He wants to adopt a younger sister, but his aloof wife disagrees.

Wednesday, August 20th.

For the employees at the Shen Group headquarters, this day felt like "winter was coming."

The atmosphere in the CEO's office was incredibly tense. Shen Qingge, dressed in a black business suit, had a face even colder than her clothes. She had been working frantically all day, her pen almost tearing through the paper as she signed documents, and during meetings, she had even argued with several senior executives to the point of nearly resigning on the spot.

"Mr. Shen...it's your birthday today, and the administration department has ordered a cake..."

The secretary knocked cautiously and entered, before she could finish speaking.

"Throw it away."

Shen Qingge didn't even raise her head, coldly uttering two words:

"I don't eat sweets. Also, if anyone dares to mention the word 'birthday' again, their entire bonus for this month will be deducted."

The secretary trembled in fright and quickly ran away with the cake.

Shen Qingge slammed her pen on the table, turned her chair around to face the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the darkening sky outside, her eyes reddening.

It's been a day.

It's been a whole day.

That bastard didn't even send a single WeChat message. Not even that brat Su Xiaoruan made a move; it's like those two vanished into thin air.

"Good...very good."

Shen Qingge bit her lip, forcing back her tears:

"Jiang Che, don't even think about touching me again."

Just then, the cell phone on the table rang.

It's Jiang Che.

Shen Qingge stared at the screen for a full five seconds before pressing the answer button, her tone as cold as ice:

"Speak quickly if you have something to report; otherwise, the court may adjourn."

"Qingge, something's happened."

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Che's voice sounded somewhat anxious and serious:

"The electrical system at MixC World shopping mall suddenly went down, and the alarms at several luxury stores went off just now. I suspect there's a robbery going on under the cover of darkness. I can't leave right now, could you come over?"

"What?!"

Shen Qingge's heart tightened. With MixC New World just acquired, such a scandal at this time would be a fatal blow to "Clear Capital".

She instantly forgot her anger; her professional instincts took over.

"Did you call the police? Where are the security guards? They're useless!"

"I'm coming right away! Stay there and be careful!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingge grabbed her car keys and rushed out of the office in her high heels.

……

8 PM.

A New World of Wonders

The shopping mall, usually brightly lit, was now completely dark. Even the exterior decorative lights were off, making the entire building look like a giant, lifeless black monster standing in the bustling city center.

Shen Qingge parked the car on the side of the road and rushed towards the gate with great anxiety.

"Jiang Che! Jiang Che!"

She pushed open the unlocked glass door and rushed into the dark atrium.

It was empty and quiet.

Only the sound of her high heels echoed.

"Jiang Che, where are you?!"

Shen Qingge took out her phone to get some light, her panic growing stronger. It wasn't the dark she was afraid of, but the fear that something might happen to Jiang Che.

Just as she was about to take out her phone to dial 110.

"Smack."

A crisp snap of fingers rang out in the empty hall.

Followed by.

The enormous LED canopy that spanned the entire atrium of the mall and was five stories high suddenly lit up.

There was no blinding white light.

Instead, it was a dazzling, flowing deep blue starry sky.

Shen Qingge subconsciously looked up.

Under the starry sky, a piano piece flowed gently. It wasn't a recording; it was a live performance.

A soft spotlight shone on the second-floor terrace.

Jiang Che, dressed in a white tuxedo, sat at a white Steinway piano. His long, slender fingers danced across the keys as he played the classic "Wedding in a Dream."

"Jiang Che..."

Shen Qingge froze, and the bag in her hand slipped to the ground.

She stared at the elegant, prince-like man, her mind going completely blank.

Robbery? Power outage?

That bastard... he lied to her again!

The song ended.

Jiang Che stood up and picked up a bunch of bright red "Juliet Roses" (the most expensive rose variety in the world) that was placed on the piano.

He walked slowly down the escalator, his steps elegant, his gaze fixed affectionately on Shen Qingge.

"you……"

Shen Qingge looked at the man who walked up to her, tears welling up in her eyes. She wanted to curse him, but no sound came out.

"Shhh."

Jiang Che raised a finger and gently pressed it against her lips:

"Don't rush to scold me."

"Turn around and look outside."

