Even on Saturday night, Young Master Yan still couldn't find out what his birthday present was from his wife and son.
Anyway, every time he brought it up, the two of them would say in unison, "It's a secret!"
In the end, even Yan Shao himself felt it was pointless, so he simply stopped asking.
Regarding how to celebrate his birthday, Zhu Qianying offered several options: First, the whole family could have a meal at home, with Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing in charge of cooking. Second, they could throw a party, inviting friends and subordinates such as Ke Kai and Qin Xiu to join in the fun. Third, they could take a short trip and celebrate his birthday at a resort in the evening.
Without even thinking, Yan Shao chose option one.
"Parties can be held anytime, and trips can be taken anytime, but on my birthday, I just want to spend time happily with you all."
It wasn't until she got closer to Yan Shao that Zhu Qianying realized she had misunderstood him too many times.
Before, when Yan Shao was still that legendary figure who had nothing to do with her, she only thought of him as someone who was used to a glamorous and exciting private life.
After getting to know him, she discovered that, contrary to her interpretation, his private life, like his obsessive-compulsive disorder, was surprisingly clean and aloof.
Even now, when he occasionally has social engagements, he rarely comes home after midnight. Moreover, even when he drinks, he seems to only take a small sip. To this day, Zhu Qianying has never seen him completely drunk.
These past two days, Zizai has finally been willing to go back to his own bedroom to sleep. Therefore, on Saturday night, Yan Shao was finally able to fall asleep holding Zhu Qianying as he used to.
"Did you drink a lot today?" Zhu Qianying gently stroked his slightly prickly chin, her brows furrowed as she asked with concern.
For someone like Young Master Yan, there are naturally many people who want to celebrate his birthday. He wants to save his birthday for his family, so on Saturday night, he had Qin Xiu and Ke Kai set up a dinner party at a restaurant outside, with several tables, specifically to entertain those who wanted to celebrate his birthday.
He knew that Zhu Qianying never liked socializing with those people, so after mentioning this to her, he brought Qin Xiu, Ke Kai, and several capable subordinates with him to the dinner party.
At a dinner party, drinking is inevitable. Of course, given Yan Shao's status, no one would dare force him to drink, but even so, he still had to politely drink a little, a little with this person and a little with that person. The total amount he drank must have been quite substantial.
"Yes, it is a bit too much..."
It had been many days since Yan Shao had held Zhu Qianying so peacefully. He closed his eyes slightly, pressed his face against her hair, and gently rubbed against it, so content that he didn't want to open his mouth and break the warmth.
"How about I make you a cup of hangover tea?"
Zhu Qianying braced herself against the bed, making a move to get up.
Yan Shao held her tightly, pressing her into his arms.
"No need, it's not that bad yet. Be good, don't move around, and give me a nice hug!"
Zhu Qianying raised her head slightly, kissed his chin, and teased, "Haven't you hugged me enough yet?"
Young Master Yan lightly pecked her forehead. "How could that be enough? Even a lifetime of hugs wouldn't be enough!"
Zhu Qianying touched her burning cheeks, speechless.
Yan Shao's lips moved from her forehead to her lips, then he suddenly remembered the gift and bit her lip hard.
Zhu Qianying let out a soft howl, scolding him for his beastly behavior, when she heard him ask, "Baby, what gift are you going to give me?"
Zhu Qianying slightly raised the corners of her lips, "It's a secret!"
Her concise two words really whetted Yan Shao's appetite.
Yan Shao cupped her face in his hands, his deep, dark eyes showing no trace of intoxication.
The two stared at each other for several seconds, and Yan Shao couldn't help but lower his head and bite her again, "You didn't prepare anything, did you?"
Zhu Qianying smiled without saying a word.
Yan Shao gritted his teeth fiercely, "Fine, it doesn't matter if you have nothing, just give yourself to me."
Zhu Qianying couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Young Master, that's such an old joke!"
Yan Shao snorted, "The joke doesn't have to be old, as long as it's useful!"
Zhu Qianying suppressed a laugh, "But didn't I already give myself to you? Giving myself again would be the same as giving nothing at all, wouldn't it?"
Young Master Yan snorted again, "That's different!"
As he spoke, he leaned close to Zhu Qianying's ear and whispered a few words, which made Zhu Qianying's face turn bright red instantly.
Young Master Yan adored her blushing face at the drop of a hat. He opened his mouth and bit her earlobe, then rolled over and pinned her tightly beneath him. In a husky, deep voice, he whispered in her ear, "We'll withdraw some interest tonight, and the principal tomorrow night!"
...
Yan Shao had been curious about his birthday gift for days, and it was finally revealed early this morning.
However, only Vic Chou's birthday gift was revealed; Zhu Qianying's remains a mystery.
Yan Shao walked downstairs early in the morning, looking refreshed. As soon as the little guy saw him, he came over happily. Unlike before, he didn't rush over for a hug, but instead ran over with his hands behind his back.
Happy birthday, Daddy!
Yan Shao squatted down in front of him and leaned his face forward slightly.
The little one gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and asked, "Daddy, where's Mommy?"
Zhu Qianying, who was just reaching the top of the stairs, smiled and replied, "I'm here!"
The little guy then pulled a hand out from behind his back, looked up at her with a smile, and waved frantically, "Mommy, come down quickly!"
Zhu Qianying quickly walked down and squatted down next to Yan Shao. Only then did the little guy take out the thing he had been hiding behind his back.
"Daddy, this is my birthday present for you!"
Yan Shao looked down and saw that what the little guy was handing him was a piece of painted pottery the size of a palm.
He opened his arms to take the painted pottery and examined it closely.
This is a painted pottery figure, clearly depicting a family of three. The man has handsome features, the woman is pretty and delicate, and the chubby little boy they are holding, though innocent and childlike, has features that clearly resemble the man's.
"Is this the three of us?" Young Master Yan was captivated by the sight, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that these three were the real version of his family of three.
Zizai nodded, "Yes, it's Daddy, Mommy, and Zizai! Do they look alike? Aren't they pretty?"
Zhu Qianying leaned closer to examine it closely, "You know what, their facial features and expressions are very similar."
The little guy proudly raised his chin, "Of course it looks like it! I made it myself!"
The little guy was telling the truth. At the beginning of the school year, the school offered many extracurricular classes, and the little guy was particularly interested in painted pottery. Moreover, he seemed to have some talent in this area. After a semester, the painted pottery he made was actually quite good.
Because it was a personal hobby, the homeroom teacher didn't pay much attention to it. So, even Zhu Qianying only realized at this moment that her precious son could make such lifelike painted pottery.
