Today is her birthday?
Rong Yanâs mouth hung slightly open, her face filled with astonishment. It took her a long time to process this realization.
Damn, it actually is her birthday today!
However, it wasnât her fault that she had completely forgotten about her own birthday, mainly because from her childhood to adulthood, no one had ever held a so-called birthday party for her.
She had only seen Jiang Meiqi joyfully preparing birthday parties for Rong Weiwei, while she was always the one being overlooked.
Over time, she stopped making a point to remember when her own birthday was, since remembering it proved to be humiliating anyway.
Because besides her, no one remembered that day was her birthday.
âSo you brought me here to celebrate my birthday?â Rong Yanâs voice was hoarse, even she felt it stuttering heavily.
Beneath us lay the night view of the entire Capital City, and looking up, the sky was filled with stars, fireworks dazzling like colorful flowers constantly blooming. This place was too beautiful, so much so it seemed like a dream.
Her throat felt choked up with sweetness, surprise, sourness, and astonishment⊠a flood of emotions suddenly surged within her, and Rong Yan couldnât imagine what sort of expression she had on her face, it mustâve been quite comical.
But she really couldnât help but look at the man before her, overwhelmed by her own emotions.
Li Shengxiao restrained the impulse to pull her into his embrace, and as he adjusted the necklace between her collarbones, he said, âIâm your boyfriend, shouldnât I celebrate your birthday?â
Iâm your boyfriend, shouldnât I celebrate your birthday?
Rong Yan was speechless.
âDo you like it?â
He had never prepared a surprise for a woman before and didnât know what sheâd like. These were the surprises he had heard from Cui Jiangjing that women supposedly enjoyed the most.
But Rong Yan was never an ordinary woman, so he wasnât sure whether she would like it!
If she didnât like itâŠ
He hadnât thought about what to do if she didnât, when he heard the young womanâs crisp voice, âI like it!â
Encircling her arms around his neck, Rong Yan kissed his thin lips firmly twice, her bright eyes shining brighter than the stars above, âI like it! Extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely much!â
She used âextremelyâ five times in a row, as if she couldnât express how much she liked it otherwise.
âReally, Li Shengxiao. I really like it. Thank you.â She slightly lowered her eyelids, her long lashes part-shading her eyes, her mouth curving into a soft smile, she said calmly, âI never knew having a birthday could make someone feel so involuntarily happy. This is my first time celebrating my birthday, and Iâm very happy. Really, especially happy.â
Her first birthday celebration⊠These simple six words encapsulated twenty years of her lifeâs indifferent familial affection. Li Shengxiaoâs heart felt like it was being clenched by an invisible hand, his lips pressed tight, his eyes inch by inch growing darker, his voice husky, âThere will be a second time next year, a third time the year after that⊠There will be countless times in the future. I will clear this day specifically for you!â
He even planned to clear this day and make it a special one? Rong Yan felt awkward and, coming back to her senses from her emotional state, hastily said, âLi Shengxiao, thatâs not what I meant, you donât need to remember my birthday. I just mean that the birthday surprise you prepared for me today, I really like it, and Iâm touched. Nothing more meantâŠâ
His days are busy enough, her birthday wasnât such a big deal, and he didnât need to specifically make time for it.
Before she could finish speaking, her wrist was grasped, and the dignified man refused to accept her words of âno needâ and âunnecessary.â He pulled her towards the dining table, âLetâs go. Letâs eat first, otherwise itâs all going to get cold.â
