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

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.

Xu Shuli happily accepted the gift box. "Weren't you busy filming the whole time? How did you find the time to prepare a gift for me? Judging by the size of this box, this gift must be very valuable. Qingqing, thank you so much!"

She is no longer the person she used to be, and she doesn't look forward to her birthday as much as before. However, her family and friends cherish her and remember every little thing about her.

"Oh my, why are you suddenly saying such cheesy things? I'm actually a little unaccustomed to it. We're the best of best friends, so of course I'll remember your birthday. Hurry up and open it, this is a gift I've been preparing for a long time, I guarantee you'll love it."

Wen Qing couldn't wait to see the look of surprise on her face, urging her to open the gift quickly. Xu Shuli's hand was already on the string of the gift box, and the next second, a sound came from outside.

"Sister, I'm here."

It was Xu Shuli's voice.

After finishing his class, he rushed over, taking time out of the last class period to come here, because he didn't want to miss any of his sister's birthdays.

The two siblings have a very close relationship. He doesn't want to miss any special days for his sister, and he always makes sure to have a place for himself in the corner of their photos.

"The game is over?"

Wen Qing opened the door, and there were several heads outside.

"You arrived at just the right time! Did you have a long drive here? Are you tired? Come on in. I just gave my birthday present to your sister. Yaoyao will definitely love it. It's better than any of yours. No one can beat me this year."

Wen Qing's competitive spirit resurfaced, as she did every year. Her smug and arrogant demeanor displeased Xu Qiluo, but because she was her sister's best friend and someone who had watched him grow up, he wouldn't compete with her for the so-called "best gift."

He was unconvinced simply because he also felt that his gift was the best.

“Sister Qingqing, your gift is the best gift you could give to my sister, but my gift is also the best gift my sister could give to my sister.”

When the two said that, Xu Shuli had a bad feeling. Were they going to make her choose which gift was the best? If that were the case, she might want to stay in the hot spring pool forever and not want to leave.

"Alright, alright, do you think you two are still five years old? How old are you now? You should be adults, you should be married, why are you still so childish? Today's protagonist is the birthday girl, our little one, what are you two doing?"

The eldest brother, Gu Baisheng, indiscriminately gave each person a small coin; it didn't hurt, but it had a very good restraining effect.

"..."

Both of them shut up.

Xu Shuli smiled at them, her eyes full of tenderness. "Actually, the fact that you've always been by my side is the best birthday gift for me. Our circle means we won't be friends with so many people, but I'm incredibly grateful that I chose to be with you when I chose this circle. Otherwise, how could I have lived all these years alone?"

Perhaps it was the wonderful atmosphere that made Xu Shuli unable to hold back the words she had kept hidden in her heart for so long. She propped herself up on the bed with both hands, looking at Xu Qiluo, Wen Qing, Luo Yunqi, Gu Baisheng, and Lin Ran...

His gaze swept over each of them, each face, and his eyes revealed a deep longing and dependence. "My three wishes for today are that you will always be by my side."

A large group of people exchanged glances, a strange sadness lingering in their hearts. Finally, Xu Qiluo spoke up with a smile. The two siblings' faces were extremely similar, and they looked even more alike when they smiled.

Even a simple gesture like lowering one's head and pursing one's lips can be so captivating that they can't see anything clearly.

"Sister, your wish has been wasted. We've known each other for 19 years and 11 months in the 20 years we've lived since we were little. We will definitely be together in the future."

"That's right, we're going to be best friends for life."

"Friends for life!"

Luo Yunqi stood beside her, then put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. The atmosphere became quite lively, and no one even knew who had pressed the buttons on the TV and karaoke machine next to them first.

The group then excitedly went to request songs, almost as if they wanted to tear the villa down.

Another thing came up, and Wen Qing forgot about opening the gifts.

"Yaoyao, did you just see something that made you sad again? Those are all fake, we won't look at them. We just need to live our lives well. From now on, and into the future, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Xu Shuli was taken aback, then gripped his hand tightly, and the two snuggled together. "How did you know what I was looking at?"

Even though he wasn't by his side just moments ago, he could still glean the source of his emotions from the few words he uttered.

“When did our Yaoyao become such a sentimental person? You must have seen something by chance that made you make certain associations. Our Yaoyao has always been a clear-headed girl, and she wears her heart on her sleeve.”

Luo Yun turned her hand over and placed it on the back of her hand. Something cool and icy slipped onto her ring finger.

It's a ring.

Her hands were white and slender, adorned with a simple gold band ring. The inner ring was engraved with their initials, simple and without any complicated patterns or designs.

"You carved it yourself?"

"Ah."

They had already turned on the karaoke machine, and music was playing in their ears. The group was having a great time.

“I was planning to have them ship some gemstones from South Africa, but their flight had some problems and couldn’t be delivered on time. The materials couldn’t be replaced, and the gift I’d been preparing for a year ran into trouble at the last minute… I was afraid of wasting time, so I made you a ring myself.”

Little did anyone know, Luo Yunqi nearly suffered a heart attack when he learned that the plane would not arrive on time.

Xu Shuli's heart softened. She didn't lack money or anything else. Her house was filled with gold and silver jewelry. She also had several of the gemstones he mentioned in her room, but none of them could compare to the ring he had personally engraved for her.

"This ring of yours must be something special, right?"

"Yes, if we melt this ring down, the password inside will contain all of the Luo family's assets."

As if he were talking about what they were going to eat later, Luo Yunqi's face showed no emotion whatsoever, but Xu Shuli next to him was so shocked by his words that she couldn't speak for a long time.

"Are you crazy?"

Last time, he gave her all the shares of the Luo Group; this time, he presented her with all of the Luo Group's assets.

"So what? I always feel like I've wronged you, and I always feel like you deserve more and better."

"Yaoyao, you don't need to feel any burden at all. You deserve all the good things in the world."
