"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He walked behind her, covered Bai Xiaoruo's eyes with his hands to prevent her from peeking, and said, "Take a few steps forward."
"Walk? How can you walk with your eyes closed? You'll fall."
"Don't worry, I'll be right behind you and won't let you fall."
"All right."
Bai Xiaoruo was increasingly confused by Xian Mingyu. What exactly was he trying to do? He'd been keeping things mysterious for so long; when would he finally reveal his purpose?
She moved forward cautiously, taking small steps. "Is it okay now?"
"Take two more steps, and watch your step."
"Huh? Oh... is it okay now?"
"That's fine."
Phew, she could finally open her eyes. Bai Xiaoruo had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
All the lights in the hall were turned off, and it was pitch black everywhere. For Bai Xiaoruo, who was severely nearsighted, it was completely dark and blurry. The only thing that was shining was the strawberry cake with a lit candle on the dining table.
Those are specially made candles; as long as they aren't blown out, they will keep burning and won't burn out completely.
cake?
She didn't see wrong, did she?
Why is there a cake here so late?
She walked closer, came to the table, rubbed her eyes, and looked again. Sure enough, it was a cake with candles on it.
"This, this is..." Bai Xiaoru looked at Xuan Mingyu behind her with some confusion. Did he make this cake and the candles on it?
He put his arm around her shoulder, lowered his head, and kissed her head; her soft hair carried a faint fragrance.
Happy birthday, my little Ruo'er.
"You... how did you know..." Bai Xiaoruo covered her mouth in surprise. She had never told Xuan Mingyu when her birthday was, so how did he know?
"You've made it so obvious, if I still can't guess, how can I be your husband?"
As soon as he got off the plane and returned home, he took off his coat and started busying himself in the kitchen making a cake. He rushed as fast as he could, and although he couldn't get the cake in front of her at midnight, at least he didn't miss her birthday.
Xian Mingyu gently pinched her cheek. "I never want to miss your birthday. No matter how busy I am, no matter where I am, I will find a way to come back to you."
Bai Xiaoruo looked at Xuan Mingyu in front of her, and for a moment she didn't know what to say to him. She was very happy, but also a little at a loss.
Unexpectedly, he actually made her a cake with candles on it, and even though he was very busy, he still rushed back to celebrate her birthday with her.
It feels like a dream.
"Oh, right, I have a gift for you."
"What gift is it?" Bai Xiaoru asked curiously. She thought the cake was the gift he gave her. Was there anything else?
Xuan Mingyu released the person in his arms, suddenly took two steps back, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Bai Xiaoruo.
Bai Xiaoruo was somewhat flattered and took two steps back as well. What was he doing?
What are you doing?
Xuan Mingyu did not answer her. He took out a small black square velvet box from his pocket, opened it, and inside lay a ring.
The ring's design was quite unique, featuring a small crescent moon with a sparkling diamond in the center. Bai Xiaoruo couldn't see it clearly because she wasn't wearing her glasses, but she was certain that it was indeed a ring.
"Our wedding was very simple. We couldn't invite any of your friends; all the guests were from the Xian family. From the wedding decorations and your wedding dress to the rings we exchanged, everything was very ordinary. At first, I never had the idea of growing old with you. I didn't like this marriage or you as my wife at all."
"However, in the year or so since we got married, the impression you gave me and all your actions have completely exceeded my expectations... I probably won't say too many of those mushy words of love, and I don't want to always give you the same perfunctory replies."
"This ring was commissioned by me a month ago. It is one of a kind in the whole world, and you will never find another one like it."
When the ring was first made, Xuan Mingyu wanted to give it to Bai Xiaoruo, but he didn't know how to bring it up, what reason to give it to her, or how to give it to her.
Today is her birthday, so this is the perfect opportunity.
"Back then, not being able to give you the best wedding was a regret between us. Now that you're pregnant, I don't want you to be too stressed..."
“I’ve always wanted to make up for what I did to you in the past. I’ve thought about it for a long time… After you give birth to the baby and you’re fully recovered, we’ll have another wedding. This time, you can decide on all the arrangements. I want you to be the happiest bride in the world.”
Bai Xiaoruo was a little confused, her mind went blank.
Should we have a second wedding?
This was really a bit of a surprise to her.
She never imagined that after being married for so long, they could have their wedding again.
Bai Xiaoruo didn't know how to respond to Xuan Mingyu for a moment.
Although I really want to have a wedding again and make up for many details of the last wedding, I'm afraid it would be too much trouble and unnecessary to spend too much money on those ceremonies.
As long as they like each other, they can live a simple and peaceful life. All those unnecessary formalities and superficial gestures are really unnecessary.
Seeing that Bai Xiaoruo was still looking conflicted and hadn't responded for a long time, Xuan Mingyu became even more nervous than her.
