Chapter 645 Birthday wishes
When Ai merrily walked into the room, a certain sulking and displeased figure immediately grabbed her in his arms, narrowing his eyes at her. "Why am I the fourth person to wish you a happy birthday?"
Ai raised her brow, watching the grievances overflowing in his expression. She smiled. "It's your punishment for acting sneaky with me."
"When did I act sneaky with you?"
"For many days now. You were acting oddly and now I know why."
"Is that so?"
She nodded after which the luster in her eyes became all too evident. "So, so what is my surprise?"
Jun clicked his tongue. "Do you think it will be so easy to squeeze the answer out of me?"
Ai cleared her throat and twirled her finger on her chest and shyly said in a husky with rose-tinted cheeks, "What if I seduce you?"
He pressed his palm deeper on to her waist, making her heart race faster. She felt his handsome face inching closer towards her with his jaw longingly brushing past her cheek. "That is a tempting offer…" he whispered.
She nodded. "Very tempting."
"So tempting that I almost slipped up."
"..."
Jun immediately withdrew with a crafty smile on his lips. "You were very close, darling but your boyfriend has worked very hard for your surprise. It would be such a shame to spill it now~"
Ai inwardly made a tch sound.
I was so close.
He walked to the bed and picked up his pillow and blanket. He kissed her lips and smiled. "Happy Birthday, Ai. Though I am the fourth person to wish you and I am definitely salty about it, I will compensate for it with my surprise."
Ai saw him ready to leave the room and asked, "Wait, where are you going?"
"To sleep in another room. I don't want my girlfriend using some other seduction trick in the middle of the night to get her answer."
"How rude," Ai threw him a displeased look. "Do you think I am so shameless?"
He smiled. "You have been part of the Liu family for long enough to learn shamelessness from us. I cannot take any chances. Good night, love."
"..."
—
"Happy Birthday sister-in-lawwwww!!!"
"Happy Birthday Aiiiiii!!!"
As soon as the next morning's sun lit up the sky and Ai stepped out, she was cornered by four figures rushing and running towards her at the same time.
The twins, Liu Hai and Jing caught her in such a massive bear hug that nothing beyond them was visible to her anymore.
"Hey take your hands off her!" The twins pulled Ai to her side.
"You get away, you stinky brats!" Liu Hai and Jing pulled her towards them in turn.
"Shut up. Ai's birthday will brighten more with us beside her and not with some bunch of old people!" Jian sneered.
"Who are you calling old!?" Liu Hai's gaze darkened. "I still beat you in all levels of handsomeness and beauty!"
Jing rolled his eyes. "Let's just say that this house survives on my beauty, okay?"
"Um…" Ai tried to intervene but it was useless in front of the bickering quadruple gang until they were smacked hard by Nana and Nuo.
"Leave the poor girl alone!"
"Can you not see that you are making sister-in-law breathless!?"
Nian pouted. "How mean, Mom and Nuo," he squished his face against hers and cheerfully exclaimed, "We are just expressing our love and wishes for Ai, who by the way, is celebrating her first birthday in the Liu villa!"
Nana's one hard stare was enough for everybody to take a step back.
"Good."
It was then that Nana and Nuo gave her their wishes too.
"Happy Birthday sister-in-law!" Nuo eagerly hugged her and twirled with her. "I am so excited! Especially for Bro Jun's surprise~"
Ai's ears perked up with that. "Do you know what it is?"
She grinned. "Hmm I have a little idea about it but sorry sister-in-law. My lips are sealed."
their expressions.
"Ai dear. Happy Birthday! I pray for you to have a wonderful life "That's not fair."
From the back, Liu Chunhua too arrived wheeling Great-grandma Liu outside. Both of them had one eighty degrees of contrast in their expressions.
"Ai dear. Happy Birthday! I pray for you to have a wonderful life ahead."
"Thank you Grandma," Ai's eyes shone with warmth as she hugged her.
Naturally, Grandma Liu harrumphed at this get-together. "Why are you all crowding like it's a festival?"
"It's sister-in-law's birthday, Grandma!" The twins chirped.
Ai sincerely bobbed her head. "So please wish me, Grandma."
"..."
"You have some nerve to shamelessly ask me to wish you!"
"Because you won't wish me otherwise."
"Why do you think that I will wish you if you ask for it?" Her brow twitched.
"Because I sincerely ask for your blessings and you won't deny my innocent request, right? It's my birthday."
"Hah!"
"And I am cute too."
"..."
Nana and Liu Chunhua coughed.
Great-grandma Liu gritted her teeth, glaring at the troublesome quadruple gang. "Stop hanging out with her. She is catching on to your shamelessness!"
Jing raised his palm. "Excuse me but why are we always unfairly blamed? You gave birth to Dad. Dad gave birth to Bro and I, Bro had five siblings so doesn't it mean that the source of the shamelessness is flowing from you and Great-grandpa?"
He immediately made a rest-in-peace sign for his late great-grandfather. The twins and Liu Hai followed.
Great-grandma Liu's expression twisted so hard that she wanted to bang her head on the wall. "Shut up, Jing! You spout nonsense as always!" She then tiredly exhaled. "Why do I bother talking to you? Chunhua, take me away from here until I really kill one of these four today."
Liu Chunhua silently glared at them, signaling them not to make any more trouble.
Nana smiled after she left. "Don't worry about Grandma. She might not show it, but she has slowly started to accept you. Hehe, I know that she must have brought her own present for you but is too embarrassed to give it."
"Aiiiii!!"
Another thrilled voice soon echoed in the villa as Shui arrived to wish Ai too. "Happy Birthday!"
