Besides, whatever she gave him, he liked it all.
He went downstairs to take the cake out of the fridge, heated two cups of milk, and went upstairs to call her.
Patted her rosy cheeks softly and said, "Get up and have breakfast."
Hearing his voice, Gu Qimiao suddenly opened her eyes, pouted slightly, stretched, and then sat up from the bed.
Shen Yanchen walked to the wardrobe and picked out an outfit for her, "Hurry up and freshen up."
Gu Qimiao thought of the kiss last night, and her hand unconsciously touched her forehead.
When washing her face, she was reluctant to wash that area.
After changing her clothes and coming out, she was fully awake, and when she saw him sitting at the dining table, she immediately walked over. Seeing the small cake on the table, she felt a bit awkward.
Sitting across from him, she said, "You haven’t eaten yet..."
"I got back too late last night, so I’ll eat the same today."
Gu Qimiao smiled and watched as he took a knife to cut the cake, giving her a piece and himself a piece.
He then said, "I really like the gift."
Gu Qimiao paused and then noticed the tie around his neck. She felt a burst of joy in her heart and then heard him ask, "How did you know it was my birthday yesterday?"
"Oh... I heard from Xiaoxiao." She smiled and replied.
How could she tell him that she remembered his birthday every year and wished him in silence from afar?
Shen Yanchen felt a bit down hearing this. So it was Xiaoxiao who told her, if he had known, he wouldn’t have asked.
After dropping Gu Qimiao off at the gallery, he drove to the company. On the way, Lu Qianwen called, but he hung up directly and then blocked her number.
When he arrived at the company, He Ye teased him, "Brother Chen, you’re not coming to work on time lately!"
Shen Yanchen just gave him a look without saying anything.
Before Gu Qimiao came into his life, he lived only for work. But now it was different. He had to wake her up, make breakfast for her, and drop her off at the gallery first, so naturally, he wasn’t on time anymore.
"Oh, Brother Chen, this tie looks nice today! Newly bought? No time for work but time for shopping, huh?"
This compliment pleased Shen Yanchen, and he was in a good mood throughout the morning meeting. Even the people below sensed the difference in President Shen today.
At noon, Gu Qimiao rubbed her sore neck. Ever since she started learning the software, she felt utterly drained, with no time to slack off.
"Miaomiao, let’s go for lunch." Mei Jie called from the doorway. Gu Qimiao immediately closed her laptop and dashed out, determined to fill her stomach first.
Having become close with Mei Jie, both of them were quite casual, and their taste in food was similar, having almost tried every restaurant nearby.
While eating, Gu Qimiao complained about how hard it was to learn the software, and Mei Jie also complained about how annoying their supervisor Feng Xuemeng was.
She said Feng Xuemeng was very cunning, "Boss isn’t around, she bosses us around for everything, but once the boss is here, she starts sucking up. Besides, I think she has a crush on the boss!"
Gu Qimiao laughed upon hearing this, "Haha, Teacher Fang is handsome, it’s normal to have a crush on him."
Mei Jie teased her, "So you don’t have a crush on the boss? There’s a saying, ’The pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first,’ you know."
Gu Qimiao blushed and said shyly, "I already have someone in my heart."
"Oh, that guy who came to find you during the last art exhibition? He was good-looking but impolite!"
Gu Qimiao immediately corrected, "That’s my brother!"
Hearing this, Mei Jie got curious, "Then who do you like? Someone more handsome than the boss?"
Shen Yanchen’s perfect face appeared in Gu Qimiao’s mind, and she nodded without hesitation, with a bit of infatuation in her eyes. Mei Jie thought she was a fan of some celebrity.
