The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 762 - 219: Even at the Cake Shop, You Can Meet Song Xi_3
Song Qiao nodded with a smile, seated herself into the car directly, but when she bent over to get inside, she felt as if a flash of light swept by. She frowned and looked towards the direction, yet saw nothing.
At noon, Song Qiao returned to the villa to have a meal with Lu Jingchen. The man did not say much, only eagerly served her food, all her favorites spread across the table. Song Qiao did not overthink, simply eating. Due to time constraints, she did not stay long after eating, and had the driver take her back to the company.
Since An Ke and Qin Zhe were both away filming, the company, due to her leave, had sent an assistant to accompany them, who would only return in a couple of days.
Regarding the company’s focus on nurturing both of them, Song Qiao thought about it, and still decided to wait for their return to inform them, as it wasn’t very suitable to discuss it over the phone.
...
After finishing work in the afternoon, she was still picked up by the driver. The people coming out from the company saw Song Qiao getting into the luxury car, naturally, there was quite a bit of discussion. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Song Qiao did not overthink, nor minded what they said.
Her marriage was set for the fifteenth of next month, her identity was sure to be revealed then, and that would be the real time to address these matters.
Passing by a cake shop, Song Qiao directly asked the driver to stop, "Wait for me here for a bit, I’m going inside to buy something."
The driver nodded hurriedly, "Yes, ma’am."
This was the largest cake shop in An City, the cakes were very delicious. When Song Qiao was still in university, she used to pass by during her part-time job; back then, she didn’t have much money and couldn’t afford to buy cakes.
Later, when she was employed and had money, she would often come here with Ning Wan to buy and eat cakes.
She had already called Lu Jingchen, telling him she would first visit Ning Wan in the hospital before returning to the villa. Lu Jingchen was aware of her relationship with Ning Wan and didn’t comment much, only urging her to return earlier.
The cake shop still had the same owner, only a few staff members had changed. The girl who often greeted them and gave discounts was still there. Seeing Song Qiao, her eyes lit up and she stepped forward, "Miss Song, long time no see, what cake would you like today?"
Song Qiao was momentarily stunned at seeing her, then smiled and replied, "Same as usual, and add a Black Forest cake to go."
"Sure, please wait a moment." The girl smiled and turned to prepare.
The layout of the cake shop hadn’t changed much, but it looked much more luxurious than before. The window display was filled with various cake samples and some pastries.
Song Qiao wasn’t particularly fond of sweets, but she found it pleasant to eat something sweet occasionally. Eating sweets when in a bad mood could improve her spirits.
Compared to her, Ning Wan was even more fond of sweets. Moreover, her figure was such that she could eat without gaining weight, so she had no reservations usually.
Soft instrumental music played in the cake shop. Song Qiao stood in front of a display window, her gaze landing on a beautifully delicate cake.
"Song Xi, what flavor cake do you want to eat? Today is your birthday, I’ll buy one for you." The door of the cake shop opened, followed by footsteps, including the sound of high heels on the floor.
"Any flavor is fine," a slightly muffled voice responded.
The voice was very familiar. Song Qiao stiffened instantly, almost reflexively looking towards the entrance, and there she saw Song Xi walking in with a young man.
Song Xi was wearing a short-sleeved, knee-length dress, embroidered with dark green leaves, looking very pretty, yet her face had no smile, clearly in a bad mood.
Today was... Song Xi’s birthday?
Song Qiao could hardly remember Song Xi’s birthdays exactly, but she recalled that ever since Song Xi returned to the Song Family, whenever it was Song Xi’s birthday, whether it was her so-called grandmother or her so-called father, they would always buy a big cake and even invite some of Song Xi’s friends over for her birthday celebration, more festive than anyone else’s.
On the other hand, Song Qiao’s own birthdays seemed to be forgotten by everyone; aside from Ning Wan, nobody else seemed to remember, and her family certainly didn’t celebrate it.
At that time, Song Qiao was quite envious of Song Xi.
