This birthday is so ironic.

She sat on the sofa, letting the night spread, and the darkness swallowed her up bit by bit.

The city lights outside the window are bright, and the street lamps are emitting light, illuminating the way home under people's feet. The sensor lights in the room remained turned off because no one was moving around.

Lin Dongyu's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness. The light from outside was projected in, and the indoor furnishings showed vague outlines in the dark mist.

I don’t want to move or think.

The night is getting darker, and the clock on the wall points to eleven o'clock.

There was a soft knock on the door, and someone pushed it open from the outside, breaking the stagnant silence in the room.

Lin Dongyu was awakened by the sound and asked, "Is it the second sister?"

Mo Chen's voice sounded worried and anxious: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Why don't you turn on the light?"

Following his footsteps, the sensor lights lit up one by one.

He quickly walked to the sofa and saw Lin Dongyu sitting there, motionless like a sculpture.

Without time to think, he squatted in front of her, held her fingers in his palms, and apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, I rushed back after the meeting this morning. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you in advance."

"Dong'er, I didn't forget your birthday. I'm back."

The financial forum was held this morning. He squeezed time and went straight to the airport after finishing his speech. He took a twelve-hour international flight just to appear in front of Lin Dongyu before twelve o'clock to celebrate her birthday.

The warmth rose bit by bit from the fingertips where the two of them touched, dispelling the numbness in their hearts.

Lin Dongyu held his hand with his backhand and said, "I'm fine."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was extremely dry and even her throat was bitter.

"You still said it's okay?"

Mo Chen stood up, held her in his arms and rubbed her, then took a glass of warm water and handed it to her, saying, "Drink some water first."

"I've only been away for a few days, why don't you know how to take care of yourself?" He complained, "I won't dare to go on business trips anymore if you look like this."

The warm water moistened his throat. Lin Dongyu suddenly smiled and swallowed back the words he wanted to ask him.

"I'm really fine. I'm just thinking about the work I did years ago and I'm lost in thought."

She looked at the luggage placed at the entrance and asked, "Aren't you going to celebrate my birthday? What have you prepared?"

Mo Chen looked at her for a moment, and seeing her expression as usual, he smiled and said, "Of course I have prepared a gift for you, but I don't know if you are satisfied with it or not."

He first took out a beautiful cake box from the paper bag and put it on the coffee table, and said, "You make cakes for others. It's your turn to eat cake today."

Lin Dongyu opened the ribbon carefully tied into a bow and pulled the cake out of the wrapping paper box.

It was a white double-layered cheesecake. On the top layer was a beautiful girl made of white chocolate. Her eyebrows and body contours were very similar to hers. She was wearing a white stand-up collared double-layered lace wedding dress.

"It was the first time I saw you, but it wasn't because of me." Mo Chen said, "During this time, I always think about when you can wear a wedding dress for me."

He was testing, but Lin Dongyu did not answer his words and only said: "The cake is good."

Mo Chen smiled and said, "It's far worse than you. I had someone customize it before I went abroad. I picked it up as soon as I got off the plane, which wasted a little time."

Lin Dongyu looked at him blankly, tears slowly welling up in his eyes.

She doesn't understand.

While he was coaxing her carefully, he was also deceiving her.

What virtue and ability could she have to let him put so much effort into her?

What is he planning?

Seeing the sparkling light in the corner of her eyes, Mo Chen immediately panicked and said hurriedly: "What's wrong? Dong'er, don't cry."

Lin Dongyu sniffed and said, "It's nothing, just a little touched."

"Scared me."

He scraped the bridge of her nose affectionately and said, "I haven't even given out my birthday gift, and you're already moved?"

Mo Chen pulled the suitcase to him, opened it, took out a small and exquisite Leica camera, handed it to her, and said, "I unpacked it. It won't go through customs if it's packed."

What a beautiful mirrorless camera.

The thick and textured lapis lazuli blue magnesium alloy body, full-frame lens, exquisite and compact design, and outstanding performance represent the pinnacle of industrial design.

It feels heavy in the hand and the size is just right.

"Why did you think of buying this?" Lin Dongyu asked him.
