Chapter 15 Tidal Sand
Chapter 15 Tidal Sand
Chen Huaixu's palm was against her cheek, and his fingertips rested behind her ear.
Yan Zhen vaguely felt that his fingers were trembling slightly.
He is nervous.
The man who has always been able to handle everything with ease showed rare awkwardness at the most important moment in his life.
He took a step forward, his soles scraping against the plastic floor, making a harsh sound. The sound reached her ears, but was quickly drowned out by the sound of his breathing.
He was very close, so close that Yan Zhen could clearly see the very faint mole under the corner of his eye and his drooping eyelashes.
"Baby, here," he put his hand on her chest, feeling the warm and powerful beating of her heart under her delicate skin, and asked slowly, "Are you there for me?"
At the end of the game, he was just looking for an answer.
Yan Zhen looked at him and covered his hand with her palm.
"To be honest, I originally wanted you to lose," she said. "You've won so many times, and you always seem so confident. I really want to see your face when you fail.
"But then I realized that you can't go against your heart in this kind of thing. If you like someone, you like them. If you don't like someone, you don't like them. If you lie, it would be disrespectful to their sincerity."
The night breeze blew slowly. Yan Zhen grabbed his hand, brought it to her lips, kissed the palm of his hand, and then pressed it against her cheek, her red lips gently opening and closing: "I like it."
Before he could react, she pulled his other hand, pursed her lips, and said in a delicate voice: "Brother Huaixu, kiss me."
Chen Huaixu lowered his head, looked at her intently for a few seconds, reached out and pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and kissed her hard.
They met here, and this is where all the stories began.
And today they return here, and the story will finally have the perfect ending.
Yan Zhen felt that her mood today was very different. Her heart was as soft as cotton candy, and after being kissed by him, it melted away, leaving only an endless sweet aftertaste.
After leaving the basketball court, Chen Huaixu took her home. In the elevator, he maintained basic public etiquette. When the door opened and closed, and they were the only two left in the house, he turned around, pressed her against the door, and kissed her eagerly.
Chen Huaixu carried her from the entrance into the living room and pressed her directly onto the sofa.
The next day, Yan Zhen woke up and saw Chen Huaixu looking at her in a daze. He seemed to have been awake for a long time but didn't want to wake her. She frowned, still a little tired, and buried herself in his arms, humming and grumbling.
The two of them hugged each other in the bed, their skin touching, and soon they started kissing each other.
"Sleep a little longer." She hugged him and yawned drowsily, "Don't get up. Sleep with me."
"Okay," he kissed the tip of her nose, "I'll stay with you."
In the warm and safe embrace, Yan Zhen slept soundly until the phone rang, pulling her back from her sweet dream.
Chen Huaixu stood up, glanced at the caller, and handed the phone to Yan Zhen.
She nestled in his arms and picked up the phone lazily: "Hello?"
Yan Zhao's voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Where are you?"
Since the relationship was confirmed, Yan Zhen didn't hesitate any longer and said, "At Chen Huaixu's house."
"I guessed it was like that," Yan Zhao said slowly, "but have you forgotten something?"
She hadn't realized it yet: "Huh?"
"You suddenly disappeared from the party last night without even giving Mom and Dad a reason. You didn't come back all night. Guess how Mom reacts now?"
Yan Zhen was completely awakened this time.
She immediately got up from the bed and asked anxiously, "What's Mom's reaction? She didn't call me."
"That's because your good brother, I, was kind enough to make up an excuse for you, saying that you went to a friend's house." Yan Zhao said, "So now I'm calling you to collude with your testimony, so that you won't be exposed later."
She was deeply moved and said, "Brother, you are the best!"
"I think so too." Yan Zhao smiled and said, "Call Chen Huaixu."
Chen Huaixu sat up and took the phone from her.
Yan Zhao got straight to the point: "My mother is not that easy to fool, do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Huaixu lowered his head and glanced at Yan Zhen, pinched her earlobe, and hugged her into his arms again, saying, "Well, I understand."
