Chapter 1236: The Mysterious Package
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Linlang was a little disappointed when she heard Jiang Qiran’s words, but when she saw the mischievous look on Jiang Qiran’s face, she felt that he was teasing her.
She looked at Jiang Qiran suspiciously.
“You specifically went to look up my information, so how could you not have prepared a gift? I don’t believe–”
That’s right, Ye Linlang just felt that it was impossible for Jiang Qiran to not have prepared a gift when he mentioned the birthday. She didn’t care about the value of the gift, as long as the intention was there!
Even if Jiang Qiran gave her a few sets of Olympiad math questions, it would still be alright!
As this thought flashed through her mind, Ye Linlang herself was shocked.
Wait, when did she become so masochistic?
…
When Jiang Qiran saw Ye Linlang’s puffed up face, he couldn’t help but reach out to pinch her.
“If I said no, then it means no. But on that day, I will bring you to a place to eat.”
“What place?”
Seeing Jiang Qiran being so mysterious, Ye Linlang’s curiosity was immediately piqued.
“Well, we’ll talk about it on your birthday. I can’t tell you now, but there will be a heavyweight chef overseeing it!”
Jiang Qiran’s long and narrow phoenix eyes were deep and dark with a hint of gentleness.
He would never tell Ye Linlang that if nothing went wrong, the person who would be the head chef would be his father, Jiang Xuecheng.
Ever since he was young, although Jiang Qiran had always been at odds with Jiang Xuecheng, he still loved the dishes cooked by Jiang Xuecheng very much.
This time, when Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan returned to the country, they also bought tickets to A City directly. However, they were staying in a villa area in the center of the city for the first day.
The next day was Ye Linlang’s birthday. Jiang Qiran was prepared to bring Ye Linlang to meet his parents.
…
When Ye Linlang heard that there was a heavyweight chef in charge, she immediately thought that Jiang Qiran had hired some kind of chef from a five-star hotel!
“A privately hired chef? I feel that it must be great!”
Other than the Song family’s Granny, Ye Linlang had never celebrated her birthday with anyone else. In previous years, her birthday seemed to be just a formality, but she felt that this time would be special.
Jiang Qiran couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. What was Ye Linlang thinking?
However, Jiang Qiran still didn’t forget to trick Ye Linlang at the last minute.
“Well, he can be considered a privately hired chef. Other than our Jiang family, almost no one can eat his dishes.”
Ye Linlang absolutely wouldn’t have thought that the identity of that person was someone who controlled almost the entire business network of Jiuzhou.
If Ye Linlang knew about it, she would definitely be so scared that she would faint. How could she still excitedly ask if the food was especially delicious?
“Then I’ll wait and see!”
…
Time flew by, and soon it was next week.
It was the first time that Ye Linlang looked forward to the weekend so much, and her heart was extremely nervous.
Sunday was Ye Linlang’s birthday. On Saturday, Jiang Qiran seemed to have something to do and canceled that day’s make up class, so Ye Linlang stayed in school alone.
After all, tomorrow was her birthday. Ye Linlang sometimes couldn’t help but wonder if the Ye family would remember the day she was born?
She was about to turn seventeen. The Ye family had never celebrated her birthday for all these years.
Ye Linlang had been looking forward to it for a long time. Not to mention Madam Ye and Ye Siyao, even Ye Haifeng didn’t give her a call.
Ye Linlang thought to herself that she probably didn’t have to wait.
After all, the Ye family still treated her as an outsider.
…
On Saturday night, Ye Linlang was writing at full speed during her self-study session. She was racking her brain trying to figure out how to solve a physics competition question.
She listed all the data that could be substituted in. Just as her train of thought was about to dry up, she suddenly heard a shout from outside.
“Is student Ye Linlang here? There’s a package for you!”
Ye Linlang was stunned when she heard that. Who would send something to her at this time?!
She almost never bought things online.
Ye Linlang pursed her lips and could only walk out quickly.
The delivery boy smiled at Ye Linlang in a charmingly naive manner and handed a pen to Ye Linlang.
“You are Ye Linlang, right? Our company requires recipients to open it and sign for it. Please sign it.”
Ye Linlang nodded.
“I am Ye Linlang, but I didn’t buy anything.”
The delivery guy smiled and handed Ye Linlang a very beautiful package with a light purple ribbon on it.
“Of course you didn’t buy it. Someone bought it for you. Please sign it.”
Ye Linlang nodded in a daze. She looked at the beautiful brocade box and saw three elegant and agile ancient characters written on it.
Seeing that the characters seemed to be small characters, Ye Linlang couldn’t guess what it meant at all, let alone what was inside. She only felt that it looked very good on the outside and was very simple and dignified.
Just that gift box alone would probably cost more than a hundred yuan.
Who would buy such an expensive thing for her?
The first person that popped up in Ye Linlang’s mind was Jiang Qiran. But when she thought of Jiang Qiran saying that he would not give her a gift, Ye Linlang immediately rejected this answer.
“Okay, then I’ll sign it.”
Ye Linlang was about to sign on the receipt when the courier suddenly asked.
“Student Ye, aren’t you going to open it first?”
Ye Linlang was startled when she heard that. She turned her head to look and realized that the students of grade one Class A who were studying at night were all looking in her direction.
Obviously, they were also curious about what gift was inside that purple ribbon box.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Linlang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Moreover, she had learned her lesson recently. Don’t look at how beautiful this gift box was. What if someone wanted to trick her and put some dead snake or something in it? What should she do then?
It would be bad if she made a fool of herself in public.
Ye Linlang thought of this and immediately shook her head at the delivery guy.
“It’s okay, I don’t have to open it now. Good work.”
As Ye Linlang said this, she signed her name neatly.
Because Jiang Qiran had been urging her to practice her calligraphy during this period of time, although Ye Linlang’s handwriting was still not beautiful enough, it was basically neat and tidy. It would not be reduced to dog-like handwriting.
“Okay, then I wish you a good day!”
…
Ye Linlang carried the beautiful ribbon box and walked inside. Unexpectedly, it really carried some weight. No one knew what was stuffed inside.
The girls around usually did not chat with Ye Linlang, but the girls loved to look beautiful. Today, seeing such an exquisite and large gift box, they could not help but ask Ye Linlang.
“Ye Linlang, what is this thing?”
Ye Linlang shook her head at the girls.
“I don’t know either.”
The other party began to encourage her.
“Then open it and see!”
“It’s better not to open it. I’m afraid it’ll be too troublesome to put it back later.”
Ye Linlang forced a smile and immediately shook her head.
Who would have thought that when a girl in class heard her say that, she suddenly sneered.
“Who would send things in such a big way! In my opinion, it might be empty inside!”
