Lin Wan had fallen asleep.

Auntie Huang knew about the plan. She waited for Li Yanchen and the kids in the living room.

At 11 p.m., Li Yanchen woke his sons up at the office. “Let’s go home. It’s almost time.”

At the mention of “home”, the three kids sobered up. “Yay! It’s Auntie Lin’s birthday!”

It was late at night. The weather was chilly. They pulled their jackets tighter around them and headed to the garage.

Li Yanchen was worried he might not get the house decorated in time, so he had Secretary Han, Assistant Qin, the planning manager, and the deputy manager.

The two cars drove toward the Li family’s house.

When they arrived, Li Yanchen and the three kids stood in line with gift boxes in their hands. “Grandma Huang, how’s everything?”

“Sir,” said Auntie Huang when she saw them. “Young masters, everything is ready. ”

“Great,” said Li Yanchen. “You guys set up the balloons.”

In the master bedroom on the second floor, Lin Wan jumped around for a long time on the bed and eventually fell asleep. She did not hear Auntie Huang knocking on her door.

“You all can wait here and continue with the preparations,” said Li Yanchen as he set down the gift boxes on the floor. “I will go up and take a look.”

Li Yanchen quietly opened the bedroom door and entered. He saw that Lin Wan was fast asleep. Her phone was still playing the “Happy Birthday” song. A bath towel was tied around her waist and she was hugging a pillow as she slept. His heart ached.

Li Yanchen leaned over her and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Happy Birthday, honey,” he whispered.

He looked at her with a gaze full of affection. His lips moved lower to her lips. Suddenly, Lin Wan opened her eyes and pushed him away with a scream. She was startled.

The three children who had been waiting outside patiently heard the scream. They rushed in. “What’s wrong?!”

Lin Wan was stunned. She pulled the blankets tighter around her. “You guys are finally back.” She thought she was dreaming. “Why aren’t you all asleep in your rooms?”

“Sir,” said Auntie Huang as she appeared at the door. “It’s time.” “Happy Birthday, wifey,” said Li Yanchen.

The three children smiled brightly at her. “Happy Birthday, Ms. Lin!”

Lin Wan was speechless.

“Ms. Lin, your phone has a long-lasting battery! It’s still playing the birthday song. ”

Lin Wan was embarrassed. How could she let them know that she cared this much about her birthdav? She snatched her Dhone uD and Dut the song off. “Ah… it’s the automatic messages. They have become so advanced these days. They even send multimedia messages! I must have fallen asleep after opening it.”

“How did you guys know it was my birthday?” she asked.

Li Zexuan glanced at his brothers. “Let’s go downstairs.”

Lin Wan was confused. Li Yanchen also got up from the bed and walked out of the room.

‘Did they come here in the middle of the night just to wish me?’ wondered Lin

Wan.

Lin Wan was a little disappointed. She sat there, feeling dejected.

However, Li Zexin rushed in the next moment. “Ms. Lin, Happy Birthday!” He handed her the gift in his hand. “This is for you. I even engraved the words here by myself.”

Li Zexin seemed to want to explain more, but his younger brother pushed him aside. Li Zekai opened his gift and poured out a pile of candies. “Auntie Lin, these are all for you! You don’t even have to worry about cavities. These candies are all good for the teeth!”

Li Zexuan picked up his little brother and placed him on the sofa. He held his gift in his hands and sat down beside Lin Wan. “Ms. Lin, I have the best gift for you. It’s a necklace. It has smiley faces on it. I hope you will smile more and always remain happy.”

Li Zexuan opened the box. The necklace gleamed in the light. The diamonds glittered dazzlingly.

Li Zexin and Li Zekai immediately felt as though their gifts were worthless. They lowered their heads and watched their brother.

The moment he placed the necklace in her lands, Li Yanchen walked into the room with several large gift boxes and placed them on the bed. “It’s my turn now. You guys can leave.”

The three children were stunned. “We aren’t done yet!” said Li Zexin and Li Zekai together.

“Mr. Li, you get to see her every day,” said Li Zexuan. “Can’t we at least spend some time with her today?”

“Dad, you are an adult. You have to give in to children,” said Li Zexin.

“Get out. Go and rest. We have a big day tomorrow,” said Li Yanchen as he ushered the three children to the door. “I have a lot of gifts so it will take a long time. Go to sleep, alright? We will continue tomorrow.”

The three children were kicked out of the room. Li Yanchen locked the door. He turned to Lin Wan and smiled.

“If I knew they would insist on staying here, I would have never allowed the children to participate with me,” he said. “They are hellbent on snatching all the time away.”

Lin Wan was still in a daze. Things had happened so fast. Li Yanchen and the kids hadn’t forgotten her birthday. They deliberately came late at night because they were preparing a surprise for her!

“Wanwan, I am so sorry I left you alone tonight. This is your first birthday after our marriage. I wanted it to be special,” said Li Yanchen. “The kids had already prepared their gifts, and I feared they would come home and ruin the surprise.

So, I had them taken to the office.”

Lin Wan’s mood was like a roller coaster. Just a few hours ago, she had been feeling sad and disappointed. Now, she felt overwhelmed by their thoughtfulness.

The gifts were secondary. She felt grateful that they cared for her this much.

“You knew my birthday was coming. You deliberately pretended not to know. So, that you could surprise me,” said Lin Wan. Everything made sense now.

“How can I forget your birthday?” he said as he pulled her into his arms. “Here, let me show you the presents.”

“Did you buy the presents for all the birthdays that are yet to come?” asked Lin Wan.

“No,” he said. “These are for your 29th birthday. More presents will follow next vear.” He Dressed his chin softlv over her head.

He opened the gifts one after the other. Lin Wan saw that some held pieces of jewelry, others contained designer bags, and some other bags had clothes. Every single gift box had a card. Li Yanchen had written about things he had found memorable after they met.

The words on the cards touched her more than the gifts.

Lin Wan felt a lump in her throat. When her grandmother was still alive, she would always cook her a bowl of noodles and add an egg for her birthday. After she went to the orphanage, she hadn’t celebrated even one birthday ever again. However, the director’s mother had always thrown a birthday party for all the kids in the orphanage on the same day.

Later, Yang Ruoxi accompanied her on her birthday. She didn’t know how to bake a cake, but she always made sure to cook a table full of dishes to celebrate Lin Wan’s birthday.

After her grandmother died, Lin Wan had never felt the warmth and love of a family. However, her husband and her children had prepared a special birthday surprise for her at this moment. She felt touched and overwhelmed by all the love..
