"That really wasn’t a good time, why does this always happen in this school district?"
As the lights went out, the people in the living room were thrown into chaos, and various exclamations came from all around.
Ye Ning was also surprised. Seeing the surroundings suddenly go dark, she didn’t dare to move, afraid of an accident in this unfamiliar environment.
However, as she instinctively reached out her hand and failed to find the small figure beside her, a layer of cold sweat suddenly formed on her forehead...
Oh no, Xiaobao had gone to the restroom; now with the power out and in total darkness, what if he fell?
She became anxious, glanced at the spots in the living room that had some light, and wanted to find the child, but at that moment, just as the living room went pitch dark, a "click" was heard, followed by a strong beam of light from above, enveloping her completely!
What in the world had happened?
Startled, she reflexively raised her hand to shield her forehead and looked up at the source of the bright light.
It was a large spotlight, just like those used on stages, which when switched on, cast a circular beam of light that seemed to concentrate on her intentionally, making her the center of attention in the living room, indeed the entire villa, within a second.
"What... what on earth is the Qiao Family doing?"
"Yeah, why are they putting this girl in the spotlight with that light?"
The people nearby were also stunned by the scene and started to become restless.
It was at this time that the pleasant sound of a violin came to attention, and the crowd turned their heads to see that from the direction of the living room leading to the rooms, another beam of light appeared. After a moment bathing in that beam of light, everyone finally saw a seven-tier cake being rolled out, an exceptionally beautiful cake, decorated entirely with dazzling roses, and atop it, a candle shaped like a very rare rose.
A hole inside my heart.
And the rooms are getting smaller
Following the cake, the violinist played the familiar tune of "My Love", dressed in a red dress and moving with graceful steps, pulling the beautiful and lingering melody closer to the center.
It was truly a romantic sight that took one’s breath away.
Ye Ning suddenly felt a jolt, her eyes intently fixed on the man who emerged from behind the violinist.
"Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends and family, it’s a pleasure to have all of you here to share in a drink at my mother’s birthday celebration. I, Lin Yebai, would like to extend my thanks to everyone in advance," he said as he came into the light, standing under the candlelight and finally speaking into the microphone.
As his voice trailed off, there was still no sound around, perhaps they were waiting for what he would say next.
Everyone except Ye Ning...
"I think everyone is wondering why this scene has appeared at my mother’s birthday celebration tonight; it’s because I want to take this opportunity to apologize to someone!"
As he finished speaking, the spotlight that had been on him shifted back to Ye Ning.
It was then that people finally realized what was happening. A collective gasp rose from the crowd, and the next second, all eyes were focused on the girl illuminated by the spotlight.
