Mr. Lu, stop being such a jerk. Your wife is your nemesis's white moonlight.

Yan Heng was lying on his back in the driver's seat with his eyes closed.

He had taken off his suit jacket, and his shirt collar was slightly open, revealing a section of his collarbone.

His hair was slightly disheveled by the night wind, and the streetlights cast slanted light on his face, outlining his angular features, giving him an even more decadent and sexy look than usual.

Several beer cans were scattered around him.

He was still holding a half-finished bottle in his hand.

Has he been drinking?

Xu An'an felt a surge of anger rising within her.

Not only did they drink alcohol, they also slept with the windows open!

What if someone targets this luxury car?

Does Yan Heng have any sense of self-preservation at all?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Just as I was about to shout to wake him up, the person in the driver's seat suddenly moved and then slightly opened his eyes.

It seems like he's not fully awake yet.

Those dark eyes only vaguely focused on Xu An'an's face for a moment, then closed again as if they couldn't believe it.

Xu An'an certainly wouldn't let him continue sleeping in the wind like that.

She knocked hard on the half-open car window: "Yan Heng, open the door!"

Upon hearing these words, Yan Heng suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared at Xu An'an with his still slightly drunken dark eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.

His eyes held a cautious confirmation.

Xu An'an had no choice but to repeat herself, word by word: "Yan Heng, open the door, I want to get in the car."

Yan Heng then realized what was happening and reached out to press the door open button.

Xu An'an breathed a sigh of relief and opened the car door.

I had just sat down halfway when I was suddenly pulled away by a strong force.

The next second, she was pulled firmly into Yan Heng's arms.

Only when he actually held that warm, soft body in his arms did Yan Heng finally realize that this was not a dream.

He had been waiting here for far too long.

In his drunken stupor, he saw Xu An'an walk out of the hospital gate countless times, but each time he opened his eyes again, he was hopelessly disappointed to find that it was just a hallucination.

From this angle, he could see the window of Lu Yiming's ward.

The lights are on.

This means they haven't gone to sleep yet, and may still be talking.

What will they talk about?

If what Lu Yiming said is true, will Xu An'an forgive him again?

But he was also afraid that the lamp would go out.

That means they'll have to share a room and sleep in the same room.

This self-contradictory torment was driving him crazy.

With no other option, he could only numb himself with alcohol.

He forced himself to fall asleep.

Let tonight pass quickly, and as soon as he wakes up tomorrow morning, he will go upstairs and bring Xu An'an back.

But to his surprise, Xu An'an actually came out.

Xu An'an was startled when he hugged her.

Through the thin fabric of his clothes, she could feel Yan Heng's rapid heartbeat.

Each stroke was fast and heavy.

At the same time, a strong smell of alcohol wafted from his embrace.

She couldn't help but frown.

Gently pushing him away, Xu An'an pointed to the scattered aluminum cans around them.

"Did you drink all of this?"

Yan Heng stared at her blankly for a long time before nodding honestly.

Xu An'an's brow furrowed even more. "You were driving under the influence?"

"no."

This time, Yan Heng denied it very decisively.

He pointed to the 24-hour convenience store next to the hospital, "I bought it there, and I didn't drive after I finished it."

That's more or less.

Xu An'an breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and without asking any more questions, turned around and got out of the car.

Yan Heng thought she was leaving, so he quickly followed her out of the car.

But he had been drinking and had just woken up.

As soon as I got out of the car, I felt a sudden wave of dizziness and my body swayed violently.

Just as he was about to lean against the car door, Xu An'an caught him first.

Yan Heng stared blankly at Xu An'an, who had somehow circled around to his side, and let her carry him by the arm to the passenger seat.

As she turned to leave again, Yan Heng instinctively grabbed her wrist. "Where are you going?"

Xu An'an was stunned for a moment before she understood.

"Where else can we go?"

She looked at Yan Heng with an expression as if he were an idiot, and said, word by word:

"I'll drive!"

.......

The hospital is about half an hour away from the hotel.

This was Xu An'an's first time driving a sports car.

The low ground clearance made her feel uncomfortable, and coupled with her unfamiliarity with Milan's roads, she drove very cautiously, making the Ferrari feel like a tractor.

When she arrived at the hotel, she realized that she had driven for a full fifty minutes.

Fortunately, the journey was long enough that Yan Heng sobered up a bit and his mental capacity recovered to about 70-80%.

Xu An'an was about to lock the car.

"Wait a minute," Yan Heng called out to her, gesturing with his chin behind her, "There's something in the trunk."

Xu An'an paused for a moment, then walked towards the trunk. As she walked, she thought, "What kind of stuff is this? Why bring it to a hotel in the middle of the night?"

She raised her hand and pressed the button.

The moment the trunk was slowly opened, Xu An'an's eyes widened in surprise.

The entire trunk was stuffed with light gold balloons, packed tightly together, with strings of warm yellow lights intertwined between them, like stars scattered inside, twinkling on the chrome-plated car frame.

In the very center is a large bunch of sunflowers, blooming brightly, as if capturing the entire summer in this small space.

Next to the sunflower was an exquisite velvet box and a large birthday cake box.

The warm yellow light enveloped everything, making it look as beautiful as a dream.

Yan Heng's voice sounded from behind.

Happy birthday, Xu An'an.

It took Xu An'an a long time to recover from the shock.

She turned around and stared blankly at Yan Heng.

"You actually remember..."

She had never celebrated her birthday with Yan Heng.

Filming for "The Last Goodnight" began in mid-October, shortly after Xu An'an's birthday. Filming wrapped the following February, and immediately afterward, she and Yan Heng separated; they didn't see each other for a long time.

In the first few years, when they occasionally kept in touch via WeChat, Yan Heng would indeed send her a short birthday greeting.

But then so many things happened, and from some unknown day onwards, the two of them lost all contact.

After so many years, Xu An'an naturally assumed that Yan Heng would never remember her birthday.

But he really did remember...

Yan Heng did not answer, but simply took out the exquisite velvet box in the middle and gently opened it.

"I didn't know what to get you. But last time when I bought clothes, you said you preferred jewelry, so I bought a set on my way here a few days ago. I don't know if you'll like it."

Xu An'an looked down.

A set of jade jewelry lay inside the box.

The imperial green cabochon necklace, surrounded by a circle of small diamonds, reflects a deep and rich luster under the warm yellow light.

The green color was so rich it was almost dripping, and so clear it was without a trace of impurity; you could tell at a glance it was top-grade old mine material.

Xu An'an recognized it.

She had seen it by chance in the news before—an extremely rare imperial emerald was secretly auctioned off by an anonymous tycoon using a "sky lantern" method, with the transaction amount reaching an astonishing 150 million.

Xu An'an had little interest in ordinary jewelry, but she had a particular fondness for jade.

My grandmother's family had been involved in the gemstone business in their early years and were quite knowledgeable about jade. My grandmother always told her that good jade is good for one's health and is something that can only be encountered by chance.

The jade in the auction picture was crystal clear, without a single flaw, and was clearly a peerless piece of jade.

News reports say the wealthy businessman bought the gemstone as a birthday gift for his loved one.

She thought to herself, "If someone cares about me so much and can receive such a piece of jade as a birthday gift, that person will surely be nourished by the jade and live a carefree life."

It is said that good jade nourishes the body, but good jade also chooses its owner.

At that time, Xu An'an couldn't help but secretly envy the woman she had never met.

It turns out that the wealthy merchant who bought the gemstone was Yan Heng.

That lucky woman turned out to be herself.
