Chapter 663

With such an important matter as a birthday, did the young master not tell the young mistress?

After thinking for a moment, Butler Qin sighed again, "Alas, the young master is actually quite pitiful. For the past few years, he has only spent his birthdays with the old madam, but this year is better, as he has the young mistress to spend it with."

Sounds quite pitiful, doesn't it?

Butler Qin felt that she was quite clever.

"We have booked a restaurant for this evening. Thank you for the reminder, Butler Qin; we won't go to disturb the old madam today."

After ending the call, Shu Xia immediately used her lunch break to go to the shopping mall across the street to pick out a gift.

The mall was filled with a dazzling array of goods: men's clothing, bags, and so on.

She had no idea what kind of birthday gift would be good to give Qiao Muting.

If she had known two days in advance, she would have had time to choose carefully.

Qiao Muting's clothes were all handmade haute couture.

Suddenly, she saw a pair of couple's loungewear in a display cabinet.

There was a very cute little deer embroidery on the chest.

If she and Qiao Muting wore the same clothes at home, what would that scene be like?

Or rather, if Qiao Muting wore this type of loungewear, what would that scene be like?

She dared not imagine it.

But Shu Xia bought them on a whim.

Loungewear couldn't serve as a birthday gift, so in the end, she went to pick out a ring, which could be engraved on the spot.

She drew a pattern, a flower design that could ensure peace, and then added the words: Happy Birthday.

The craftsman's skill was good; the drawing was almost exactly the same as what she had sketched.

The item wasn't expensive, but it was the thought that counted.

Jiang Nannan returned to the studio.

Everyone else had been given time off by Sheng An.

Only Sheng An and Liu Hang were there.

"I'm sorry, Sheng Laoshi, Brother Liu, I came back because I want to resign."

Jiang Nannan had prepared a belly full of words, but when they reached her lips, she didn't know how to say them. By the time she realized she had spoken, the resignation had come out very stiffly.

"Resign?" Liu Hang immediately looked at Sheng An.

Sheng An's cold, handsome face revealed a hint of clear, deep intensity, "Jiang Nannan, I have said that his blacklisting cannot affect me. This matter will be settled after some time; there is no need for you to resign out of guilt."

What exactly did Huo Jingyan say to her after she went to see him?

To make a girl who once had light in her eyes become a poor little thing with no light in her eyes?

Although Liu Hang didn't know where Sheng An's confidence came from, he had noticed over the past two years that Sheng An seemed to have a secret he had hidden for over a decade.

Even he couldn't guess it, but he had vaguely sensed the details of the secret.

"Listen to Sheng Laoshi, there's no need to resign. Sheng Laoshi happens to be resting during this period; otherwise, going abroad to participate in activities in two days will also affect his state," Liu Hang spoke up to help persuade her.

One shouldn't fear power, right?

Jiang Nannan looked blankly at the two people in front of her, "If... if I continue to stay, perhaps no one will dare to look for Sheng Laoshi to film in the country."

For Sheng An, an acting career was so important; if there were no roles to film in the future, that would be too unfair to Sheng An.

"I cannot ruin the careers of Sheng Laoshi and you, Brother Liu, because of me. I cannot be that selfish, and besides, my affairs have affected work recently. I am no longer suitable to stay, I am truly sorry."

Sheng An knew that Jiang Nannan's mind was made up, so after a moment of silence, he said, "I do not agree to the resignation, but you may take a month off. Use this month to handle your own affairs. As for the careers of myself and Liu Hang, there will be a turning point in a month's time. You can come back then."

"Yes, yes, yes, just take a month off first," Liu Hang immediately echoed.

He secretly glanced at Sheng An. A month?

He even gave a timeframe; it seems he is very certain.

Jiang Nannan could only agree.

There was still a more troublesome matter waiting for her next.
