Chapter 201: Chapter 129: Hard Work Pays Off
Seeing the room full of beautiful women, all of whom belonged only to him.
Even though his waist was bright red from being pinched, Qi Sheng couldn’t help but feel a swell of satisfaction.
’If I brought all these beautiful women home for the holidays...’
’Mom would probably faint from the excitement, wouldn’t she?’
’Ahem, on second thought, maybe not.’
’Mom’s getting old. She can’t handle that kind of shock.’
’For the holidays this year, I’ll just bring Tan Hua home first. Give Mom a heads-up, so to speak.’
’Then later, I’ll find the right time to lay all my cards on the table with her.’
"Thank you, my beautiful ladies, for gracing my birthday party with your presence."
"Today, there’s only one goal: for everyone to have as much fun as possible."
"I’m your personal attendant for the day."
"Whatever you need, just say the word."
Qi Sheng knew Tan Hua and the others were harboring some resentment.
He decided to use this as an opportunity for them to vent their frustrations.
That way, their big family could live a good, harmonious life together in the future.
And what could be better than that?
"So you do have a conscience after all."
Tan Hua took Miduo and Xu Ying by the hand.
"Come on, let’s go play mahjong."
"Huahua, can we bring Yinyin along?"
Xu Ying asked cautiously.
"Of course! My skills aren’t that great, so Yinyin can help me with strategy."
Tan Hua’s attitude toward Pei Yinyin had long since shifted from hostile to friendly.
’It can’t be helped. The power of those three as a group was simply too immense.’
’Three drop-dead gorgeous girls, all just eighteen or nineteen.’
She knew without a doubt...
’...that her man would be absolutely smitten with them.’
Seeing Du Xinxin furtively pull Zong Rui aside made her heart clench with anxiety.
The busty young girl from before had already put her under immense pressure.
Add to that Zong Rui, a stunning beauty who completely outclassed the rest of them.
The threat level of these four as a group was leagues beyond Pei Yinyin’s.
The nine beauties split into two groups and took over two mahjong tables.
Qi Sheng, meanwhile, played the role of attendant, serving tea and pouring water.
He would occasionally sneak a touch, earning playful rebukes from his girlfriends, and he couldn’t have been happier.
At noon, Housekeeper Zou rolled in with a cake cart.
Followed by several hotel employees, he began singing "Happy Birthday" to the presidential villa’s distinguished guest.
The hotel employees saw the room full of beautiful women with Qi Sheng as the only man.
They all kept a calm facade, but inwardly, they were absolutely stunned.
"Happy Birthday to My Dearest Husband! From Your Loving Huahua!"
Tan Hua had prepared the birthday cake herself.
She had spent a long time learning how to make it for this occasion.
With the help of several pastry chefs, she had personally finished making the cake.
The cost of the ingredients and professional assistance alone was over a hundred thousand yuan.
Qi Sheng looked at the little cartoon figurines of himself and Tan Hua on the cake, touched by his girlfriend’s thoughtfulness.
"Thank you for the cake, Huahua. I’d like to make a wish."
"I wish that all of you will stay by my side forever."
"Until we grow old and can no longer walk."
"And then, we can watch over a house full of children and grandchildren, and live out our golden years in peace."
Hearing Qi Sheng’s simple yet heartfelt wish, the eyes of every woman in the room reddened with emotion.
Growing old with the one you love is the most blissful thing in the world.
And now, Qi Sheng had said it himself.
It was clear that he had real feelings for them and wasn’t just playing around.
Tan Hua: "Darling, I’ll always be by your side."
Du Xinxin: "I’ll always be with you too, as long as you don’t send me away."
Tao Siyao: "Dream on. For the rest of your life, you’d better be prepared to work like a dog for us."
Zong Rui: "You already conned me out of my heart and soul. What’s the use in saying all this now?"
Each of the women expressed her feelings for him in her own way.
Naturally, Qi Sheng didn’t neglect anyone, giving each of them a kiss in turn.
He even made sure to include the most anxious one, Xue Zhongyun.
Among all the women there, she felt the most insecure.
Even Xu Ying had been gifted a sprawling luxury apartment by Qi Sheng.
And she got fifty thousand a month in spending money.
But she... forget about an apartment, she didn’t even get an allowance.
If Miduo hadn’t invited her along, she wouldn’t have dared to come to a party like this.
She was afraid Qi Sheng would give her the cold shoulder, forcing her to leave in humiliation.
"Yunyun?"
Miduo, seeing Xue Zhongyun spacing out, waved a hand in front of her eyes.
"Oh, what’s up?"
Xue Zhongyun snapped out of it and looked at Miduo, a little confused.
"I got you a piece of cake. How does it taste?"
Miduo handed her a paper plate with a slice of cake on it, smiling.
It was topped with blueberries, strawberries, nuts, cherries, and Shine Muscat grapes.
You could find almost any fruit a girl might like in that cake.
"Wow, this is delicious!"
Xue Zhongyun wasn’t just trying to flatter Tan Hua; she was genuinely blown away by how good the cake tasted.
"If you like it, have some more. There might be more activities later."
Miduo knew what her friend was worried about and offered a comforting smile.
"He kissed you just now, too. That means you hold a place in his heart, so cheer up."
"Thank you, Duoduo. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even had the chance to come to this party."
Xue Zhongyun was filled with gratitude for Miduo once again.
’Having a best friend like her must be a blessing from a past life.’
"Don’t be so formal with me. We’re best friends."
Miduo smiled and waved it off, not taking any credit for it.
As far as she was concerned, she had just given Xue Zhongyun a little nudge in the right direction.
Whether or not she could win Qi Sheng’s affection was up to her own efforts.
After finishing the cake, the women went back to playing mahjong.
Seeing Xue Zhongyun looking bored as she watched the game from the sidelines, Qi Sheng beckoned her over.
"Darling."
Xue Zhongyun wasn’t sure what to call Qi Sheng.
’Calling him "Darling" felt a bit too intimate.’
’But calling him by his name would be too distant.’
’In the end, she decided it was best to just go with the flow.’
