Chapter 36

The bright moon decorates your window.

You decorate the dreams of others.

…

That is simply the situation right now.

Chen Mo was looking at Xia Qingge, while Xia Qingge was looking at Xu Hao.

Chen Mo, who had just prepared to go over and build up favorability with Xia Qingge, froze, his expression turning as gloomy as water.

He clenched his fists tightly.

Dammit…

Clearly, I was the one who stood up and spoke for Xia Qingge first. Why is she thanking this guy?

He felt like he had done a good deed only to have his credit stolen by someone else…

It's this guy again. Why does he keep running into him?

Remembering the scene last time when the other man was holding the beautiful teacher, Chen Mo was so furious that he wanted to hit someone.

[Ding… Xia Qingge's heart rate accelerated, Emotion Points +555…]

[Ding… Chen Mo was filled with anger, Emotion Points +765…]

Xu Hao didn't even spare Chen Mo a glance, instead smiling and saying to Xia Qingge,

"Qingge, are you going home? Coincidentally, I'm heading back too. Let's go together…"

Xia Qingge lowered her head rapidly, responding with a somewhat flustered expression.

"Okay."

She couldn't help but curse herself inwardly.

That's your uncle, you know! How could you have this kind of feeling? It's too perverted.

Watching the back of Xia Qingge leaving with Xu Hao, Chen Mo froze in place like a clown…

…

Xu Hao brought Xia Qingge to the parking lot.

Normally, when commuting to and from the company, his secretary, Li Kun, always drove him.

Today, he decided to drive back himself.

As for Li Kun, he had been arranged by him to prepare a surprise…

Earlier, he heard that guy Liu Fei say today was Xia Qingge's birthday.

It was surprising that Xia Qingge actually liked roses.

Xu Hao had handed the heart-shaped rose bouquet he drew to Li Kun, having him arrange it together…

In the car—

While driving, Xu Hao asked,

"Qingge, if you go back now, is anyone home?"

Xia Qingge shook her head.

"My dad is busy with work and won't be home until very late…"

When she said this, her expression dimmed slightly.

Today was her birthday, and even that guy she loathed remembered it.

Yet her father had forgotten.

Although she understood her father because he was too busy with work…

She inevitably felt a sense of loss in her heart.

"Is that so? I happen to be going out to eat. Come with me…"

Hearing Xu Hao's words, Xia Qingge was slightly stunned and spoke with some hesitation.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? I'm alone anyway…"

Pausing for a moment, Xu Hao said half-jokingly,

"Could it be that Qingge is afraid I'll eat you up?"

Hearing this, Xia Qingge's face flushed red.

What does it mean to worry about him eating her up?

Uncle Xu really is something else.

Of course, she wouldn't think Xu Hao was making that kind of joke with her…

It simply meant being eaten by a monster; he deliberately said it to provoke her.

"Xu Hao: How do you know that wasn't what I meant?"

Afterwards, Xu Hao drove Xia Qingge to a famous Western restaurant…

There was no other reason for choosing this place; there were more couples here, and girls liked romance.

From this, it could also be seen that Xu Hao had impure motives.

He brought Xia Qingge to the reserved private room.

"Push the door open…"

Arriving at the entrance, Xu Hao didn't open the door to go in, but instead looked at Xia Qingge with a smile and said.

Xia Qingge was somewhat puzzled.

But she obediently opened the door anyway.

Bang, bang…

As if triggering a mechanism, celebratory salute cannons sounded one after another.

Caught off guard, Xia Qingge was startled.

Once the sound of the salutes faded, she steadied her mind, and after seeing the scene inside, she was dumbfounded.

The room was filled with balloons, and colorful lights flashed…

A five-tier cake slowly stood in the center of the room.

Next to it was placed an oversized bouquet of roses, which should be as many as 999 flowers.

She deduced this from the size of the bouquet Liu Fei had given her not long ago.

However, this bouquet of roses felt even more vibrant and dazzling than the one Liu Fei gave.

On the dining table to the side, it was filled with delicacies, and candles were lit all around…

A candlelight dinner.

The scene was simply too beautiful.

Xia Qingge was so shocked she almost cried out.

She quickly covered her mouth, her eyes wide with disbelief.

By the time her shock had subsided somewhat, Xu Hao's voice finally sounded.

"Qingge, happy birthday…"

In his past life, he had never been this romantic when picking up girls.

Could he still fail to handle an inexperienced little female lead?

Sure enough, Xia Qingge was moved to a mess.

Tears were spinning in her eye sockets, and her heart felt as if it had been pierced by an arrow…

"Uncle Xu, how did you know today is my birthday?"

"When cooperating with your dad before, I heard him mention it once…"

Xu Hao spouted nonsense with a straight face.

Hearing this, Xia Qingge was even more moved.

Her father didn't even know when he had mentioned it, but Uncle Xu remembered it clearly.

And he even prepared a surprise for her.

"Th-Thank you."

Aside from expressing gratitude, she couldn't say anything else.

"Go in and take a look…"

Xu Hao smiled and walked inside.

Seeing the 999 roses, Xu Hao deliberately frowned and said,
