“But my birthday is…” Her birthday was the day after tomorrow.
She was cut off before she could finish, “The day after tomorrow, 1 have to fly to Country A; 1 won’t be here. Tomorrow 1 have some important meetings and can’t spare any time either.”
So he decided to celebrate it in advance for her today? Chi Enen couldn’t quite pinpoint her feelings, but suddenly felt that the man before her wasn’t as terrible as she had imagined. Her lips moved slightly, and it took a while before she heard her own hoarse voice say, “Actually, there’s no need to celebrate my birthday specifically; I’m not used to it.”
From childhood to adulthood, she never needed to celebrate her birthday.
Gu Qiaomei could tolerate her presence in the Chi family, which was the greatest concession already. She could never be magnanimous enough to remember the birthday of her ‘husband’s evidence of betrayal’ and wouldn’t bring it up on her own accord to add to her distress. Dad… perhaps for the same reason, also never mentioned her birthday.
Her aunt always blamed her for the death of her biological mother and never thought of celebrating her birthday for her. Only Grandfather would give her a piece of sugar on that day, patting her head and sighing endlessly.
Even she had almost forgotten her own birthday.
Chi Enen felt a bit bewildered.
Birthday, huh… She remembered how, as a child, she watched Chi Ya celebrate her birthday lively and boisterously. She herself hid outside, not daring to go home, only able to look enviously through the window at the happy family gathering inside.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the sourness tumbling in her heart, and let out a sigh.
It’s alright; she had grown up now, she had Baby Chi, she was no longer alone. Compared to the envy she felt watching Chi Ya’s birthday, she now felt more satisfaction in celebrating Baby Chi’s birthday! She was never one to wallow in self-pity; Grandfather had it right—appreciate what you have, and you learn to be happy.
Li Beijue saw every change in her expression. When he noticed the sadness in her eyes as she mentioned her birthday, his heart felt as if it had been fiercely squeezed, leaving him breathless.
“Chi Enen, from now on, you will have this habit; it will happen every year,” he said definitively, as if making a promise.
Chi Enen was startled by his “every year” and moved her mouth to speak, but before she could, the man spoke first, “1 know you are touched right now, and there’s no need to thank me. Just be good from now on, and cause me less trouble; that’d be the best way to thank me.”
“…” Chi Enen’s face was filled with black lines, and the tiny flame of gratitude in her heart was instantly extinguished.
Indeed, he was a domineering paranoid. She shouldn’t have expected too much..
