Chapter 587 The Dog's Birthday

As night deepened and the hours passed into the early morning, the noises in the house gradually subsided.

Zhong Tingyue tilted her head and looked at Chu Fang with a smile: "You seem very happy?"

Chu Fang nodded: "Yes."

Why?

“Because… …” Chu Fang was about to say that it was his birthday today, but he quickly realized with extreme surprise: “You didn’t know?”

Zhong Tingyue pointed to his phone: "You just received another ten million from the bank."

"Is that money worth making me happy?"

"Hmm... ...I guess they'll be happy?"

Chu Fang shook his head: "No, guess again."

For him now, money is just a number, a number that keeps growing.

Earning ten million a day doesn't affect his emotions.

Zhong Tingyue guessed again: "Did you rank up in the game?"

"No," Chu Fang shook his head. "I'm still Silver!"

"I can't guess then." Zhong Tingyue narrowed her eyes slightly. "I don't want to guess. I want to sleep. Goodnight, Mr. Chu."

Click, click...

Chu Fang's heart shattered, shattering into pieces.

This woman doesn't even remember my birthday?!

... ...

The next day, Chu Fang woke up very early, or rather, he hardly slept at all throughout the night.

This woman doesn't even remember my birthday?

On what grounds?!

On the way to the studio, Chu Fang asked, "You really don't remember what day it is today?"

"Is today a special day?" Zhong Tingyue asked. "I really don't remember. Why don't you tell me, so we don't cause any trouble?"

Chu Fang opened his mouth, but ultimately gave up the idea of ​​telling him: "Nothing special."

Although it was his birthday today, he didn't want to tell Zhong Tingyue directly, as if it would seem like he cared too much.

Upon arriving at the studio, Chu Fang slumped over his desk, looking sullen and listless. He had even lost the mood to bicker with Jiang Wenzhen, as usual.

He glanced at his fiancée in the office, wondering to himself, "Did this woman really forget my birthday? Or is she deliberately trying to surprise me?"

Chu Fang spent the entire day pondering this serious question.

If it's a pleasant surprise, then he should act as if he doesn't know anything and appear nonchalant; but if it's truly forgotten, then Chu Fang's world has collapsed...

He fell into deep thought, seemingly realizing that the woman had genuinely forgotten her birthday, rather than being surprised.

The sky has fallen!

"Um... It's normal for Ms. Zhong to forget my birthday. Even old married couples forget each other's birthdays. It just shows that we have a good relationship." Chu Fang quickly convinced himself.

But at this moment, there is a very important matter before us.

Should we tell Zhong Tingyue that today is his birthday?

If he didn't say anything, he would appear nonchalant, neither losing face nor offending Zhong Tingyue. However, if he didn't say anything, he would be very unhappy inside.

My birthday was forgotten.

He was very conflicted.

What Chu Fang wanted for his birthday was for Zhong Tingyue to remember it without him saying anything and prepare a birthday gift for him.

That's how you show class.

Today's scene has exceeded his expectations.

Just then, someone called Chu Fang: "Hello."

"Hello Mr. Chu, we are from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Happy birthday..."

As a VIP customer of the bank, he receives greetings calls from the bank every year on his birthday and holidays, and is sent various small gifts.

Upon seeing Zhong Tingyue walk out of the office, Chu Fang raised his voice: "I'm Chu Fang. Whose birthday are you talking about?"

"Oh, I understand." After chatting with the bank employee for a few minutes, he hung up the phone.

Zhong Tingyue asked curiously from the side, "Whose birthday is it today?"

If someone were to interview Chu Fang about his feelings at this moment, he could only say: numb, completely numb...

I've hinted at it so much, and you still don't remember my birthday.

Chu Fang pouted and said, "It's the dog's birthday!"

... ...

On their way home from get off work, Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue walked side by side. The latter tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong with you today? You look so sullen?"

Chu Fang forced a stiff smile: "I'm very happy."

Zhong Tingyue: "Laughing as if she's crying."

They went to the market to buy groceries as usual, and then went home to cook.

Chu Fang was lying in bed, playing on his phone, when his mother sent him a message.

【A Little Fairy: Celebrating.JpG】

[A little fairy: Happy birthday, my darling! May you have many more birthdays to come! Your arrival is Mommy's greatest gift. Mommy will always love you.]

【A Little Fairy: ChuMiJpG】

[Solo player in a dating game: Thank you, Mom.]

[A little fairy: Sweetie, what's wrong? You seem unhappy? Did that nasty woman upset you? You wait, I'll go teach her a lesson.]

[Solo player focused on dating: No, just a little down.]

[A Little Fairy: Angry.JpG]

[A little fairy: I'm going to settle accounts with that bad guy!]

After much persuasion, Chu Fang managed to convince his mother, and the two chatted for a while before ending the call.

In Shudu, at Chu Fang's home.

Chu's mother sat cross-legged on the bed, hands on her hips: "That's too much! That wicked woman actually forgot my darling's birthday!"

"They didn't take Guai Guai seriously at all. I knew... my prediction was right. I knew she wasn't a good person just by looking at her..."

Chu's mother chattered on and on, while Chu's father remained silent. The mother asked, "Old Chu, say something!"

Chu's father patted Chu's mother on the back and said, "Forget it, forget it. A relationship doesn't need to be proven by birthdays."

"No matter how good your birthday is, it's all for nothing if you don't have feelings for it, and if you have feelings for it, your birthday doesn't matter."

Chu's mother said angrily, "Why do you always take that bad woman's side?"

"You've forgotten my birthday many times too."

“That, that’s different…” Upon hearing this, Chu’s mother stammered.

Chu's mother is a very easygoing person and doesn't remember many things. She has forgotten Chu's father's birthday many times.

Chu's mother tilted her head and thought for a moment: "No, I can't let that bad woman bully my darling. I'm going to Shanghai to find them. I'm going to teach Zhong Tingyue how to be a good daughter-in-law!"

Chu's father: "... ..."

It's quite humorous to hear that from a wife.

"Alright, alright, let them live their lives as they please."

... ...

Chu Fang practically timed it, watching the hands pass midnight until dawn.

"Ms. Zhong."

"What's wrong?" Zhong Tingyue glanced at Chu Fang subconsciously while looking at her book.

His face was full of resentment and grievance. If grievances had levels, he would definitely be at the highest level, unmatched by anyone.

Zhong Tingyue put down her book and asked, "Have you been like this all day? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call the hospital and take you for a checkup..."

She frantically searched for the phone number of a private hospital, while Chu Fang said, "Today is my birthday."

Zhong Tingyue was taken aback: "Isn't your birthday next month? I remember it clearly, your birthday is April 12th."

March 12th.

Zhong Tingyue flipped through her phone's calendar, which was filled with various important dates, including the day they first met and the day they officially became a couple...

Then he saw Chu Fang's birthday, March 12th.

She then realized that she had remembered it wrong.

Ah, this...
