She Didn’t Forget
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It did seem a little romantic to enjoy the kiss that belonged to only the two of them by the quiet river in the middle of the night.
At least at this moment, it was very difficult for Murong Qiao, who was being hugged, not to fall into it.
However, this interaction made Huo Yichen gradually forget the disappointment of not receiving Murong Qiao’s gift.
He felt the warm presence in his arms and suddenly felt that it didn’t seem very important to receive a gift. At the very least, as long as Murong Qiao was by his side, it would be the happiest thing and the most precious gift he had ever received.
Although he thought so, Huo Yichen inevitably felt a little regretful.
It was a pity that the other party had forgotten the gift.
“I think I placed my bag in the trunk. Ah Chen, help me get it. There’s a key inside.” She gestured.
Key?
Questions surfaced in Huo Yichen’s mind, and his attention was immediately diverted.
He didn’t ask further. He just turned around and returned to the car, reaching out to open the trunk.
But he didn’t notice that when he turned around, Murong Qiao secretly lightened her footsteps and followed behind him, even holding her cell phone in her hand.
Huo Yichen stretched out his hand and pressed it against the trunk as if he didn’t feel anything. Then, as the smart sensors were activated, a gap slowly appeared in the trunk, pouring out a gentle and warm light.
Wait, light?
Seeing this scene, Huo Yichen’s intuition told him that something was wrong. However, while his mind was still reacting, the trunk door had already slowly opened.
But where was the bag he needed to take?
Countless flowers surrounded and filled the trunk. The originally spacious space bloomed with unrestrained beauty, just to show the impact on the visual senses at this moment.
The white and pink roses were woven together, clusters surrounding the beautiful and exquisite box in the middle, as if they were waiting for him to open it.
There was even a long string of stars hanging on the open trunk door. They weighed the corner and let the light have warmth, seeping into Huo Yichen’s already cold heart.
“…” Huo Yichen didn’t make the first move. He was only stunned for a while before he suddenly turned around and saw Murong Qiao pointing her cell phone at him.
“Qiaoqiao…” He sighed.
Murong Qiao seemed to want to laugh at his reaction, but in order to stabilize her cell phone, she tried her best to restrain her reaction. Then, she agreed softly as a response.
She had waited for this moment for a long time. She was even afraid that her cell phone would run out of battery, so she specially used a charger to charge the phone on the way here before daring to ask him to open it.
“Open the gift. Ah Chen, don’t just stand there.” Seeing that Huo Yichen didn’t move for a long time, she reminded him again.
Hearing her words, Huo Yichen seemed to have woken up from a dream and reached out to touch the gift box.
The gift box was not big. When he opened it, he saw an exquisite and beautiful watch. The dial was silver and looked rare. The middle was decorated with the face of the Earth. Even the needle was carefully made to look especially small, making one unable to help but stare at it as it slowly spun.
Huo Yichen recognized the brand of the watch at a glance. Then, some memories of the past began to surface.
“I remember you saying that you liked it when you were in university,” Murong Qiao said slowly.
He had indeed said that at that time.
However, at that time, he was still nothing in the Huo Family. He was still under Huo Hong’s pressure and Huo Xiuyuan’s threat.
Such an expensive watch should not be worthy of his identity at that time, so Huo Yichen probably only mentioned it once or twice before throwing it to the back of his mind.
After becoming the President of the Huo Corporation, the Huo Family helped him with his food, clothes, and expenses. He rarely needed to care about these things himself. As time passed, he forgot about this matter.
However, his liking for this watch had always existed in his heart. At the first glance, Huo Yichen’s heart surged with even more passionate emotions than before. However, he didn’t expect Murong Qiao to remember this matter until now. She didn’t forget it and even gave it to him.
Murong Qiao said with a hint of smugness, “I specially asked the brand for this custom-made piece. I even personally participated in making it!”
“It’s just that when I looked at it at that time, I felt my eyes go dizzy. That watch needle is so small. At that time, I broke a few before I reached the standard of passing…”
Murong Qiao didn’t finish her sentence. It was more accurate to say that Huo Yichen did not let her finish.
He didn’t choose to try on the watch first. Instead, he turned around and hugged Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao was caught off guard by his actions. She almost lost her grip on the cell phone, but she still chose to hug the other party. “I’m still filming the video. You scared me.”
“Have you always wanted to see me like this?” Huo Yichen’s slightly muffled voice came from her shoulder.
Murong Qiao said seriously, “How is that possible?”
She had clearly planned this for a long time.
Murong Qiao had looked at it for a long time before confirming that the scenery here was not bad and met her requirements.
As for the surprise of the trunk, it was naturally prepared long ago.
“But to be honest… it was still very interesting when I saw your disappointed expression just now,” Murong Qiao said with a smile.
She deliberately didn’t mention the gift today. Then, she observed Huo Yichen’s reaction at all times.
However, there were actually a few times when she saw that Huo Yichen wanted to say something, but he didn’t seem to want to. Murong Qiao almost couldn’t help but say it herself.
Fortunately, the final outcome was good, and the desired effect was achieved.
She didn’t let down the painstaking effort she had put in to prepare a gift for her and the few days she had freed up to specially work on this matter.
“I felt it at the banquet today. When I was driving and drinking milk tea just now—” She counted them one by one.
Murong Qiao’s smiling voice echoed in Huo Yichen’s ears.
“Don’t say it.” Huo Yichen tried to stop her.
Murong Qiao was like an angry cat. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll stop talking.
Aren’t you going to try on your gift?”
“I’ll try it on later,” Huo Yichen replied.
He didn’t care about anything now. He only wanted to hug the other party tightly.
However, Murong Qiao’s muffled voice came from his chest. “If you don’t turn around, what if my fireworks are wasted?”
“What?” Huo Yichen couldn’t hear clearly.
However, he didn’t need to hear it clearly because after Murong Qiao finished speaking with a smile, countless fireworks gradually rose into the air from the other side of the river and erupted with dazzling and beautiful patterns.
That sound drowned Murong Qiao’s laughter, but it also illuminated the clear smile in her eyes and landed in Huo Yichen’s heart.
“Happy birthday, Ah Chen!” Murong Qiao’s amplified voice was mixed with the sound of the fireworks and fell into his ears.
His heart, which had just rippled because of the gift, seemed to have encountered a wave that suddenly surged and surged. It filled his entire body with indescribable emotions.
Murong Qiao’s cheers sounded in his ears. Huo Yichen didn’t even notice it and revealed a big, even a little inconsistent smile. At this moment, he suddenly felt exceptionally happy.
It was only when he heard the other party say the birthday blessing so firmly and sincerely that Huo Yichen finally felt something in his heart. He felt incomparably at ease and unusually happy.
She had not forgotten his birthday..
