Xin Nianyin had never seen Gu Jianming so serious.

Subconsciously, she was willing to believe that what he said was true.

"Nothing happened between me and Xin Qingwan."

Gu Qi continued to speak, his pitch-black eyes staring at the silent Xin Nianyin.

"I didn't forget your birthday."

Many years later, Xin Nianyin always wanted to be able to say to her, "I love you."

At that time, Xin Xinyin realized that this man's love wasn't limited to just a few words, but was rather a little bit of life itself.

Xin Nianyin looked at him in confusion. Gu Jianming had been abnormal since tonight, extremely abnormal.

He clearly wanted to send her to see Buddha, but now he said something weird to her.

"Xin Nianyin, the gossip outside is about the real male lead. It's about the person in the photo of Xin Qingwan, not me."

Gu Qi ignored Xin Nianyin's doubts and continued to speak. He didn't care about her reaction, he just didn't want her to misunderstand.

"You, what?"

Xin Nianyin became more and more confused by his words. She didn't know which part of his words were true or false. Could it be such a coincidence that there was someone who looked so much like him?

Could it be?

"I didn't forget your birthday."

Gu Qi interrupted Xin Nianyin's thoughts and looked at her deeply.

Tonight, as if he was indulging himself, he explained so much to her. In the past, he had never tried to explain anything to her before. He was afraid that she would misunderstand, afraid that she would alienate him because of this misunderstanding.

But he knew better. He'd had enough of seeing her desperate eyes, and every time he saw her sad, his heart ached.

These days, he seemed to have returned to the time when his mother and brother had just passed away. He had been unable to sleep all night …

After finally getting a little sleep and touching that there was no familiar figure by his side, he would suddenly wake up and smoke all night long.

The only thing that remained in his mind was that familiar face.

Gu Jianming felt that Xin Nianyin was like a poison to him, and he was slowly becoming addicted.

Therefore, as soon as Gu Bei left for Southeast Asia, he couldn't wait to do these things.

"It's okay, it's just a birthday. It's always a birthday."

Xin Nianyin didn't know how to reply, but she could clearly see the loneliness, as well as the fear, on Gu Bo's face.

Her feet had been massaged by him, and now they really weren't numb at all.

Gu Wei didn't say anything, but his heart was thinking: Your birthday is every year, but this is the first birthday we have known.

However, he didn't say those words out loud.

Xin Nianyin sat on the sofa as if she were sitting on pins and needles. Heaven knows how much she wanted to leave right now. The atmosphere made her feel suffocated.

Furthermore, there was a man sitting beside her with a dark expression on his face.

Perhaps because he saw Xin Nianyin's uneasiness, Gu Jianming suddenly stood up and made an inviting gesture for her.

Although Xin Nianyin was puzzled, she still obediently handed over Gu Bainian's white and wide palm and let him lead her into the inner room.

She remembered what Pei Zi Yun had told her, that she was the only one in this place who had ever seen a woman before.

Thinking of this, the corner of Xin Nianyin's mouth unconsciously lifted upwards. She didn't even notice it herself.

Within two minutes, they were outside a door.

Xin Nianyin was familiar with this place. This was the place where she had woken up.

"This man, could it be …" "He …"

Xin Nianyin's face suddenly turned red as she thought of something.

Naturally, he couldn't hide it from Gu Mi's eyes. How long had it been since he last saw this woman blushing?

Now that he saw it, it made him instantly happy. He knew very well what she was thinking, and he wanted nothing more than to give her what she wanted.

But right now, he had more important things to do.

"Push the door open."

Gu Qi said from the side with a slight smile, and her tone was extremely gentle.

Xin Nianyin felt that he was simply trying to seduce her. Right now, she couldn't even think about what he was thinking. She could only listen to him.

The scene behind the door was unimaginable to Xin Nianyin.

This place was simply like a sea of lilies. With just a little bit of candlelight, one would be able to see the endless blue starry sky.

Xin Xinyin loved lilies the most. They were light and sweet, similar to the smell of her mother's body. However, she had never told anyone about it. How could he know?

Right now, Gu Qi was filling the room with lilies, obviously knowing her preferences. Also, this starry sky was exactly the same as the one her mother showed her when she was young.

There were two people's tableware on the marble table beside the French windows. In the middle of the table, on top of a large sapphire, was a delicate heart-shaped box.

Xin Nianyin finally understood. Gu Jianming had said, "It's your birthday. I haven't forgotten."

She felt that all the happiness she had longed for since her mother's death had now become reality.

"So beautiful!" "So beautiful …"

From the moment she entered the room, the corners of her lips had always been raised. She softly sighed in admiration. Such a beautiful scene had been meticulously arranged.

Gu Wei Chen used his heart.

Seeing Xin Nianyin's stunning appearance, Gu Bo felt that all of this was worth it. For her, all of this was worth it.

Before she could smell the lilies, she was pushed to the table by Gu Huan.

Xin Nianyin looked at Gu Jianming in confusion, but was immediately attracted by the sapphire.

After all, the sapphire, under the light of the candlelight, gave off an exceptionally beautiful glow.

Gu Qi quietly took over the delicate box on top of the gem and slowly placed it in Xin Xinyin's hand.

"Open it and take a look."

His grave face had a faint smile on it the entire time. It was a very pretty face.

"Yes."

Xin Nianyin answered subconsciously. She was overwhelmed by the surprise tonight.

She didn't know why, but she felt as if this small box weighed millions of kilograms. Her open hands actually trembled a little.

After confirming the expression in Gu Qi's eyes, Xin Nianyin slowly opened the box in her hand.

"This …"

Xin Nianyin blurted out a word. The expression on her face could no longer be described with words.

What did she see? If it wasn't a ring, then what was it?

With a single look, one could tell that this ring was a priceless treasure. It was very generous, yet it did not lose out in extravagance. This kind of design seemed simple, but the production process was extremely complicated.

"This was left to me by my mother when she was alive. I'll give it to you now."

Gu Qi took the ring from Xin Nianyin's hand and put it on her clean ring finger, regardless of whether Xin Nianyin agreed or not.

It was neither loose nor tight, as if it was tailor-made.

"Gu Bo Chen, you …"

"It's nothing. It's a late birthday present."

Gu Qi deliberately played down some of the words that he was not used to saying.

"Cough cough, but this, isn't it too precious? Your mother's things …"

"Xin Xinyin, no matter what happens in the future, you have to trust me."

Gu Qi's expression suddenly became serious, but he didn't finish his sentence. In his heart, he added a sentence: "Believe me, I will protect you for the rest of your life."
