Lu Jinnian wanted to say something, but he felt as though something was stuck in his throat. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He stared at Qiao Anhao for a long time, trying his best to suppress the shock of her three consecutive "Happy Birthday" s. Even so, his deliberately cold voice still trembled a little. "How did you know it's my birthday today?"
Ugh... She had only wanted to buy him a birthday present, to give him a surprise, but she had forgotten that she had eavesdropped on his birthday.
Qiao Anhao blushed slightly. She bit the corner of her lips, and with an awkward smile, she said honestly, "The day before yesterday, when I came upstairs to call you for dinner, I accidentally overheard your conversation with your assistant..."
Qiao Anhao raised her eyes to size up Lu Jinnian's expression. When she realized that there wasn't much of a change, she gathered her courage and continued, "Then, I found out that it was your birthday."
Qiao Anhao's voice became softer and softer, and when she reached the last word, she went silent. However, Lu Jinnian understood what she meant.
So when his assistant complained that Friday was also his birthday, she had been standing outside the study room.
For the first time in his life, Lu Jinnian felt that having a talkative assistant wasn't a bad thing.
Qiao Anhao didn't hear Lu Jinnian's voice, so she lifted her eyelids to sneak a glance at him.
Lu Jinnian's expression didn't change much. Deep in his eyes, there seemed to be some sort of emotion, but at the same time, there didn't seem to be anything there.
Qiao Anhao couldn't tell if he was unhappy behind Lu Jinnian's cold expression, so she raised the gift box in her hands a little higher. As though trying to please him, she said, "This is your birthday present. I chose it when I went shopping with Xiaxia the day before yesterday."
Lu Jinnian blinked lightly, his dark pupils quietly staring at Qiao Anhao for a while. Then, he reached out to take the gift box from her hands.
No one noticed that his fingertips were trembling.
As if to control his emotions, Lu Jinnian asked for the first time, "What gift is it?"
Hearing his question, Qiao Anhao was completely at ease. Looking at his slightly relaxed brows, her mood brightened up, and she replied cutely, "The gift has to be opened without knowing what it is. That's the only way to find out."
"Really?" Lu Jinnian asked casually. His slender fingers hooked open the seal on the gift box, then tore open the packaging to reveal a golden velvet box. Opening it, there was an exquisite tie clip sitting quietly inside.
Under the light of the room, the diamonds embedded on the surface reflected a dazzling light, piercing Lu Jinnian's eyes with an inexplicable heat.
In the past, when he was with his mother, their living conditions were not good. How could they have extra money to buy gifts for him? Even the cake was secretly brought back by his mother from the nightclub where she worked. That was probably the only present he got for his birthday.
After his mother passed away, no one cared about his birthday anymore, so even he himself didn't care about it anymore.
But he didn't expect that he would receive such an exquisite and touching gift one day.
And this gift was from the girl he had loved for so many years.