Yan's mother accepted Yan Zhao's reason simply because she didn't want to embarrass Yan Zhen, and it didn't mean that she really didn't know where her daughter had gone.
No matter what, the time has come to face it.
Yan Zhao hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Yan Hui at the stairs looking down at him with displeasure in her eyes.
"Come here."
Yan Hui walked towards the study, Yan Zhao put his phone in his pocket and followed her up the stairs.
In the large study, Yan Zhao's usual desk was now occupied by Yan Hui. She sat in a chair, leaning back. On the table lay a plain brown paper file envelope, with nothing on the cover.
Yan Zhao leaned against the table, picked up the file bag, opened it with his fingertips, took a look inside, and said, "How efficient! They've already found out the person's background so quickly?"
Yan Hui sneered and said, "I haven't settled the score with you yet. Your sister is confused and that's fine, but as her brother, why didn't you try to stop her? How could you let your best friend attack your own sister?"
"They are in love freely, how can I stop them? Besides, don't you like Chen Huaixu very much? You even praised him for being young and promising."
"That's two different things." Yan Hui knocked on the table. "He's outstanding, smart, and capable, but that doesn't mean he'll be a good partner. Someone like him isn't suitable for Zhenzhen, do you understand?"
"I don't have a girlfriend, so I don't understand."
"You're getting better and better at fooling me," Yan Hui walked around the desk and raised her hand to pull Yan Zhao's ear, "I'm going to be pissed off to death by you sooner or later."
Yan Zhao lowered his head, letting his mother pull at his ears. He said, "What do you have to worry about? Chen Huaixu and I have known each other for ten years. I can see his character clearly. He has never had anyone else in all these years and only likes Zhenzhen. Now he is successful in his career. Isn't that enough for your standards?"
Yan Hui released her hand, frowned, and said, "So what? Being wealthy enough to be with her and liking her, isn't that the most basic thing?"
Yan's mother is indeed very strict with her son-in-law.
Yan Zhao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you ask the same of your future daughter-in-law?"
Yan Hui rolled her eyes at him and said, "With your personality, I'm thankful that you're not single."
She turned around and sat back down on the chair, took out the documents from the folder, and began to flip through them one by one.
Yan Zhao leaned his hands on the table and asked, "So what are your plans now? Do you agree?"
Yan Hui didn't even raise her head and said, "It's not that simple."
Yan Zhao agreed, and said with a smile on his lips: "Indeed, he should suffer a little."
Yan Zhen returned home, and Yan Hui didn't ask anything, continuing as usual, which made her quietly relieved, thinking that the matter was over. However, Chen Huaixu asked to visit her a week later.
Yan Zhen was eating at the time and almost choked. She looked at him in disbelief and said, "We've only been dating for a week, and you're going to meet your parents?" {Gentle kiss}
"Just visiting."
Yan's mother knew what happened between them that night. Although she didn't ask about it, she didn't turn the page or condone it.
This was the first test for Chen Huaixu. If he also pretended to be confused, it would definitely leave a worse impression on her.
Yan Zhen took a tissue and wiped the corner of her lips, then said hesitantly, "But I haven't told my mom yet..."
"No, just have some faith in me, baby." Chen Huaixu looked at her distressed expression and said with a smile, "Leave it to me."
As the sky grew darker, Yan Zhen sat in a rocking chair in the garden, looking at her phone anxiously.
Today was the day Chen Huaixu came to visit. When Yan Hui heard about it, she didn't react at all, which made Yan Zhen even more uneasy, not knowing what her mother's attitude was.
Hearing the sound of an engine outside the yard, she immediately jumped out of the rocking chair, and Chocolate, who was squatting beside her legs, followed her and ran to the door.
Yan Zhen threw herself straight into the arms of the man who got out of the car.
Yan Hui saw this scene through the living room window, shook her head and sighed.
