[✓](1)Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

41-42

Chapter 41: Identity Exposed

Knowing that today was also Gu Zheng’s birthday, Qiao Xi’s first thought was that it had nothing to do with her. Her second thought was that she should get him a birthday present as well. After all, she still had to rely on Gu Zheng to taste food.

At the thought of this, she took a taxi and went straight to the nearest internet cafe.

At the same time, Gu Zheng was sitting on the sofa in the apartment, looking at the gift Black Tide had given him with a frown.

There was a pair of silver cufflinks and a greeting card.

The card said, “Happy birthday.” The signature belonged to Black Tide. The handwriting was bold and unrestrained.

Gu Zheng put the card aside and picked up one side of the cufflinks. The silver cufflink had complicated patterns on it. When looked at carefully, it looked like a coiled five-clawed dragon. The dragon’s eyes were embedded with shining obsidians. After looking at it for a long time, the dragon seemed to come alive, making others feel as though they were flying in between clouds.

Gu Zheng massaged the space between his eyebrows.

The cufflinks were nice, but they were too showy. They were more suitable for young people in their 20s.

In the past, Black Tide would always send him an animation of a person waving their lightsticks according to the rhythm of the music. Why was it different this year? Could it be that she felt she had been asking him too many questions recently?

When he thought about this, he could not help but think of Qiao Xi. Black Tide had only asked him a few questions yet she knew how to give him a gift to express her gratitude, but what about Qiao Xi? She clearly still needed him to treat her illness that made whatever she eat bitter, yet she did not even say anything to him. Did she still want him to help treat her? He would let her taste only bitter things for the rest of her life!

Ding!

The notification sound of a new email pulled Gu Zheng out of his negative emotions. He casually clicked on it and saw two words. [Happy birthday!]

Immediately after, there was another line of words. [I wish you happiness every day. I wish you all the best!]

Gu Zheng sneered. He was just about to mock the person who had sent such an old-fashioned and dull blessing when he saw the signature below. “Qiao Xi.”

Gu Zheng, “…”

This blessing was actually quite good. It was simple and sincere.

However, Qiao Xi wanted to brush him off with just an email? Was he that easy to fool? Gu Zheng tried his best to ignore the corners of his mouth that were curled up. He continued reading the email and finally found a link at the bottom.

He clicked on it and the familiar birthday song played. In the middle of the screen was a colorful figure waving a light stick along to the rhythm of the music.

Looking at this familiar scene, Gu Zheng was stunned.

This… Did Black Tide not send him this every year? She said that it was exclusively made? Various emotions flashed across Gu Zheng’s eyes. He grabbed his car keys and returned to Longwan Residential without hesitation.

Back in Longwan Residential, Gu Zheng went straight to the third floor as soon as he entered. Qiao Xi’s tools were still placed in the corner. He looked through them one by one and finally found a stack of designs that had been modified countless times. This design was exactly the same as the cufflinks he received.
