Lu Jinghuai was silent for a moment, looking a little depressed. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "When can we have a daughter?"
This time Lin Yan was silent. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Lu Jinghuai had already changed the subject.
"But there's no rush. We can spend some time together as just the two of us. Last time you said you were at a disadvantage for getting married without dating. Wouldn't it be even more of a disadvantage if you had a child without dating?"
Lu Jinghuai brought the matter to a close with just one simple sentence.
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a sense of inexplicable loss.
…
Lin Yan's birthday was only remembered after Uncle Chen reminded her. Her birthday is next week.
Coincidentally, she and the original owner have the same birthday and similar fate, so there is a reason why she traveled through time.
Lin Yan was lost in thought when Uncle Chen asked, "Madam, do you have any plans for that day? Do you need to entertain any friends?"
Lin Yan also came back to her senses and shook her head. It was just a birthday, it wasn't that big of a deal. She couldn't remember her birthday at all before, and when she did, she would just go out for a bowl of noodles.
However, since Uncle Chen asked this, if she said that she didn't need to prepare anything, Uncle Chen probably wouldn't agree.
"Just cook a few more dishes and have a good time with your family."
As soon as Lin Yan finished speaking, Lu Jinghuai's footsteps were heard from behind, leaving Uncle Chen no time to finish his words.
"Uncle Chen, I will arrange everything that day. There is no need to prepare at home." Lu Jinghuai said.
Uncle Chen's face was filled with satisfaction, as his young master had finally gotten the idea.
Lin Yan looked at Lu Jinghuai but didn't stop him. It was nothing unusual for her husband to take her out to play on her birthday once a year.
Moreover, Lin Yan did not inquire about Lu Jinghuai's plans, keeping it a surprise.
On the other side, Lu Jinghuai breathed a sigh of relief and looked away when he saw that Lin Yan didn't ask anything.
Lin Yan's birthday came in a blink of an eye. It happened to be the weekend last Saturday, so Lin Yan still had to go to work at the company.
Lin Yan got up on time to wash and take care of her skin, but the bathroom door was opened. Lu Jinghuai stood by the door frame and watched her wash and dress. Lin Yan was no longer surprised by his gaze.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Jinghuai also spoke at this time: "I asked for a day off for you today."
"Why do you want to ask for leave?" Lin Yan paused and turned to look over.
"Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
"Ah?" Lin Yan hesitated for a moment before realizing that today was her birthday. She then felt a little helpless yet sweet.
"Who would take a day off just to celebrate their birthday?"
"The two of us." Lu Jinghuai answered calmly. It's his own company, and he didn't do anything wrong. What's wrong with taking a leave occasionally?
"I've arranged for a stylist to style your hair. She'll be here soon."
Lin Yan didn't expect that Lu Jinghuai would make such a grand celebration for just his birthday. She was a little happy. Although she felt it was a bit exaggerated, it didn't dampen his enthusiasm.
When she went downstairs, Lu Yingqian had already gotten up. The first time she saw Lin Yan, she curved her eyes and congratulated her: "Sister-in-law, happy birthday."
After breakfast, the stylist arranged by Lu Jinghuai arrived on time and brought several custom-made dresses. Since they were not for a banquet, they were not formal dresses, but they were more formal than ordinary dresses.
After changing into the skirt, the stylist helped with makeup and styling. Lu Jinghuai handed the set of jewelry he had prepared to the stylist.
A set of diamond jewelry.
"Is this my birthday present today?" Lin Yan asked the man behind her while looking at him in the mirror.
"No." Lu Jinghuai was also very honest: "I have prepared another gift and will give it to you later."
It took more than two hours to create this look, and Lin Yan was even yawning out of boredom.
It really looked good after it was done. Lin Yan almost couldn't recognize herself in the mirror.
However, Lin Yan was indeed satisfied and felt better. She turned around and asked Lu Jinghuai.
"Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Lu Jinghuai was not vague. He looked at Lin Yan with tenderness in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was not lying.
There is no woman who doesn't like to hear such praise. Lin Yan felt happy in her heart and her eyes curved.
At around eleven o'clock, the car was arranged outside and Lu Jinghuai took Lin Yan out.
"Qianqian isn't going with us?"
Lin Yan felt that today was her birthday, and it would be most appropriate for the family to have a meal together. She felt bad leaving Lu Yingqian alone at home.
Before Lu Jinghuai could speak, Lu Yingqian quickly waved her hands. She was not that tactless.
"Sister-in-law, you and brother can go to your own world. I won't disturb you."
Lu Yingqian refused, and Lin Yan was helpless. But Lu Jinghuai said, "We'll have lunch together at noon, and then bring Qianqian along in the evening."
Lu Yingqian on the sofa also nodded quickly, and Lin Yan didn't say anything more.
At noon, Lu Jinghuai booked a table at a private restaurant. The owner seemed to know Lu Jinghuai and came over to say hello when he knew he was coming.
However, the boss was also very tactful. After learning that Lu Jinghuai was celebrating his wife's birthday, he left without disturbing him.
After lunch, Lu Jinghuai drove Lin Yan to the next destination.
"Where are we going?" Lin Yan got up early today and had just finished lunch, so she felt a little sleepy at this time.
This is not the way back, it is getting more and more remote.
Lu Jinghuai was quite tight-lipped. He didn't reveal anything at this moment. Instead, he said, "If you feel sleepy, take a nap. I'll be there soon."
Lin Yan didn't respond in a pretentious manner. She yawned, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a daze.
The car continued to drive. It was unknown how much time had passed, but when Lin Yan woke up again, the car had stopped.
Lin Yan rubbed her eyes in a daze. The environment outside the car window was unfamiliar. It was obviously not the city.
"Where are we?" Lin Yan was still a little sleepy, and her voice was a little soft.
Lu Jinghuai handed her a bottle of mineral water and considerately loosened the screw before handing it to her. Lin Yan took it and drank a few sips before she became a little more sober.
"It's a farm of the Lu family. It's quite far from the city, so I haven't brought you here before."
So you brought her here today specifically to celebrate your birthday at the manor?
Lin Yan was a little curious, but didn't ask too much. She sensed a sense of "surprise".
Seeing that Lin Yan was somewhat sober, Lu Jinghuai got out of the car to help Lin Yan open the door, and Lin Yan followed him out.
After closing the car door, Lu Jinghuai reached out to Lin Yan. Lin Yan was stunned for a moment and then extended her hand, which Lu Jinghuai held tightly.
Lin Yan was a little nervous because of Lu Jinghuai's caution, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
The housekeeper had been waiting at the door of the manor for a long time. Seeing the two of them approaching, he bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Lu, Madam, the manor is ready."
Lu Jinghuai said "hmm", and the housekeeper asked someone to open the big iron gate. Lu Jinghuai took Lin Yan into the manor.
