Yueyao’s birthday fell on the weekend. Hua Jin had wanted to bring Liang Yin along, but she had to stay on set to catch up on filming progress. Hence, she asked Hua Jin to help deliver the gift she had prepared.
The actor hadn’t expected Liang Yin to be so thoughtful as to have prepared a gift. He didn’t know what it was, but along the way, his curiosity grew. He stared at the gift box, eager to see it, but finally restrained himself.
When Hua Jin arrived at the Mu residence with Liang Yin’s gift, he realized that the presents from family and friends were piled up like a mountain on the living room floor.
Yun Shishi sat on the floor with Yueyao in her arms, encouraging the girl to unwrap the presents. Off to the side, the twins provided assistance. After all, it would take some effort to unwrap so many gifts.
All the guests stood around with smiles on their faces as they watched Yueyao unwrap her presents. Everyone wanted to know if their present was liked by the little girl.
Most of the guests were close family friends of the Mu family. Some were senior executives of the Shengyu Group, while others were personal friends of Mu Yazhe and Yun Shishi.
Hua Jin glanced around and noticed a diamond-studded gift box. In this box was a key. The key had a retro feel to it, with a hollowed-out rose pattern, in the style of the medieval European court. He asked Yun Shishi curiously, “Who gave this key?”

She looked up at him with a helpless smile. “That’s from Xiao Jie.”
“… He gave her a key?”
Hua Jin picked up the key, looking doubtful. He couldn’t make any sense of it and could not figure out what this particular key was for.
Yun Shishi shrugged helplessly and explained, “It’s a key to a castle…”
The actor was stumped.
Gong Jie… gave Yueyao a castle!?
Was he always this extravagant?!
A castle!
“I heard it came with an island.”
The actor mumbled, “That’s really extravagant.”
“Xiao Jie said that she’s his only niece, so he naturally has to give her everything. However, I also joked that if we celebrated her birthday every year, and he were to give her a castle on an island every year. He would probably go bankrupt before Yueyao became an adult.”
The boy looked up, with a wicked smile on his delicate face. “It’ll be interesting to see if he gives me a castle for my birthday, too.”
As far as he knew, Gong had four castles, six islands, and three private planes under his name.
The boy had been thinking about Gong Jie’s private luxury superyacht and planned to take the opportunity to ask him for it on his birthday.
The actor carefully set aside this key that was supposedly worth tens of millions of dollars, and rubbed his hands together. At the same time, he handed her the birthday present he’d prepared and the one Liang Yin had prepared.
“Here! This is the birthday gift I prepared for Yueyao!”
Yun Shishi took it from him and realized there were actually two gifts.
“Why are there two presents?”
“One is from Liang Yin.”
“Liang Yin… Ah!” Yun Shishi suddenly remembered. “Was it the girl you were with when we went on vacation?”
“Uh huh.”
“By the way, why don’t I see her around?”
The actor replied1, “She’s been busy recently and doesn’t have time to come, so she asked me to send the gift over to thank you for your hospitality and care throughout our vacation. In addition, she asked me to wish Yueyao a happy birthday on her behalf.”
