Chapter 1087 LUO REN'S PERPETUAL CONCERN
LUO YAN looked at his brother's watch and was reminded of the customized watch he gave to Shen Ji Yun on the other's birthday. But unlike Luo Ren, Shen Ji Yun was not wearing the watch like an everyday item. On the other hand, he's wearing the bracelet they got in Chengdu, like some kind of charm.
According to Shen Ji Yun, he would only wear the watch during special occasion. Because it's the first birthday present he received from Luo Yan, he wanted to treasure it all the more.
It was the same for Luo Yan, though. He gave a quick glance at the red bracelet he's wearing. All of Shen Ji Yun's gifts to him had been safely tucked in his room. If he could, he even wanted to make replicas of all the items Shen Ji Yun had given him in the game.
"Brother, are you going back to work?"
Luo Jin's question pulled back Luo Yan from his thoughts. Come to think of it, their older brother was still wearing a suit. His car wasn't even in the garage, but was just parked in the driveway. Which meant that he was about to leave the house to go somewhere, more likely, the company.
"Yeah, I still have a meeting. I just return to get this," Luo Ren said, raising the manila envelope he's holding.
"You could have just asked your secretary to do that for you," Luo Yan said. "Then Brother didn't have to go back and forth like this."
"I could. But I just came from an on-site inspection and our house was just on the way, so, I might as well get it myself," Luo Ren explained. "Anyway, I'll go now. And oh, Yan Yan, don't forget to study."
Luo Yan chuckled and could only say, "Yes, yes."
That meant waiting for another two years.
Just thinking about it was a bit heartbreaking. But if he couldn't even wait for two years, could he still honestly tell himself that he deserved Yu Jiao?
So, he chose to wait, finding comfort in their friendship for the time being. Besides, it's not like there wasn't any development. At least now, Yu Jiao no longer felt awkward around him. She could even smile so naturally, like when he was with Luo Yan. That's certainly tremendous progress. And a win for him. Because it meant that the two of them had gotten much closer.
Just a look, a smile, or a message from Yu Jiao would make him happy, as anything from her was better than nothing.
Anyway, since today was a weekday, their family planned to celebrate his birthday by having dinner at home. Of course, it would be much more festive than their normal dinner.
People of their economic and social status would usually hold formal or extravagant parties to accommodate other prominent people in society. But Luo Ren wasn't really into those types of things. Spending his birthday with his family was enough for him.
Of course, he had invited Yu Jiao and Aunt Xiuying to his birthday dinner. There's no way he would miss the chance to spend his birthday with Yu Jiao.
It's a good thing that they all went to Yu Jiao's birthday dinner before. So, it wasn't so hard to convince them to come. After all, they could no longer use the excuse of them intruding in another family's private event when the Luo family did it first.
This made Luo Ren excited about his birthday this year. He wondered if Yu Jiao would give him a gift. Well, knowing how thoughtful the other was, she would definitely give him one. This made him even more excited.
And soon, evening came.
