Never mind, he won’t dwell on this explanation.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to take advantage of you. It’s just that we spend too little time together. Can’t you be a bit more enthusiastic!”
“Am I not enthusiastic?” Xia Yuluo was still unconvinced.
“Yuluo, tomorrow is my birthday. Can you come home a bit later in the evening and attend my birthday party?”
“Your birthday is tomorrow?” Xia Yuluo felt a bit guilty. She had never asked her boyfriend when his birthday was, while he had asked her about hers when they first started dating.
“I’ll let my family know today, and I’ll accompany you tomorrow night.”
“Accompany me all night?”
“All night—”
“Just kidding! I’ll send you home after.”
Xia Yuluo wanted to give Fang Yuzhe a gift. She didn’t have much money and wanted to express her feelings, so she went to a sports store and bought a cotton sports vest.
Fang Yuzhe’s birthday party was held at his family’s villa with a spacious lawn that could accommodate dozens of people and a garden that resembled a Jiangnan-style landscape.
Xia Yuluo originally thought it would be a small gathering with a few friends, but many people had come. Was such a grand celebration necessary for a young person’s birthday?
What was surprising was that Fang Yuzhe’s father was also there, personally greeting guests and showing great respect for his son’s friends. Fang Tianchen looked different from his photos – his hair was black, he was tall and imposing, with a somewhat fierce expression, but because he was constantly smiling, he didn’t seem too intimidating.
Most of the people who came to celebrate Fang Yuzhe’s birthday were strangers to Xia Yuluo, but they were clearly wealthy. The men dressed impressively, and the women were extravagant.
Xia Yuluo came with Fang Yuzhe, still wearing her school uniform.
If she weren’t holding his hand, the doorman probably wouldn’t have let her in.
Despite many elders being present, including his father, Fang Yuzhe didn’t hesitate to hold Xia Yuluo close.
As soon as she entered, Xia Yuluo felt everyone’s eyes on her. She looked up at Fang Yuzhe: “Let go, your father will notice!”
Fang Yuzhe looked surprised. “I’m not trying to hide anything!”
