My Secretary is a Little Sweet Chapter 318 – Birthday

Chapter 318: Birthday

But what happened today completely ruined Jing Yichen’s original plan.

Jing Yichen had wanted to make an enormous cake with 27 layers, symbolizing her 27th birthday. He had also booked a luxurious restaurant where he would celebrate the birthday for her.

This cake was not big. But Shangguan Ning was already satisfied.

She was not a woman who cared much about material things. For her, it was already the biggest happiness that Jing Yichen was with her on her birthday.

She was a woman easily satisfied.

Jing Yichen lit the candle and said softly, “Baby, make a wish.”

Shangguan Ning put her palms together, closed her eyes and said only one sentence inside her heart – I wish that we could live happily forever.

Jing Yichen noticed that she opened her eyes quickly and blew off the candles. He didn’t ask her what wish she had made because he could guess it. She was a simple woman and the wish that she made must have been ordinary as well.

He took out an exquisite box and gave it to Shangguan Ning. “Baby, here is your birthday present.”

Shangguan Ning opened it and got surprised by what was inside.

It was a rose diamond as large as a longan, clear and beautifully cut. It twinkled brightly against the light.

What a huge diamond and what a rare color! Shangguan Ning had seen something like this for the first time.

“How pretty!” She let out a surprised sigh.

Seeing her so fascinated, Jing Yichen felt really happy. He took the ring and slipped it into her finger. “It suits you well.”

This must have been a very precious diamond ring, one that couldn’t be bought just with money. Jing Yichen must have made a lot of effort in buying it.

Shangguan Ning’s heart was full.

Jing Yichen spoiled her so much and tried everything he could, to buy her the most precious treasures.

Diamonds symbolize eternal love. Seeing the large diamond on her fingers, Shangguan Ning said with tears. “I am very happy, Yichen, thank you so much. It is the happiest birthday that I have ever experienced!”

Thank you so much for giving me such great love.

My life started to mean something after I met you.

It was a peaceful night. The incidence of Shen Lingbing’s death, which had shocked the entire A City didn’t seem to have influenced this cozy home.

It was Zhao Anan’s birthday the following day, one day after Ning’s.

Shangguan Ning went to Zhao Anan’s home with presents and soon Zheng Lun reached there as well.

But Jing Yichen, Mu Qing and Zheng Jing went to Family Jing, instead. Shen Jinjun and his elder son Shen Lingyue were paying a visit to Jing Zhongxiu there.

The incident of Shen Lingbing’s death was getting more and more fierce. Family Jing was the biggest victim, with stock prices falling tremendously and their reputation getting impacted.

Therefore, Shangguan Ning and her friends didn’t have a huge celebration for Zhao Anan’s birthday, either.

Zhao Anan didn’t care much about birthday celebrations. Instead, she said to Shangguan Ning concernedly, “So scumbag Jing Yiran is not the murderer? That bastard, always causing mess for my cousin to clear up for him. My cousin must have been impacted again this time.”

Shangguan Ning nodded and said in a low voice, “It is not Jing Yiran, that is what Yichen says. Zheng Jing thinks so too.”

Zheng Lun nodded. Her voice sounded gentle as usual. “I don’t think that Uncle Shen would think Family Jing are the murderers.”

She was on the crime scene yesterday. Zheng Jing had her around wherever he went. Zheng Lun was not so scared at the scene where it was not full of blood.

She was not that timid after going out with Zheng Jing so many times. Her personality had improved tremendously.

Shangguan Ning and Zhao Anan looked at her in surprise after hearing what she said.

Both of them thought that Shen Jinjun had gone to Family Jing to ask for an explanation. But Zheng Lun said that he also believed Family Jing for being innocent.

Zheng Lun had no idea how to explain. She just had a hunch.

“When I saw Uncle Shen yesterday, his eyes were bloodshot, but he was very courteous towards Master Jing. So don’t worry, Family Shen wouldn’t cause trouble.”

When Zheng Lun talked, she felt a sense of happiness in her heart.

She didn’t know that one day she would be able to talk so confidently after being a timid woman for a long time. She had grown more mature staying by her brother’s side.

Zheng Lun’s words largely consoled Shangguan Ning and Zhao Anan.

The three women started to cook in the kitchen for Zhao Anan’s birthday celebration.

Zhao Anan’s servants had been sick and hadn’t been coming to avoid infecting Zhao Anan.

Shangguan Ning had rarely cooked as a young woman. After marrying Jing Yichen, she cooked even less. So she had no idea where to start, standing in the kitchen.

There would be six people sitting for lunch. They had brought the ingredients and now they needed to cook.

Shangguan Ning didn’t know how to cook and Zhao Anan, who was born a wealthy girl, had never been to the kitchen.

Shangguan Ning knew how to use the stove to cook instant noodles and boil frozen dumplings. But Zhao Anan didn’t even know that much.

Zheng Lun, who had grown up pampered as a princess, only put on clothes and ate ready made food. She had no idea how to use the stove either.

The three of them exchanged a look with one another and then walked out of the kitchen, feeling depressed. They had no idea what to do with the vegetables and meat.

“Ning, I thought that you were a virtuous woman. But you can’t even cook! So dumb you are! You just look like an elegant woman in vain.” Zhao Anan poked at Shangguan Ning next to her, teasing.

“What does cooking have anything to do with charisma? You can’t even tell Chinese cabbage from ordinary cabbage. You are worse than me for laughing at me.”

Shangguan Ning rolled eyes at her and started to stuff the chips into her mouth as she leaned onto the sofa, cozily.

Hearing them teasing each other, Zheng Lun laughed. “None of us can cook, so what should we do about lunch? What about getting my chef to cook for us?”

Family Zheng lived far from Zhao Anan’s home so it was not a good idea.

Zhao Anan shook her head and took the chips from Shangguan Ning as she mumbled, “It is okay, just wait. When my cousin and Mu Qing come back, they can cook for us. Both of them can cook well, especially my cousin. But if he doesn’t want to… I’ll ask Mu Qing to do so. Just leave it all to Mu Qing. He has learned how to make healthy food as part of his education. So food made by him will be tasty and nutritious.”
