After the divorce, the boss doted on me

The gap between the reality and the ideal is too big. Before she came, she considered that the conditions were not allowed, so she took the next best thing and prepared a small cake, but the small cake was gone.

Comparing with the eight-layer cake on her birthday night, it makes me feel that Ji Lingchuan's birthday was really miserable.

Seeing her expression, Ji Lingchuan quickly took it from her hand and held it in his palm: "Why is it gone? Isn't this a birthday cake? Although it's not very pretty, it must be delicious."

Gu Mian looked at the horrible cake, she chose a famous cake shop, so the taste would not be bad.

"Would you like to eat?" she asked.

"Of course I want to eat what was given to me."

Ji Lingchuan put the cake on the bedside table, tore off the little bow on the box, and carefully lifted the box from bottom to top.

"Wait, I remember there are candles in it." Gu Mian rummaged through the paper bag, she specifically asked the store for birthday candles, and explained that there were only two numbers, 2 and 4.

She took out two pink candles and put them on the cake. Seeing this, Ji Lingchuan took out a lighter from the drawer and lit it, and turned off the lights in the room by the way.

Looking at the flickering candlelight, Gu Mian instantly healed the bad mood caused by the damaged cake, and urged, "A Chuan, make a wish."

In the candlelight, the little girl was kneeling on the bed, with her chin resting on her hands, her beautiful eyes were full of joy, as if helping him celebrate his birthday was a very happy thing.

In fact, Ji Lingchuan himself can't remember when was the last time he made a wish on a birthday cake, five years old?Still six years old?He only remembered that he didn't have a good birthday after he was eight years old.

This kind of small candles burn very fast, Gu Mian watched them decrease inch by inch, a little anxious: "Hurry up, make a wish on the birthday cake candle and it will come true in the coming year."

Ji Lingchuan closed his eyes obediently, put his palms together like he did on TV, and silently made a wish in his heart.

He is not greedy, he just wants his little girl to be happy.

Gu Mian tilted her head to look at him, and saw that the man's face was enveloped in the warm candlelight, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his expression was very devout, as if he was praying.

Her hands were itchy, and she wanted to poke his long eyelashes, but before the fingertips could touch him, he opened his eyes abruptly, Gu Mian quickly withdrew her hand, and acted obediently: "Hurry up and blow out the candles."

Ji Lingchuan leaned over and blew out the candles as he said, his eyes were still sincere, as if after completing the last step, the wish would really come true.

The lights in the room were turned on again, Gu Mian took out a small spoon and handed it to the birthday star: "Okay, you can enjoy your birthday cake now."

Ji Lingchuan scooped up a spoon, didn't eat it himself, but brought it to her mouth, with a moving light in his eyes: "Thank you for the surprise you prepared for me. For me, your arrival is the best birthday present."

It's also the happiest birthday I've ever had.

Gu Mian took the first bite of the cake, licked her lips and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

Ji Lingchuan took a sip, and as expected, the appearance was not good but the taste was excellent, so he nodded his head and commented earnestly; "Well, it's delicious."

The two smiled at each other.

Just like on the night of Gu Mian's birthday, a small piece of cake was eaten by you and me.

Ji Lingchuan got up, packed the packing box and threw it into the trash can, and was about to wash up when the phone rang.

He saw the caller ID, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

Who is calling, why is he so happy?Gu Mian was a little puzzled. He picked up the phone, looked at her, and said to the person on the phone, "Dad, are you still up so late?"

It's Ji Lingchuan's father!
Gu Mian sat on the bed with her hands on her knees, like a primary school student listening carefully in class, listening to the conversation between Ji Lingchuan and her father.

Ji Lingchuan didn't avoid her, and even moved closer to her so that she could hear better.

On the other end of the phone, Ji's father said with a smile: "I didn't sleep, I was watching TV. Are you off work?"

Ji's father didn't know much about being a celebrity before, and always thought it was a very distant thing. Ji Lingchuan explained to him that in fact, being a celebrity is one of many professions, just like going to work, there are working hours, the difference is that the working hours are not fixed .

Ji's father remembered this, and always regarded "starting work and finishing work" as "going to work and leaving get off work".

The last time Ji Lingchuan called him was a week ago, saying that he had joined a new film crew and was very busy with work, and often had to work overtime until late, so he waited while watching TV, deliberately delaying calling him until now.

Ji Lingchuan said: "I didn't work overtime tonight, so I left work early."

"I have nothing else to do, just want to say happy birthday to you."

"Thank you dad."

"Then what do you eat for your birthday? Do you have longevity noodles? Boiled eggs? Oh no, people in the city don't like to eat these, so there should be birthday cakes."

The conversation between the father and son, Gu Mian, was a bit difficult to hear. Ji Lingchuan spoke Mandarin mixed with local dialect, and Ji's father spoke the native dialect that she couldn't understand.After persisting for 1 minute, she gave up and collapsed on the bed, staring at something in a daze.

Ji Lingchuan noticed her movements and couldn't help laughing, and said: "I had dinner with colleagues from the crew at night. The chef cooked a table of good dishes. I didn't eat longevity noodles, but I ate delicious cakes."

