Chapter 453 Happy Birthday to 19-year-old Pei Jinwu!

May I?

Now that he's officially a full-fledged employee, he's got confidence and dares to ask her such a reckless question.

"What do you think?" Pei Jinwu asked instead of smiling.

“I’m telling you.”

Shang Shiyan choked for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and then laughed awkwardly: "I wouldn't dare to push my luck."

"Well, you're quite sensible."

Pei Jinwu raised her hand, stroked the man's chin, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "So you were sure I would marry you so early on?"

"It was originally uncertain."

Shang Shiyan held her hand in his palm, a smile playing on his lips. "Later, seeing that you liked my face and had money, I felt I still had a chance."

"..."

Pei Jinwu remained silent.

It makes her seem like some lustful and greedy woman.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

Women love money, but they acquire it in a proper way.

for example:

People come to you willingly, and so does wealth.

"I will do my best in the future."

Shang Shiyan leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on the girl's cheek: "Let's try to upgrade from boyfriend to husband as soon as possible."

"Then you should try your best."

Unconsciously, she wandered upstairs, and every decoration there struck a chord with Pei Jinwu.

When you're in a good mood, you speak pleasantly.

Just as Pei Jinwu was curious about the ornament, her eyes were suddenly covered.

"Shang Dynasty inkstone..."

Suddenly everything went black, and Pei Jinwu's nerves tensed up instantly.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

Shang Shiyan held her hand and said softly, "Let me show you something else."

Then.

Pei Jinwu was led to an unknown place by Shang Shiyan, as if he were blind.

"Count to one and you can take off your mask, three..."

"Smack—"

Pei Jinwu ignored his orders and, when the number three sounded, ripped off the gauze from her eyes.

It was still dark around us.

The birthday cake and candles that suddenly appeared before my eyes were particularly dazzling.

Happy 19th birthday, Wuwu!

Shang Shiyan held the cake, his eyes overflowing with doting affection, completely enveloping the girl.

Birthday?

Pei Jinwu paused for a few seconds before remembering that it was her birthday today.

"My birthday isn't actually today."

After a few seconds, Pei Jinwu finally found her voice, slightly hoarse and tinged with frustration: "It was the time when my grandfather adopted me."

She asked her older brother about her real birthday.

It's said to be next March.

Springtime, when flowers bloom.

"I know."

Shang Shiyan squatted in front of her, holding a cute cake in his hands. The candlelight on it flickered gently, illuminating the girl's beautiful face.

"It's alright." Shang Shiyan smiled slightly and said softly, "We'll celebrate two birthdays together from now on, after all—"

As he spoke, his gaze lingered on her face, and he said, word by word, "This is the birthday that Grandpa set; we can't forget it."

“Wuwu, from now on, I will celebrate this birthday with you in place of Grandpa every year.”

"..."

Hearing this, Pei Jinwu felt as if her heart had been struck hard.

There was a stinging sensation, but more than anything, there was a feeling of being moved.

"On such a joyous day, you are not allowed to shed tears."

Shang Shiyan gently pinched Pei Jinwu's nose, handed her the cake, and said as if coaxing a child, "Grandpa is waiting to eat our little Jinwu's birthday cake."

"yes."

Pei Jinwu stared at the cake, her eyes red, looking so fragile she seemed about to break: "Grandpa loves cake, but he's not well and can't eat too much sweetness, so I only give him a small piece each time. The old man gets quite angry and ignores me for days."

"I see."

Shang Shiyan listened quietly to her, his eyes full of tenderness: "Let him eat more this time, he will be very happy."

As he spoke.

Shang Shiyan took out his phone and showed the photos to Pei Jinwu.

He sent someone to deliver a cake to Old Master Shen's grave separately.

“Look, Grandpa ate before we did.”

Shang Shiyan curled his lips and said in a rather frivolous manner, "I was afraid he would be lonely, so I specially asked Feng Zhi to stay and eat with him."

"..."

Pei Jinwu glanced at Shang Shiyan casually, her earlier embarrassment now choked up.

Was he serious when he said that?

Let the wind stop at the cemetery and keep Grandpa company while he eats cake?

She remembers.

Feng Zhi said he was afraid of "ghosts".

Shouldn't this order be considered a work-related injury?

"Feng Zhi has been doing quite well lately."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Pei Jinwu slowly said, "Give him a bonus. I think he's about to cry."

"Touched."

Shang Shiyan sneered and replied lazily, "Having a cake with the old man will get you a house."

"..."

Pei Jinwu was speechless.

"Don't talk about him, blow out the candles first."

Hearing her concern for Feng Zhi, Shang Shiyan felt uneasy and immediately changed the subject.

"good."

Pei Jinwu nodded and blew out the candle in one breath.

"Happy birthday," Shang Shiyan said. "Now, it's time to open the presents."

The words fell.

Like opening a blind box, Shang Shiyan led Pei Jinwu to another room.

Colorful, beautifully wrapped gift boxes were piled on the ground.

Pei Jinwu glanced at them and estimated there were about eighteen.

Eighteen?

Is this to make up for her birthdays from the previous eighteen years?

"It's a guide I copied from the internet."

Pei Jinwu circled the gifts, then casually picked up the gift for her first birthday.

Open.

They are a very pretty and cute pair of toddler shoes.

"Um."

Shang Shiyan did not dare to deny it.

I did see it online, and it has many positive reviews.

One saying goes: Do this, and your girlfriend will be moved to tears.

Weeping bitterly?

Looking at the girl in front of me, who was opening her gift with great interest, without shedding a single tear.

Shang Shiyan frowned.

This trick won't work on his girlfriend.

Half an hour later.

Pei Jinwu finished unwrapping all the gifts and was so tired that she drank two glasses of water in one go.

Eighteen gifts.

The preparations were quite ingenious.

But--

Isn't today her nineteenth birthday?

"Let me show you something else."

Before she could react, Pei Jinwu had already been led by Shang Shiyan to the garden, which was not yet fully renovated.

A huge gift box was covered over the pond next to the garden.

It read: "Happy 19th birthday to Pei Jinwu!"

"..."

Pei Jinwu had never seen anything like this before. What kind of gifts could be in the bathtub?

"Open it yourself."

Shang Shiyan released the little girl's hand and said softly.

"..."

Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, her fingertip resting on the bow on the gift.

Then pull hard.

The blue gift box, like a flower, blooms from all sides.

Two adorable little turtles were floating in the clear, beautiful fishpond.

It's as big as the palm of my hand.

Startled, the two turtles thrashed about with all eight legs.

There was nothing else besides that.

"..."

Pei Jinwu was somewhat bewildered.

My 19th birthday present was two turtles?

Where did you get this "bad idea" from?

——

good evening.

Little Turtle: Mm, I'm useful, I'm not spoiled!
