Ye Wanwan had truly forgotten; she couldn’t remember when she last celebrated her birthday, as she was gravely ill at the time and spent her days in a confused stupor.
If it weren’t for Su Xiangyi mentioning it, she really wouldn’t have recalled this matter at all.
"So tomorrow, how about our two families get together to celebrate your birthday? What do you think?" Su Xiangyi asked again.
Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but bite her lower lip, feeling very helpless as she said, "I forgot my birthday is tomorrow. I’ve made plans with my colleagues to go to S City for a concert..."
Su Xiangyi was silent for a while, "I see."
"Yeah." Ye Wanwan was also very conflicted now, not sure what to do.
After all, Yu Qiqi had been looking forward to it for a long time, reserving hotels and searching for fun and tasty places, all to take her out so she wouldn’t get too bored.
Although Ye Wanwan didn’t say it outright, who was Su Xiangyi? Ye Wanwan was her own daughter; how could she not know what she meant now?
"Alright then, since you young people have planned it, go out and have a good time," Su Xiangyi didn’t overly interfere with her.
"Okay, I’ll be back the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and then I’ll have dinner with mom!" Ye Wanwan said coquettishly.
Hearing this, Su Xiangyi could only helplessly shake her head, "Alright, I’ll invite your father-in-law and mother-in-law then, and we’ll make up for your birthday."
"Okay, be careful when you go out," Su Xiangyi instructed.
"Mhm, I know," Ye Wanwan obediently agreed.
Perhaps because of the previous incident with Ye Mingrui kidnapping her, Shen Yi became particularly sensitive. Now, whenever she went out, Uncle Zhang would follow.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Wanwan put down her mobile and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
After her shower, she packed her luggage simply and efficiently. Once everything was prepared, Ye Wanwan didn’t stay up late reading novels or playing games, but instead went to bed diligently.
When Ye Wanwan awoke, she was still groggy but automatically reached for her phone to check the time, then to send Shen Yi a message.
"I’m awake." Too lazy to type, she held down the voice key and said languidly.
After sending the message, Ye Wanwan threw the phone aside, closed her eyes, and seemed about to fall asleep again.
The bedroom remained quiet for several minutes until Ye Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed her phone to check—it was still without a reply from Shen Yi.
Ye Wanwan’s brows furrowed slightly. What was Shen Yi doing? Why hadn’t he replied yet?
Still perplexed, Ye Wanwan sent another message to Shen Yi.
After sending the message, Ye Wanwan also climbed out of bed, stretched mightily, and knew it was time to get up and wash.
But after cleaning up, she still hadn’t received a message from Shen Yi.
Ye Wanwan looked at her phone screen, her brows slightly knitting together. What’s going on?
Ye Wanwan recalled that Shen Yi seemed particularly busy these days—when she woke up in the morning for a video call with him these past few days, he was always still busy working in his study.
When she awoke in the morning, it was usually after one o’clock in the morning for Shen Yi, and before, he was usually getting ready to rest at that time.
Thinking this, Ye Wanwan surmised that it was very likely Shen Yi had fallen asleep.
Ye Wanwan decided not to keep messaging Shen Yi. She tossed her phone aside and went to the vanity to apply her makeup meticulously.