Chen Huaixu hugged Yan Zhen who rushed over to him, kissed her forehead, let her go and said, "I'm going to get something."
He went around to the trunk, took out two gift boxes, and walked into the garden with her side by side.
The living room was brightly lit. Yan's father, mother, and Yan Zhao were all present, sitting around the sofa, looking like a three-person trial.
Chen Huaixu greeted her politely and handed over the gift he had brought. Aunt Cui poured some tea, and he thanked her, his back straight and neither humble nor arrogant.
Yan Hui kept examining him, then slowly picked up the tea and blew on it gently. After a long pause, she spoke, "Everyone's time is precious, so I won't beat around the bush. Let me first state my conclusion: I don't agree with you two being together."
As soon as the words came out, Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "Mom..."
Chen Huaixu didn't seem surprised by Yan Hui's reaction and said, "I understand. It's normal for you to have concerns about me, but please give me a chance to prove my determination to Zhenzhen."
Yan Hui didn't say anything.
Chen Huaixu took out a stack of documents and displayed them one by one.
"This is Hexia's corporate analysis report, issued by a third-party, neutral organization. It's for reference only. As someone in the industry, you should have your own judgment. Hexia is a company experiencing rapid growth. While I can't predict how far it will develop in the future, it will definitely be no worse than it is now. The business is very stable and can afford all of Zhenzhen's expenses."
"This is my own educational and family background. My parents divorced when I was young, and I was raised by my grandfather, who passed away when I was in high school. My father is currently a leader in a certain city, and my mother was once a singing star. We haven't been in touch for many years. Except for my mother's illness a while ago, I arranged for her to be admitted to the hospital and paid all the medical expenses, repaying her for giving birth to me.
"This is a detailed list of my personal assets..."
He narrated the story calmly, detailing every detail. Yan Hui remained silent, but Yan Zhao could clearly see a hint of satisfaction in his mother's expression.
Most business negotiations involve holding back and playing both sides. But Chen Huaixu threw everything aside, showing complete sincerity and thoroughly disclosing his personal assets, making it hard not to feel trust in him.
Yan Zhen was also very curious. She picked up the paper on the table and read it line by line.
"This is the share transfer agreement drafted by a lawyer. After we get married, a portion of my Hexia shares will be transferred to Zhenzhen."
She was stunned by the word "marriage". When she came to her senses, she pursed her lips tightly to suppress her excitement. She lowered her head and counted on her fingers, but she couldn't figure out how much this small portion of shares was worth.
Yan Zhen raised his head and glanced at Yan Zhao. His expression clearly said, "Stupid sister is lucky."
Chen Huaixu continued, "At the same time, Hexia will establish a new investment fund in Zhenzhen's name to invest in new industries besides biology and technology."
He narrated each item in an orderly manner, and it didn't seem like he was visiting someone, but rather like he was proposing marriage.
After listening to this, Yan Hui glanced sideways at her husband and asked, "What do you think?"
Duan Zheng was playing with the antique porcelain that Chen Huaixu had sent him, facing the light, and said with a smile, "Little Chen, not bad, not bad, very good."
Seeing her useless husband suddenly turn against her, Yan Hui had no choice but to take over. She picked up the document, flipped through it casually, and put it down again, still indifferent. "Mr. Chen is indeed very sincere, but to be honest, money and shares are at most icing on the cake for Zhenzhen. She already has shares in the Yan family. Even if she does nothing, she will have half of the Yan family's wealth. This is just the most basic aspect of my choice of son-in-law.
"Since Mr. Chen is so sincere, I might as well be frank. I truly admire you. From a business perspective, building your business from scratch to where you are today is truly remarkable. I fully recognize your achievements and demonstrated personal abilities. You are absolutely an exceptional talent, a perfect match for Zhenzhen."
