“Young Master Feng, did Miss Tang not come with you today?”
“Young Master Feng, is Miss Tang not coming this afternoon?”
“Young Master Feng, why have we not seen Miss Tang for such a long time?”
“I kind of miss the coffee Miss Tang brewed. Young Master Feng, when will Miss Tang have time to come over?”
Faced with his colleagues’ questions, Feng Yu felt like he was about to suffocate. Almost every day when he walked into the company, countless eyes would be fixed on him, all asking about Tang Guo and when she would come.
These past few days, he had truly been in agony.
He shut himself inside his office and stared blankly at the empty coffee cup beside him.
He lifted his head and looked toward the spot where she used to sit. The pain in his chest made it hard to breathe. He annoyedly patted his head, trying to force himself to immerse in work.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. “Young Master Feng, someone is looking for you. It seems they are here to deliver something. It looks like staff from a cake shop. That cake shop seems quite famous.”
“Oh right, I remember Young Master Feng’s birthday is coming up. Could it be something Miss Tang prepared for you?”
“I think it is today.”
Feng Yu’s entire body stiffened. He immediately stood up and rushed out.
“May I ask if you are Mr. Feng Yu?” Because in addition to the expensive cake, there was also a very valuable watch inside, the shop manager decided to personally come with two male staff members to deliver it.
Feng Yu stiffly nodded. The hand in his pocket clenched tightly, his lips moved. “Yes, it is me.”
“Mr. Feng, happy birthday to you.” The cake shop manager and staff sang a birthday song for Feng Yu, then handed the small, exquisite cake to him. “This is the cake Miss Tang ordered for you.”
“And this is the birthday gift Miss Tang prepared for you. Mr. Feng, if there are no issues, please sign here to confirm receipt.”
Feng Yu stared at the cake and the watch in a daze. His mind exploded into blankness, and he did not know what to say at all.
“Mr. Feng? Are you too happy? You probably did not expect Miss Tang to prepare such a surprise for you.”
Feng Yu came back to his senses, hurriedly signed, said thank you, and carried the cake and watch box back to his office. He even forgot to thank the colleagues around him who were wishing him a happy birthday.
“Young Master Feng must be overjoyed.”
“Of course. Miss Tang is so wonderful and even prepared a gift specially for him. How could he not be happy?”
“I really envy Young Master Feng. His girlfriend has a good family background, is beautiful, and so considerate and gentle. If I had a girlfriend like that, I would be willing to cherish her in my hands for a lifetime.”
The moment Feng Yu walked into the office and heard that sentence, he gripped the items in his hands tightly, his eyes burning.
When he opened the cake and saw the line of small words written clearly on it, he completely broke down. Two streams of hot tears burst from his eyes, and his heart ached unbearably.
“Liking you is more passionate than liking games.”
Feng Yu could no longer endure the emotions he had suppressed deep inside. He covered his face with both hands and said nothing, yet tears poured down like a river, completely unstoppable.
“Look at how painful he is.”
The computer was on, so Tang Guo could naturally see Feng Yu’s reaction. The more pain Feng Yu felt, the happier she smiled.
“This is what happens when you bring it upon yourself and insist on ruining yourself.”
System: I do not even want to comment.
“Xiao Guo’s cake is really delicious.”
Watching Feng Yu cry while taking small bites, as if reluctant to finish the cake, the system sighed inwardly. Damn it. The host is truly a bewitching little demon. Whoever provokes her is bound to be unlucky. But Feng Yu also deserves it.
“I really cannot bear to eat it all at once, so I will put it in the refrigerator and eat one bite every day.”
“From now on, I will wear the watch Xiao Guo gave me.”
“Xiao Guo, I will find you.”
