The fireworks show lasted a full fifteen minutes before it slowly ca to an end.
Chen Xin closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently made her birthday wish.
Just as everyone thought the show was over, tiny points of starlight suddenly began to rise from the ground.
"Could it not be over?"
As the crowd in the county town watched in confusion, the countless points of light suddenly ford a sentence in the sky.
[Happy Birthday, Chen Xin!]
That’s when everyone realized—it was drones!
And they all knew now that this fireworks show was for a woman nad Chen Xin.
At that mont, all the won who had witnessed the entire scene were overco with envy.
It was just too romantic!
Listening to the envious sighs of the won around them, the n could only lant that this was a rich man’s romance—the kind they could never hope to imitate.
After all, that wasn’t fireworks they were setting off; it was piles of cash.
As for the man responsible, Xu Yun was also a little surprised and caught off guard when he saw the drones at the end.
He figured this was a segnt Yu Xuan had added on her own initiative.
But he had to admit, it was beautifully done!
Chen Xin finished her wish, opened her eyes, and saw the spectacle before her.
Already feeling touched and filled with happiness, her eyes imdiately reddened!
A birthday like this, a scene straight out of a romance drama—it was sothing she had never even dread of.
She never thought it would happen to her.
’It feels like a dream!’
"You’re not supposed to cry on your birthday. You should be happy," Xu Yun said, reaching out to wipe the tears from her face.
"And whose fault is that?"
Chen Xin pouted, half-crying and half-laughing. "When you rich guys decide to be romantic, no woman can resist! It’s totally cheating!"
"It was alright, I guess."
Xu Yun rembered that Chen Xin seed to have made a wish earlier and asked curiously, "Did you make a wish just now?"
"Mhm."
"What did you wish for?"
Chen Xin refused. "My grandma said you can’t tell anyone your wish, or it won’t co true."
"Co on, tell . I’m a little curious."
Xu Yun said, "What if it’s a wish I can make co true?"
Seeing how eager Xu Yun was to know her wish, Chen Xin hesitated for a mont before finally revealing it.
"I wished for you to love , and for to get rich."
After saying it, Chen Xin suddenly grew lancholic. "But now that I’ve said it, it won’t co true."
"Hey, you’re pretty selfish."
"What do you an?"
Xu Yun retorted, "Why not wish for you to love , and for to get rich?"
"Because I already love you, and you’re already rich."
"..." Xu Yun was speechless.
Chen Xin’s words left him silent for a mont.
The power of innocent love was potent.
He smiled. "Well, I hope both of your wishes co true."
After dinner, the two left the hotel. Xu Yun hailed a cab and took Chen Xin ho.
She still had to write and post an update, after all.
Such is the life of a humble author.
As they neared her door, Chen Xin suddenly turned around, stood on her tiptoes, and gave Xu Yun a quick kiss on the lips.
"..." Xu Yun was speechless again.
"That’s to thank you for tonight’s gift. Nothing more," she said.
After the kiss, Chen Xin couldn’t help but ask another question.
"Xu Yun, have you ever felt anything for ? Even for a second."
"..." Xu Yun remained silent.
"You don’t have to answer. I was just asking."
Chen Xin then smiled. "Goodnight. I was very happy today. Thank you for celebrating my birthday with . See you tomorrow."
With that, she turned, opened her door, and went inside.
A good woman doesn’t put a man in an awkward position.
Once ho, she leaned back against the door, a hint of sorrow in her eyes.
She had taken great care in dressing up beautifully for her date and birthday celebration with Xu Yun today.
But when she was with Xu Yun, she still found her gaze subconsciously wavering, lacking confidence.
It wasn’t because Xu Yun disliked her, but because she was a bit greedy. She wanted all of Xu Yun.
A Xu Yun who belonged only to her.
But a thought like that was surely impossible to realize.
She was innocent, but not stupid. In fact, she could read people’s hearts more clearly than most.
Perhaps because of a past relationship, Xu Yun was now guarded and distrustful of all won.
As a result, his affection for won was only superficial.
Including herself.
She thought—
’If only I were a little more beautiful, then maybe his heart would be moved by .’
Outside the door, Xu Yun gave a helpless smile.
He took a deep breath and turned to knock on his own door, but it suddenly swung open.
His mom, Zhang Sujuan, was standing in the doorway, a happy expression on her face. "Back from celebrating Chen Xin’s birthday, are you?"
"Yeah. Are you happy now?"
Xu Yun couldn’t help but roll his eyes at his mom. He walked into the house and grumbled, "You wouldn’t even let your own son in the house because of your little sche."
"You rascal, you’ve finally gotten a clue! You even know how to plan a surprise."
Zhang Sujuan smiled. "That girl, Chen Xin, she must have been really touched by you, right?"
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending! The fireworks show!"
Xu Yun: "..."
Tonight’s fireworks show had been so high-profile, of course Zhang Sujuan had seen it.
At first, she didn’t know her son was behind it, but after seeing the birthday ssage ford by the drones at the end, she guessed.
This was one hundred percent her son’s masterpiece.
She had been so relieved at the ti. Her son had finally wised up.
Although the display must have cost a fortune, in Zhang Sujuan’s eyes, it was money well spent.
It was much better than Xu Yun buying her so luxury clothes.
"So, how are things progressing between you two?"
Zhang Sujuan asked with concern, "You two should be together by now, right?"
"We’re not."
"You’re not?"
Zhang Sujuan said in surprise, "But I just saw her take the initiative to kiss you. And you’re still not together?"
