Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

While they were shopping, Li Yuan had already called the restaurant to arrange a simple birthday celebration. As long as one has money, such things are not a problem.

As Qi Siyu watched in anticipation, light and pleasant music suddenly began to play. A moment later, a group of young waitresses in festive birthday attire pushed a cart laden with a cake and a bounty of fresh flowers right in front of them.

Gazing at the exquisite cake, the abundance of flowers, and the cart’s splendid lights, Qi Siyu covered her mouth, her heart brimming with excitement. She had thought she wouldn’t get a birthday cake today, but Li Yuan had already prepared one in advance.

The waitresses carefully moved the cake and flowers to the table and began to sing in unison, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

From among the flowers, Li Yuan retrieved a beautifully wrapped gift box. He had bought it at a jewelry store he passed on his way to pick up Qi Siyu.

Li Yuan presented the gift box to Qi Siyu and said with a smile, "Siyu, happy birthday. May you remain forever young, always be smiling, and may all your wishes come true..."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Qi Siyu covered her mouth, her gaze fixed on the gift box Li Yuan was offering. She then looked up at him, her body trembling slightly with emotion.

Sitting beside Qi Siyu, Liang Jingjing couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy. Li Yuan truly lives up to his reputation as a charming playboy; he really knows how to make a girl happy. An unexpected surprise like this, appearing when you least expect it, provides a huge emotional boost... She had initially assumed Li Yuan wouldn’t have prepared anything, especially given the short notice.

Seeing her best friend in an excited daze, gazing dreamily at Li Yuan, Liang Jingjing discreetly nudged Qi Siyu’s slender waist with her elbow.

Qi Siyu snapped out of it, her eyes glittering with unshed tears. She looked at Li Yuan with the bashful expression of a young girl and thanked him.

"Li Yuan, thank you for the birthday gift. I love it."

Li Yuan grinned and teased, "Siyu, aren’t you going to open it to see what I got you?"

Qi Siyu murmured, "I’ll love anything you give me."

Despite her words, she still extended her delicate hands and untied the decorative ribbon on the box. When she lifted the lid, a sparkling diamond necklace came into view. Nestled on a bed of red silk, it shone like a cluster of stars from the heavens, so dazzling that Qi Siyu had to squint.

"Wow, a Tiffany diamond necklace! I just saw this online a few days ago. It’s stunningly beautiful! This model costs 109,999 yuan, right?" Liang Jingjing exclaimed. "Director Li, you’re so extravagant! You treat Siyu so well, I’m genuinely envious. If I were Siyu, I’d be so moved I’d promise myself to you on the spot. Director Li, are you sure you don’t want another girlfriend? I’m very well-behaved and obedient, you know!"

Li Yuan shot Liang Jingjing an approving glance. The handbag was a worthy investment; she was proving to be a useful wingwoman. As for her being his girlfriend? Forget it. She didn’t pass the looks test. He wasn’t Jingdong Liu, who was genuinely face-blind and couldn’t distinguish beauty from ugliness. His aesthetic taste had always been on point. What was beautiful was beautiful. He wouldn’t be moved by certain female celebrities he found unattractive, even if they were served to him on a silver platter.

What was that saying again? Ah, yes. It was just as that ’Miss Wishing’ said on Wangpo’s matchmaking show: ’I only want them young and beautiful!’

Qi Siyu’s gaze drifted from the exquisite necklace in the box back to Li Yuan. She looked at him timidly.

"Li Yuan, could you help me put it on?"

Li Yuan smiled. "Of course, no problem."

He stood up, took out the six-figure necklace, unfastened the clasp, and approached Qi Siyu. He stood before her, inhaling the enticing scent of her perfume as their bodies pressed close. They were so near that Li Yuan could feel her impressive Xiong Sisters pressing against his chest.

Just as Li Yuan fastened the clasp of the necklace, he suddenly felt a pair of arms, as white as jade, wrap around his neck. Before he could react, a pair of seductive red lips quickly pressed against his.

Mrs. Qi? Li Yuan was startled. He hadn’t expected Qi Siyu to be so bold as to kiss him in public. Her best friend was still sitting right there!

Just as Li Yuan was about to speak, he felt his mouth being blocked. A nimble, lively tongue forcefully pushed past his lips.

Well, since Qi Siyu, a university lecturer, didn’t seem to mind, what did a playboy like him have to care about?

He immediately wrapped his arms around Qi Siyu’s svelte waist, pulling her flush against his body. He shifted from passive to active, launching a powerful counterattack.

Liang Jingjing watched the scene unfold, clicking her tongue in amazement and whispering to herself, "What a pair of lovesick fools. They’re already kissing. I thought they would have at least waited until they were in private. Tsk, tsk. Look at how into it they are. If there were a bed here, they’d probably start an ’in-depth exchange’ right on the spot."

After musing for a few moments, an idea suddenly struck her. Liang Jingjing took out her phone and aimed it at the kissing couple.

CLICK! CLICK! She began snapping photos, capturing the moment forever.
