Chapter 94 – That guy hadn’t even appeared in person in the novel, so she really couldn’t take him seriously (3)
Li Jing had also inadvertently found out that today was Song Tingshen’s birthday a while ago and had started preparing for it several days ago.
Like all girls that were harboring secret crushes, Li Jing was both expectant and apprehensive. She wanted to prepare a special gift for Song Tingshen, but she didn’t know what to buy. And, it was still too far from winter, so knitting a scarf wouldn’t be a good idea either. She had spent a long time looking for ideas on Weibo, but she felt that the lists of gift ideas posted by other people weren’t suitable.
After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to bake him a cake.
She had already thought it through. Song Tingshen really was deliberately keeping her at a distance from himself. He treated her like any other employee at the company. Despite that, there was still a connection between them. It would be fine as long as she told him that she had found out his birthday from her older brother. Based on her understanding of Song Tingshen, he definitely wouldn’t ask her older brother about it to check.
If it was any other day, he might refuse her cake. In that case, what about today?
Even if it was just giving her older brother face, he probably wouldn’t refuse her present.
Li Jing didn’t have the extravagant hope that she could celebrate Song Tingshen’s birthday with him. She merely wanted to do something for him to let him know there was someone that truly cared about him by his side.
Worried that Song Tingshen would take off early today, Li Jing put her cake inside a box at 5 PM. Worried that her coworkers might gossip if they see the cake box, she put the cake box inside another box. Before standing up, she took out her makeup mirror and lip gloss and quietly fixed up her makeup.
As she was doing this, a strange thought suddenly popped up in her mind. Did Mrs. Song know that it was Song Tingshen’s birthday today?
She probably wouldn’t know.

At the same time, Ruan Xia and Little Wang, who were holding hands, walked into the elevator. This was the first time that Ruan Xia came here. The original owner had once worked at Song Corporation, so Ruan Xia had her memories to guide her.
Song Tingshen truly could be considered a legend. At a young age and without any background supporters, he had been able to build up to such a large company. It was no wonder that his alma mater had invited him to give a speech.
When Ruan Xia carefully thought about it, the only deviation in his life plans was probably from the original owner trapping him into marriage?
The elevator doors opened. Although the female employee at the front desk didn’t recognize Ruan Xia, she remembered Little Wang very well. She was somewhat surprised. She wasn’t sure who the woman holding Little Wang’s hand was. Could this incredibly beautiful woman be the rumored Mrs. Song?
Ruan Xia had been an office worker and knew that visitors had to check in before requesting to see the CEO. Bringing Little Wang with her, she approached the front desk and warmly asked the receptionist, “Hello, I’m here to see your CEO. Has he notified you of my visit in advance?”
Little Wang recognized the receptionist too. The front desk blocked his views so he expended a great deal of effort to jump up and waved at the receptionist. “Big Sister Susan, this is my mom! We’re here to see my dad!”
Although Susan had already guessed that the mystery woman was probably Mrs. Song, her face still showed surprise when she heard Little Wang’s introduction. Realizing that her reaction was impolite, she quickly picked up the phone and dialed Assistant Chen’s office extension. While doing this, she said to Ruan Xia, “Mrs. Song, please wait here. I’m calling Assistant Chen to have him escort you.”
However, Little Wang said, “No need. Mom, I know the way. I’ll take you there.”
Ruan Xia ruffled his little head and apologetically smiled at the receptionist. “Let’s have the big sister call ahead first. Dad is working right now. We wouldn’t want to bother him.”
