1342 Wen Fenglin’s Presen (1/2)
The voice was crisp and mesmerizing. It sounded as if it came from a faraway, ethereal source, passing through the galaxies and penetrating her soul. Yu Lili's heart was touched.
Ou Ming had changed into a burgundy suit. His hands carefully held a huge cake as he came closer. On the cake was an arrangement of lit candles–exactly 25 of them.
Two beautiful cartoon characters were drawn on the edge of the cake. However, the lines were wiggly and uneven. It took a lot of effort to make out that it was a boy and a girl.
”Wow!” Li Jianyue stood up and looked over. Her big round eyes remained fixated on the cake as she exclaimed, ”Is it Auntie Lili's birthday today?”
The sweet and saccharine sound of the little girl's voice broke the romantic silence that was in the air.
Ou Ming's lips lifted in a smile as he walked over. He stopped in front of Yu Lili and said, ”I'm now returning you the birthday celebration that I owed you this year. Happy Birthday.”
Yu Lili felt her eyes ache all of a sudden as tears welled up in them.
Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian had held her birthday celebration for her this year. Ou Ming hadn't taken part in it.
Yu Lili had never expected him to keep it in mind or to actually pick such a time when so many people were around to celebrate it for her. Was he doing this to return her dignity?
”Where were you the whole afternoon?” Yu Lili looked at him and admonished. She looked down at the cake and giggled. ”It's so ugly!”
When Ou Ming saw her reaction, his brows knitted together in a frown as he asked, ”Is it really ugly? It doesn't look that bad to me. As for the taste… Hmm… It should be passable.”
The cake was big, and the cartoon that was drawn on it was even bigger. Looking from the front of the cartoon, on the left on the male and the right of the female was written the names ”Ou Ming” and ”Yu Lili.”
”Pfft! Where does your confidence come from?” Yu Lili replied. ”Not only is it ugly, it clearly has your name written all over it!”
”How did you know I made it?” Ou Ming asked.
