189: Chapter 189 Bar Birthday Party

Cheng Mo felt very conflicted right now.

On one hand, he hoped his daughter could end up with Lin Yi.

After all, he truly recognized how outstanding Lin Yi was.

Furthermore, Cheng Hong had been single for so many years; it was rare for her to find a man she actually liked.

If she missed this chance, who knew when his daughter would date again.

However, at the thought that Cheng Hong and Lin Yi might have done something unspeakable last night,

Cheng Mo felt a bit awkward.

This was, after all, the daughter he had doted on since she was a child.

And now, just like that, she was... by Lin Yi.

Cheng Mo could not shake the feeling that his own cabbage had been trampled by a pig.

Xu Jinglan watched Cheng Mo's expression change ten times in a second and shook her head helplessly.

"Lin Yi slept on the floor last night."

"Sigh..."

In truth, Xu Jinglan did not want to just hand her daughter over like that either.

But to ensure Cheng Hong could lock Lin Yi down sooner, she had to resort to this desperate measure.

Yet to her surprise, even with that, Cheng Hong still failed to seize the opportunity.

Sigh...

At this rate, who knew when she would get to hold a grandchild.

Cheng Mo comforted her.

"Alright, let's stop worrying about them."

"This is actually good; it just goes to show that Lin Yi is a responsible and dependable man."

"I think very highly of him!"

Xu Jinglan curled her lips.

"What good does it do for you to think highly of him?"

"Do you not realize that times have changed since we were young?"

"Girls these days are very proactive."

"Believe me, with how outstanding Lin Yi is, he definitely has plenty of girls around him."

"What if one day Lin Yi cannot resist temptation and decides he does not want our Honghong anymore?"

Cheng Mo scratched the back of his head.

"That may be true."

"But I feel that the two of them..."

Before Cheng Mo could finish his sentence, Cheng Hong came downstairs.

"You two need to go back to Shanghai today!"

"Do not come to Nanjing to see me anymore!"

"If you miss me, I will come back to Shanghai to visit you."

Cheng Hong was both embarrassed and angry at her mother's actions.

Although she also wanted more alone time with Lin Yi,

using such methods to keep Lin Yi was not her style.

For the man she liked, she had her own ways to captivate him with her charm.

Seeing their daughter get angry, Cheng Mo and Xu Jinglan did not dare to say anything more.

They had no choice but to agree repeatedly.

After breakfast, Lin Yi bid farewell to them and went home.

Just as he reached his doorstep, he heard laughter coming from inside.

Pushing the door open, he saw that besides Ye Shuangshuang and Li Tong, the sisters Chen Yao and Chen Fei were also there.

It seemed the four of them often gathered to have breakfast together.

They were chatting and laughing, just like best friends.

"Brother Lin Yi, you are back!"

Chen Fei jumped up and pulled Lin Yi to sit at the dining table.

Lin Yi only then remembered that he had not paid attention to this petite, baby-faced beauty for a long time.

"What a special day it is today."

"Everyone is here."

Chen Yao served Lin Yi a bowl of porridge.

"Lin Yi, the company transfer process should be almost finished today."

"I brought Feifei over to celebrate with Shuangshuang and Li Tong."

"Celebrating that they are going to be big bosses too!"

Ye Shuangshuang and Li Tong felt a bit embarrassed.

"What big bosses..."

"We are just helping Lin Yi with some things..."

Chen Fei leaned in close to Lin Yi and whispered.

"Brother Lin Yi, do you know what other special day it is today?"

The little girl blinked her eyes, waiting for Lin Yi's answer.

The other three girls also looked at Lin Yi with anticipation upon hearing this.

It was as if Lin Yi was supposed to know the answer.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned.

A special day...

Could it be...

Whose birthday is it?

"System, help me check their birthdays!"

In the system's personal information section, there was an option for more details.

Clicking into it allowed one to see more specific personal information.

This included birthdays.

Very quickly, the system brought up their birthdays.

Lin Yi took a closer look, and it was indeed as he had guessed.

"Of course I know what day it is today."

"Isn't it your birthday today!"

After answering, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing the system was there.

Chen Fei looked into Lin Yi's eyes with surprise.

"Brother Lin Yi, how did you know today is my birthday!"

Lin Yi smiled.

"Of course I know!"

"Not only do I know today is your birthday, but I also specifically prepared a birthday party for you tonight!"

"You can invite your friends to come over and have fun too!"

This idea was, of course, a last-minute decision by Lin Yi.

It was Chen Fei's birthday; he had to show some gesture.

Just right, these girls around him had been busy with work lately and were all tired.

He might as well use this opportunity for everyone to relax.

"Wuwuwu, Brother Lin Yi..."

"I knew you were the best to me."

Chen Fei was overjoyed, and ignoring the others present, she hugged Lin Yi's arm and started acting coquettishly.

Feeling the soft touch of her chest against his arm, Lin Yi felt a tightening in his heart.

Because he smelled a hint of jealousy drifting over from Ye Shuangshuang and Li Tong.

However, out of consideration for Chen Fei's birthday, Ye Shuangshuang and Li Tong did not say anything.

They just gave Lin Yi a coquettish glare, warning him to behave himself.

After breakfast, Ye Shuangshuang and Li Tong went to Ziyun Building and Whale Live Streaming to get busy.

Chen Yao and Chen Fei also left.

They all agreed to meet in the evening.

After they left, Lin Yi sent a message to Cheng Hong.

He booked two private rooms at Cheng Hong's bar.

Cheng Hong's bar was very popular, and private rooms usually had to be booked in advance.

But when Lin Yi went there last time, Cheng Hong had given him a Black Gold Card.

There were four private rooms in the bar reserved specifically for Black Gold Card customers.

So, it was no problem at all for Lin Yi to book two rooms on short notice.

"You finally decided to patronize my business!"

"Who is so important that they could get you to treat them?"

Cheng Hong started gossiping.

Lin Yi explained honestly.

"A good friend, it is her birthday."

After seeing this, Cheng Hong quickly sent another message.

"Is it a good friend or a girlfriend?"

Seeing Cheng Hong's question, Lin Yi smiled.

He did not answer directly.

"Isn't my girlfriend you?"

"What is the matter? Did you reveal your true colors as soon as your parents left?"

The probes between adults are always subtle.

Cheng Hong realized Lin Yi did not want to answer her previous question directly, so she sensibly did not press further.

After exiting the chat with Cheng Hong, Lin Yi sent messages to the other girls.

He invited them to go to Cheng Hong's Starry Night Bar together in the evening.

Several of the girls agreed.

Lin Yi thought about it and also sent an invitation to Ning Yuxi.

Ning Yuxi had just been discharged from the hospital and did not have any friends around her.

It was a good opportunity for Ning Yuxi to make some friends her own age.

Moreover, most of them were students from Nanling University; getting to know each other would allow them to look out for one another at school.
