Today is her birthday?
Rong Yan’s 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 wasn’t 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.
“So you brought me here to celebrate my birthday?” Rong Yan’s 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 couldn’t imagine what sort of expression she had on her face, it must’ve been quite comical.
But she really couldn’t 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, “I’m your boyfriend, shouldn’t I celebrate your birthday?”
I’m your boyfriend, shouldn’t I celebrate your birthday?
Rong Yan was speechless.
He had never prepared a surprise for a woman before and didn’t know what she’d 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 wasn’t sure whether she would like it!
If she didn’t like it…
He hadn’t thought about what to do if she didn’t, when he heard the young woman’s crisp voice, “I like it!”
Encircling her arms around his neck, Rong Yan kissed his thin lips firmly twice, her bright eyes shining brighter than the stars above, “I like it! Extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely much!”
She used ‘extremely’ five times in a row, as if she couldn’t express how much she liked it otherwise.
“Really, Li Shengxiao. I really like it. Thank you.” She slightly lowered her eyelids, her long lashes part-shading her eyes, her mouth curving into a soft smile, she said calmly, “I never knew having a birthday could make someone feel so involuntarily happy. This is my first time celebrating my birthday, and I’m very happy. Really, especially happy.”
Her first birthday celebration… These simple six words encapsulated twenty years of her life’s indifferent familial affection. Li Shengxiao’s 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, “There 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!”
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, “Li Shengxiao, that’s not what I meant, you don’t need to remember my birthday. I just mean that the birthday surprise you prepared for me today, I really like it, and I’m touched. Nothing more meant…”
His days are busy enough, her birthday wasn’t such a big deal, and he didn’t 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 ‘no need’ and ‘unnecessary.’ He pulled her towards the dining table, “Let’s go. Let’s eat first, otherwise it’s all going to get cold.”
