Chapter 235: The grand surprise he prepared!

She thought Li Shengxiao would take her for a meal or a drink, but to her surprise, the lights outside kept receding, and they had already left the city center. Rong Yan felt uncertain.
It was late; what was he taking her to the outskirts for?
She wasn’t afraid that Li Shengxiao would sell her off. Firstly, she wasn’t worth much, and secondly, based on her looks, she resembled a human trafficker more than anyone else.
So her curiosity was purely about where their final destination would be.
After driving for an hour and a half, Rong Yan, who had only had a few bites of hot and sour noodles in the afternoon, felt her stomach cave in with hunger. The surroundings grew darker and didn’t seem to have any place that sold food, so she could only quietly touch her belly, praying it wouldn’t grumble in the car. That would be too embarrassing.
Finally, the car came to a stop.
Rong Yan sighed with relief.
“Mr. Li, Miss Rong, we have arrived,” Gu Ming said as he got out of the car first and opened the door for them.
This time Rong Yan was the first to get out…
As soon as she stepped out of the car, the fresh mountain breeze, laced with wafts of floral scents, was indescribably refreshing. Not far away, there was a path decorated with colorful lights that beckoned her. As she passed the tree that obscured her view, a wide clearing suddenly opened up before her—
It was a space several hundred meters wide atop the hill, set up with a dinner table, chairs, and a romantic candlelit dinner that one couldn’t even begin to imagine, complete with candles and fresh flowers.
Was this the place he said he would bring her to?
Rong Yan walked over.
Standing by the dinner table and looking down, the night view of Capital City was in full view. Neon lights meandered like ribbons, radiant and breathtakingly beautiful.
And when she looked up, the sky was littered with innumerable stars, and the gleaming starlight formed a galaxy so stunning that it took her breath away.
This place was more beautiful than the views from any upscale five-star restaurant. Its purity, its grandeur, its breathtaking scenery left her at a loss for words.
Rong Yan couldn’t help but turn around as the tall man approached.
She asked with barely contained excitement, “Li Shengxiao, how did you find this place?”
She too had grown up in Capital City but never knew there was such a beautiful spot. A place this gorgeous should have been famous long ago. Why hadn’t anyone discovered it?
She didn’t know that her radiant eyes were more beautiful than the stars in the sky – at least in the eyes of one person, she was the most breathtaking scenery here!
“This is Li Group’s leisure villa. I came across it by chance one day,” he explained.”…” Rong Yan suddenly understood why, despite being so suitable for romantic dates, this place had never been mentioned online.
It turned out the entire land was his private property!
With enough wealth to monopolize the whole starry sky, Rong Yan didn’t know what to say. She turned back, gazing up at the stars with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
“From here, it feels like I could just reach out and pluck the stars from the sky…”
Because not many people came here, the sky was so pure. The stars seemed to hang right before her eyes, as if she could reach out and pick them.
With such a beautiful sight, it was hard not to feel uplifted.
Just then, she felt something cool touch her collarbone.
Looking down, a uniquely designed necklace was placed around her neck.
“You’ve already picked it!” The necklace was made of meteorite, the stars she referred to. As fireworks shot up into the sky, Li Shengxiao looked at her with shimmering eyes, deeper than the vast expanse of stars, “Yanyan, happy birthday.”
