Like you in the sun

The doorbell rang and the nanny opened the door. Several waiters in suits from a top high-end cake brand pushed a nine-layer cake that was three or four meters high and carefully placed it in the living room.

After everyone stood side by side, they bowed at a 45-degree angle and said in unison: "Happy birthday, Mr. Lin."

They all took a few steps back and left the villa.

Chen Yang spent more than one million to customize a birthday cake for Lin Yijun, which looked extremely grand.

Lin Fanyin walked to the cake and admired it, saying, "It's so beautiful, and it's still glowing."

Chen Yang touched Lin Fanyin's head and said with a doting smile, "You little heartless guy, when did your uncle not give you a cake on your birthday? You seem to have never seen the world."

Lin Fanyin: "Not as pretty as dad's cake."

Chen Yang: "My uncle gave my little friend a more beautiful birthday gift on New Year's Eve this year."

Lin Fanyin: “Yeah.”

Exquisite dishes began to be served on the table one by one, and people began to take their seats.

Lin Fanyin pulled guards Zhu Yi and Peng Ning in from outside the villa and sat them down.

He ran into the kitchen in a hurry.

Lin Yijun: "Yinyin, why don't you come over for dinner."

Chen Yang looked at Lin Yijun without saying anything, but the smile on his face seemed to say it all.

After a while, Lin Fanyin walked up to Lin Yijun with a bowl of longevity noodles and said, "Happy birthday, Dad. Is this the longevity noodles that my uncle and I made for you?"

"I wish my father a happy and successful career every year. May he be promoted step by step. May he always be happy and joyful."

"Dad, I love you."

Lin Yijun's eyes were moist and her heart was filled with warmth.

Pulling her daughter's snow-white and soft hand, which was a little red from the heat, she asked distressedly, "Yinyin, does it hurt?"

Lin Fanyin: "It's okay, Dad."

Chen Yang took Lin Fanyin's hand and blew it gently, saying, "Why don't you ask your uncle to bring it over?"

Lin Yijun finished the bowl of longevity noodles which didn't taste very good, but he felt it was the most delicious.

Chen Yang stood up, raised his glass, and wished, "Happy birthday, brother-in-law."

Lin Xuejian: "Happy birthday, Junjun."

Jiang Jiaxin and Chen Yanchang also raised their glasses and wished: "Ajun, happy birthday."

Zhu Yi and Peng Ning raised their drinks and wished, "Happy birthday, General."

The dining table was filled with laughter, celebration, and a joyful atmosphere. Birthday songs were sung and cakes were eaten.

After dinner, Chen Yang played the piano and Lin Fanyin danced.

Everyone had a smile on their face, and their hearts were filled with the lively and warm joy and happiness.

It was already late at night, and Lin Xuejian and his friends were ready to go back.

Lin Fanyin stood in front of the car and said, "Grandpa, grandma, and grandpa, goodbye. I will visit you later."

Jiang Jiaxin: "Yinyin, go back to the house. It's too cold outside. Grandpa and grandpa have work tomorrow so they won't be staying at home."

Lin Xuejian: "Junjun, you should spend more time with your daughter. This child has not been with you since she was young, but now she is so close to you. It is really rare, and you are very lucky."

After a moment of shameful silence, Lin Yijun replied, "Dad, I will."

After seeing off a few elderly people, he took his daughter back to the living room.

Chen Yang and Lin Yijun sat on the sofa and had a long and heart-to-heart talk.

Lin Yijun: "Ayang, drink less. Yinyin will be angry again if she sees you drinking so much!"

Chen Yang: "Are you happy today?"

Lin Yijun: "Ayang, you know what? When Yinyin brought the longevity noodles to me, I really experienced what the family happiness that people yearn for is."

"But in my heart I feel like I owe Yinyin even more."

"Before, I was just busy with work, and I knew I had a daughter. Every time I saw Yinyin, I felt very close to her."

"But it's different now. I feel especially strongly about Yinyin."

"I always want Yinyin to stay by my side all the time. My heart melts just looking at her."

"Now I can give up everything for Yinyin! I can even give my life to Yinyin!"

Chen Yang: "Brother-in-law, Yinyin loves you very much."

Lin Yijun: "I was 31 when I gave birth to Yinyin. I still remember the joy of being a father for the first time."

Chen Yang looked at Lin Fanyin who was playing with the guards, took a sip of red wine and said with some melancholy: "Yinyin has grown up."

Lin Yijun: "You can't bear to part with it, right?"

Chen Yang: “Yeah.”

Lin Yijun: "I can't bear to let her go either. My heart aches when I think about Yinyin getting married."

Chen Yang: "After Yinyin got into trouble in Jinghai, I was really, really afraid of losing her."

Both of them seemed to be a little drunk.

Lin Yijun drank the red wine in one gulp and said, "Then stay with me."

"As long as Yinyin is willing, I won't stop you."

"I don't allow Yinyin to date because I don't want my daughter to get married too early."

Chen Yang remained silent, but his eyes were completely on Lin Fanyin.

Lin Yijun picked up another glass of red wine and drank it all, as if he wanted to use the alcohol to express what was on his mind. He asked, "Ayang, when are you going to tell Yinyin?"

After drinking the red wine in the glass, Chen Yang replied: "Maybe in three years."

Lin Yijun: "New Year's Eve three years from now?"

Chen Yang: “Yeah.”

Lin Yijun: "Maybe we don't have to wait that long."

Chen Yang: "Wait until my child's coming-of-age ceremony on New Year's Eve three years from now."

"If I count carefully, half of this year has already passed. Two and a half years have passed very quickly. But I hope it goes slower, and I also hope it goes faster."

Lin Yijun: "You are worried!"

Lin Fanyin ran up to the two of them, looked at the empty bottle, and asked, "Dad, uncle, why did you drink so much?"

When Chen Yang was about to drink from the wine glass, Lin Fanyin snatched it away and said, "Don't drink anymore."

At this time, Lin Yijun's phone rang and he answered it and said, "Hello, Xue."

Chen Xue: "Happy birthday, Yijun."

Lin Yijun: “Thank you.”

Chen Xue: "Yijun, congratulations on your promotion to general."

Lin Yijun: “Thank you.”

Chen Xue: "Yijun..."

He hung up the phone without saying anything else.

Naturally, Lin Yijun's heart was also in turmoil.

Lin Fanyin threw herself into Lin Yijun's arms and said with distressed eyes: "Dad?"

Lin Yijun: “Hmm?”

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, if you knew that the result would be a heart full of scars, would you still choose to meet Mom by mistake?"

Lin Yijun: "Sweetheart, how could you exist otherwise?"

Lin Fanyin: "As long as mom and dad are happy, it doesn't matter if I'm not there."

Lin Yijun gently stroked her daughter's face in her arms and said with a smile, "How can Daddy be happy without my baby Yinyin?"

"Dad wants to thank your mom forever for giving me such a lovely daughter."
