The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Granny came down and went straight to Jian Dan’s side, “Dan Dan, tell me, I even forgot it was your birthday today. I’ll go make you longevity noodles right now…”

“It’s okay, we’ll take off first. There’s something else!” Chu Liyuan stood up, pulled Jian Dan, and headed out.

Not to mention everyone else, even Jian Dan herself hadn’t reacted yet, and she was being dragged away by Uncle. “No worries, I won’t eat then, we’re taking off first!” Jian Dan, being tugged by Chu Liyuan, called out to the people behind her.

Jian Dan, stuffed into the car by Uncle, looked at Chu Liyuan who sat down in the driver’s seat. “Uncle, what are you doing? Everyone wants to celebrate my birthday!” It felt somewhat improper to leave like this.

“Today, you belong to me alone!” Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan, his eyes deeply set upon her.

Jian Dan immediately fell deep into his gaze, utterly captivated.

How could Uncle always be so charming?

Seeing his face every day, still mesmerized by it each time.

Chu Liyuan floored the accelerator, and the car shot out…

After a long drive in the car, when they stopped, Jian Dan recognized the place as familiar. Stepping out, she found herself at Uncle’s mother’s art studio!

“Uncle, why did you suddenly bring me here!” Since she had returned, she hadn’t visited even once!

“Jian Jian, apart from today being your birthday, it’s also another special day!”

“A special day?”

“We got married on this day too!” This little confused girl, to actually forget such an important day.

And generally, aren’t these kinds of things supposed to be better remembered by women?

With Uncle’s reminder, Jian Dan suddenly realized.

Yes! She and Uncle got married on her 20th birthday!

She hadn’t realized Uncle had always kept it in his heart.

Chu Liyuan pulled Jian Dan into his embrace, “So tell me, don’t you think you should belong only to me today?” A deep hue tinged Chu Liyuan’s attentive gaze.

Jian Dan hugged Chu Liyuan back, her chin resting on his chest, looking up into Uncle’s eyes. “Uncle, what would have happened if we hadn’t met 7 years ago?”

“Don’t know!” He didn’t want to know either; all he knew was that he had met Jian Jian, the girl who drove him crazy.

“Do you think we’d each have our own little families by now?”

“No!” Chu Liyuan was certain, if he hadn’t met Jian Jian in this lifetime, he might have never married.

He would’ve lived in a cold world, with not a hint of color—it was Jian Jian who brought color to his life.

“Huh??” Jian Dan looked up at Chu Liyuan with a puzzled tilt of her head.

“Because Jian Dan will always belong to Chu Liyuan only!”

Such a domineering statement, yet so pleasing to hear.

It felt like the most beautiful declaration of love in the world.

“Uncle, could you repeat what you just said?” Jian Dan asked, her eyes filled with deep affection.

“Chu Liyuan will also only ever belong to Jian Dan!”

Although Uncle didn’t repeat his earlier words exactly as they were, this statement sounded equally moving!

“Look-”

Only then did Jian Dan notice that Uncle’s suit cufflinks were embroidered with the beautiful character ‘Jian’.

“This is…”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to imprint something exclusively ‘Jian Dan’ on me? All my personal stuff will bear this exclusive logo.”

Jian Dan was so touched at that moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Uncle had taken a joke she made seriously and had even fulfilled it.

At that moment, Jian Dan also noticed that Uncle’s tie clip had the character ‘Jian’ on it.

Was she really that careless? She hadn’t noticed at all.

“Uncle, you’ve done so much, and I haven’t done anything for you!”

“You have!”

“Ah?”

“By being by my side!”

“But I didn’t even prepare a gift for Uncle!” Today was a day for just the two of them.

Hearing Jian Dan’s words, Chu Liyuan’s face lit up with a mischievous smile. “Aren’t you the best gift yourself?” Saying so, he slung Jian Dan over his shoulder and strode into the art studio…
