The CEO’s Birthday
Tang Keyi replied casually,
“For my grandmother.”
The manager was stunned.
He had assumed Tang Keyi wanted something cheap to fob off some unimportant person—
never did he expect it would be for the esteemed Madam Tang!
Has the Tang family gone bankrupt?
A mix of emotions flooded the manager,
but seeing Tang Keyi calmly browsing without a trace of embarrassment,
he couldn’t be sure.
“Which one do you think my grandma would like?”
Tang Keyi asked, turning to the manager.
How am I supposed to answer that?
Beads of sweat formed on the manager’s forehead as he forced out an awkward reply:
“I think… the thought matters most. Madam Tang dotes on you so much—she’d love anything you give her.”
The diplomatic answer aligned perfectly with Tang Keyi’s own thoughts.
Tang Keyi smiled, his gaze landing on a pair of earrings priced just over 10,000.
Their design? A tiny piece of candy.
His eyes lit up.
“These are adorable. Grandma will think of me the moment she sees them.”
The manager swiftly retrieved the earrings.
Though Madam Tang was elderly, she had the spirit of a mischievous child.
Tang Keyi was certain she’d love them.
But the price slightly exceeded his budget…
Footsteps approached from behind, but Tang Keyi paid no mind,
assuming it was just another customer.
“Any chance of a discount?” he ventured.
The manager’s eye twitched.
“Apologies, Young Master Tang. Our prices are fixed.”
Could Tang Keyi really not spare a few extra thousand now?
“Seriously, Tang Keyi? Haggling over 10,000 yuan? Did your family go broke or something?”
The voice—mocking and unmistakable—belonged to Li Mingxing.
Tang Keyi shot him an irritated glare.
“Frugality and hard work are the empire’s traditional virtues. Ever heard of them? Your mindset is so underdeveloped.”
Li Mingxing had been shopping nearby when he spotted Tang Keyi through the window.
Naturally, he couldn’t resist stirring trouble.
Clicking his tongue, Li Mingxing feigned amazement—
though he didn’t actually believe the Tangs were bankrupt.
If they were, rumors would’ve spread like wildfire.
Ignoring him, Tang Keyi doubled down on the manager.
“Aren’t I a member here? No member discounts? And after all my past purchases—no loyalty points? Can’t I redeem some of the cost?”
Li Mingxing’s jaw dropped.
Tang Keyi is resorting to points now?!
Though baffled by Tang Keyi’s sudden penny-pinching,
Li Mingxing felt an odd pang of sympathy.
Grudgingly, he offered,
“Enough. I’ll pay for the earrings.”
“Who asked you to?”
Tang Keyi snapped, then urged the manager,
“Just check my points already!”
The manager, unused to wealthy heirs scrimping over points,
hurriedly pulled up Tang Keyi’s account—which, unsurprisingly, was top-tier.
“Isn’t Singles’ Day coming up? No promotions?”
Tang Keyi pressed, leaving no bargaining stone unturned.
“Tang Keyi! Have you no shame? You’re a Tang!”
Li Mingxing hissed, so mortified he nearly clapped a hand over Tang Keyi’s mouth.
“What’s shameful about it? Since when can’t Tangs haggle?”
Tang Keyi shrugged.
Wiping his brow, the manager applied every possible discount before delivering the final price.
“Young Master Tang, this is the absolute lowest.”
Satisfied (and with nearly 1,000 yuan left from his paycheck),
Tang Keyi handed over his card with the flourish of someone splurging millions.
“Wrap them up.”
As the transaction processed, his phone rang—Han Qiuqiu.
“Keyi, which club did you book?”
“Was just about to tell you. Imperial Night, Room 803. See you later.”
“Tomorrow’s the weekend—we’re partying all night, right?”
“Obviously. Tonight’s my treat!”
Before Tang Keyi could hang up, Li Mingxing exploded:
“You pinch pennies over earrings but splurge on Imperial Night?! One night there costs ten times these earrings!”
Collecting his purchase, Tang Keyi smirked.
“My money, my rules. Got a problem?”
“You—! And here I was, offering to pay!”
Li Mingxing fumed.
“You were just messing with me!”
In too good a mood to argue, Tang Keyi even found Li Mingxing tolerable today.
“You barged in while I was shopping. Not my fault. Wanna join us tonight?”
Li Mingxing turned away with a huff.
“Don’t act all chummy. I’m not falling for it!”
“Suit yourself. Qiuqiu’s waiting.”
With a breezy wave, Tang Keyi strolled out.
“…At least ask twice if you’re inviting someone,”
Li Mingxing muttered at his retreating figure.
The next day,
Madam Tang was moved to tears upon receiving the gift,
clutching Tang Keyi’s hand while praising his thoughtfulness.
She promptly uploaded a nine-grid selfie spree on social media,
showcasing the earrings with the caption:
“Our Keyi has truly grown up—using his first paycheck to buy his grandma a gift. So precious.”
Then, she admired herself in the mirror, counting the likes rolling in.
At the company cafeteria, Tang Keyi was mid-bite when Qin Yilin plopped down beside him.
“What’d you get for Zhiyan today?”
“Get him what?”
Tang Keyi blinked.
Qin Yilin stared.
“…A birthday gift? Don’t tell me you didn’t know it’s his birthday?”
Today’s Qin Zhiyan’s birthday?!
Who memorizes that?
Wait, so he’s a Scorpio?
Explains the toxicity.
Whatever.
Not like I have to get him anything.
Qin Yilin squinted.
“You’re obsessed with him but didn’t know his birthday?”
Tang Keyi’s stomach dropped.
“O-of course I knew! I’ve had a gift ready for ages…”
“What is it? Show me.”
“No peeking! It’s a secret!”
A gift?
…Does air count?

"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief. He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance. His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise. Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.” Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver. The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo. His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now" Qin Mu yun advised. "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed. Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality. With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation. "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...

Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream. In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly. He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain. Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met. Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...

Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...
