Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day

Chapter 61: Birthday Gift

Yan Qiuchi asked: "Is it usually this troublesome to buy gifts?"

Fang Yun smiled and said: "There is a lot of meaning in giving gifts. It's necessary to choose the right one depending on the person. Gifts given to friends versus close friends in general should be different since your connection to them is different."

Yan Qiuchi: "What did you get your boyfriend for his birthday?"

What a straightforward question! Fang Yun could barely suppress her inner excitement. Boyfriend? What does this mean?! Oh my god! Am I dreaming?

She began to suspect the identity of who Yan Qiuchi was thinking of. She raised her head, cleared her throat, made her voice sound as calm as possible, and said: "We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday recently. I got him a watch."

Yan Qiuchi put a hand in his trouser pocket and nodded as he left.

"Boss!" Fang Yun called from behind.

Yan Qiuchi turned his head, showing her sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His tall figure made Fang Yun's heart jumped out of her throat when she looked at it: "Are you sure you don't need me to get it for you?"

Yan Qiuchi: "No. You can get off work early."

Fang Yun watched Yan Qiuchi leave the office. She caved to the excitement in her body and began stomping her feet. Her high heels made a few "click click click" noise. She immediately went online to confirm her suspicion. Sure enough, he was in his twenties and was an actor. If this wasn't him then it would be too much of a coincidence.

Fang Yun pondered whether she should tell her boss the meaning behind giving watches as a gift. She felt that he, who have never been in a relationship before, might not understand.

When Yan Qiuchi returned home, night had already fallen. Mrs. Yan and the household staff were sitting on the sofa admiring the beautiful pictures of Shen Jintai.

Mrs. Yan: "Qiuchi is back."

Yan Qiuchi acknowledge with a "Nn" and then heard Mrs. Yan ask him with a smile: "Xiao Jin is on the cover of Harper's Bazaar, did you know?"

Yan Qiuchi gave another "Nn" and said: "I know. "

"How did you know?" Mrs. Yan asked.

Yan Qiuchi smiled but didn't answer her. He went upstairs and returned to his room and found a Harper's Bazaar magazine on the table.

The theme of Harper's Bazaar's photo shoot for Shen Jintai was "Youthful Flower Language". Several photos were modest and fresh, matching the role of Li Xu. On the cover was Shen Jintai wearing half-ancient half-modern clothes. He had a rose in his hand. The picture was entirely black and white except for the golden sun and the pink rose.

Yan Qiuchi picked it up and stared at it for a prolong amount of time. He then set it back on the table. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He turned his head and said: "Come in."

Mrs. Yan came in and gave him a beaming smile: "I put that magazine there." Last time, during their dinner appointment, Mrs. Yan thought that her son had become tempted. It was obvious that his attitude towards Shen Jintai had changed remarkably. She had no doubts when she saw him check the temperature of Shen Jintai's teacup and refilled it. She had to do a double-take to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

Who knew that after so long, they had arrived at the starting point again.

"It's pretty good-looking." Yan Qiuchi said.

Mrs. Yan smiled and said: "This is a limited edition. As soon as it was announced on the official website, the website crashed. I couldn't get one at all. I had to buy these through second-hand channels. Are you free? If you are, accompany me to visit the crew."
