While Lu Xiaoqiao was waiting for him just now, she complained to Zhou Qizhen more than once in her heart. Not only did he come back so late, but he also insisted on asking his secretary to pick her up in the middle of the night.
When she saw his resolute and handsome face, which looked a little tired under the light, she felt distressed.
Zhou Qizhen's gaze fell on the girl who was quietly waiting for him, and at that moment all his tiredness disappeared.
He quickly put down the suitcase in his hand. The suitcase made a "bang" sound when it fell, but he didn't care at all and walked towards Lu Xiaoqiao eagerly.
He held her tightly in his arms, lowered his head slightly, and whispered in her ear: "Are you all sleepy? You've been waiting for a long time, right?" His tone was full of heartache and guilt.
Lu Xiaoqiao hugged his waist back, buried her face in his arms and shook her head: "We can make it up on our birthdays later. After all, tomorrow is my birthday."
When he heard the word "birthday", Zhou Qizhen raised his wrist to check the time. It was 23:55, luckily he made it.
Zhou Qi suddenly picked her up by the waist, and the moment his body was in the air, Lu Xiaoqiao screamed in surprise and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
He steadily carried her to the sofa in front of the oversized floor-to-ceiling window and sat down facing the glass. Then, he slightly adjusted her position so that she could sit comfortably on his lap.
Lu Xiaoqiao had never been hugged like this by him before, and her cheeks were tinged with shyness. Since they had been together, they felt that he was a little fierce except when kissing. Usually he was very gentle to them: "Why are we looking at the glass? We can't see the river view at night."
All I could see was the reflection of two people hugging each other intimately on the glass.
Zhou Qizheng hugged her waist from behind, raised his wrist to check the time again, and whispered in her ear: "The gift for you is outside. 5-4-3-2-1. Happy birthday!"
As Zhou Qizheng finished speaking, he saw thousands of drones suddenly rise into the sky in the distance outside the floor-to-ceiling window, like a group of shining stars. They were arranged in an orderly manner, gradually forming a huge red heart. The heart was also surrounded by drones, emitting white light, like bright stars surrounding the heart in the middle.
The drone show lasted for twenty-two minutes, and every moment was fascinating. They kept changing their formations, and finally froze into three letters LXQ.
At the end of the performance, Zhou Qizheng thought he would get a happy hug or kiss from the girl, but when he looked down, he was stunned!
At this moment, Lu Xiaoqiao's clear eyes were already filled with tears. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was trying hard not to let the tears fall.
Zhou Qizheng was trembling with fear. He turned her from his lap to face him. "Why are you crying again?"
Lu Xiaoqiao pursed her lips tightly, and the tears that had been stored in her eyes suddenly overflowed after he asked this question.
She suddenly wondered why she had become so docile after being with Zhou Qizhen. Perhaps it was the love and care he gave her that gave her someone to rely on, and she no longer had to face everything alone.
Although she is an outgoing person, her childhood was filled with bitterness and helplessness. Ever since her brother became ill, the adults in her family have focused all their attention on him, totally ignoring her feelings. At the same time, she couldn't understand why her life was like this, yet she still had to endure the vicious sarcasm of her classmates, "I heard that your brother's illness will make him a fool in the future."
She tried desperately to get her classmate to shut up, but the consequence of her impulsiveness was that she could no longer continue studying in that school. Eventually, her aunt took her to Hangzhou to study.
She didn't know whether she was living under someone else's roof, but she had learned to read people's expressions very early on. She was afraid that her aunt would have a hard time because of her, so she tried not to go back to her aunt's house while she was living on campus, for fear of causing more trouble for her.
After graduation, she lived in her aunt's house and never mentioned any injustice she suffered. Compared with the monthly salary of 2,000 yuan less than others, even if her uncle-in-law had not warned her, she would never tell her aunt a word, thinking that she should pay back all that...
From childhood to adulthood, her birthdays were all hastily celebrated with just a blessing from her parents and a bowl of longevity noodles. There were no lively birthday parties, no exquisite gifts, and she had never even eaten her own birthday cake.
Until she met Zhou Qizhen, she had never felt that anyone was as attentive, considerate, and patient as him, and no one was willing to put aside his own status to cater to her preferences.
She suddenly got scared! She was afraid that Zhou Qizhen was just playing around with this relationship. She felt that she had become greedy and didn't want to let go now that she had him.
After Lu Xiaoqiao thought about this, tears started to flow again.
"Don't cry." Zhou Qizhen bent down and kissed away the tears on her cheeks.
Seeing his worried frown, Lu Xiaoqiao felt a little embarrassed.
He sniffed lightly, rubbed his eyes hurriedly, and said with a slightly buzzing voice: "Who is crying! I'm not crying, I just got something in my eyes!"
Zhou Qizhen's eyes flashed with understanding, and he looked at her still red eyes quietly. Tears were still welling up in her eyes, but he was still trying hard to control his emotions.
Instantly, my heart was filled with tenderness and pity. I couldn't bear to expose her, so I said to her, "Is it your eyelash that got stuck in? Let me help you check."
After saying this, he actually held her face and stared into her eyes seriously. After a moment, he slowly lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her eyes.
Zhou Qi was holding her in his arms. After a long while, when she had calmed down, he whispered, "I've prepared a birthday present for you. Do you want to go and see it?"
At this moment, Lu Xiaoqiao, who was nestled in his arms, was startled for a moment, raised her head and glanced at him, wondering, "Didn't you already see it just now?"
Zhou Qizhen kissed her cheek and said softly, "That one is a Christmas present, and the next one is a birthday present."
Lu Xiaoqiao was surprised: "Two gifts?"
"Hmm! This gift...I have been preparing it for a long time."
Hearing him say that he had been preparing for a long time, Lu Xiaoqiao suddenly became curious about what this gift would be!
The two came to the underground parking lot. Zhou Qi was walking towards a car covered with a car cover. As the car cover was lifted, a icy plum purple Panamera appeared in front of them. The unique color shone charmingly under the light.
Lu Xiaoqiao widened her eyes and stared at the car parked in front of her, her lips slightly parted in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.
Looking at Zhou Qizheng, it took him a while to find his voice again. He pointed at the car and asked, "Is this... for me?"
Zhou Qizheng smiled dotingly: "Well! Do you like it?"
Lu Xiaoqiao's mind was in a mess: "No, why did you give me this? This is too expensive? Did you hear from Lin Lin that I like this car? We said that when we were joking together before, why did you take it seriously?"
