Chapter 201 Happy Birthday, Husband
This weekend, Lin Youning spent two days with Zhao Fu.
Gu Huaichen happened to have something to do at the company, so he didn't pay too much attention to where Lin Youning went.
Spend a weekend choreographing the dance, and all that's left is to practice it.
During work hours on Mondays and Fridays, Lin Youning would also take time out to practice dancing in the theater.
Zhong Xue saw her once and asked her curiously what she was doing and whether she wanted to sign up for any competition.
Lin Youning smiled and said no, and asked Zhong Xue to give her some advice to see if there was anything that was not smooth or good enough.
Zhong Xue's opinion is that it is perfect and full of emotion.
With the recognition from her peers, Lin Youning gained a little more confidence in her dance.
Gu Huaichen's birthday is on Friday. Yin Jin said several days in advance that he wanted to celebrate Gu Huaichen's birthday and also suggested going to a nearby hot spring villa to celebrate Gu Huaichen's birthday.
Lin Youning didn't have any objection. It would be nice for everyone to have fun together on the weekend.
But if that were the case, she wouldn't have time to dance for Gu Huaichen.
After much thought, she thought that she could arrange the dance on Friday morning. They would leave for the hot spring villa on Friday afternoon, so early morning was the best time.
Originally, it was impossible for her and Gu Huaichen to go to bed so early.
For this dance, Lin Youning found Wen Ci a week in advance and made her a dress. Although Wen Ci specialized in making cheongsams, she had no problem making other clothes.
After work on Wednesday, Lin Youning went to Wen Ci to get clothes and hid them in the closet at home.
After get off work on Thursday, Ji Nutu, who knew that the two were going out to celebrate their birthday, called them and asked them to come back to the old house for dinner in the evening so that they could celebrate Gu Huaichen's birthday in advance.
Gu Huaichen came to the theater to pick her up, and they went home together.
"You're back." Ji Nutu greeted the two of them warmly, "Ningning, are you tired from work?"
Lin Youning chuckled, "Mom, I'm not tired. I'm enjoying it."
Ji Nutu raised her eyebrows, patted her shoulder and said, "That's fine, take a rest if you're tired."
Lin Youning agreed.
It was a little late when the two got home from get off work, and the kitchen had already prepared dinner and a cake.
The cake was made by Ji Nutu herself. To this, Father Gu was a little jealous, "Your mother has never made a cake for me."
Ji Nutu: “…”
She glanced at Father Gu and said helplessly, "I'll do it for you on your next birthday. This is my first time and I'm afraid I can't do it well."
"..." Gu Huaichen spoke at the right time, "Mom, you mean to use me to test the poison?"
Ji Nutu glanced at him and said, "Gu Huaichen, don't let me scold you today."
Gu Huaichen curled his lips, "Thank you, Miss Ji."
He put his hand on the girl's shoulder and whispered, "I must have a piece of cake tonight."
Gu Huaichen doesn't like sweets, and every year on his birthday, he would just take a bite of the cake. Today, he said he wanted to eat a whole piece, which was really giving the girl some face.
As expected, Ji Nutu was quite happy to hear this.
She smiled and said yes, and added, "You don't have to force yourself."
She knew Gu Huaichen didn't like sweets.
Gu Huaichen: "Not forcing it."
Gu Huaichen's birthday is not a grand one. Although he is the president of Gu Group, he doesn't like to share his birthday with others. Every year he just has a meal with his family and friends, and plays a little.
But even so, the birthday gift prepared by Ji Nutu and others for Gu Huaichen should not be underestimated.
From the gifts that Gu's father and his friends gave to Gu Huaichen, Lin Youning could clearly sense their love for Gu Huaichen.
In comparison, she felt that her dancing was a bit inferior.
On the way home after dinner at the old house, Lin Youning kept thinking about whether she should still dance.
She also didn't notice that Gu Huaichen's eyes fell on her from time to time.
It was not until the two returned to the Yun Gu Mansion that Uncle Li and Aunt Yang made sobering tea for the two who had drunk some wine, and then told them to go to bed early and left.
Lin Youning went upstairs with Gu Huaichen.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Huaichen asked, noticing her stunned look.
Lin Youning raised her head, "What?"
Gu Huaichen raised his hand and gently pinched her nose. "You were distracted on the way back. What were you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about the birthday present your parents gave you." Lin Youning said honestly, "They love you very much."
Gu Huaichen hummed, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, "I know."
He paused, then said, "I love you."
“…”
Lin Youning was stunned, then met his deep and affectionate eyes, and smiled, "Oh."
Gu Huaichen: “That’s it?”
"I know." Lin Youning said.
She knew that Gu Huaichen loved her.
As for when liking her turned into love, she didn't know, and she guessed Gu Huaichen didn't know either.
It's hard to explain something like feelings.
Love will turn into liking, liking will turn into love.
Hearing Lin Youning's words, Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows, but did not force her to say something like "I love you too."
He knew that Lin Youning was embarrassed.
"Go take a shower first?" Gu Huaichen glanced at the time. It was actually still early.
Lin Youning nodded, "Okay."
Gu Huaichen was going to the study to check his mailbox, and Lin Youning went to take a shower first.
When she came out of the shower, Gu Huaichen just came back from the study. She urged him to take a shower, then looked at the time and went to the cloakroom to take out the classical dance clothes she had hidden.
After changing, Lin Youning put on a long knitted jacket on the outside to cover her skirt tightly.
It was not yet twelve o'clock when Gu Huaichen came out of the shower.
Lin Youning said that she wanted to drink some red wine, so Gu Huaichen satisfied her request and they went to the wine cabinet in the basement to pick out a bottle of red wine.
After returning to the restaurant on the first floor and opening the cup, Lin Youning sipped the drinks and drank two small cups.
The two drank and waited for the clock to turn to twelve o'clock. Lin Youning clinked glasses with Gu Huaichen first and said with a smile, "Happy birthday, husband."
She wanted to be the first person to say happy birthday to Gu Huaichen.
Gu Huaichen curled his lips, "Thank you, baby."
When Gu Huaichen said this, which was usually only used in bed, Lin Youning's cheeks turned red. She pursed her lips slightly and looked at him, "Do you... want to accept your birthday present?"
Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows: "Hmm?"
Lin Youning: "Have you forgotten?"
"Now?" Gu Huaichen certainly didn't forget.
Lin Youning exclaimed, took off his coat, and said, "Now."
She looked up at Gu Huaichen and said, "Let's go to the yard?"
Her dance required a certain space, it could be in the dance studio upstairs, but she danced there for Gu Huaichen, not in the yard, and the atmosphere was created under the moonlight.
Gu Huaichen looked at Lin Youning, who was wearing a fairy-like dress with flowing sleeves, and his eyes dimmed. "Okay."
He was looking forward to her birthday present.