Shen Qingge subconsciously turned around and looked out at the huge glass curtain wall of the mall.

At this moment, the night sky over Jianghai City was originally pitch black.

But next second.

buzzing-

Countless red lights rose from the ground, converging like fireflies into a river, and soared into the sky.

Five hundred drones.

They rapidly changed formation in the night sky.

First, it formed a huge, blooming rose, with petals layered upon each other, lifelike.

Immediately afterwards, the formation changed.

A giant crown appeared in the night sky, shimmering with golden light.

At last.

All the drones converged to form a huge line of Chinese characters, large enough for half of Jianghai City to see—

Happy Birthday, Shen Qingge!

【My Queen】

At that moment, tourists on the Bund stopped in their tracks, vehicles on the road slowed down, and countless people raised their phones to record this breathtaking scene that captivated the entire city.

And in the shopping mall.

Shen Qingge covered her mouth, and tears finally burst forth.

She thought he had forgotten.

She thought he didn't care.

It turns out, he was secretly planning to give her the whole world.

Do you like it?

Jiang Che gently embraced her from behind and whispered in her ear:

"I remember you said you didn't like loud parties or fake social interactions."

"So, I emptied the entire mall."

Tonight, this building, this sky, belongs only to you.

"You bastard... Waaaaah..."

Shen Qingge turned around, punched him in the chest, and cried like a little girl:

"You scared me to death... I thought something had happened to you... I thought you had really forgotten..."

"fool."

Jiang Che let her hit him, just smiling indulgently, and then took out the velvet box from his pocket.

turn on.

The enormous, deep blue diamond necklace, known as the "Heart of the Ocean," refracted a mesmerizing light under the starry sky ceiling.

"The raw stones for this necklace were bought with the first pot of gold I made by shorting the Zhao family."

Jiang Che took out the necklace and gently put it on her:

"It represents my commitment."

"Qingge, although I'm not strong enough yet, and I'm still labeled a 'gold digger'."

"But I assure you."

"One day, I will conquer a true empire for you."

"To make you the most noble and carefree queen in the world."

Shen Qingge touched the cool diamond on her neck, feeling the burning heat of the man's chest behind her.

She tiptoed, hooked her arms around Jiang Che's neck, and under the dazzling starry sky, in this huge shopping mall where there were only the two of them, she gave him her most passionate and unreserved kiss.

"Jiang Che..."

"I don't want to be a queen."

She murmured between her lips, her voice filled with deep affection:

"I only want to be your woman."

"I'm going to stick with you for the rest of my life."

……

"Ahem! Um...should I excuse myself?"

Just as the two were locked in a passionate kiss, a small head peeked out from the second-floor railing.

Su Xiaoruan was holding a huge video camera and was snapping away at the scene below with a beaming smile.

"This footage is amazing! It's perfect for our company's promotional video! I've even thought of a title—'The Domineering CEO's Pampered Husband's Birthday Surprise!'"

Shen Qingge pushed Jiang Che away abruptly, her face as red as a boiled shrimp.

"Su! Little! Soft!"

Shen Qingge pointed upstairs, her face flushed with shame and anger: "You were here too?!"

"Hehe, I'm an accomplice too!"

Su Xiaoruan stuck out her tongue and pressed a button on the remote control in her hand:

"Don't be angry, sister! Look here! There's one last step!"

As she pressed the button.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Outside the shopping mall, countless fireworks soared into the sky, creating a grand fireworks display against the backdrop of a drone formation.

Inside the mall, countless pink balloons fell from the sky like raindrops.

Taking advantage of the moment, Jiang Che pulled the shy Shen Qingge into his arms again, and looking at the rain of petals, he smiled:

"How is it, honey?"

"Are you satisfied with this birthday?"

Shen Qingge watched all of this, looking at her husband with a mischievous grin and at her quirky younger sister upstairs.

She took a deep breath and revealed the most beautiful smile of the night.

"satisfy."

"but……"

She leaned close to Jiang Che's ear, her voice becoming alluring yet dangerous:

"Given that you made me sad all day."

"Going home tonight."

"That lace nightgown..."

"I want you to tear it to pieces."

Jiang Che's eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.

"Yes, Your Majesty."
