The applause from the audience grew even louder.
Huo Beichen stood in the crowd, his eyes fixed on the two figures on the stage for a long time.
His gaze was like the deep sea; no one could see what he was thinking.
Zeze brought the cake and toy car home.
Because Huo Beichen didn't leave, but came back with them.
Sheng Nanyin first let Zeze take a bath and take a nap, and then came to the living room.
“You can take the cake,” she said to Huo Beichen, who was sitting on the sofa. “It’s a token of Zeze’s appreciation.”
As for how he handles it, that's beyond her control.
"Why is the butter this color?" he suddenly asked.
She hadn't expected him to ask that.
He had already gotten up and walked up to her.
“Huh…” She raised her eyes, looking somewhat confused and flustered.
"Why this color?" he asked again.
There's nothing particularly special about it.
She just remembered that it was the first year she met him.
She prepared a birthday gift for him very carefully.
She spent the money she had saved for half a year to buy a designer tie.
After receiving it, he neither said he liked it nor disliked it.
That evening, he appeared exhausted and took her out for a late-night snack.
As we passed by the mall, he asked, "Did you buy your tie there?"
What a coincidence! I bought it at this very mall.
He went inside and changed his tie to one with a light green striped pattern.
She always remembered this detail.
For someone as busy as him to make such a trip in person, he must really love this color.
So, she colored the cake cream this color today, hoping he would remember Zeze's feelings.
"Is it just Zeze's feelings?" There seemed to be a hint of expectation in his bright black eyes.
But what is she expecting?
Sheng Nanyin didn't understand.
His phone suddenly rang.
Sun Xiaowei urged him to go to the birthday party.
Today's guests are extraordinary.
"Okay," he replied.
After he left, Sheng Nanyin couldn't help but walk to the window.
From here you can see the vehicles coming and going at the entrance of the residential area.
Actually, there's a bit of distance between them, so you can't see the car body clearly.
But she stood there for quite a while.
Let's consider this their farewell.
She couldn't help but recall the night they first met.
If time could turn back, would she make the same choice?
Perhaps she will learn to keep some distance.
Sun Xiaowei called her again.
"The ferry leaves at 1 p.m., at pier 5. You'd better leave early so you don't miss your flight."
Sheng Nanyin nodded; she planned to leave home at ten o'clock.
Sun Xiaowei paused for a moment, then finally couldn't help but ask, "Will you come back?"
His tone betrayed a hint of insecurity.
"No," Sheng Nanyin answered decisively.
Sun Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a lively birthday party had already begun, with guests arriving in an endless stream, all beaming with smiles.
She quickly snapped out of her worry.
This is the life she and Huo Beichen should be living.
Therefore, Sheng Nanyin and Zeze must be kicked out of their lives.
Sheng Nanyin's guarantee alone is not enough.
We need to give them another boost.
Sun Xiaowei gripped the small medicine packet tightly in her hand.
"Miss, Mr. Huo has arrived," the assistant reported as she walked in.
Through the glass window, Sun Xiaowei indeed saw that familiar tall figure.
He stood out in the crowd, radiating a unique light.
A sense of pride welled up inside her.
This is the man she's set her sights on!
He is destined to be the best!
Then, looking down, she was surprised to find that he was carrying a box of cakes.
"What is that?" Sun Xiaowei asked in confusion.
“I’ve spoken with Mr. Huo’s assistant,” the assistant replied. “It was a birthday gift from Zeze to Mr. Huo, made by Miss Sheng herself.”
Sun Xiaowei's face immediately turned ugly.
However, she immediately realized that this was a stroke of luck for her.
She had already ordered a cake, intending to give it to him in Sheng Nanyin's name.
Now that he's brought one himself, isn't it like handing her a pillow just when she's about to doze off?
Sun Xiaowei greeted Huo Beichen, pretending she knew nothing, and affectionately took his arm.
"Brother Beichen, it's your birthday, why would you bring your own cake?" she said with a smile.
Huo Beichen didn't say much, and handed the cake to his assistant, saying, "Put it inside, don't let it mix with the food the guests are eating."
Sun Xiaowei took his arm and said, "We have many distinguished guests today. I'll take you to meet them."
She led him around for a while, then excused herself to go back to her room to touch up her makeup and left temporarily.
She went straight to the dining room in the villa, where the cake he had brought back was quietly placed on the small dining table.
very beautiful.
Very exquisite.
Sheng Nanyin, you finally put your heart into it.
Let me add some more good luck to it.
It's almost 10 o'clock now.
Sheng Nanyin led Zeze downstairs, and they hadn't gone far when one of Huo Beichen's assistants came up to them.
"Miss Sheng, it's so late, is there anything I can help you with?" The assistant looked at Zeze with a puzzled expression.
At this time in the past, Zeze would already be asleep.
Sheng Nanyin smiled slightly: "The child was too excited to sleep today, so I'm taking him downstairs for a walk."
"I want to drive a toy car!" Zeze insisted.
Sheng Nanyin frowned: "It's too late now, let's play tomorrow."
Zeze squirmed unhappily: "Don't you want to? I want to play today, just for a little while."
Helpless, Sheng Nanyin had to ask her assistant to bring down the toy electric car she had won that day from her home.
Zeze was very happy. He grabbed the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and sped forward.
"Slow down, slow down!" Sheng Nanyin quickly chased after them, and soon the two disappeared around the corner of the alley in the residential area.
The two assistants looked around for a while.
"Will nothing happen?" one of the assistants asked.
"What could possibly be wrong?" another assistant asked in return.
That's true.
Sheng Nanyin wasn't holding anything in her hands.
Honestly, even when staying at a hotel, you still need to register with your ID card.
"It's the boss's birthday today, and he's having a great time with his fiancée."
"Let's not bother him with such a small matter."
At this moment, Huo Beichen was sitting at the dining table, quietly gazing at the cake in front of him.
"Brother Beichen, what brings you in?" Sun Xiaowei came to his side, glanced at the cake, and asked, "Want to cut the birthday cake?"
Huo Beichen replied calmly, "I'm tired, I came in to rest for a bit."
Sun Xiaowei smiled and said, "Since you're here, let's cut the cake. It's a birthday, so we have to eat cake, right?"
As she spoke, she brought out a candle and a lighter.
And then he reached out to take the cake lid.
"Let me do it." Huo Beichen reached out his hand, preventing her from touching him.
Her hand, which was suspended in mid-air, paused slightly, but she quickly withdrew it, pretending nothing had happened.
Huo Beichen opened the cake lid.
She then placed candles.
The lighter clicked, igniting the candle, and the flame flickered gently.
"Brother Beichen, do you believe that birthday wishes will come true?" she asked.
