Pei Yucheng put on an apron before he began to prepare the ingredients.
Initially, Lin Yan was slightly worried. She cast her worries aside when ‘she’ suddenly seemed to know how to cook.
That ability wasn’t just average.
In less than two hours, she had prepared six dishes and some soup. There was a variety of meat and vegetables, so it was a feast.
Lin Yan’s appetite was stimulated at the sight of the delicious feast.
This fellow had prepared everything on her behalf for Pei Yucheng’s birthday. She hadn’t lifted her finger at all. She had been spared the effort…
Lin Yan was admiring the feast as she chatted casually. “Sister, what other good ideas do you have other than preparing a meal?”
Pei Yucheng paused as he cut a piece of vegetable. “You don’t have to spend money, nor do you have to lift a finger.”
Lin Yan was curious as she eagerly asked, “What is it?”
Pei Yucheng replied, “It’s not suitable for you right now.”
Lin Yan retorted, “Huh? What do you mean? Why is it unsuitable? It doesn’t require money! Why doesn’t it suit me? It is perfectly suitable for me! What is it? Tell me now! Then I won’t have to make so much effort or spend so much money!”
Lin Yan was still rambling when darkness suddenly eclipsed. Her consciousness was ebbing away as she slipped off into the darkness…
…
When Lin Yan woke up once more, she realized that she had fallen asleep on the dining table.
She sprang to her feet swiftly and stretched.
She was finally back!
She hadn’t expected that ‘sister’ to leave after preparing everything!
Why wouldn’t she want to spend Pei Yucheng’s birthday with him?
In that case, she had taken advantage of her…
Lin Yan was famished, so her stomach grumbled at the sight of the food.
Just as she was picking up her chopsticks, she heard sounds coming from the front door. Familiar footsteps were heard shortly.
Pei Yucheng was back…
Lin Yan scuttled hastily to the door to welcome him.
“Mr. Pei, you’re back!” Lin Yan flashed him the sweetest, brightest smile she could.
Pei Yucheng glanced at the smiling girl. “Why are you back so early?”
For the past week, Lin Yan had either stayed with the racing team or come home only past midnight.
Lin Yan coughed softly and replied earnestly, “I naturally had to! It’s a very important day today! Mr. Pei, happy birthday!”
Pei Yucheng raised his eyebrows. “You remembered my birthday?”
“That goes without a question! How can I possibly forget such an important day?”
Lin Yan then ran to get an exquisite-looking box and presented it to Pei Yucheng. She said sweetly, “Mr. Pei, this is a present from me. I went to the mall and spent an entire afternoon choosing your present. I didn’t know if you would like this!”
Pei Yucheng took the ‘carefully chosen’ present from Lin Yan as he glanced at the logo. “Such an expensive present?”
Lin Yan inhaled deeply and suppressed the pain in her heart. She dismissed his question with a wave. “It’s not expensive! Not at all! This sum of money is nothing! Besides, how can anything be considered expensive when I’m getting a present for my boyfriend? Why am I working so hard to earn money? It’s because I wanted to give the best and most expensive present to the most beloved and important person in my life!”
As Lin Yan reeled off, her heart was crying…
This relationship would drive her bankrupt…
