Chapter 146 - 144: Gao Chuan, Hold Me in Your Arms
Chapter 144 Gao Chuan, Hold Me
Saturday.
At dusk, Gao Chuan had informed Jiang An in advance and drove alone to a jewelry store in the nearby mall to casually pick out a watch as Song Xin’s birthday gift. By the time he arrived at the location Song Li mentioned, it was about eight o’clock at night.
Lijing Xuan, the usual place.
Following the instructions of the waiter, the man walked to the private room on the second floor which Song Xin had booked and found that many people had already arrived, all familiar faces he recognized without surprise. Song Xin, who was encircled by the crowd, saw Gao Chuan coming in from afar and immediately stood up from the sofa, turning around to say to a few people beside her, proudly: "See, I told you he’d come."
The woman wove through the crowd towards Gao Chuan at the entrance. The man was in a deep black suit, with thick eyebrows and long lashes, appearing handsome and restrained.
Gao Chuan watched as Song Xin approached him, handed over the gift box to her, and said indifferently, "Happy Birthday."
Song Xin happily accepted it. Although she knew Gao Chuan never took gift-giving seriously, the mere act of receiving a gift from him delighted her.
As the birthday girl, Song Xin was wearing a blue strapless dress, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders, her graceful stature and stunning makeup made her look radiant and attractively bright.
"I’m very happy you could come," Song Xin whispered to the man, her face blushingly shy despite the clamor of the crowd and the particularly loud music.
Song Li, who was at the other end of the room, saw Song Xin leave the group to find Gao Chuan immediately and strolled over to talk to them, his tone slightly accusatory for Gao Chuan’s late arrival, "You finally made it. You have no idea, Song Xin wouldn’t let us cut the cake without you."
