A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

"My goodness, something really isn't right. Only a few hours have passed, what has happened? What did I miss? How did Ji Chen lose his inheritance rights to the Ji Corporation?"

His words were quite provocative, and as soon as he said them, several people crowded around him.

Chen Li found it increasingly exciting as he read on. This juicy gossip was endless. He looked at the trending topics one by one, at every photo posted by the paparazzi, and at their disheveled state at the Ji family's gate.

"His parents are indeed shrewd. I still can't figure out how such intelligent parents could have such a stupid son. What's the problem? Could it really be a genetic mutation?"

This is an unsolved problem in the world.

The group shook their heads, finished eating their melon seeds, tossed their phones aside, and began planning their next big event.

"Send a message to Qiluo and ask him where he is now. We're about to eat cake." Chen Li took out his phone and kicked Luo Yunqi, who was standing next to him. "Hurry up and send a message to your brother-in-law."

It was obvious that the brother-in-law had pleased Luo Yunqi last time, as the smile on the latter's face hadn't disappeared since. He sent a message to Xu Qiluo using his phone, but the latter hadn't replied yet.

"He hasn't replied to your message, so he's probably on his way now. Let's not bother him too much."

Gu Baisheng stretched. These people were so familiar with each other that even a casual gesture could reveal what they were thinking. They had grown up together since childhood, and even a slight movement from them was enough for them to know what the other was up to.

“It’s our birthday every year, so I’ll make a wish for Yao Yao first: that we can be by her side every year on her birthday.”

Gu Baisheng glanced at the birthday cake that the waiter had slowly recommended. It was a small three-tiered rose cake, exquisite and beautiful, like a fine work of art, making it almost too beautiful to cut.

They had all changed into slightly more formal clothes, looking elegant and relaxed. Xu Shuli was the star of the evening, so she couldn't dress too casually. Wen Qing was in the private room upstairs, putting on her dress and the dresses she had brought back one by one.

"Oh dear, Yaoyao, why are all these dresses you brought so conservative? Today is your birthday, the day you and that bastard Luo Yunqi reunited. You're dressed too plainly. Although you can fit into my dress, you're a bit smaller than me..."

Xu Shuli watched helplessly as she played a dress-up game, placing one exquisite and pretty dress after another in front of her. If she felt they weren't suitable, she would throw them one by one onto her bed.

"Qingqing, it's just a birthday, there's nothing to be too concerned about. Besides, we're together every year, so I don't look forward to birthdays as much as I used to."

As for the dress, Xu Shuli pinched a corner of it, "Besides, look at the dresses you brought; they might not suit my aesthetic or my tastes. It's a stark contrast. I might not be able to fit into your dress, or even dare to wear it, while you think my dress is conservative and plain, Qingqing..."

"Oh, alright, alright, I was just thinking that you two could make some new progress on this auspicious day."

He cursed them as bastards, but he did put in the effort.

Any new developments?

Xu Shuli didn't quite understand what Wen Qing said. She tilted her head and picked out a white off-shoulder silk cake dress that she had brought with her from a pile of clothes on the bed. Her waist was slender and delicate.

"Qingqing, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'a little new progress'?"

Uh…

This is indeed a bit difficult to explain.

Seeing that she couldn't get past her, Wen Qing blushed slightly, pulled her in front of her, and whispered a few words of explanation in her ear.

The next second, their two bright red faces came together.

"Qingqing! What nonsense are you spouting? These are also..."

After talking for a long time, Xu Shuli couldn't utter a complete sentence. She hesitated for a moment, then let go of her hand, feeling embarrassed.

"Qingqing, you..."

Wen Qing's face flushed, and she waved her hands repeatedly to explain, "No... I... I didn't... We didn't... It's just... I just thought today was a good opportunity, and I wanted to bring you two together. You two are usually too serious."

“Nothing ever happened between Chen Li and me. We didn’t do anything bad. We just kissed, hugged, and lifted each other up. We never dared to do anything inappropriate.”

"..."

Before she could even use torture to extract a confession, he confessed first and asked for leniency.

The two girls glanced at each other, then felt embarrassed and looked away. In the end, driven by a bit of curiosity and shyness, they secretly started fiddled with their fingers.

"I remember when you came back last time, nothing else happened at Liehuo?"

Although Wen Qing was embarrassed, she really enjoyed being with Chen Li, whether it was having meals together, going out, or the physical contact that happened at home.

"We kissed, hugged, and touched each other a little. He touched my belly, and..."

"Hey hey hey... Qingqing, you... you don't have to explain in so much detail."

Xu Shuli almost choked on her own saliva. She had only asked casually, but the child had foolishly told her everything. It was unnecessary to nitpick the details so clearly.

"Yaoyao, when you like someone, you really want to be with them all the time. Even just holding hands makes me very happy. I feel that way all the time when I'm with Chen Li."

Wen Qing is very happy. You can feel her happiness from her words and the love she exudes is uncontrollable.

"Qingqing, you said I'm the birthday girl today, why are you two still showing off your love?"

Wen Qing and Chen Li can be considered a loving couple. They've been sweet since childhood and haven't experienced any setbacks. The elders around them are especially happy that they're together. Their simple, sweet relationship is enduring and worth pondering.

"Oh dear, I was just talking to you, wasn't I? Where did I show you any affection? Oh, by the way, Yaoyao, today is your birthday, and I've prepared a big gift for you..."

Wen Qing spread her legs and ran back to her room, took out her suitcase, and pulled out a gift box from it.

"This is a birthday gift I specially prepared for you. Open it and see if you like it."

For the past three months, Wen Qing had been thinking about what to give her for her birthday. After much thought, she finally came up with an idea a month ago.

In her memory, Hsu Shu-li was always a noble and elegant princess, sitting gracefully at the piano, and no one could help but succumb to her charm.

She will definitely love this gift.