Her words suddenly turned to the other side: "But love isn't about these things. It's about tolerance, responsibility, and emotional value. I've worked for so many years and have come across countless business elites like you. They've been very successful in their careers, but very few of them can thrive in their families. Most elites are selfish, and personal feelings are not worth mentioning to them. For example, a few years ago, I worked with a company and I met one of the executives there a few times. At that time, he had just gotten married and was very happy. He praised his wife for being virtuous and gentle to everyone he met. But within two or three years, he cheated on his wife and divorced her for a third party. The reason was hard to understand. It was simply because he worked very hard and was very busy, while his wife was a full-time homemaker. He felt disgusted with her, so he turned around and got involved with his female subordinate. Not to mention that in this industry, it's really too common for rich men to have mistresses.
"It's incredible, but that's actually the case with many people. At different stages, they have different goals, but the one constant is that they love themselves above all else." Yan Hui took a sip of tea and continued, "Zhenzhen has been pampered by our entire family since she was little. I know her personality best. Maybe today you adore her, tolerate her pampering, let her cling to you, are willing to coax her, fly all the way to western Sichuan just for her, transfer shares, and even set up a fund for her. But what about the future? Mr. Chen's career is on the rise, and you'll only get busier. Work will wear away your patience, while Zhenzhen will always be the same, needing companionship, coaxing, and meticulous care. You'll find that she can't give you the resonance you desire in your career, and she'll require a great deal of your energy to provide emotional value. In this situation, can you still love her as always?"
Yan Hui threw out words one after another.
"I've said all this just to ask how sincere you are towards her, and how long this sincerity can last? Where do you put her in your position? Will you sacrifice her for your career?"
Yan Zhen pursed her lips and glanced at Chen Huaixu.
"As Zhenzhen's mother, I only want my daughter to be happy. She's very simple, without any scheming or schemes, and she's never been in a relationship before you, so I have to be more cautious. This is a matter that concerns her happiness for the rest of her life. I hope Mr. Chen can understand my good intentions as a mother.
"It's not that you're not good enough, it's that you two aren't suitable." Yan Hui concluded, "If you're just dating and experiencing the beauty of love, then I won't interfere. Zhenzhen will definitely be the happiest person during this time. But if your goal is marriage, then there will be many problems."
As soon as the words were spoken, silence fell in the room.
Chen Huaixu listened quietly and replied, "Aunt, first of all, I want to say that you used the wrong word. I am by no means tolerant of Zhenzhen's personality and temper. She is very good, good in every way, and I like her in a way that you can't imagine. I know you are worried that I am just impulsive, or that I love myself more and my sincerity is limited. I don't know how to prove it to you, but I want to say that in the years I have known her, my love for her has never diminished. From now on, I will only love her more every day.
"Secondly, regarding your career issue, I wouldn't compromise her for my career. The cause and effect are reversed. It's always been because of her that I've been motivated to develop my career."
Yan Zhen's ears felt hot after hearing this, and she wanted to hug him, rub him, and kiss him, but because her parents and brother were there, she could only sit there restrainedly.
Yan Hui's expression showed no joy or anger, but the pressure she had at the beginning had faded a lot.
She looked at Chen Huaixu without saying anything for a long time before she blurted out, "He Xia's annual forecast for this year should be out, right? What percentage point increase is your performance target for this year?"
This involved commercial secrets, but Chen Huaixu trusted the Yan family's character and replied, "30."
"60." Yan Hui's tone left no room for doubt. "Show me a 60 percentage point growth this year."
Performance growth forecasts have always been calculated through precise models. Yan Hui doubled the requirement right from the start, which was tantamount to giving Chen Huaixu a difficult problem.
Yan Zhen was very anxious and just wanted to argue, but Yan Zhao next to her covered her mouth. Yan Zhao whispered in her ear and explained: "Don't worry, Mom has been in business for so many years, she knows what's going on."
After Yan Zhao finished speaking, he flicked her forehead again and said, "You little heartless girl, you're not even married yet and you're already turning your elbows outward. Are you wronging your man?"
