me for forgetting her birthday. Let’s go and visit her, now.”

Mu Qing nodded happily. “Okay, okay, let’s go and visit her. I drive fast and we will be there in no time. Don’t worry.”

Zhao Anan smiled and said, “Hang on, Director, it is my grandmother’s birthday, not yours! You are a busy director who is in charge of the development of a great hospital. So, you better get out of here and head back to your hospital for your female patients. I will go with my cousin, so bye-bye!”

Mu Qing didn’t back off. He grabbed hold of Zhao Anan and pulled her into the car.

He smiled brighter than Zhao Anan and said, “Anan, don’t be so polite, your grandmother is mine too. Shouldn’t I go and visit her on her 78th birthday and offer my congratulations as well? I think that grandmother is definitely going to like me, because I am such a successful and handsome young man. Also, I have got some good things for her as a birthday present and you have no right to turn them down on behalf of your grandmother.”

Having said the words, he nodded to Jing Yichen and told him that he would be back in half an hour and drove off.

Seeing them gone, Jing Yichen drove into the compound. “Keep our wine hidden and no telling anybody about it, in case someone takes it away or drinks it up.”

Shangguan Ning shook her head and laughed. He was referring to Mu Qing, because he was the only one who knew about the value of this liquor.

“It is grandmother’s birthday today? You didn’t mention that before. I have not prepared any presents.” Shangguan Ning complained.

Jing Yichen had never given much thought to birthdays or festivals, probably because he had never celebrated anything for the past thirty years.

As for Jing Yichen’s birthday...

Shangguan Ning asked in an uncertain voice, “Is your birthday on January 1st? That is what your ID card says. I didn’t pay much attention earlier and didn’t end up giving you any birthday present.”

It was such a unique date!

But it seemed that January 1st of this year was in the month before Chinese New Year, when they had just got married. At that time, Shangguan Ning had no idea when his birthday was, so she had prepared nothing.

But Jing Yichen shook his head unexpectedly. A smile hovered over his face, making him look handsome.

“No, my birthday is not on January 1st, it is just a date on the ID cover. But you are wrong to assume that you have given me no birthday present. You have and it is the most extraordinary and beloved one.”

Shangguan Ning’s heart skipped a beat hearing what he said. She asked in confusion, “What have I given to you?”

Jing Yichen turned his head and looked at her intensely. “Yourself!”

Sure enough!

So he was celebrating his birthday on the day when they got married!

How wonderful!

So their wedding anniversary would be on the same day as his birthday and it would be a very happy and lovely day every year.

Shangguan Ning felt her heart skipping a beat hearing his confession. He looked like a distant and cold man, but always spoke warm words that could strike the chords in the deepest part of her heart.

She held his hands and said in a gentle tone, “I didn’t know that it was your birthday at that time. If I had, I would have treated you better.”

It wasn’t a pleasant day when they had gotten their certificate. But Shangguan Ning considered it beautiful and romantic now when she thought back to that day. She still remembered his furious look and the warm arms he offered. She also remembered his gentle kiss, their first kiss.

Jing Yichen felt very proud when he thought of what he had done at that time. He felt that it was right of him to be bossy then, otherwise he didn’t know when would he have gotten this woman home as his wife!

Men should act fast when the right time comes. Hesitation often makes things worse.