Ji's father was finally relieved when he heard the words, he was worried that his son would even forget his own birthday when he was so busy.

"It's rare not to work overtime, so I won't waste your time. Take a good rest." Ji's father was about to hang up the phone when he thought of something and rambled, "Also, pay attention to your health when you are outside alone, stay up late and supplement your nutrition. I saw on TV that you are as thin as a matchstick, can you hug your wife?"

Ji Lingchuan was suddenly happy, and looked Gu Mian from head to toe: "I can hug him."

Ji's father didn't know why he laughed out loud. Looking back, he didn't say anything funny: "Then let's talk here for today, I'll hang up."

Ji Lingchuan: "Well, you have to take care of yourself at home. Don't be reluctant to spend money. If you feel unwell, you must call me as soon as possible. If no one answers, call the number I saved for you. That's me. Broker's phone number."

"I remember it all."

After hanging up the phone, Ji's father chanted to the elderly phone, he had to emphasize this every time he called, he had a leg injury and not a brain injury, how could he not remember.

He said so, but there was a smile on his lips, and he felt ironed in his heart.

Ji Lingchuan put his mobile phone on the bedside table and looked down at the girl on the bed. Thinking of what his father said, he suddenly put his arm around her waist and hugged her up.

Gu Mian was startled, and heard him say: "My father said that I am too thin, and I am worried that I will not be able to hold my daughter-in-law. I need to verify it."

Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law?

She didn't know whether it was because of this posture that made her brain congested or because of this overly intimate address, but she felt her cheeks heating up rapidly.

She took a deep breath and patted him on the back: "put me down quickly."

Does this kind of thing need to be verified now?Obviously he has hugged her many times before, just before eating the cake, he even hugged her once.

Ji Lingchuan put Gu Mian down, the only thing he felt was that she was really thin. He looked at the flushed girl and said seriously, "Eat more in the future, you are too thin."

Then, he picked up his pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower, leaving Gu Mian alone still distracted by the sound of "wife".

He...how did he say this name so naturally.

Gu Mian turned over and covered her chest with her hands, it wasn't her illusion, her heartbeat was indeed a little fast, like beating a drum.

She couldn't help thinking, did Ji Lingchuan and his father usually call her that?He already regarded her as his wife?

Just thinking about it made her cheeks heat up again.

It's terrible, she is still ignorant about dating, and she hasn't thought about getting married yet.She firmly believes that she and Ji Lingchuan will be together forever, but she always feels that she is still a long time away from getting married.

Gu Mian thought about it, maybe it's because she is still in school, she is only a freshman, and it will take more than three years to finish college, maybe she wants to take a postgraduate entrance examination, a doctorate or something.

Her thoughts gradually drifted away, and she thought that there seemed to be an example of getting married first and then going to school...

Stop, stop, Gu Mian, where did you go!

Gu Mian lay down on the bed in a different position, her face buried in the pillow, and she was so embarrassed by her own thoughts.She must have been influenced by Ji Lingchuan, yes, she must have been influenced by him, who told him to call her indiscriminately.

Gu Mian felt that she was about to be suffocated, so she changed back to the original side-lying position, but she met Ji Lingchuan's handsome face last time.

He didn't know when he came out of the bathroom. He noticed Gu Mian's strangeness, squatted on the side of the bed and touched her cheek: "Is it a little hot? Actually, this quilt is a winter quilt, and it's time to change the spring and autumn quilt. Forget about it."

Gu Mian responded indiscriminately, using the reason he gave to cover up her guilty conscience: "It's a little hot."

"Do you want to change it now?" Ji Lingchuan said, "The quilt is in the closet, just put on the quilt."

"No, it's not too hot."

In the next second, Gu Mian wanted to take back her words, and when Ji Lingchuan lay beside her, she felt a heat source continuously releasing heat, such a strong sense of presence could not be ignored.

She held her breath subconsciously and tried to act calm. This was not the first time she slept on the same bed with Ji Lingchuan. In fact, he behaved very gentlemanly except for hugging her, without any overstepping the rules.

As soon as the thought flashed across her, Ji Lingchuan hugged her, and Gu Mian's back was only stiff for a moment before relaxing, and she was buried softly in his arms.

His chin rested on her forehead, and it was itchy on the skin because of the beard.

Gu Mian couldn't help touching his chin. Ji Lingchuan was a little uncomfortable, and turned his head to prevent her from touching it. There was a little unspeakable emotion in his eyes.

He said in an awkward tone, "Is it not as good-looking as before?"

He knew it was true without listening to her.The movie needs a scruffy criminal image, with straw-like messy hair and an unkempt beard, and the character image is basically half completed.

Gu Mian tilted her head back to see his appearance clearly: "No, he is still very handsome."

Ji Lingchuan had an expression of "I don't believe it", and she believed in her heart that she said that to make him happy.Even Zhao Chengcheng teased him, saying that he could just squat beside Gu and beg for food with the broken bowl.

Gu Mian sincerely suggested: "You can take a selfie and post it on Weibo to ask your fans if this image looks good."