As the two of them whispered to each other, Chen Huaixu calmly responded, "No problem."
"At the same time, I don't want Zhenzhen to feel wronged for even a second in this relationship this year. If there's one thing I can't do, I won't give in."
Yan Hui set him extremely high performance standards for the entire year. To meet them, he would be constantly busy. At the same time, she also required him to be serious about his relationship with Yan Zhen and not neglect one for the other.
This is a great test for him.
Yan Hui finally smiled and said, "If Mr. Chen feels embarrassed, he can simply refuse my offer."
"Definitely," Chen Huaixu turned to look at Yan Zhen, "I will definitely do it."
"Also," Yan Hui added, "Zhenzhen is still young and a child herself. Mr. Chen, do you understand what I mean?"
The implication was to warn him not to let Yan Zhen get pregnant at this time.
Chen Huaixu nodded and said, "I understand. You don't need to tell me this. I can't bear to part with it either."
The heavy family meeting finally ended, and the Yan family sent Chen Huaixu to the door of the villa. Yan Hui glanced at Yan Zhao and said, "As a brother, don't you have anything to say?"
"I don't have any problems, I just have one request," Yan Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Can you call me 'brother'?"
Yan Zhen didn't know whether Chen Huaixu called out or not. She waited by the car and put the gift she had given him in it.
"What is this?" Chen Huaixu asked.
"I made these cookies." The two of them stood at the garden gate. Seeing that no one was around, Yan Zhen could finally hug him. She buried her head in his arms clingingly, "They're definitely not burnt this time!"
He hummed, lowered his head to kiss the top of her head, then cupped her cheeks and kissed her lips again and again.
She hooked her fingers around his, raised her eyes to look at him, and said, "How do you feel today? Do you think my mom is too much?"
"No, it's much better than I thought." Chen Huaixu interlocked his fingers with hers. "I originally thought I would encounter greater resistance, but Auntie still showed me mercy."
"Why do I feel like you're just being stubborn?" Yan Zhen was a little skeptical. "A quarter of the year has already passed. Can you still meet the target?"
He said slowly, "If you can't even do this, then I really don't deserve to marry you."
Yan Zhen snorted and said proudly, "You wish. Who would want to marry you?"
"Okay then, I'm going to marry you." Chen Huaixu held her cheeks while smiling, lowered his head and deepened the lingering kiss.
The love and whispers between lovers were blown away by the night wind. They hugged each other tightly, welcoming the new dawn together.
May had already arrived, and Ningchuan's spring was gradually coming to an end. The early summer cicadas were chirping sporadically, and the lush green leaves rustled in the breeze.
Yan Zhen had her thesis defense today, scheduled for the second-to-last position. Luckily, Chen Huaixu had practiced with her. He had pointed out flaws in her thesis with a cold, ruthless expression, so ruthless it was outrageous that the professors who had asked tricky questions today seemed amiable to her, and passing the defense was clearly no problem.
She walked out of the school gate facing the setting sun, and Chen Huaixu was already waiting for her at the door. He was tall and long-legged, with a handsome face, and he was very eye-catching and attracted a lot of attention.
Yan Zhen walked over quickly and took his hand.
"Did you receive the gift?"
"Um?"
"This is the postcard I sent you from western Sichuan." Yan Zhen did not buy a gift for Chen Huaixu at that time. Instead, she chose a postcard, wrote a few words on the back, and put it in the mailbox.
It's been almost a month, it should be delivered soon.
"Not yet. I'll check the mailbox again when I get home today."
"Okay, then wait a little longer."
Today is a date. Yan Zhen didn't let Chen Huaixu drive. The two of them set out from school, took the subway together, walked hand in hand, went shopping and had meals, and were an insignificant couple in the vast crowd.
Although there is nothing special about it, for them, every moment is heart-pounding and special.
Ningchuan was bustling at night. Colorful neon lights flickered, brightening the pitch-black night sky.
The streets are bustling with people and traffic.
