The next day.
On the day of the birthday.
Gu Sang spent another morning meticulously memorizing the script, then arrived early at the reserved private room. After a while, Chen Yun and her boyfriend also came together.
Several other friends were present, and Gu Sang greeted each of them, then handed the carefully selected gift to Chen Yun: "Yun, happy birthday."
Chen Yun looked at the beautifully wrapped gift box, momentarily feeling too awkward to accept it.
She hurriedly said, "Sang Sang, your gift is too expensive."
This kind of gift box was unique packaging from designer stores, recognizable at a glance.
And the gift she had prepared.......
Gu Sang took Chen Yun's hand, pretending to be serious: "Friends shouldn't be so formal with each other, especially since what you did for me yesterday can't even be compared to this gift."
"You have no idea how much you helped me."
"Thank you, Sang Sang." Chen Yun smiled shyly, having no choice but to take the gift, feeling increasingly glad that she had helped Gu Sang.
Meanwhile, Chen Yun's boyfriend, seeing the logo on the box, stared wide-eyed.
Many internet celebrities wore watches from this brand, with prices starting in the tens of thousands.
Tsk.
Indeed, the young lady from a wealthy family.
Even a casual birthday gift was exorbitantly priced.
He thought about how he had gritted his teeth yesterday to buy an LV bag at the boutique, which had cost him a full 60,000 yuan!
The boyfriend was now very grateful that he had splurged on a designer bag yesterday, and a relatively expensive one at that. Otherwise, an ordinary gift would certainly have been looked down upon by a young lady from a prestigious family like Gu Sang.
"Yun, let me hold onto that for you. It's the thought that counts," Chen Yun's boyfriend said with a smile as he took the gift from Chen Yun.
Chen Yun nervously took out her own gift from her bag: "This is your birthday gift. It might seem a bit modest compared to your gift......"
Gu Sang graciously accepted the wrapped box.
She peeked inside to see a limited edition lipstick.
Though not expensive, its value lay in the hard-to-get color: "This limited edition color is really difficult to snag. You must have used 500g of hand speed to get it."
"I really love this shade. Thank you, Yun."
Seeing that Gu Sang didn't despise her inexpensive gift, Chen Yun's anxious heart finally settled, and she chatted easily with Gu Sang.
Chen Yun's boyfriend sat nearby with a smile, occasionally refilling their tea, playing the role of a good boyfriend.
After the meal.
Gu Sang said goodbye to Chen Yun and left first after paying the bill.
Lu Mufei had called in the morning to invite her to dinner tonight, saying it was to celebrate her birthday.
Dressed in a light green Chanel-style suit, Gu Sang stood by the roadside, her long black hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders. With her slender figure, at first glance, she looked like a young lady carefully cultivated by a wealthy family.
"Sang Sang......"
In the livestream room, Pei Changying stared at Gu Sang's face with deep eyes, his voice tender and yearning, as if calling out to a deeply beloved.
"Have you really become unable to return to my side?"
"These past few days, I ordered the great hall to be closed, and no one is allowed to enter Xuyang Palace. Even at the city gates, I've had soldiers stand guard, preventing citizens from approaching."
"I'm so afraid. Afraid that in your life in the future, more and more common people will see you, that you'll influence more and more women, that you'll move further and further away from me."
"Now it's better. In the entire capital, only I can see you."
"You are mine, you can only be mine!"
"My Sang Sang, I want to hold you so badly. Come back to my side......" Pei Changying stood behind the door, not even daring to stand in front of the screen.
He gazed at the woman on the screen with tender affection, that beautiful face that once belonged to him.
How could it be just one position!
Just one position as an imperial consort that he didn't give her!
And she left?!
She was clearly right before his eyes, yet there was a distance that Pei Changying could never touch or reach until his death. He could only watch helplessly as Gu Sang moved further and further away from him.
She stood under the streetlight.
Wearing light makeup.
Passing cars would suddenly slow down, and occasionally drivers would poke their heads out to look at Gu Sang as she passed by, their eyes filled with admiration and amazement.
At this moment.
Chen Yun's boyfriend ran out from the venue, then quickly walked to the trunk of his car, took out the LV bag he had bought yesterday through gritted teeth, and approached her.
He looked at Gu Sang with deep eyes and said, "Sang Sang, I wasn't sure what you'd like, but I thought all girls love designer bags, so I bought you an LV bag."
