My Youth Began With Him

“I don’t think I’m that close with you, alright?” Qin Ning was shaken.

Was Ning-Ning a nickname that everyone could call her by?

“It’s okay, we’ll get to know each other,” Tang Chuan shamelessly said.

“I smell something fishy…” Wei Liao jokingly said.

“Eh, stop roasting me, okay? Sirs and madams, sisters and brothers, uncles and aunties, I’m formally announcing that my birthday is held at my mansion next week. Please show up, okay?”

“What time is it next week?” Huo Mian was a sensitive person to time.

“Next weekend at 6 PM.”

Wei Liao said, “The weekend, huh? Such a convenient time.”

Tang Chuan replied, “Yeah, so don’t find any excuses. It’s a good thing that my birthday is on the weekend.”

Su Yu said, “I have a business trip to Hong Kong next weekend.”

Tang Chuan replied, “Don’t give me that crap. Yu, even if you have to go to another continent, cancel that now… You have to be there.”

Su Yu said, “Are you forcing me?”

Tang Chuan replied, “I’m not forcing you, I’m asking… Haha, don’t cheap out on my birthday gift.”

Zhu Lingling said, “You want gifts? We’re out. You’re all rich, so you’re not in need of anything. We’re the only bureaucrats here. We can’t afford it, we’re dipping.”

Tang Chuan replied, “If the director’s wife is the one coming, she can come empty-handed. I won’t start anything.”

Zhu Lingling said, “Really?”

Tang Chuan said, “Of course, I need your Director Gao to take care of me a bit in the future, haha.”

Zhu Lingling said, “I knew you were planning something.”

Jiang Xiaowei asked, “Can I bring my baby?”

Tang Chuan said, “You’re welcome to. Are you sure though? After all, Pudding and Little Bean are going to be present.”

Jiang Xiaowei said, “Uh… If the twins are going to be coming, I’ll have to reconsider.”

Huo Mian replied, “Huh? Weiwei, what’s that supposed to mean? Are you bullying my daughters?”

Zhu Lingling said, “We wouldn’t dare to, but we have to consider our sons’ mental and physical health… After our last meeting, Boyuan said some interesting things… I think he learned it from Little Bean. I’m not going to go into how dirty it was, but Gao Ran gave him a beating for it… You can imagine.”

“Haha, good for the twins.” Su Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

Huo Mian was speechless…

Tang Chuan said, “Okay, stop arguing. We’re set on a date. Can you all make it?”

“Uh, I can’t,” Qin Ning meekly said, but it immediately grabbed everyone’s attention.

Tang Chuan said, “Ning-Ning, whatever you need, tell me. I will take care of it all for you.”

Wei Liao replied, “Oh man, here he goes again.”

Su Yu said, “He’s always been like this…”

Tang Chuan said, “Go away, I’m going to speak to Ning-Ning alone…”

Qin Ning replied, “Sorry, I can’t make it next week.”

Tang Chuan asked, “Why? You don’t want to come?”

Qin Ning said, “It’s not that I don’t want to come, I already booked a ticket back to the States. HQ already scheduled me for work, I have to go help my dad… Sorry, I’ll get you a present.”

Qin Ning added…

“Do I look like I care about a birthday present? Do you think I really need it from you?” Tang Chuan seemed displeased.

“Uh…” Qin Ning felt really awkward and didn’t know how to explain.

“So… when is your flight?” Tang Chuan asked.

“Saturday at 10:30…” Qin Ning meekly replied.

“Damn, did you do it on purpose? Can’t you leave a day later?” Tang Chuan was in disbelief.