Yan Zhen wanted to go to the night market, so Chen Huaixu accompanied her. She was very curious and wanted to see this and try that, but she usually didn't want to eat after just a few bites. The novelty came and went quickly, making Chen Huaixu laugh and cry, but he was willing to follow her and clean up the mess for her.
Coming out of the night market, the two of them strolled along the sidewalk. The cool breeze from the nearby river blew, and her hair rippled, tangling with his fingertips as he held her shoulders.
Yan Zhen was a little greedy and bought an ice cream on the roadside. When Chen Huaixu was paying, she saw the tour bus with open-air seats in the distance and excitedly pulled his sleeve, saying, "Chen Huaixu! I want to ride that!"
So the two of them hurried to the station, bought tickets, got on the bus, and sat directly in the last row.
The tour bus was driving slowly on the road. Yan Zhen leaned in Chen Huaixu's arms, watching the billboards on the roadside flash by one by one in front of her eyes with comfort.
She was licking the ice cream when she saw Chen Huaixu take something out of his pocket and look at it carefully.
"What's this?"
It seems a little familiar.
"The boss gave it to me when I was shopping at the night market just now." He looked at the simple red string and remembered how the enthusiastic boss had just forced it on him. He said it was a marriage guarantee, that it would definitely bring them together and last a lifetime.
Chen Huaixu never believed in these things, but somehow he still put the rope into his pocket.
At this moment, he lowered his head and looked at the rope. After thinking for a while, he twisted the two ends and tied them around her neck.
Yan Zhen was stunned. She watched him tie the red string around her neck and asked in confusion, "What are you doing? This isn't something you hang around your neck, is it?"
Chen Huaixu took out a tissue, wiped the ice cream off her lips, and smiled gently, "I have a gift for you, but I don't have it with me right now, so I'll just make do with this for now."
She said "Oh", lowered her head to look at the red string around her neck, and said, "Why are you giving me a gift again? You've given me so many things these days."
Seeing that she actually complained, Chen Huaixu flicked her forehead lightly with some displeasure and said, "You have a lot of money and it burns quickly. Is that okay?"
She covered her forehead with her free hand, frowned and glared at him coquettishly.
Her cheeks were rosy, making her look particularly charming and alluring in the night.
He lowered his eyes and looked at her, his heart was so moved that he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
Yan Zhen was caught off guard and exclaimed in panic: "Don't... there are so many people here! I haven't finished the ice cream yet... it's melting! Um... you... um..."
Someone in the front row noticed the movement, turned around, and exclaimed in surprise. Soon, everyone in the car turned their attention to the last row. Everyone smiled knowingly, and some even applauded and cheered, asking them to kiss longer.
In the cool night breeze, they embraced and kissed on the tour bus, watched by everyone. The ice cream melted in their mouths, its sweetness seeping into their lips and tongues, and slowly seeping into their hearts.
Every heartbeat made my body numb, and I couldn't help but long for more entanglement with each other.
After the kiss, Chen Huaixu hugged her and asked, "Where do you want to go for your graduation trip?"
Yan Zhen thought for a moment and said, "It's almost summer, I want to go to the beach."
"good."
She leaned on his shoulder and said, "The school's graduation ceremony seems to be at the end of next month. My parents will definitely be there. Do you want to come?"
"Come," he replied. "How could I not come to such an important moment?"
Yan Zhen was very happy. She kissed him on the side of his cheek and said deliberately, "Dress smartly when the time comes. Don't embarrass me in front of my classmates."
He smiled and said, "As you wish."
From now on, he will be involved in every important day of her life.
The final destination for the graduation trip was set in Europe.
Yan Zhen didn't have to do anything at all, as Chen Huaixu arranged everything properly. From the travel route to the hotel, everything was in order.
Medieval-style buildings, a tranquil lakeside at sunset, a fairytale-like town...
The two people stayed away from everything, walking hand in hand freely on the streets of a foreign country, not hiding the intimacy of their passionate love.
