Chapter 52 Hug Me

police station." 。No, please. 。"Jiang Mingzhu not only didn't go down, but she turned around and pressed her buttocks against him, while also turning back to tell him, "The policemen in Beicheng can't...Ginger Mingzhu's voice was calm, but tears streamed silently down her face, as if she were exposing her most painful wounds to others.

Zhou Li's hand relaxed a little, and she continued, "You can call him now."

Zhou Li's hand moved to grip her shoulder, "I don't like people who speak lies."

"You just don't believe that I like you. From the beginning, you thought I had ulterior motives."

"Have you ever met Zhan Yu Bai before"

Jiang Mingzhu's sob suddenly stopped, her fingers stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

She stared at Zhou Li with tears in her eyes, bewildered. "What do you mean"

Zhouli: "Has she ever offended you before"

This dog's mind twists and turns pretty fast, he already thought of this.

Jiang Mingzhu nodded. Zhou Li's gaze became serious, ready to hear what inside information she had, but he heard her complain pitifully: "If it weren't for her, you would like me."

Zhou Li: …

For a moment, he couldn't tell if Jiang Mingzhu was serious or just making excuses to brush him off.

Ginger Mingzhu: "It was she who stole…from you... How could I not dislike her"

"That's all there is to it."

"What else"

He didn't question her "liking him" today, Ginger Mingzhu thought to herself, it wasn't for nothing that she had been putting so much effort into acting this part for the past while.

Zhou Li's anger had subsided quite a bit, and Jiang Mingzhu took the opportunity to lower her head and act submissive. She wrapped her hands around his waist and nestled her head in his arms.

A hundred percent of weakness and coquettish demeanor.

She sniffed, and asked him softly, "Can you buy me a birthday cake"

Zhou Li looked at her coldly, his voice still as indifferent as ever: "No."

"Please, big brother," said Jiang Mingzhu.

She gently scratched his chest with her hand.

Zhou Li felt like his heart was being stroked by soft feathers, an itchy and unbearable sensation. He grabbed her hand, pressing it directly against him.

Zhou Li: “Stop with that.”

Ginger Mingzhu: "I want to eat strawberry cake."

——

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

One hour later, Jiang Mingzhu was excitedly lighting candles inside the restaurant.

Zhou Li sat beside him, watching with cold eyes.

Jiang Mingzhu lit the candles and then started making a fuss again, "Brother hasn't wished me a happy birthday yet."

"It's not your birthday."

Ginger Mingzhu: "But it's my birthday, so just wish me well, okay~"

She finished speaking and was about to tug on his clothes again, like a child pouting for candy.

Zhou Li ducked back a bit, "Happy birthday, all done"

Jiang Mingzhu's eyes lit up, and she smiled with unusual joy. "This is the happiest birthday I've ever had."

Zhou Li for a moment couldn't tell if she was acting. Her tone was so sincere, her expression like a child who had just eaten candy, looking very lively. But because of his one blessing, she said it was the happiest birthday ever, which seemed a bit too exaggerated.

He was always a master strategist, but for the first time, he couldn't see through a woman.

Ginger Mingzhu sang herself Happy Birthday.

She sang with good pitch and a soft, delicate voice that was quite alluring. Zhou Li couldn't help but stare at her.

When Jiang Mingzhu finished singing, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and made a wish. Looking at her earnest expression, Zhou Li couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Ginger Mingzhu blew out the candle and then asked him, "What are you laughing at"

"How old are you, and still believe this"

"Brother, do you know what wish I made"

Zhouli: "Not interested."

Ginger Mingzhu held her face, looking at him devoutly, a pair of beautiful eyes shining: "My wish is that my brother will like me, even a little bit."

Zhou Li: "If you say your wishes out loud, they won't come true."

Ginger Mingzhu let out a "poof" of laughter. "How old are you, and still believe this"

Zhou Li: "..." He only then realized that he had been outwitted by Jiang Mingzhu.

With her goal achieved, Jiang Mingzhu flashed a cunning smile.

After laughing, Jiang Mingzhu received Fang Qin Yang's phone call, "Why haven't you come back yet We said we would celebrate your birthday together"

Ginger: "I'll be there later."

Fang Qin Yang: "Hmm"

Ginger Mingzhu: "Busy chasing after the man you like."

Fang Qin yang and Jiang Mingzhu understood each other perfectly. Upon hearing this, they knew she was with Zhou Li and didn't say much, "Then come back early, the cake is waiting for you."

Ginger Mingzhu: "Got it."

After hanging up the phone, Ginger Mingzhu explained to Zhou Li before he could ask, “It was my best friend’s call. I have to go back home after work for her birthday.”

"Aren't you leaving yet"

"Who says I'm a person who prioritizes beauty over friendship"

Ginger cut the cake for Zhou Li and gave herself a piece to start eating. She ate while praising, "Brother bought the delicious cake~"

She was eating with gusto, as if she were savoring some delicacy.

Zhou Li raised an eyebrow and looked. It was just a very ordinary fruit cake. Just now, she had been clinging to him, insisting on buying it. He casually ordered one from the takeaway app, which cost over six hundred yuan.

"Why aren't you moving Eat quickly, it's especially delicious." Jiang Mingzhu stopped and urged Zhou Li. There was still cream on the corner of her mouth.

Zhou Li: "Not interested."

Jiang Mingzhu went straight up to him and fed him, holding the fork she had used to her lips. "It's very sweet, try it."

"I said no..."

Before Zhou Li could finish speaking, Jiang Mingzhu used the same method she had used last time to feed him Da Fu, feeding the cake into his mouth.

Taste was quickly overwhelmed by sweetness, accompanied by the scent of strawberries.

"Was it delicious"

Zhou Li swallowed and then said, "Sweet and cloying."

"Sweet is the most delicious," Ginger Mingzhu said.

Zhouli: "Diabetes is waiting for you."

Jiang Mingzhu's voice suddenly became wistful, "When I was a child... I never had cake."

Zhou Li didn't doubt the truth of her words. There were many children in the orphanage, and resources were tight. No matter how good the orphanage was, it couldn't take care of every child.

Jiang Mingzhu fell into reminiscence, “Seeing people on TV celebrating birthdays with cake, I felt envious. When I was young, my biggest wish was to grow up quickly and then open a cake shop.”

Have you ever looked for your biological parents

Jiang Mingzhu said stubbornly, "They don't want me anymore, so I won't look for them."

Zhou Li:

Moreover, both my adoptive parents are very good to me, and I have them.

Zhou Li didn't respond, his expression a bit complex, as if he had some sympathy.

Calculated weakness is the best weapon; men inherently have a complex about saving fallen women. By exposing her wounds to him, she can at least evoke his sympathy.

After Ginger Mingzhu finished speaking, she covered her eyes with both hands.

After a few minutes, Zhou Li spoke, "Cried You're not very tough, are you"

Ginger Mingzhu: “I didn't cry.”

The Book of Rites states, "His mouth is hard."

For the first time, Ginger Mingzhu didn't retort with sharp words to Zhou Li. She kept her head down, and her shoulders were still trembling slightly.

Zhou Li: "No more cake"

Ginger Mingzhu suddenly stood up, took a step forward, and straddled Zhou Li's body, her two arms tightly wrapped around his neck.

In Zhou Li's habitual manner, he wanted to push her away, but he heard her softly pleading, "Can you give me a hug"essing her head against the wall.Jiang Mingzhu winced in pain, mentally cursing Zhou Li as a madman!Zhou Li coldly questioned her, "How about you Have you also tried the elevator with Zheng Lin"Ginger...
