Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 390: Birthday Gift, First Round

In a blink, it was Yu Xia’s birthday.

From the morning onwards, she received all sorts of blessings and door-to-door deliveries.

Unwrapping gifts is a very joyous thing, she doesn’t care about the value or the quantity, she simply loves the feeling of being blessed.

Most of the gifts she unwrapped were decorations, which she placed around the house, and she started unwrapping the two largest ones.

The sender didn’t use their real name, and she didn’t know who sent them. The package box was over a meter tall.

As she was unwrapping it, she pondered what could be inside, never guessing that it turned out to be a set of single-person desk and chair.

...Could it be her brother bought it for Yu Yue and sent it to the wrong place?

Among all the gifts, this desk set stood out awkwardly, and she stood beside it in deep thought, guessing how likely it was that Xie Qingci bought it.

Assuming Xie Qingci bought it, why would he buy a desk set for her? What’s the deeper meaning?

She couldn’t figure it out and decided to wait for him to come over and explain it himself.

Xie Qingci arrived at eleven, stepping out of the elevator and striding confidently to the door like entering his own home.

As soon as he entered, he tossed away his bag, removed his hat and mask, and gave Yu Xia a deep kiss.

She was pressed against the wall, forced to accept his overwhelming desire as if he could swallow her whole.

This was too passionate; Yu Xia couldn’t handle it, so she vigorously patted his back.

Xie Qingci finally let her go after he had enough, noticing the desk set in the center of the living room as his eyes flickered.

"Haven’t tidied up yet? Want me to help?"

Yu Xia covered her mouth, gasping, and nodded upon hearing that.

Watching him move the desk set into her room, she instinctively became cautious, following him and asking, "Is this really from you? Is this the surprise you mentioned?"

It’s indeed surprising, but not joyful.

Xie Qingci nodded with an "Mm," but then shook his head: "I’ll show you something tonight."

She raised an eyebrow: "Could you give me a hint first?"

It won’t be like last time, will it? Making her wear special clothes to heighten the ceremony?

Let her think; with Xie Qingci’s amazing physique, what would be considered a surprise? Lace, maybe?

Xie Qingci was completely oblivious to her imagination, smiling back at her: "I’m afraid not, surprises don’t come with previews."

Hearing the word "preview," Yu Xia paused, pretended like nothing happened, and quickly changed the subject.

"Since the surprise is for tonight, how should we spend the afternoon? Do you have any appetizer plans for me?"

"What appetizer do you want? Me?"

Yu Xia: "...Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"

That wouldn’t be called an appetizer; that’d be the main dish.

Xie Qingci bent down, blowing gently into her ear.

"You’re the boss today, whatever you say goes."

It’s as if he’s saying, "I’m yours to play with however you want."

In addition to the expected excitement, Yu Xia felt a chill at the back of her neck.

It’s probably like having a delicate concubine at home but worrying you’ll be drained, like a trembling leg that can’t let the beauty enjoy herself from an aging lord?

She was silent for two seconds, planning to eat and drink her fill first.

"I want the ribs soup you make, and chestnut braised chicken."

"Alright, I can even make the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Soup."

The two stood closer and closer, and Yu Xia was caught off guard as he picked her up.

Tightly pressed together just barely quenched their thirst, Xie Qingci held her against the wall, tilting his head to demand another kiss.

Today is a special day; Yu Xia was willing to indulge him, lowering her head to cooperate.

The house was quiet. In the room with the door ajar, within the walls separating the empty living room, the tall man tensed his arm muscles, kissing the slender figure in his embrace passionately.

Slowly, but irresistibly, he’s accustomed to using humble devotion to gain indulgence, forcing her to surrender in this intimate contact that couldn’t be refused.

One couldn’t control; one enjoyed the indulgence, they actually coordinated quite well.

Their kiss was almost unstoppable until Yu Xia patted him to stop.

Xie Qingci was like a robot without a self-pause button, always needing her manual reminder.

The two tightly embraced each other, each with head buried on the other’s shoulder, panting without speaking for a while.

After a moment, Yu Xia reminded him: "Put me down, aren’t your arms tired?"

"Not tired," he said lazily, then turned to nibble her ear.

Yu Xia quickly dodged to the side, struggling to get down.

Xie Qingci could only put her down, watching as she ran out of the room.

Behaving as if there was a wolf in the bedroom, he raised an eyebrow.

There were still a bunch of gifts in the living room that hadn’t been tidied up, and Xie Qingci stood at the bedroom door, arms crossed, watching her categorize things.

"There should be something else coming up soon," he said.

Yu Xia: "What thing? College entrance exam papers?"

A perfect fit with the desk and chair, is this a cosplay idea?

Xie Qingci shook his head, just about to speak when the delivery arrived.

The delivery person was a formally dressed waiter, handing her a branded tote bag that looked very upscale.

After closing the door, she looked at the brand name on the tote bag and said:

"I don’t remember this being one of the brands I endorse... Wait, I’ve worn this luxury brand, but at most, I’m just a promotional ambassador. Not qualified enough for the brand to send personal birthday gifts, right?"

Xie Qingci: "Open it and see."

She glanced at him, doubtfully opened the tote bag, and unwrapped the box inside.

It was a couture dress.

"Metal Maiden?" she asked in surprise, holding up the dress. "You’ve bought it?"

"Yes, the matching high heels are also inside."

She took out the high heels as well, the golden hollow stilettos looked just like those from an anime, she thought they were beautiful when she wore them back then.

Unwrapping everything, she pointed at the dress and asked: "What’s the meaning of this gift? Couture is worn only once, or do you want me to wear it at home?"

"Depends on what you like," he paused and continued, "I like it as well."

Yu Xia gave him a look that said "So you like things this flashy."

Although couture is worn only once, this Metal Maiden outfit is just so gorgeous, even hanging it at home for admiration is worth it.

She walked over and gave him a satisfactory kiss.

"I really like this gift."

Xie Qingci pressed on the corner of her lips with his finger, rubbing twice. His actions were rough, but his voice was gentle: "Don’t rush, there’s more."

"More?" Her eyes lit up.

Who doesn’t like receiving gift after gift?

"What is it? Oh, I’m not just happy; I’m worried for you, too. You’ve just started out, haven’t made much money, yet spent such a fortune on expensive gifts. A couple million spent like this must hurt, right?"

"You should worry more about yourself," he said with a smile, hearing a knock on the door outside, "Hmm, I think it’s arrived."

Yu Xia didn’t yet understand what he meant by "worry about yourself," but heard the sound and quickly went to open the door to receive the gift.

This time, it was another luxury brand, skillfully unwrapped revealing a fiery red strapless split dress.

The familiar color made her eyelid twitch.

As Xie Qingci casually walked forward, he meaningfully said: "Sister looks best in a red dress, with a wine glass in hand, confidently trampling on people with high heels."

Yu Xia dryly laughed twice: "...Why buy two dresses? That’s too extravagant."

"Of course there’s a reason. I want to see you wear this dress all day."