That night, after taking a shower, the two of them snuggled up on the sofa in the hotel. Yan Zhen lay in his arms, looking at her phone, reviewing the day's itinerary, picking and choosing a few satisfactory landscape photos to post on her WeChat Moments.
Chen Huaixu rested his chin on the top of her head and looked through the pictures with her. Suddenly, he saw something and tapped the screen with his finger. "You took a picture of me on purpose?"
The photo shows his profile. He is concentrating on looking at the paintings on the museum wall.
"Very handsome," Yan Zhen looked up at him, "You have a very deceptive face."
He lowered his head, and she raised hers, their eyes meeting, neither of them willing to look away. Their minds connected, and without needing to say anything more, the two of them slowly kissed.
The next day, after breakfast, the two took a local tour bus and arrived at a quiet and peaceful town.
The blue-roofed and white-walled buildings in the distance, the colorful graffiti and oil paintings beside the narrow streets, the flowers carefully cultivated at the doors and balconies of each household, the flocks of pigeons flapping their wings on the beach... the sun shines from above, and everything is as beautiful as a painting.
The town is close to the sea, and the two people walked slowly along the stone road to the beach.
The endless sky and the stretching sea met at the horizon. The sun was blazing, and the azure sea shimmered like a layer of gold.
They walked hand in hand on the beach, the sea breeze blowing towards them, blowing up the hem of her skirt. Yan Zhen reached out to press the sun hat and held Chen Huaixu's hand a little tighter.
"Do you like it here?" he asked.
"I like it." She said, "Not only do I like it here, but I like being with you even more."
After saying that, she let go of his hand and ran a few steps towards the beach. The cold sea water flowed over her ankles, gently lapping against her skin.
Chen Huaixu looked at her and smiled, "I like you too."
Love that cannot be expressed in words.
He took two steps towards her and whispered, "Close your eyes."
Yan Zhen was a little confused and blinked, but still obediently closed her eyes slowly.
There was a chill on my neck, as if a thin metal chain was wrapped around it, and a piece of it hung down from my chest, cold and hard, like a gem.
Chen Huaixu fastened the necklace behind her neck, then walked back in front of her and said, "Open your eyes, baby."
Yan Zhen opened her eyes and looked down. The translucent blue gem reflected the clear light in the sunlight, which was incredibly beautiful.
It was the necklace with the design theme of "Goddess of Love" that she and Ying Shu had seen in the jewelry store last time.
"It's very beautiful and suits you very well," Chen Huaixu looked at the necklace with a satisfied look, "It's even more beautiful than I imagined."
He tucked her windblown hair behind her ears and said, "Happy birthday, my princess."
Yan Zhen bit her lip and said, "You haven't reacted since you woke up this morning. I thought you forgot."
"How could I forget?" He gently touched her cheek. "I have prepared many surprises for you. I will definitely not let you down."
She lowered her head, fondling the gemstone, and asked, "You bought this necklace a long time ago, right?"
He was a little surprised that she knew about this, and nodded: "Yes, I have wanted to give it to you for a long time."
Yan Zhen couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, then lowered her head to look at the necklace, her eyes unconsciously covered with a layer of mist: "You're so annoying, you're going to make me cry."
Chen Huaixu smiled and held her in his arms, then whispered softly in her ear, "I love you."
The everlasting and touching love words are only told to her.
His love goddess.
His Aphrodite.
The two people hugged each other and kissed on the beach, saying sweet words to each other intimately, and then continued to walk forward.
The cuddling figures gradually became smaller until they disappeared completely, while the waves on the beach remained the same.
In the past, Chen Huaixu sometimes felt that she was like the tide, coming and going freely, while he was the sand waiting on the shore. A heart, restrained by self, waiting year after year, was scorched by the scorching sun.
Fortunately, the attraction of love finally brought her favor, the tide embraced the shore, and he got what he wanted.
