Han Yan kindly handed the microphone to Han Zhiqing, his eyes filled with doting affection, showing none of the anger he had displayed that day, when he had forced his daughter to accept the engagement.

Standing alone in the hall, Ye Lin's eyes burned with desire. Just a little while longer, just a little while, and this beautiful girl would be his.

Han Zhiqing took the microphone, nodded slightly to Han Yan, and then looked towards the hall.

She looked around slowly, and saw many familiar faces, all with smiles on their faces, seemingly offering their blessings. She also saw Luo Chen.

Her gaze stopped, and she looked intently at him.

Luo Chen met her gaze, smiled, and nodded slightly.

Looking at Luo Chen's smile, her already fair face became even paler. She thought of the happy times she spent playing with Luo Chen and the others that day, and she also thought of the first time she tried wearing a cat-eared girl outfit and making that kind of sound in front of Luo Chen.

Meow~

She remembered clearly Luo Chen's embarrassed yet happy expression.

But……

That kind of happiness will never come again.

Today's birthday party is a crossroads that will determine the course of her life.

She doesn't like Ye Lin, and she won't like Ye Lin.

The person she always loved was the little boy who gave her color when she was most helpless.

Her mother's death left her with deep remorse, and the threats from her father made it impossible for her to disobey.

Perhaps this will be the last time I look at him so directly.

Han Zhiqing smiled sadly, like a withered flower petal.

Ignoring everyone else, she looked intently at Luo Chen and said softly, "Thank you for coming to my birthday party. I've always had a wish; could you give it to me as a birthday present?"

Han Zhiqing's words stunned many people. Putting aside the initial politeness, why did she have to name names? What was she trying to do?

Moreover, although they knew that Han Zhiqing had a good relationship with the eldest son of the Luo family, they had never heard of it being this good.

Nobody knows exactly what happened.

He could only look at the two of them with a strange gaze.

Upon hearing Han Zhiqing's words, Han Yan's amiable expression vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy stare at Han Zhiqing.

Today's events are very important to him, and he cannot allow any mistakes. Just last night, he repeatedly told Han Zhiqing not to do anything out of line and to follow his instructions carefully. Otherwise, her mother's urn would not need to stay there.

I thought this trick would work on Han Zhiqing, and that she wouldn't act recklessly at today's birthday banquet. But her first words were completely unexpected. She specifically asked Luo Chen for a gift. What's going on here?

Han Yan wanted to reprimand her, but with so many people around, he couldn't lash out. He could only keep a close eye on Han Zhiqing, wary of any unforeseen events.

Ye Lin's gaze towards Han Zhiqing was already burning with desire. Such a woman was an absolute beauty, and the thought that she would soon be his made him impatient.

Unexpectedly, Han Zhiqing's gaze remained fixed on Luo Chen, and she even said such a thing.

This undoubtedly made him very unhappy.

The way he stared at Luo Chen could kill.

It wasn't enough for him to just covet one woman; now he even wants Han Zhiqing.

Luo Chen's life has truly come to an end.

Once Raphael brings down the Luo family, Luo Chen's death will come.

Just wait, I'll make you wish you were dead. You dare to covet even my woman? Don't you know how many eyes Lord Horse has?

However, Luo Chen certainly didn't expect that Han Yan would announce his engagement to Han Zhiqing in a moment. At that time, when Han Yan held Han Zhiqing's hand in front of Luo Chen, Luo Chen wondered what kind of expression he would have.

Thinking of this, Ye Lin smiled, looking forward to what was about to happen.

“Okay, whatever kind of birthday present you want, I’ll give it to you if I can,” Luo Chen replied.

Hearing Luo Chen's answer, Han Zhiqing's eyes lit up, and her complexion regained some color. She said, "I want to hear you sing a song."

The video of Luo Chen singing that day has already been posted online. His handsome face and heavenly voice have caused the number of views to skyrocket.

Han Zhiqing naturally saw it too.

She also wondered if Luo Chen could sing her a song.

She took this opportunity to express her wish.

"Song?"

Luo Chen was confused. He was wondering what kind of birthday present Han Zhiqing would want, but he didn't expect it to be a song.

Having already received the system reward of [Music Master], he naturally became familiar with many songs very quickly.

Since Han Zhiqing wants him to sing, what should he sing?

The others found this wish strange; did she want Luo Chen to sing her a birthday song?

The birthday song is simple, but isn't it a necessary part of the process?

When we cut the cake later, not only will they sing along, but surely the eldest son of the Luo family won't sing a song?

So, this isn't really a case of being wronged; she probably just wanted to hear Luo Chen's blessing alone.

Han Zhiqing looked at Luo Chen expectantly. Since Luo Chen had already agreed, she wouldn't have any problem with singing a birthday song.

Because this was a blessing given to her by Luo Chen alone, it was incredibly precious.

If it were any other song, Luo Chen probably wouldn't have chosen it.

On this day, all Luo Chen has to sing is a birthday song.

But the song doesn't matter; as long as Luo Chen is willing to sing it for her, she'll be content.

The emcee glanced at Han Yan, who frowned but didn't say anything. It was just singing a song; it wasn't a big deal. Since it was her wish, they might as well grant it. It wouldn't cause any trouble anyway.

What songs can Luo Chen sing?

After much deliberation, I guess the only option left is a birthday song.

Han Yan nodded to the master of ceremonies, giving permission.

Upon receiving the reply, the emcee quickly took the microphone and walked up to Luo Chen, while another beam of light shone on him.

Luo Chen took the microphone, and all eyes fell on him. He coughed a few times to clear his throat and said, "Since this is Zhiqing's wish, then I'll make a fool of myself here. Don't blame me if I don't sing well."

Everyone clapped and looked on with anticipation. Even if Luo Chen's singing wasn't good, how could they dare to blame him? Besides, it was just a birthday song.

It's not difficult at all; even a child can sing it.

So, I didn't think there was any problem.

Luo Chen spoke to the butler in a low voice, so no one could hear him clearly.

Only the butler gave Luo Chen a strange look.

The housekeeper didn't ask any questions and went to make arrangements with a bit of a headache.

Luo Chen stood in the center of the hall, becoming the focus of attention under the lights.

He looked at Han Zhiqing and smiled, "Zhiqing, happy birthday. Since you want to sing a song as a birthday present, then I'll sing this song for you."

"Is the music ready?"

"Party time!"

"Music!"

"Today is a good day, all my wishes will come true..."
