Lin Weiye's knife and fork kept cutting into the juicy steak in front of him, his movements skillful and graceful, as if he was completely immersed in the delicious meal. However, when he heard the voice beside him, he simply raised his head and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. Then, with a hint of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction, he uttered a low, "Hmm." Although the response was brief, the emotion contained in it was hard to ignore.

Xu Yingying, who was sitting opposite him, was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent. She knew in her heart that she had been so busy recently that she hadn't even noticed that it was Lin Weiye's birthday today.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying couldn't help but feel a wave of guilt welling up in her heart. To her surprise, Lin Weiye was not only so considerate and proactive in reminding her of this important day, but he also very conscientiously prepared a sumptuous birthday meal for her in advance. Looking at the delicious food in front of her, Xu Yingying couldn't help but feel a little sad.

At this moment, Lin Weiye slowly spoke, "I have an appointment tonight that I can't turn down. That's why I thought I'd call you out for lunch." His tone was calm, as if he was already accustomed to this kind of situation. However, even if he didn't have any social engagements tonight, Xu Yingying might not have remembered that it was his birthday. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that Lin Weiye looked a little pitiful at the moment.

Xu Yingying couldn't help but cough twice, trying to break the slightly awkward atmosphere. Then, she looked into Albert Lin's eyes and said seriously, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll give you the gift tonight." After saying this, she secretly made up her mind to carefully select a special gift for Albert Lin to make up for her neglect of his birthday.

When Lin Weiye heard Xu Yingying agree to give him a birthday present, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a smile that was hard to hide, and he softly replied, "Okay."

However, Xu Yingying on the side suddenly fell silent, muttering to herself: Why did Lin Weiye's reaction seem to have known that he would give him a gift? Could it be that he had been looking forward to this gift? Thinking of this, Xu Yingying couldn't help feeling a little confused and uneasy.

It was afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly, but choosing a gift for Lin Weiye was a real headache for Xu Yingying. Unable to think of a gift that would please him, Xu Yingying decided to go shopping at the mall, hoping for some inspiration. However, after wandering around the mall and looking at countless items, she still felt unsatisfied. Finally, in desperation, Xu Yingying left empty-handed and returned to the office.

Meanwhile, Lin Weiye was busy having dinner with an important client. The two chatted happily, and before he knew it, Lin Weiye had a few more drinks. By the time the dinner ended, the night had darkened, and the time had quietly reached 11:30 pm. Although Lin Weiye was a little tipsy, he still thought about the birthday present he hadn't received yet.

When Lin Weiye returned home, his steps were heavy, and he found Xu Yingying already asleep. He tiptoed through the bedroom, living room, and study, searching them thoroughly, hoping to find the gift Xu Yingying had carefully prepared for him. But to his great disappointment, the gift was nowhere to be found.

After washing up, Lin Weiye lay in bed, feeling a tightness in his chest. He tried hard to suppress his inner dissatisfaction, but in the end, he couldn't help it and gently nudged his wife who was sleeping beside him.

Xu Yingying was awakened by the sudden movement and said with a hint of sleepiness and impatience, "I didn't buy anything suitable." After that, she turned over and continued to sleep. When Lin Weiye heard this, the sense of loss in his heart became even stronger.

Lin Weiye's face was filled with depression and disappointment, muttering, "Alas...what a false alarm!" He thought indignantly, how could this person go back on his word? He had clearly promised to buy him a gift before!

Thinking back to the last time he received a gift from her, it seemed as if it was still vivid in his mind, except that the gifts at that time were just a few ordinary shirts. Thinking of this, Lin Weiye couldn't help but shake his head and sighed secretly.

At this moment, he gently turned Xu Yingying, who was sleeping soundly beside him, over so that she was facing him. However, this action accidentally woke Xu Yingying up. Xu Yingying was sleepy and her face was full of anger. She yelled angrily: "What are you doing! You can't let me sleep well in the middle of the night!"

But at this moment, Lin Weiye was like a child who hadn't gotten his favorite toy, completely ignoring Xu Yingying's anger. He quickly leaned over and blocked Xu Yingying's mouth, then whispered, "Baby, I want to open the gift!"

Xu Yingying slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness gradually regaining consciousness. She rubbed her eyes, adjusting to the surrounding light, and subconsciously turned her head to look beside her. However, to her surprise, Lin Weiye, who was supposed to be lying there, was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Yingying felt a little confused and lost. She sat up and looked around for any trace of Lin Weiye, but there was no sign of anyone else in the room except herself.

She gathered herself and turned her gaze to the bedside table, where she found her watch lying quietly. She reached for it and, upon seeing the time on the dial, her mouth dropped open in surprise—it was already twelve o'clock! She couldn't believe she had slept for so long, and only woke up around noon.

Lin Weiye came three or four times yesterday and gave her a lot of trouble.

Was it his birthday or some medicine he was taking? He was so energetic.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth in the early morning, Xu Yingying had already hurried to the company. She was tidying up her slightly messy hair while walking quickly towards the elevator.

As soon as she entered the company gate, Yu Lili, who was walking towards her, couldn't wait to tell her: "Yingying, someone is coming to interview for the operation position in our company today." Xu Yingying nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and then walked straight to her office without stopping.
