Gu Yueji stared blankly at the white Mercedes, unsure how to react to Ren Jin. This was the greatest birthday gift she had ever received.

Seeing that she was standing still, Ren Jin pulled her to the driver's seat, opened the car door, and the car lights shone on a large bouquet of bright red roses on the seat. The fragrance of the flowers was overwhelming, and there was also a "Happy Birthday" sign and flashing lights that he had set up on the roof of the car.

Gu Yueji gripped Ren Jin's hand tightly, feeling a mix of sadness and warmth in her heart. "I thought you didn't remember."

Ren Jin responded by gently stroking the back of her hand with his thumb. "How could I forget my wife's birthday? Besides, didn't you treat me to cake a year ago?" He raised an eyebrow at her meaningfully, then leaned down and licked her ear. "I bought a cake and left it at home. We'll eat cake together tonight."

Gu Yueji felt a tingling sensation all over her body, but she gripped Ren Jin's hand even tighter.

He remembered; he remembered everything.

Staring at the car, she felt a mix of surprise and heartache. "Our house is still being renovated, and there are so many places where we have to spend money. Why did you spend money to buy a car?"

“I thought your birthday was coming up soon, and it’s inconvenient for you to be looking at houses and decorating every day without a car. So when I saw this car, I thought it would be suitable for you, so I bought it for you.”

"The car must be very expensive, right?"

Gu Yueji still felt sorry for her. Actually, if she wanted to buy something, she could just buy her a cheaper car for commuting.

Ren Jin, however, disagreed. "It seems I need to give you a proper rundown of how much money my family actually has, otherwise you'll keep thinking we're so poor. Our family is definitely much richer than you imagine. You can decorate however you want, and buying a car won't affect our renovation at all."

Because he had to deal with different people, Ren Jin opened bank accounts at every bank. He would send the account number of whichever bank was convenient for others to make payments. With so many accounts, it became chaotic, and he couldn't even remember how much money was on each one. In any case, the bank card he usually used for engineering projects had nearly eight figures in it, so buying her an E-Class Mercedes was not considered extravagant.

Seeing that she still looked distressed, Ren Jin said, "It's already bought, and you can't return it. Besides, this is the first birthday gift I've given my wife. So tell me, do you like it or not?" He held her shoulders and walked alongside her, looking at the two cars.

Gu Yueji knew nothing about cars, but judging from their appearance, the tall, shiny black Land Rover next to the small, creamy white Mercedes inexplicably reminded her of the two of them.

As she was thinking this, the person next to her whispered in her ear, "Don't you think these two cars look a lot like ours? The other day I saw a white Mercedes parked next to mine, and I don't know why I immediately thought of you, so I decided to buy it."

The strong, tall man pulled her completely into his arms. His imposing figure, capable of shielding her from the wind and rain, was accompanied by a gentle and doting smile. "You are my wife. Nothing I give you is too precious."

Gu Yueji looked up at him, touched, and stood on tiptoe to ask for a kiss. "Thank you, husband."

Thank you for your love and warmth.

And thank you even more for appearing in my life a year ago.
