Chapter 666

"I have met Qiao Muting."

This face that could enter the entertainment industry.

He didn't know why, but he always felt as if he had met Qiao Muting somewhere in private before, but he had forgotten when.

The two did not know each other, so Shu Chen did not strike up a conversation.

"Are you here to eat with the production crew?"

This question startled Shu Chen, making his eyes widen; he looked left and right, but there was no one else, only him and Qiao Muting, so was Qiao Muting asking him?

He nodded a beat too late, having realized it only then: "Yeah, that's right."

Wasn't it said that Qiao Muting was very difficult to approach?

Would someone who is difficult to approach take the initiative to talk to someone they don't know?

Seen his acting? Is Qiao Muting the type of person who would binge-watch dramas?

I heard that there are no women around Qiao Muting, and he can even chase away women who throw themselves at him; could it be...

Shu Chen touched his arm, which had broken out in goosebumps, and glanced at the elevator; is it really this slow to go to the sixth floor?

Qiao Muting was used to seeing people afraid of him and assumed Shu Chen was afraid of him, so he secretly softened his aura; after all, he was Shu Xia's second brother, "I'll pay for your table."

Shu Chen's eyes widened even further, and he didn't dare to look at Qiao Muting at all.

Oh, damn it!

The goosebumps on his arms grew even thicker.

You can't offend a big shot; this is a pure big shot in Jing City. If you can't afford to provoke him, can't you just hide from him?

"Ah, no need, no need, our male lead is treating us today, I can't steal his thunder. Um, thanks though!"

Shu Chen finished saying thanks stiffly, and just as the elevator arrived, the moment the elevator doors opened, he immediately flew out like a gust of wind.

Qiao Muting's cold, stern eyebrows arched; was he really that scary?

He would ask Shu Xia when he saw her how her second brother managed to get into the entertainment industry, seeing as he acted like a mouse seeing a cat whenever he saw him?

Qiao Muting walked toward the private room.

When he opened the door.

The scene that came into view made him freeze in place.

"Happy birthday!"

Shu Xia smiled brilliantly, "Is it a surprise? Is it unexpected?"

Qiao Muting's expression and emotions crumbled for a moment, and in the eyes he looked at Shu Xia with, there seemed to be a shimmering light surging that had never appeared before.

It gradually seeped toward his heart.

"How did you know today is my birthday?" He looked at her, and in his deep eyes, there seemed to be only Shu Xia.

Shu Xia smiled: "I pinched my fingers and calculated it."

Then she brought her hands out from behind her back.

In her palm was an exquisite jewelry box.

"A birthday gift for you; time was a bit tight and it's not very well prepared, so don't mind it."

Qiao Muting looked at the small box in Shu Xia's soft, fair palm and took it with somewhat stiff movements.

Shu Xia waited for two minutes, but didn't see Qiao Muting open it.

She immediately urged: "Open it and take a look."

She was even somewhat looking forward to his reaction when he saw the gift.

When she was little, she loved receiving gifts her brothers made the most.

Sometimes it was a drawing, a frog, or a fish; her gifts were diverse.

When it was her birthday, her two brothers and Shu Hong would all sing to her.

Therefore, she really liked birthdays.

Qiao Muting moved as slowly as if he were about to unwrap something extremely precious, and opened the box.

A ring lay inside.

A platinum ring with a very simple design.

"Hurry and look inside; other rings aren't suitable for engraving, so I finally chose this one," Shu Xia reminded Qiao Muting.

So, giving a gift to someone else makes you very nervous.

Actually, she really wanted to see the person receiving the gift like her intentions.

Qiao Muting took out the ring and, following Shu Xia's reminder, saw the engraving inside the ring.

A simple, archaic pattern, and the four characters for "Happy Birthday."
