Chapter 147 Birthday Celebration
Shen Yue was a little embarrassed. "I just think everyone's gifts are very practical and memorable. Mine... you'll know when you see them later."
After saying that, she winked at Cheng Sijin.
"oh!"
Cheng Sijin brought a large square box to the table. "I've protected it for you all the way, so it won't get bumped!"
"Hey, thank you."
Shen Yue mysteriously removed the lid, and everyone saw a flat cylinder inlaid with grapes appearing before their eyes.
Xiao Yuheng was startled. "Is this...food?"
Shen Yue nodded. "It's a birthday cake. I got up early to make it! In my hometown, people like to eat birthday cakes on their birthdays."
Unfortunately, she didn't know when her birthday was and had never eaten her own birthday cake.
"Later you have to close your eyes and make a wish, but remember not to say it out loud!"
As she spoke, she inserted the candles she had prepared in advance into the cake and prepared to light them.
Xiao Yuheng grabbed her wrist and asked, "Ayue, can you make the vow with me?"
"Silly boy, birthday wishes are of course only for the birthday person."
Shen Yue explained patiently, but Xiao Yuheng looked at her with a smile, "Today is also your birthday."
"W-what?"
Shen Yue was still in a daze when she saw Xiao Yuheng spread out his palm like a magic trick.
A crescent moon pendant lay there quietly, flawless white jade, pure and transparent.
"You said you didn't know when you were born, so you didn't know whether the moon was full or crescent. Now you know? From now on, my birthday will be your birthday, okay?"
As Xiao Yuheng spoke, he put the jade pendant around her neck and kissed her forehead.
Seeing this, everyone started laughing and making noises: "Kiss! Kiss..."
Xiao Yuheng smiled and held the person in his arms, "Of course I have to kiss you, but I can't let you see it."
"Tsk~~~~"
Everyone looked disappointed, but Xiao Yuheng ignored them and just gently stroked the top of Shen Yue's head, back and forth.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you shy?"
He put some distance between them and realized that Shen Yue had shed tears without him noticing.
The little person had a red nose and wet eyelashes that were stuck together in clumps. He looked so pitiful.
"What's wrong, Yue?"
Xiao Yuheng felt so distressed that he hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Are you angry because I acted on my own? Why don't you choose a better day?"
"No." Shen Yue sobbed and spoke incoherently.
"I'm just too happy. I've never had a birthday, let alone received a birthday present. It's all your fault. You insisted on making me cry. It's really embarrassing, wuwu..."
As she spoke, she buried her head in Xiao Yuheng's arms and cried, rubbing the fabric on his chest until it became wet and wrinkled.
Xiao Yuheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only kiss the top of her head to comfort her.
After crying enough, Shen Yue looked up at the people at the table and felt even more embarrassed.
Jiang Rou smiled and shook her head, motioning for the palace maid to bring a brocade box and put the peach blossom Ruyi gold hairpin in the box into her hair.
"Silly child, forget all the hardships you've suffered in the past. We will celebrate your birthday every year from now on."
Cheng Sijin also came around from the opposite side, "Your Majesty is right, you will receive gifts every year from now on. Look at the crystal bracelet I chose for you, it's so pretty in pink!"
As she spoke, she put the bracelet on Shen Yue's wrist.
Shen Yue finally burst into laughter and said, "Thank you, Madam, thank you Sijin, I like it very much."
At this time, Changfeng and Baozhu, who were standing diagonally opposite, were holding a box of gold darts and a slingshot respectively, and were so embarrassed that they were digging their toes into the ground.
"The prince only told us that today is your birthday, but he didn't say you were a girl, so..."
Shen Yue was pleasantly surprised and took it with a smile, "No problem, I love this kind of bloody stuff the most!"
The two were stunned and couldn't help laughing.
After receiving the gifts, Shen Yue couldn't wait to light the birthday candles.
The two birthday celebrants listened to the birthday song and made wishes devoutly.
Xiao Yuheng leaned close to Shen Yue's ear and whispered, "Ayue, what wish did you make?"
Shen Yue was annoyed with him, "I told you not to ask, it won't work if you tell me now!"
"If you don't want to ask, then don't ask. I know it even if you don't tell me."
Xiao Yuheng pouted and pretended to be indifferent, looking so childish that Shen Yue couldn't help laughing so hard that she couldn't stop for a long time.
It was a rare occasion for everyone to get together, eat cake, drink wine, and laugh and chat.
It was almost evening when Jiang Rou finally let them go.
Before leaving, she specially packed all kinds of delicious and fun things for them to take with them.
Shen Yue packed her and Xiao Yuheng's birthday presents in a wooden box, and while packing, she couldn't let go of it while looking at it again and again.
Xiao Yuheng suddenly came up behind her and put his arm around her waist. "Ayue, I actually prepared other gifts for you."
"What?"
Chen Yue liked the jade pendant very much, but she didn't want him to spend any more money. But since he mentioned it, she wanted to listen to it.
Xiao Yuheng rubbed his chin against the back of her neck, his smile becoming more mysterious.
"Don't you really like money? I've ordered Sijin to divide my property into three parts. All your favorite shops on Suzaku Street will belong to you, okay?"
If someone else heard this, they would have been overjoyed, but Shen Yue's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
She tilted her head to look at him, "Anything else?"
Xiao Yuheng was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "How did you know?"
"I've opened an account for you at the bank on Suzaku Street and deposited some money. You'll know the exact amount when the time comes. Also, Jiang Da is gone, and Changfeng has to take care of the Black Hawk Army's former subordinates, so the Shadow Guard Division will have to be handed over to you."
……really.
Shen Yue brushed his arm away, turned around and stared at him intently.
"If I'm not mistaken, one portion of the remaining two properties will be left to the Empress, and the other portion will be used as military supplies for the Black Hawk Army, correct?"
Xiao Yuheng's expression suddenly changed, "Ayue, you..."
"Yes, I just know it!"
Shen Yue's eyes were filled with rage, and her chest heaved up and down with anger.
"I've been feeding you blood every other day, and I haven't given up yet. And you, a bastard, are giving up first and starting to write a will?"
"I……"
Xiao Yuheng didn't expect her to have such a big reaction. He put his arm around her shoulders and tried to coax her in a soft tone:
"That's not what I meant, but the reality is that we haven't found the Medicine King yet, so I have to make plans in advance."
"Bullshit! Everything you said is bullshit! Who wants your shop? Who wants your shabby money? I don't want any of it! If I had known, I wouldn't have saved you. If I had known, I shouldn't have followed you back to Paradise Island!"
Shen Yue was so angry that she was about to cry. She pushed him away, kicked her feet, and rushed out the door.
"Ayue, don't go!"
Seeing that Shen Yue was running faster than a mouse, Xiao Yuheng immediately panicked and quickly chased after her.
Ever since Ah Yue was beaten with a stick in Sifang City, she has been thinking about running away all the time. It took him a whole month to coax her into giving up this idea.
She is very angry now. If he doesn't get her back in time, she might never find her again.
"Ayue, come back!"
