Chapter 194: 194 Gift (For Alliance Hierarch’s Rest of Life, Extra Chapter 3 during Wind and Snow)

“I’ll drive.”

After walking out of Luo’s Villa, Chen Xu voluntarily walked to the driver’s seat door. Luo Xiyun handed over the keys, and as she got into the car, she turned her head and wiped away the tears on her face.

Chen Xu pretended not to notice her action and waited until she was seated and buckled up before slowly starting the car.

He drove at a leisurely pace, leaving the residential complex and taking to a highway.

About fifteen minutes later, the car pulled over to the side of the road.

Chen Xu said, “Wait for me a second, I’m going to buy something,” then he unbuckled his seat belt, pulled open the car door, and stepped out.

Luo Xiyun continued to gaze out the window, her mood somewhat downcast, not really paying attention to where they were. Before she could react, Chen Xu had already rushed off.

She propped her chin on her hand, watching the pedestrians outside the car window, waiting for Chen Xu to return.

In a short while, Chen Xu came back carrying a bag and got into the car on the side of the road.

She asked curiously, “What did you buy?”

After closing the car door, Chen Xu carefully took out the contents of the bag. It was a palm-sized blue cake, topped with an intricate Cupid design.

She was momentarily stunned.

Chen Xu unwrapped the cake and placed it on his lap, then he took a small red candle from the bag, inserted it into the cake, and lit it with a lighter.

Then, holding the cake up in front of her, he smiled and said, “Happy birthday.”

Luo Xiyun stared at him, her eyes misting over with a layer of moisture.

At that moment, the car’s interior light automatically turned off. The bright streetlights outside were obscured by the tinted films on the car windows, and the small candle flame reflected in her eyes.

“Sorry, I didn’t prepare a cake in advance. I could only buy a small one at the last minute.”

Chen Xu felt somewhat regretful. He had originally thought that there would be a birthday party at her father’s house, but it turned out like this.

Seeing that she was only looking at him without speaking, he said helplessly, “Make a wish soon, or the candle will burn out.”

Luo Xiyun clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.

A second later, she opened her eyes and blew out the candle.

“Oh, right.”

Chen Xu put the cake aside, turned on the car’s interior light, and then took a small red square box from his pocket, placing it in her hand. He said, “This is a gift for you.”

He said, “Open it and see.”

Luo Xiyun pried open the lid of the box to find a ring nestled inside. Under the light of the car roof, it reflected the metallic sheen, dazzling and brilliant at that moment.

Her gaze seemed to be captivated by the ring. After a moment, she asked, “How did you know that today is my birthday?”

“I secretly asked Secretary Guo,” Chen Xu said. “I wanted to give you a surprise, but you beat me to it. Do you like it?”

Luo Xiyun passed him the ring and extended her left hand, saying, “Help me put it on.”

Chen Xu took the ring out and said, “Are you sure about this? Once you put it on, you’ll be mine, and you’ll never escape.”

Luo Xiyun looked into his eyes and asked, “Will you always love me?”

Chen Xu met her gaze, his heart brimming with tenderness, and said, “I will always love you.”

“Help me put it on.”

Chen Xu slowly slipped the ring on her middle finger; it was the perfect size.

With the ring on her finger, Luo Xiyun wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.

After a long time, Chen Xu said, “I should take you back.”

Luo Xiyun lightly drew circles on the back of his hand with her fingers and said, “I thought you would take me to your place. Yumeng is still staying at my house.”

“I know you’re not in a good mood right now, so you probably aren’t in the mood for that.” Chen Xu’s expression was somewhat peculiar as he caught her fidgeting hand.

“You might regret it.”

Chen Xu said softly, “Didn’t ‘it’ come for you?”

Luo Xiyun’s cheeks flushed red as she murmured, “You really are a pervert.”

…

The next morning, Chen Xu opened his eyes to see Luo Xiyun’s face, her eyes were closed, her breathing was even, she was clearly still asleep.

Reaching under the pillow, he grabbed his phone and saw it was already six o’clock.

Last night, after he brought Luo Xiyun back, she insisted he stay, so he did.

Of course, nothing happened, it’s just that he fell asleep several hours later than usual, so he woke up late.

He knew that the night had a symbolic significance for both of them, which was why Luo Xiyun was adamant about him staying.

He quietly got up, opened the door, and walked out.

This was his first time inside Luo Xiyun’s home, it was a large place with a three-bedroom and two-living room layout, the décor was new, the house was spotlessly clean, and everything was neatly arranged—it was very comfortable to look at.

However, cleaning up must be quite laborious, and with Luo Xiyun’s busy schedule, she must have employed a cleaner. He wondered how much it would cost to maintain such cleanliness.

There was a treadmill in front of the balcony, he walked over and drew back the curtains. The sky was already light, and golden sunshine slanted in.

He did some warm-up exercises, turned on the treadmill, and started running.

The house was well insulated, no need to worry about disturbing the person still sleeping in the other room.

But as he was used to running outdoors, using a treadmill was somewhat unfamiliar.

By seven-thirty another room’s door opened, and Liu Yumeng walked out. Seeing him sprinting on the treadmill her gaze darkened, and she asked, “What are you doing here?”

Hearing her voice, Chen Xu turned off the treadmill and walked over, wiping his sweat as he said, “I stayed here last night.”

Liu Yumeng’s expression soured, “So you actually took advantage of her birthday…”

Chen Xu said, “Speaking of which, I should thank you. You could say you were our matchmaker; I definitely owe you a meal.”

“No need for a meal, I’m afraid I couldn’t stomach it.”

Liu Yumeng said coldly, “Don’t get too cocky, you won’t be able to get past Xi Yun’s dad.”

Chen Xu smiled slightly and didn’t argue, saying, “I made some porridge, do you want to have some for breakfast?”

“No need,” Liu Yumeng said, then she stormed out the door, leaving with a bang as she forcefully shut the door behind her.

Chen Xu found it somewhat amusing and continued to run.

Past eight, Luo Xiyun also woke up and after freshening up, the two of them had breakfast together.

“Right, tonight, I have to attend a banquet, it will probably end around ten, and you can come pick me up then,” Luo Xiyun said.

Chen Xu casually asked, “What kind of banquet?”

“It’s for Wanhua’s online sales breaking records; Liu Kun said he’s throwing a celebration banquet. Fangdong’s side has also sent people over, and some other partners will be attending,” Luo Xiyun explained.

Chen Xu was hearing about this for the first time and said in surprise, “Then I really must congratulate you.”

“Thank you.”

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be affected by the issue with her dad from the night before, Chen Xu finally felt relieved.
