The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 764 - 220 I just know that I won’t love him anymore
Song Xi’s face inexplicably flushed red, the boy’s words struck her heart like sweet nothings, knocking at her door, one utterance at a time.
The boy in front of her didn’t possess an eye-catching status like Gu Linyuan, nor did he come from a family as wealthy as even the Song Family, yet for some inexplicable reason, when this boy confessed to her, she agreed to him almost without any hesitation.
This boy was unlike the other men, who were with her because she was the second young miss of the Song Family, nor was it because of her proud family background or her looks. He seemed to be with her simply because he liked her.
After Song Qiao settled her account and grabbed her things, she glanced back at Song Xi, who stood there smiling shyly. With a slight movement of her brows, she turned, scanning the kitchen before picking up a cake booklet, and casually pointed at one of them.
Song Xi and the boy browsed around the cake shop but didn’t find any particular cake they desperately wanted to try. Just as they were about to settle for anything, the girl who initially helped Song Qiao with the packing walked up to Song Xi, holding a beautifully packaged cake box, and with a radiant smile said, "Miss, this is the cake Miss Song asked me to make for you before she left, happy birthday!"
Song Xi stiffened, naturally aware of which girl the other was referring to; there was no one else but Song Qiao.
Her gaze fell on the delicate cake box held by the girl, and for a moment Song Xi was motionless and staring at the box in a daze, showing no reaction at all.
The boy was also surprised, and he could roughly guess the identity of the beautiful woman from the dialogue he had overheard between Song Xi and her.
Song Qiao, the eldest Miss of the Song Family, a woman who bore the title but was not favored, someone Song Xi always despised.
The boy’s expression subtly changed, unable to figure out what Song Qiao was actually trying to do. Watching the girl holding the cake box, torn between accepting it or not, he looked at Song Xi and said gently, "Xi, if you want it, let’s just take it. If not, we can buy another one."
Coming back to her senses, Song Xi looked at the elegantly packaged cake box with a mix of strange feelings inside her. Unable to quite understand these emotions, she bit her pink lip and took the box directly without saying anything to the girl. Instead, she turned to the boy beside her and said, "Let’s go, we’re heading back."
...
The moment Song Qiao stepped out of the cake shop, she got into her car, glancing sideways with an indifferent look at the cake shop, unable to see Song Xi inside. Her face was devoid of any extra emotional changes, maintaining an indifferent expression throughout. She said to the driver, "Let’s go."
"Yes, ma’am!" The driver immediately started the car and entered the traffic, slowly heading towards the hospital.
Song Qiao’s eyes fell on the cake box beside her hand, which contained several layers, wrapping a Black Forest cake and some of Ning Wan’s favorite treats, as well as a bag filled with the yogurt Ning Wan liked to drink.
Ever since she injured herself that one time, she had been recuperating at home without visiting Ning Wan. Ning Wan had not failed to call her, yet didn’t know about her injury, only that Lu Jingchen had been hurt, and assuming she was busy with work or taking care of Lu Jingchen and thus had no time to see her. Ning Wan merely complained that she had forgotten their friendship for love but didn’t say much else.
Song Qiao felt she had grounds for complaint, as she dared not visit Ning Wan or her grandfather in the hospital because of the injury on her back. It was usually Zhang Ma and Mu Shinian who would call and inform her grandfather about his condition and then tell them that she would visit in a few days.
She was afraid that if she went to the hospital, the perceptive Song Qiao and the sharp-eyed grandfather would discover the injury on her back, which would inevitably lead to a huge commotion.
The hospital where Ning Wan was staying wasn’t far away, and after about ten minutes, the car stopped at the hospital entrance. Song Qiao told the driver to wait for her for half an hour when she got out of the car, to which the driver agreed and drove to the parking lot to park.
