Shen Nian was pulled to the balcony by her roommates. She hurriedly took off her coat, which was covered in cream, and just wiped the cake off her face. When the four of them squeezed onto the balcony, Shen Nian looked down and sure enough, she saw the uncle's car parked downstairs.

Uncle...when did you arrive?

Shen Nian hurriedly turned around and went back to her dormitory to find her phone, and sure enough, she saw a WeChat message from Mo Ze.

[Niannian, I'm downstairs at your dorm.]

She sent it half an hour ago. At that time, the group of them were cutting the cake, and her phone was in her bag, so she didn't notice the message notification.

Shen Nian hurriedly grabbed a coat, put it on, and headed outside. She called out to the three people still on the balcony, "I'm going out for a bit," then closed the door and ran downstairs.

As Shen Nian rushed out of the dormitory building, Mo Ze saw her and got out of the car.

Shen Nian stood slightly out of breath in front of Mo Ze and explained, "I'm sorry, Uncle, I wasn't looking at my phone and didn't know you sent me a WeChat message..."

Moze smiled and said, "It's alright."

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Shen Nian still felt quite apologetic.

"It's okay, I'll just rest in the car for a bit." Mo Ze said, leaning gently against the car.

Shen Nian then noticed that he seemed a little tired. Managing such a large company must be very busy and tiring.

"Uncle, is there something you need from me?" Shen Nian asked when Mo Ze didn't speak.

Moze suddenly reached out and gently wiped her cheek.

Shen Nian blushed at the sudden intimate gesture. "W-what's wrong?"

Mo Ze raised his hand and waved it in front of Shen Nian, the white cream on his fingertips clearly visible. Shen Nian's cheeks turned even redder.

"I just... I accidentally got it on my face..." Shen Nian didn't mention it was her birthday, as that would seem strange, like she was asking for a birthday present. She had rushed downstairs and forgotten that she hadn't wiped her face clean.

Mo Ze turned around, took a tissue from the car, wiped his face gently, and nodded. "Yeah, I know." Then, as if by magic, he took a small box out of his pocket and handed it to Shen Nian.

He said, "Happy birthday, Niannian."

Shen Nian froze, staring blankly at the box Mo Ze handed her. She didn't immediately reach out to take it; she was completely bewildered.

How did the older man know it was her birthday today...?

Upstairs on the balcony, the three onlookers were still there, keeping watch.

Because it was only on the second floor, the three people could see the situation downstairs very clearly.

"Oh my god, oh my god, what is that? A ring?" Lin Ling exclaimed dramatically.

"Probably not, the box doesn't look like it," Chen Jia analyzed seriously.

"I'm so curious! I wonder what's inside!" Wu Sisi craned her neck, trying hard to see more clearly.

"Why isn't Niannian answering? It's a birthday gift from her own husband, not someone else. There's no need to be shy." Lin Ling was extremely anxious upstairs.

The three people upstairs stood on tiptoe and looked down, while Shen Nian downstairs remained stunned for a long time. Finally, Mo Ze jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Shen Nian then came to her senses and hurriedly explained, "No, no, it's just... how did Uncle know it was my birthday today..." she asked curiously, her cheeks flushed.

“Since you don’t dislike it, then you must like it. Accept the gift and I’ll tell you.” Mo Ze smiled and started beating around the bush with Shen Nian.

Under Mo Ze's watchful gaze, Shen Nian accepted the gift.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Alright, it's getting colder tonight, go back now, I'm leaving." After giving the gift, Mo Ze urged Shen Nian to go back.

She was only wearing a thin jacket, and the wind was quite chilly.

"Okay," Shen Nian replied obediently.

She watched as Mo Ze got into the car and drove away before turning around and going upstairs.

When Shen Nian returned to her dorm room, her three roommates immediately surrounded her, asking all at once, "Nian Nian, did Mr. Mo come all this way to give you a birthday present? How romantic!" Chen Jia exclaimed with envy.

"Hurry up and see what the gift is. I said it was a ring, but they all said no." Lin Ling was even more curious about what was in the box.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and see what it is," Wu Sisi urged.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Shen Nian gently opened the box, inside which was a diamond necklace.

"Wow~ So beautiful!" The other three people, except for Shen Nian, exclaimed at the same time.

The necklace features a simple and elegant design. The pendant is shaped like a moon surrounded by stars, and the stars are inlaid with tiny diamonds, making them very dazzling, as if they were real stars in the sky.

"These are all real diamonds, right? They must have cost a lot of money," Lin Ling, who had more experience, concluded.

"Money aside, the main thing is that she's just so beautiful," Chen Jia said with a grin.

"It is absolutely gorgeous," Wu Sisi agreed.

Shen Nian remained silent, a slight shock settling in her heart. She hadn't expected Mo Ze to give her a diamond necklace. The brand was unclear, but it certainly wasn't cheap. Just as Chen Jia had said, it wasn't about the price; it was truly beautiful!

While her roommates were admiring the necklace, Shen Nian took her phone to the bathroom. She had originally intended to send Mo Ze a WeChat message to thank him, but now she really wanted to say it in person.

The call was answered immediately after it was dialed.

"What's wrong, Niannian?" Mo Ze's deep, magnetic voice reached her ears, and Shen Nian unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone.

"Uncle, are you still driving?" As soon as the words left her mouth, she wanted to bite her tongue. The man had just left; he was definitely still on the road. Wasn't she just making herself look silly?

"Mm," Moze replied softly.

Shen Nian quickly explained, "I, I wanted to say, I wanted to say thank you for the birthday gift, Uncle, it's very beautiful."

"Do you like it?" Mo Ze's smiling voice reached her ears again, and a blush crept up her ear tips. She felt that there was something more to the man's words.

Shen Nian clutched her heart, which was beating faster and faster, and said into her phone, "I like it."

A soft chuckle reached her ears, and she heard a voice say, "I like it too."

Shen Nian's cheeks flushed bright red instantly, and she hurriedly said, "I'll stop here for now, Uncle. Take care on your journey. Goodbye."

Then, without waiting for Moze to say anything more, she immediately hung up the phone.

Mo Ze stared at the phone that had just been disconnected, the smile on his lips growing wider and wider...

After hanging up the phone, Shen Nian leaned against the sink, holding her phone and panting, before leaving the bathroom to calm her racing heart.

When the bathroom door was opened, the three people eavesdropping outside almost fell over. It turned out that Lin Ling and the others had been outside the whole time.

"We didn't hear anything," the three men said in unison, raising their hands in denial.

Before Shen Nian could speak, Lin Ling said, "We didn't hear you say 'I like you,' and we didn't see you blush."

Wu Sisi and Chen Jia nodded in agreement with smiles.

Shen Nian was so embarrassed, "Lin Ling!"

The four of them chased and played around together.

That night, Shen Nian lay in bed unable to sleep, holding the diamond necklace in her hand, her mind seemingly etched with Mo Ze's smiling face.

The word "like" was indeed tinged with personal bias, and it wasn't just about the necklace.

It's hard for any girl not to like someone as outstanding as him.

What kind of girl would this older man like...?
