CHAPTER 372: CHAPTER 372: I LOVE YOU (146)

"Sister Tian Jiao, happy birthday." Shang Zhen smiled and handed over her gift.

"Thank you."

"And me too." Jian Shu also handed over a gift.

Antonio patted Long Tianjiao’s head, "Kiddo, happy birthday and have a blast."

"Ah, you hit me on the head for my birthday!"

"Hope you grow up slower."

"..."

"Sister Tian Jiao, I’m a fan of Liang He, can I ask him for an autograph?" Shang Zhen asked excitedly.

"Go ahead, isn’t he just sitting over there?" Long Tianjiao indicated with her eyes.

"Okay." Shang Zhen walked over and softly said, "Liang He, I’m your fan, could you sign this for me?"

Liang He nodded, took the pen and paper from her, and signed his name.

"I’m from the same company as Sister Tian Jiao, and I’m also in the new drama."

Liang He nodded, "Which role are you playing?"

"Female number four."

"Good, have fun tonight."

Shang Zhen nodded, took the autograph, and left.

Long Tianjiao received many gifts, but two people didn’t bring gifts; Long Yubei and Shen Congmo both gave red envelopes. Shen Congmo’s red envelope contained twenty thousand dollars, and Long Yubei directly stuffed a check for one hundred thousand dollars into his envelope.

As for Liang He, he had yet to present his gift.

But Long Tianjiao wasn’t in a hurry.

Knowing that he had come with her brother and Shen Congmo, and seeing that others had brought red envelopes while he didn’t, she knew he definitely prepared a birthday gift.

"Hey hey, quiet down." Guangzi, holding a microphone, stood there and said to Long Tianjiao, "Today is Tian Jiao’s 21st birthday. As a good buddy of Tian Jiao’s, I have a few words to say to her. Since Tian Jiao decided to enter the entertainment circle, she almost cut ties with all of us friends and stopped hanging out to wander, busying herself with acting classes every day. Knowing her as we do, we always thought she couldn’t last more than a few days, but unexpectedly, she persisted for so long. We can’t help but see her in a new light. Tian Jiao might seem carefree and brash, but her heart is also fragile and tender. We hope that Tian Jiao will always be as happy as she is now, and that she finds a good husband to live a happy life, better than all of us. Happy birthday, Tian Jiao, we’ll always be great friends."

Long Tianjiao walked over and hugged him, "Thank you."

Letting go of Guangzi, she took the microphone, "I’ve received everyone’s well-wishes. Alright, no more moving speeches, please. Today, I just hope everyone eats, drinks, and has a great time. No going home sober!"

The crowd cheered, taking the atmosphere to a climax.

Gu Lili was sitting there, drinking beer, when she felt someone held her left hand. Turning her head to look at the culprit, Long Yubei was reaching out to her from behind Antonio.

She tried to pull back, but he tightly held on without letting go.

Their eyes met, sparks flying.

Gu Lili simply let it be, turning her head back to ignore him.

But the warmth and tickling sensation in the palm of her hand made it impossible for her to ignore his presence.

After more than half an hour like this, sensing his grip loosen a bit, she pulled her hand away forcefully.

Then she glared at him fiercely. Seeing her look, Long Yubei’s eyes twinkled with laughter as he winked at her.

Gu Lili immediately turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Tonight, Long Tianjiao really had a blast, getting drunk halfway through the party.
