Xia Ruochen suppressed the nausea in his heart and ran downstairs quickly.

Looking at the smiling faces of the people on both sides of the dining table, she suddenly felt the urge to rush out. She really couldn't stay in this place for a minute.

There is literally no one in this room who doesn't make her feel sick to her stomach, including the sanctimonious Xiang Yiwei, the hypocritical and ruthless Xia Zhiheng, the unruly and domineering Cheng Yujing, the pretentious Su Qiwen, and the sweet-tongued Su Xiaoman. What makes her most distressed is the affectionate look on her face.

Cheng Yufan, who is dirty behind the scenes...

Her steps were a little wobbly, and she looked numbly at the laughter and laughter at the long dining table, and then started to walk towards the door.

"Beauty, why are you going?" Sharp-eyed Xiao Jie ran over and grabbed her, "Come, sit next to me. We are the only outsiders in this room full of people. We need to take care of each other."

"You brat, when did I ever treat you like an outsider? What a heartless thing!" Cheng Wei smiled, "If your parents hadn't gone on vacation abroad, I would have brought them here to hear what you said today.

, you must let them take care of you."

"Hey, sir, don't worry about the large amount. Do you think I was wrong?" Xiao Jie scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"That's pretty much it!"

While he was talking, Xia Ruochen had already been pulled to his seat. At this time, Su Xiaoman also came down from upstairs and went straight to the seat next to Xia Ruochen.

"Xiao Man, please sit next to Yu Fan." Cheng Wei said.

"No, I'm next to Sister Xia. I like Sister Xia the most." Su Xiaoman raised a sweet smile, and Xia Ruochen looked at her blankly, with mixed feelings in her heart.

This is her sister...This is actually her sister...

Cheng Yufan looked at Xia Ruochen's uneasy expression and felt a little strange. He thought she was unnatural because of nervousness, so he didn't think much about it. Anyway, the showdown would put her at ease immediately.

"Okay, let's get started." Cheng Wei clapped his hands, the lights in the hall dimmed, and a servant pushed a cart up. On the huge four-layer cake, the first layer was in the shape of a red heart, with a red heart inserted in the center.

A red candle was placed, and 9 small colorful candles were inserted on each of the three bottom floors, just forming a circle. The twinkling candlelight danced to a cheerful rhythm amidst everyone's birthday songs and applause, and the room was full of people.

The festive atmosphere made Xia Ruochen feel even more desolate.

She really shouldn't have come tonight. With this group of unrelated men and women, what kind of fun did she create for that unrelated man...

"Yu Fan, this is the first time I celebrate your birthday like this. I really want to thank Xiao Man. She has been making arrangements to give you a surprise. You should thank her properly." Cheng Wei looked at Cheng Yufan with a smile.

"Grandpa, this is what I should do. From now on, we will have such a lively birthday for everyone in our family." Su Xiaoman smiled sweetly.

Cheng Yufan glanced at her and said lightly, "It's a pity that I never like the excitement."

The restaurant was quiet for a moment. Everyone looked at each other at his untimely indifference, but he looked at Cheng Wei nonchalantly, "While everyone is here today, I have something to announce. I..."

"Cheng Yufan!" A soft, slightly weak, but extremely firm voice sounded from the other end of the dining table, interrupting what he had not finished.

It's Xia Ruochen.

She stood up slowly, ignoring everyone's probing eyes, and looked at him quietly, "I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now. I wish you a happy birthday, and I wish everyone a good night."

Cheng Yufan frowned and looked at her. What was going on? She clearly knew what she was about to say, so how could she suddenly interrupt her? Did she have any worries that she didn't have time to tell herself? She reminded her in this way.

Do you want to slow down their plans?

No matter what her plan was, he decided to listen to her opinion. Following her opinion, he couldn't bear to make her sad for anything anymore.

He immediately said, "Okay, then I'll drive to see you off." He stood up and walked in her direction. Cheng Wei slapped the table, "How dare you! Stop!"

This roar startled everyone, but Cheng Yufan just paused and quickly continued moving forward without stopping.

Someone quickly turned on the lights again. In the bright hall, Cheng Wei's expression looked even more gloomy. Cheng Yujing quickly took his hand and said softly, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Today is my brother's birthday.

It was originally a happy thing, so don't make your mood bad because of that woman."

At this time, Cheng Yufan had already stood next to Xia Ruochen. Looking at her slightly pale face, he surprised everyone and gently took her hand.

When his big hand held her hand, Xia Ruochen had already stubbornly thrown it away at the same time, but regardless of her resistance, he grabbed her hand again and still held her tightly firmly.

Her hands were cold and she was still trembling slightly, which made him more determined to protect her. No matter what happened, no matter what consequences he had to bear, he would not hesitate. He just couldn't let her suffer any more alone.

Wronged.

Su Qiwen looked at him in disbelief, then turned to look at Cheng Wei, "Uncle Cheng, this..."

Cheng Wei was already furious. He gently pushed Cheng Yujing away and shouted sternly, "What are you going to do?"

Before he could speak, Su Xiaoman had already stood up. She looked at Cheng Yufan and Xia Ruochen with a smile, "Brother Yufan, Sister Xia, maybe it's time for everyone to know about the relationship between the three of us. In this way, Sister Xia

From now on, you can go in and out of Chengyuan openly and become a part of our family."

"Xiao Man, what are you talking about?" Su Qiwen looked at her in surprise.

No matter how stupid you are, you can see the unusual relationship between Cheng Yufan and Xia Ruochen. Everyone present looked at Su Xiaoman. Could it be that she had known about it for a long time? In those eyes, some were distressed, some were shocked, some were angry, and some were angry.

Some of them look on with indifference and even take pleasure in others' misfortune.

Su Xiaoman did not answer Su Qiwen's words, but still smiled slightly, picked up an exquisite gift box from the table, slowly opened it, then raised her head, "Brother Yu Fan, today is your birthday, I will give you two birthday gifts."

The first gift is this necklace, which Sister Xia and I picked out together, you will definitely like it."

Looking at Cheng Yufan's stern face, she added, "The second gift is right here."

She gently touched her belly, looked at him with soft eyes, and said softly, "Brother Yu Fan, we have a child. This is what you have been waiting for for a long time. Didn't you always tell me that you want me to give it to you as soon as possible?"

Give birth to a son? I believe this is the best birthday gift I can give you."

Xia Ruochen's body trembled, and her hands shook even more violently. She tried hard to pull her hand away, but Cheng Yufan tightened it a little more. Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Wei's majestic voice rang out first, "I

No matter what you and Secretary Xia are doing, let me tell you two things now. First, Secretary Xia will be officially fired from Shiwei starting today, and second, your wedding with Xiao Man will be moved forward to next week."
