"Ah!" As she entered the house, Yuan Li was so surprised that she covered her mouth with her hand, her beautiful eyes widened, and then, quickly, tears fell like pearls off a string.
"Happy birthday!" Ge Dongxu whispered into Yuan Li’s ear.
Unable to hold back any longer, Yuan Li threw herself into Ge Dongxu’s arms, and her rosy, luscious lips pressed against his.
"Thank you! How did you know today was my birthday?" After their lips parted following a long kiss, Yuan Li’s hands were still hooked around Ge Dongxu’s neck, unwilling to let go, as she looked at him with deep affection, shimmering tears still hanging in her eyes.
"Did you forget? The first time I went to your house, it happened to be your birthday. Right, and you talked about getting promoted. I didn’t expect that two years later, it’s both your birthday and a promotion again," Ge Dongxu said with a smile as he gently wiped the tears from Yuan Li’s face.
"I’ve been so busy with work lately, if it wasn’t for the cake on the table, I would have forgotten it was my birthday," Yuan Li said. Unable to resist, she leaned in and kissed Ge Dongxu again passionately.
After a long time, they parted lips.
"Make a wish and blow out the candles," Ge Dongxu said.
"Mhm!" Yuan Li let go of him and walked to the cake, brought her hands together in prayer, and made a wish in a voice so soft that only she could hear. Stay updated with Freewebnovel
However, Ge Dongxu’s hearing was not like other people’s, and he still heard Yuan Li’s wish.
As Yuan Li opened her eyes ready to blow out the candles, Ge Dongxu couldn’t help but wrap his arms tightly around her slender waist from behind.
Because Yuan Li’s wish was only one thing, for the heavens to bless Ge Dongxu with safety and health.
"Why suddenly hug me like this? I still need to blow out the candles!" Yuan Li’s body stiffened slightly; then she quickly rolled her eyes in a pretend casual manner.
"No reason, just wanted to hold you," Ge Dongxu said affectionately. He didn’t tell Yuan Li that he had heard her wish.
Yuan Li suddenly felt the urge to cry but held back, then puffed up her cheeks and blew out the candles.
"Happy birthday!" Ge Dongxu said again, offering his wishes. At the same time, he grabbed Yuan Li’s hand and slid the violet Jade Bracelet onto her wrist.
"Ah!" Yuan Li looked at the violet Jade Bracelet that had suddenly appeared on her wrist, its dreamlike luster shimmering under the light. She exclaimed in surprise and stared at the bracelet for a long time, speechless.
With too many words to say, and too many emotions surging within her, Yuan Li ended up saying nothing. Instead, she turned around sharply, her arms once again encircling Ge Dongxu’s neck, and her moist lips sealed his again.
After a long time, a blushing Yuan Li finally pushed Ge Dongxu away.
"Let’s eat first. If you really want to, we, well, we can do that later," Yuan Li said with a sidelong glance at Ge Dongxu, her voice low and her face flushed.

Ge Dongxu heard the implication in Yuan Li’s words, and while his heart fluttered, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of frustration and disappointment.
When will it finally be Dragon Tiger Realm!
"Cough cough, thank you, Sister Li. You’ve seen what I’m capable of; you know I practice martial arts. Actually, because of my training, it’s not advisable for me to be close to a woman right now, so... cough cough!" Ge Dongxu said, looking quite embarrassed as thoughts of Dragon Tiger Realm crossed his mind.
"Ah!" Yuan Li was taken aback upon hearing this and then remembered the subtext in her own words, her pretty face turning a deep shade of red.
"Sister Li, let’s just eat first," seeing Yuan Li’s cheeks flush, Ge Dongxu quickly brought up having dinner.
Seeing Ge Dongxu hurriedly change the subject, Yuan Li regained her composure, gifted him with a sweet smile, nodded, and took her seat at the table.
"Today is your birthday, and it’s also a day for promotion, let’s have some wine. But we’ll only have two glasses, can’t drink too much," Ge Dongxu said as he poured a cup of Yellow Wine for Yuan Li after they sat at the table.
"Don’t worry, I know my limits," Yuan Li couldn’t help but recall the first time she had drinks with Ge Dongxu at her place, her fair cheeks turning red again.
