The lights in the bedroom weren't turned on. Qiao Anhao pushed open the bedroom door and instinctively reached for the light switch on the wall. Before she could press it, she realized that there was light in the bedroom. She furrowed her brows and walked in. Then, she froze on the spot.
Under her feet were two parallel candles. In the middle, there was about a meter wide path. It was like a small path, winding around the bed and sofa, leading to the balcony. It was even brighter inside.
With the light from the candles, Qiao Anhao saw that the four walls of the bedroom were covered with pink and purple balloons. On the wall facing the television, there were the words "Happy Birthday" written in balloons.
It was a familiar scene. Qiao Anhao stood on the spot for a long time before walking towards the balcony along the candles. Just as she walked around the sofa, she saw that the balcony was densely packed with lit candles. The orange flames flickered continuously, making the unlit candles in the middle stand out. It was especially eye-catching. It was clearly the words: Qiao Qiao, Happy Birthday.
This was clearly the surprise she had prepared for Lu Jinnian on his birthday.
Just as Qiao Anhao was immersed in shock, unable to process what was going on, she heard familiar footsteps behind her.
Qiao Anhao instinctively turned her head. She saw Lu Jinnian still wearing the suit he had worn for the press conference in the afternoon. He was holding a cake with lit candles in his hands, walking calmly and elegantly along the candles' path towards her.
The candles on the floor shone ambiguously on his face, dyeing it with a faint layer of milky yellow, making him look even more handsome. His eyes reflected the candlelight, looking exceptionally bright.
Qiao Anhao stared at Lu Jinnian, who was approaching her step by step. She was in a daze, thinking that it was all an illusion.
Lu Jinnian stopped when he was about half a meter away from her. He held the cake in front of her with both hands, staring into her eyes with a rare look of concentration and seriousness. He said in a magnetic voice, "Because of time constraints, I didn't have the time to personally make a cake like you, so I could only get my assistant to order one from Black Swan."
When Qiao Anhao had seen the scene in the bedroom, she had already suspected that Lu Jinnian knew what she had planned for the night of his birthday. Now that she heard his words, she was completely sure. She looked at him, her voice trembling. "You knew?"
Lu Jinnian knew what she was asking. He blinked slightly, his gaze still clear. He first nodded slightly, then said, "Yes, I knew."
Qiao Anhao moved her lips, wanting to ask how he knew, but before she could ask, Lu Jinnian opened his mouth again. He told her what he had been wanting to say ever since he had returned to Mian Xiu Garden on the second day of his birthday and found out that he had missed the surprise she had prepared for him. "I'm very sorry, I was in a bad mood that night and hurt you. I'm also very sorry that I missed the surprise you gave me."
"I want to apologize for that night." Lu Jinnian paused for a moment, then added, "I also want to thank you for that night."
Through the flickering candles, Qiao Anhao stared at the handsome and charming man in front of her, her eyes turning moist.
