When Long Sijue heard what Gu Mian said, he sucked in a sharp breath. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing… This is my birthday gift for you. It’s not expensive, but I designed and made it myself. I hope you like it.”
Su Qianxun really had no idea whether he would like her “cheap”, handmade birthday present.
She took out the birthday gift she prepared and held it out in front of Long Sijue. She waited a little anxiously for his reaction.
All eyes were on Long Sijue. Long Sijue snatched the box from Su Qianxun and tossed it forcefully into the trash can beside him.
Everyone was shocked, and Gu Mian was so taken aback that she dropped her fork. All of them looked nervously at the man who had suddenly flew into a rage.
When Su Qianxun saw Long Sijue throwing away the necktie she put so much effort into making and even safeguarded with her own life, her eyes immediately reddened. She failed to hold her tears back, and droplets of tears rolled down her cheeks.
Everyone who was present watched what was going on with bated breath. Ye Gu, who was standing not far away from them, clenched his fists. He felt like a large hand was gripping his heart, and he was almost out of breath. He was willing to die if it meant that Su Qianxun would give him a handmade gift.
Su Qianxun turned and was about to flee because the place was suffocating her. Long Sijue suddenly reached out and grabbed her. He held her shoulders and said, “Nothing in the world is worth your life, do you understand!?”
“This is your birthday gift… It’s my first time making a necktie.”
Long Sijue lowered his head and fixed his gaze on the young woman. As she was upset and emotional, her eyes were red and teary. Long Sijue felt as if an invisible hand was clutching his heart forcefully. There was an acute sense of suffocation in his chest, and his heart ached terribly. He could not even breath properly. However, he felt all mushy and warm inside, as if someone had built a hot spring in the space between his lungs.
Long Sijue suddenly released his grip on her. He turned, retrieved the beautiful gift box from the trash can and opened it. There was a necktie with a lily of the valley embroidered on it inside.
When Tang Zui, Si Mancheng, and Gu Mian saw this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Sijue took out the necktie from the box and passed it to Su Qianxun. He said in a hoarse voice, “Put in on for me.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Su Qianxun took the necktie. ‘Well, I’ll let him have his way as it’s his birthday today.’
Long Sijue loosened his necktie, pulled it off his neck and tossed it straight into the trash can. He took a step forward to stand in front of the young woman before lowering his head to gaze at her.
Su Qianxun wanted to say something as she looked at the abandoned necktie, but ended up swallowing her words. She earnestly lopped the necktie around his neck and carefully tied a knot.
“Qianxun, do you know what it means for a woman to give a man a necktie?” Gu Mian suddenly asked.
Puzzled, Su Qianxun looked at Gu Mian. Meanwhile, Long Sijue continued to fix his gaze on Su Qianxun. When Gu Mian saw this, she explained with a smile, “A woman gives her man a necktie to tie the man to her forever so that he will never leave her!”
Su Qianxin widened her eyes in shock. This was not her intention. She merely wanted to give him a gift. Worried that Long Sijue would misunderstand things, she turned and wanted to explain. But, before she could speak, Long Sijue lowered his head and brought his lips to hers.
Long Sijue knew very well that this was definitely not the young woman’s intention, but he liked the meaning behind the gift very much.
