Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

Lu Luozhi stared at him.

My gaze kept shifting between his face and the cake in his hand.

She scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "Actually, it's not that important..."

In her mind, her birthday wasn't really that important.

However, she will never forget that when her parents were still alive, every year there was a beautiful birthday cake made just for her, and her mother would let her choose a birthday gift she liked.

Even after they are gone, her grandparents will remember to cook her a bowl of longevity noodles on her birthday.

After her grandfather passed away, she stopped celebrating her birthday.

Every time her birthday comes around, she can't help but think back to those happy times, and afterwards she feels even more upset.

This is also why she doesn't like celebrating her birthday, only celebrating it with her grandmother and Lu Mingshi.

However, this year, they both seem to enjoy creating surprises for her.

I thought it would be another lonely birthday, but actually, someone has always remembered me.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

She helped him walk back.

Ying Yuchuan glanced at her expression secretly.

Does she really not like it?

I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

His last-minute purchase shows a lack of sincerity.

When he returned to the bungalow and opened the cake box to light the candles for her, he realized that he had only taken the cake and had not taken the matching disposable plates and cutlery.

There wasn't even a candle.

"I'd better go back and get it."

His guilt intensified for his carelessness, and he turned around to go back to the cake shop to ask them for candles or something.

Lu Luozhi grabbed him and laughed at him, "Don't go, all the staff have gone home, the store will be closed by the time you get back."

"Working like an animal is most afraid of encountering a customer like you who shows up right before closing time. It's so annoying."

Ying Yuchuan frowned. "But there are no candles..."

Lu Luozhi chuckled, "It doesn't matter, as long as there's cake."

She rubbed some rose-flavored cream on her fingertips, secretly chuckled, and then, with lightning speed, smeared the cream onto the tip of his nose beside her.

Ying Yuchuan was taken aback, but he wasn't angry. He just frowned and then relaxed.

"It seems there's no knife to cut the cake."

Let her play if she wants to.

We can't spoil her fun here.

"No need for a knife, I'll dig it out for you with my bare hands."

As Lu Luozhi spoke, she reached out to grab the cake, but stopped just before touching it.

"Just kidding."

She laughed, "I don't want to drive your OCD crazy."

He used to criticize her for lying in bed in her outdoor clothes, but now he's going to scold her for digging into a cake with her bare hands.

We mustn't keep talking about her until the end of the world.

She found the last set of plates and forks that were left over from earlier, used the fork to scoop out a piece of cake covered in cream, and held it to his lips. "Try it."

Her smile was radiant and bright, as if all the dark clouds had vanished from her round face.

He stared intently at her, slowly putting the piece of cake she offered into his mouth.

"So delicious, so sweet."

His smile was faint.

It also softened the strong lines on his face.

The anxiety I felt, thinking that she might mind that the birthday cake came too late, finally subsided.

He didn't dare ask her if she had forgiven him.

At this moment, he didn't want his irrelevant topics to spoil the atmosphere.

She smiled and scooped up a large piece of cake, putting it in her mouth. "It's really delicious!"

The pale pink cream, with its unique rose aroma, fills the mouth with a sweet and delicious flavor.

Ying Yuchuan noticed the cream residue on the corner of her mouth, his expression changed, and he reached out and gently wiped it away.

"There's cream in it."

Just like last time at his office door, but this time, instead of wiping the cream off his hands with a tissue, he gently put it into his mouth.

"Yes, it really tastes delicious."

His action made her feel a little embarrassed.

What should be said, and what shouldn't be said, seems unnecessary to say at this moment.

They tacitly agreed not to mention it.

Happy birthday, my wife.

He pulled her into his arms and whispered sweet nothings in her ear.

"I will spend every birthday with you from now on."

Lu Luozhi did not respond to him, but simply rested her head on his chest.

Don't think about anything, just rely on him for a while.

Just for a little while.

I don't know if I'll have another chance in the future.

She took a deep, lingering breath, trying to keep his scent in her mind as long as possible.
