As they were gossiping, someone suddenly let out a scream, a blast that triggered a flurry of boos. The noise spread quickly, like a whirlwind, sweeping through the entire courtyard. Everyone's attention was drawn to the courtyard gate, curiously peeked in, wanting to know what had happened.
Wen Ning was still immersed in casual conversation with his friends, oblivious to the commotion outside. It wasn't until the noises in the yard grew louder, attracting the attention of the others, that they realized something serious was happening. Confused, they all popped their heads out, trying to understand what was going on. Then, they all headed towards the yard, eager to investigate.
When they arrived at the courtyard, they found it packed with people. However, everyone's gaze was fixed on Wen Ning, their eyes filled with envy. Wen Ning was completely confused and stood there, stunned. Following the crowd's gaze, she saw a brand new sports car parked in the middle of the courtyard.
Lu Shiyan was stepping out of the sports car, his figure particularly eye-catching. Wen Ning's eyes were instantly fixed on him, unable to extricate themselves. She walked towards him involuntarily, her steps a little nervous. Finally, she stood in front of him, her face showing surprise and joy.
Lu Shiyan had originally intended to give Wen Ning a surprise, but he hadn't expected his gift of a car to cause such a stir. He smiled helplessly, walked through the crowd, and slowly approached her. When he reached Wen Ning, everyone around him stepped aside, leaving enough space between him and Wen Ning.
Lu Shiyan looked at Wen Ning tenderly, his lips curled up, and he said softly, "Ningning, happy birthday."
Wen Ning's eyes moistened, tears welling up in them. She looked at Lu Shiyan with emotion, then asked with surprise, "Is this for me?"
Lu Shiyan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, do you like it?"
Wen Ning was so excited that she could hardly speak. She nodded repeatedly and replied with a choked voice, "I like it! I like it very much! Why did you give me such an expensive gift?"
It was a limited edition sports car, only 10 in the world, a supercar you couldn't buy even with money, and he actually gave it to her as a birthday present. How could she not be excited? Besides, she was particularly fond of supercars.
Lu Shiyan handed the bunch of keys to her hand and said affectionately, "I give it to you. Even if it's the moon in the sky, I think it's too cheap. It's just a sports car. You can afford it."
Wen Ning looked at the key in his hand and couldn't hold back any longer. He hugged him, and the people around him cheered. Wei Mingyu looked at the two people hugging in the crowd, his hands tightened slightly, and he couldn't help but look away. He left the crowd disappointed and quietly returned to the living room to drink alone.
"What's wrong? Are you drinking alone?" After the crowd dispersed, everyone came back in groups of three or four. When Zhang Lei returned to his hometown, he saw him drinking alone and couldn't help but feel strange.
"No, I just suddenly wanted to drink." Wei Mingyu returned to his usual self and replied indifferently.
Zhang Lei didn't take it seriously and turned to talk about what had just happened. "Did you see that supercar just now? It's so cool! It's something you can't buy even if you have money." His face was full of envy. It was a limited edition, no more than ten, and it was a supercar he had been trying to buy for a long time. He was staring at it.
Wei Mingyu nodded lightly and stopped talking. Zhang Lei didn't care either. He probably thought that Wei Mingyu was not interested in these things, so he turned to chat with other people.
A group of people at the table were chatting enthusiastically about what they had just seen. Some were envious of the supercars, some were envious of the relationships. Anyway, it was right to be envious.
Wen Ning pulled Lu Shiyan inside and asked as they walked, "When did you buy it?"
“It was decided a long time ago.”
"Have you planned this in advance? You haven't told me yet, just to give me a surprise?" Wen Ning suddenly remembered that she had been asking him before, but he refused to tell her and insisted on telling her the secret. As a result, this secret today made her dizzy and she was so happy.
"I told you, where's the surprise?" Lu Shiyan was amused by her little expression.
"Dad asked you to cut the cake." Wen Heng walked over from a distance and saw her smile, which was worthless. He couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. Is it really that serious? A supercar has made her so dizzy.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute." Wen Ning wanted to stay with him for a while and have a few words, but Wen Heng couldn't stand her expression and rudely sent her away, saying, "Go ahead. It'll only take two minutes. It won't be long. Your boyfriend won't get lost. I'll help you watch him."
Wen Ning gritted her teeth. Her brother was really bringing up things that were not relevant to her. She couldn't help but say bitterly, "I know."
Then she turned her head, raised a sweet smile, and said to Lu Shiyan softly: "Then I will go cut the cake first and come over to bring it to you later."
Wen Heng couldn't help but look away when he saw her like this. Her expression changed so quickly.
"Well, go ahead." Lu Shiyan touched her head lovingly. Wen Ning ignored his brother's face and left with a smile.
Wen Heng said sourly, "Tell me, what kind of magic potion did you give her to turn her into this?"
Lu Shiyan glanced at him and said, "Maybe it's because I'm more handsome."
Wen Heng vomited blood, "Do you have any shame?"
After Wen Ning finished cutting the cake, she asked the housekeeper to divide the cake. She then handed one of the small pieces she had cut to Lu Shiyan, which made Wen Heng beside her so angry that he called her an ungrateful person. He thought that this piece was for him, but in the end, his sister had no conscience at all and actually handed it to Lu Shiyan. He was so angry that he felt a little upset, while the brothers beside him all laughed and teased Wen Heng, saying that his sister was too old to be kept.
Wen Ning handed him the cake and left, turning around to chat with a few friends.
Before they knew it, the party was almost over, and they were clamoring to go to the KTV box to sing. According to their usual practice, they would move on to the next place after eating the cake, and this year was no exception. After a while, they started to make noises. Wen Ning didn't want to go at first; she wanted to spend some time alone with Lu Shiyan, but she couldn't resist and had to agree.
So, she found Lu Shiyan and came over to say hello to him. Lu Shiyan was chatting with others about business matters at the moment. She quietly walked over to him, tugged at his sleeve, pointed to the friends on the other side, and whispered, "I'm going to sing with them."
Lu Shiyan glanced at them, then lowered his head and said, "Well, go ahead. I'll pick you up later."
