Chapter 457: Opening Gifts
As she spoke, Jian Ai deliberately looked at Yan Tian with disdain. “Don’t tell me you don’t know how to drink?”
When Yan Tian heard that, he couldn’t help but glare at her. “Who said that? I was just afraid that you girls wouldn’t be able to drink. I was just concerned about you.”
“You don’t have to worry!” Jian Ai smiled. “Don’t go down to the table after drinking a glass.”
“That’s not necessary!” Xia Qinghuan understood Yan Tian and immediately covered her mouth to speak up for him.
Yan Tian raised his eyebrows proudly.
They chatted and laughed for a while before Lin Yi finally arrived.
“Lin Yi, what’s wrong with you? You’re late for Jian Ai’s birthday!”
As soon as they met, Xia Qinghuan pretended to be dissatisfied and looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked around and saw that everyone had arrived. He was the last to arrive, so he quickly apologized to Jian Ai in embarrassment. “I’m sorry. The car got stuck on the road, so there was some delay. I didn’t think it would clear up in a short time, so I called a taxi here!”
“Is everyone okay?” Jian Ai quickly asked.
Lin Yi nodded. “It’s fine. It’s just that something happened in the downtown area and blocked the traffic!”
Si Yuehan was sitting on Jian Ai’s left, and everyone deliberately left the seat on her right to Lin Yi. Lin Yi didn’t back away. Anyway, everyone knew he liked Jian Ai, so he walked over and sat down.
After sitting down, Lin Yi looked around the restaurant and then at them. “I saw Jian Yiyi downstairs. She seemed to be eating with her father. There was also a boy. He should be her brother.”
“Huh?”
They frowned and looked around instinctively. This was the only top restaurant in the Huading Building. If Jian Yiyi came for a meal, she could only come here.
However, they didn’t see Jian Yiyi.
“The restaurant is so big, so we might not cross paths with her,” Gao Yang said indifferently.
Xia Qinghuan didn’t want Jian Yiyi to dampen their spirits. This was a beautiful moment where they had finally gathered together on Jian Ai’s birthday.
“Come, it’s the gift-giving segment!” Xia Qinghuan put her hands together and revealed an impatient expression. Her gaze landed on Lin Yi beside Jian Ai. “Lin Yi, you’re the finale. Guan Tao first!”
Guan Tao, who was sitting beside Lin Yi, blushed and blinked in embarrassment.
Everyone present was from a rich family. Even though she had become good friends with them and Guan Tao did not feel as inferior as before, she was still a little afraid at such a moment.
Moreover, her gift…
Seeing Guan Tao’s submissive appearance, Xia Qinghuan couldn’t help but say, “Hurry Guan Tao. We’re waiting to see!”
Everyone’s gaze landed on Guan Tao, making her feel like someone had pushed her to the front.
After a while, she slowly took out the enormous box from under the chair. The box was a big red hard cardboard box. There was no obvious brand logo on it, only a colorful ribbon knot.
“Xiao Ai, happy birthday!”
Guan Tao said softly and handed the gift box that was almost as big as her upper body to Jian Ai.
Jian Ai thanked her and gladly received it.
“Hurry and look!” Xia Qinghuan had been curious about what was in such a big box from the moment she saw it. She could not help but ask anxiously.
“Open it and see if you like it!” Guan Tao let Jian Ai open it.
Jian Ai untied the ribbon knot and slowly opened the lid.
