It was probably because Nanxi’s mother had become physically weak after giving birth to her. Consequently, her body succumbed to illness, and out of concern for her, her father decided to stop at one child. No more, no matter what.
The night before Nanxi’s birthday, she kept wondering what kind of birthday gift Lu Yinchu would give her.
Although she didn’t care much, having a birthday meant she was another year older, which she didn’t ponder too much about.
But still, there was always a mysterious little expectation in her heart.
However, what disappointed her was that Lu Yinchu seemed to show no difference. He went to work after breakfast, and before leaving, he instructed Nanxi to wait for him at two in the afternoon!
Nanxi frowned. She did not care for birthday gifts, but at least a happy birthday was warranted! Sheesh!
But, during the rest of the day, many friends sent their well-wishes via Whatsapp and Twitter. Li Weihuan’s message was sent exactly at 8:15 AM, as Nanxi had told her that was approximately the time she was born.
A simple blessing: Happy Birthday, Nanxi!
Yang Su, Lan Qiqi, Liao Feifei, Zhang Mu, Bai Yuchuan, and others also sent messages and made phone calls, even sending gifts!
The old master only came to know about Nanxi’s birthday upon seeing the gifts and had Xia Zhen prepare a special meal at noon and bought a cake to properly celebrate in the evening!
Nanxi smiled and said, "Grandpa, it’s really not necessary!"
But what about your blessing, Lu Yinchu? You couldn’t have forgotten, could you?
After lunch, Nanxi returned to her room to rest, staring at the mobile phone on the nearby table, and the clock on the wall showed 1:15 PM. Lu Yinchu had told her he would wait for her at 2 PM!
Only forty-five minutes left!
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Nanxi was momentarily startled before she hurriedly jumped out of bed to grab it!
Her brows furrowed slightly because she didn’t recognize the number. Nanxi, driven by curiosity, answered the call—"Hello?"
Nanxi paused, it took her a moment to respond!
"Nanxi, it’s Baobao!"
"... Baobao?" Nanxi couldn’t believe it. She hadn’t expected Han Baobao to call her!
"Nanxi, happy birthday!"
"Ah, thank you, Baobao!"
"What’s there to thank for? We are friends, after all!" Baobao paused, asking her, "Nanxi... we are friends, right?"
"That’s great! Also, Nanxi, I’m currently abroad, and I’ve changed my phone number to this current one; make sure you save it!"
Nanxi was somewhat incredulous, "Baobao, you went abroad?"
"Yes, I came out with my parents temporarily! But I’ll be coming back!" Baobao paused before adding, "When I feel it’s time to return..."
Nanxi sensed something unusual in Baobao’s voice and hesitated before asking, "Baobao, what’s wrong?"
"Nothing! What could be wrong? It’s just that people are strange...sometimes they need to go through certain experiences to truly learn how to grow!"
"Hmm? Baobao, are you okay?"
"I’m perfectly fine. You wouldn’t believe how beautiful San Francisco is. Someday, you and Lu Yinchu should come here for a holiday, and if you don’t mind me being a third wheel, I could be your guide!"
"Why not..." Nanxi had never considered visiting San Francisco, but she found the idea quite appealing!
"That would be lovely!" Baobao sighed, "Nanxi, I’m really envious of you. I truly envy you for having someone like Lu Yinchu who loves you so much!"
"Heh, you will meet someone who loves you too!"
After hanging up the phone, Nanxi felt a myriad of emotions. Baobao had changed a lot, experiences make one grow, regardless of their nature, favorable or unfavorable, they are all forms of lessons.
In our ordinary lives, we can only, and must, cherish the moment!
At 2 PM, Lu Yinchu had not yet returned, but the gift he sent arrived beforehand, and it was indeed quite special!
All TV stations, online TV channels, and radio stations broadcasted a video news segment at exactly 2 PM on October 13th. The protagonist of the news was none other than the rarely seen in media KING Group CEO, the business legend of H city, Nanxi’s husband—Lu Yinchu!
