For the past eight or so years, he didn't even remember the date and it was his subordinate who came to him and gave presents. The items they gave were all tucked in one place, though since he had no use of those.
Long Ying's heart felt warm as his eyes landed on his woman.
Slowly, he kissed her cheek, stirring the sleeping woman.
Yu Yan blearily opened her eyes. Upon seeing Long Ying, Yu Yan then recalled her planned surprise. Her cheek blushed since she failed to prepare proper surprise but she still spoke out, "Happy birthday, Ying."
"Mhm." Long Ying leaned in and locked Yu Yan's lips into a kiss. He certainly felt unwilling to let her go.
When he finally let her go, Yu Yan's face had turned red like tomato. She pushed Long Ying away. "Come on, your subordinate also helped to prepare for today."
"They did?" Long Ying arched his eyebrows.
"Yeah, but they fight a lot in the middle." Yu Yan giggled when she thought about how An Lin and San Xia couldn't work together properly. They kept on finding faults with each other and ended up in bad situation.
Long Ying nodded. He thought that it would be good to tell An Luo that his little brother kept on provoking his wife. Tomorrow would be a good show of how the older brother disciplined his younger brother.
"Boss, Happy birthday!"
"Happy birthday, Boss!"
"Wish you long life and beautiful night!"
Seeing the bunch that barged in, Long Ying arched his eyebrows. However, he didn't rebuke them this time and instead nodded in return. It seemed that he was feeling satisfied with their enthusiasm.
"Boss, from Big Bro." An Lin handed a box that An Luo had entrusted to him this morning before departure. After all, An Luo had guessed that he might not be able to return back.
San Xia kicked An Lin to the side. "Back off, I'm first!"
"What? It should be the right hand who present his present first, right? Don't cut the line!"
"Boss, here's my present." Lan Huo slipped in and put the box on the table before storming out of the room.
The two other people glared at the third person. They placed their present on the table before rushing out to give a certain someone a beating. How dare that Lan Huo used this chance to slip in between them?
"AAAAAAAA!"
"Come back here!"
"Damn it! Don't you dare to run away!"
"No way, I'm not going to let you catch me!"
The other people who stayed in the island were jolted awake when they heard the commotion. They turned to look at the window and upon seeing that it was merely the three clowns, they turned around and returned back to sleep.
Of course, before they slept, they grumbled, "What in the world are they thinking to create prank like this again? It's almost midnight!"
"Hey stop!"
"No!"
Thus, no one was willing to interfere with them, allowing the three of them to run around the island in the middle of the night. It was only after some time had passed did they return back to rest and didn't disturb their Boss. They didn't want to earn the special prize named extra training.

Yu Yan was amused. Her eyes landed on the present that those three left behind. "What did they buy for you?"
"Hmm?" Long Ying opened the box casually. The first box contained a match and also a box of cigarette that Long Ying usually used. He already rarely smoked but it seemed that his subordinate still thought to prepare a set for him.
The second box contained several photos of Long Ying and Yu Yan together during training. It seemed that one of them secretly took photos. Upon seeing them, Yu Yan's face turned red in embarrassment.
The third box contained a bottle of wine. From the age written there, it seemed to be high quality wine.
Long Ying narrowed his eyes. "San Xia is taking this from the warehouse again."
Yu Yan was speechless.
The last box contained a box. Yu Yan didn't need to read the word to know what it was. Her face turned red in embarrassment while Long Ying looked at his wife with meaningful look.
"Shall we use the present they have thoughtfully prepared for us?"
Yu Yan shot a look at Long Ying. "It's already late. Have you eaten dinner?"
"I eat in the plane." Long Ying felt a bit guilty when he looked at the clock. He only managed to return back home a quarter before 12. It was indeed already very late and Yu Yan was also tired from training and preparing everything.
Forget it, he would ask for that at other time.
"Shall I taste the cake?"
"Will you?"
Long Ying chuckled and Yu Yan smiled. She then sang the happy birthday song for him, take some pictures, and finally cut the cake. Long Ying obviously got the first piece. He took a bite then scooped a mouthful for Yu Yan.
"It's late. I'll get fat eating dessert this late." Yu Yan furrowed her brows.
"You don't want to get fat but you don't mind me getting fat?" Long Ying ached his eyebrows.
"You won't get fat, right?" Yu Yan tilted her head. "But even if you do, I'll still like you."
Long Ying swallowed the cake in his mouth and internally sighed. This little lass was tempting him. Didn't she realize that she was playing with fire?
However, he didn't act on his impulse. After finishing eating a piece, he helped her store the rest in the refrigerator then brought her to their bedroom to have some rest.
