Chapter 1640 - 1640 Back for the Birthday
1640 Back for the Birthday
Previously, Xia Xibei and Qi Yongjiang had a little conflict. She made Qi Yongjiang suffer a small injury, but that was more than half a year ago.
It’d been so long that Xia Xibei had forgotten about such things.
Now it seemed that Qi Yongjiang did not have such a temperament.
Xia Xibei came back just in time to see him and got a blank stare from him.
!!
That gaze could include a lot of meaning.
Xia Xibei was speechless. How was a grown-up so petty?
However, Qi Zhi’an had said before, Qi Yongjiang was this kind of petty person. What could she do?
Xia Xibei shrugged, ignored him, and walked inside.
She came back today for her birthday.
The birthday party should have been a big one, to show everyone that she was the real Miss Qi.
However, she refused.
She didn’t want to make such a big deal right now.
Moreover, even if her ident.i.ty was announced to the world, it would not be of much use for the time being.
As far as she could see, it would only add to her worries.
If other people knew she was the Qi family’s young lady, there was no telling how much ingratiation would flock to her.
She didn’t need to use the Qi family’s prestige right now.
So, she refused.
Besides, she still had to prepare for the meeting with her fans, so she was very busy.
In this situation, she didn’t have time to dwell on so much.
After hearing her reasoning, Qi Zhi’an and Ling Xiao both agreed.
They agreed to whatever she wanted to do.
However, coming back to spend a birthday together was also appropriate.
Even if she had to spend her birthday with her fans, she could spend it with her family in advance!
After so many years, where they had not spent their birthdays together, this was appropriate.
So, Xia Xibei came back.
When she returned to the Qi house, they saw Ling Xiao’s warm smile.
Ling Xiao looked at her daughter, who had grown up even more, and burst into tears.
Although they often chatted online, video chatting and meeting in person were different.
“Mom,” Xia Xibei hugged Ling Xiao and shouted.
Ling Xiao’s tears almost came out again.
Xia Xibei rarely called her “Mom.”
Every time she heard her call her “Mom,” she felt different.
“Come, let’s go inside and relax.”
She dragged Xia Xibei inside.
Xia Xibei followed obediently inside, asking, “Where’s Qi Xin?”
“Xinxin is…” Ling Xiao carefully measured her expression before speaking. “She went out shopping.”
“Shopping?”
“Yes, her friend invited her. She’ll be back later.”
“Oh,” Xia Xibei did not ask too much.
Qi Xin must be afraid to see her. How awkward was it to see each other?
So, she did not bother to ask anything.
Qi Xin had been quite peaceful for a while now, and since that was the case, she wouldn’t give her a sense of importance.
Qi Zhian also greeted her, “We have prepared a big gift for you!”
“A big gift?” Xia Xibei was surprised. “What big gift?”
“Just wait.” The two of them looked at each other. “You’ll know later.”
“Okay.”
After all, it was Xia Xibei’s first birthday in the Qi family. Of course it had to be grand.
Even if they couldn’t celebrate it with the outside world, the gift was certainly prepared.
The two of them had prepared this gift for a long time.
Qi Xin came back before the birthday party started.
After seeing Xia Xibei, her expression was a bit shy, and after saying h.e.l.lo, she went back to her seat.
One couldn’t imagine her previous arrogance seeing her introverted and gentle look.
