The family played together for a while and Xia Ning stood up to cook. She first saw the groceries on the table and then the box on the side.

 She was surprised. Seeing the words on the box, she turned around and looked at Qiao Yu behind her and said in surprise, “It's your birthday today?”

 She thought for a second and suddenly remembered that it really was Qiao Yu's birthday today. It was his 28th birthday.

 Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning and his eyes turned dark. He answered, “Yes.”

 Seeing him staring at her, Xia Ning felt a bit awkward. She could not blame him for not remembering his birthday. When she was chasing after him back then, he did not even pay attention to her and did not have the chance to celebrate his birthday.

 When they got married, she did want to celebrate his birthday, but he did not come back.

 After the divorce, she was disappointed. If she wanted to forget about him, how could she still remember his birthday?

 “I'm going to cook.” Xia Ning took the groceries and went into the kitchen.

 Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning's back and suddenly thought of something. He darted a look at Enoch. “Play here by yourself.” As he spoke, he stood up and went into the kitchen.

 Xia Ning took out meat, vegetables, and fish from the bag. After some thinking, she put some into the fridge and threw the rest of the food into the sink. She turned around and wanted to wash the vegetables. But when she looked over, she saw Qiao Yu walking in.

 “Sorry, I forgot today is your birthday,” Xia Ning said in a low voice with her back to Qiao Yu.

 Qiao Yu walked to Xia Ning's side and looked at her. “Now that you know, can we make up for it with birthday gifts?”

 “Huh?” Xia Ning tilted her head and looked at him in shock. The corner of her mouth twitched. How old was he to want a birthday gift?!

 Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning. “Can I choose a birthday gift?”

 …So he was talking about something like this? Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu somewhat helplessly. The somewhat depressing feeling just now disappeared at once.

 “So what do you want?” Xia Ning followed.

 Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning with deep eyes. “I only want you!”

 Xia Ning opened her eyes wide and stared at him. Was he being a perv?!

 All of a sudden, she felt something on her shoulder and a pair of hands fell onto it. Her eyes flashed and she moved her face away. She said in a low voice, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

 She had thought he would do something, but he did not move for a long time. Xia Ning felt a bit awkward and was about to go wash the vegetables when he talked suddenly.

 “That time in England, you celebrated my birthday. That night, there was a meeting and I came back late. You were already asleep so I did not wake you. I never told you that the cake you made was very good.”

Xia Ning's pupils contracted. She looked up at Qiao Yu in shock. He knew?! She thought the cake was thrown away by a servant.

 “That was my first time baking a cake.” Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu and smiled. “I'm glad you liked it.”

 Now that she heard the truth, the unwillingness in her heart was gone. After all, he cared about her. Back then, she did not lose everything.

 “I hope I can spend every birthday with you in the future.” Qiao Yu's hand fell onto Xia Ning's cheek, his eyes glowing.

 If he wanted to spend every birthday together, that means he wanted to be together forever. He wanted to confess whenever he felt like it, just like the innocent boys in college. She knew he wanted to make up for had been missing before.

 Xia Ning's eyelashes quivered a little. “How old are you to want a birthday celebration? Childish.” As she spoke, she turned around to wash the vegetables, but some emotion flew through her eyes.

 Suddenly, she felt something on her shoulder. Her body spun and she was pushed against the sink. Before she could speak, Qiao Yu held her face up and let her look at him. Seeing her flas.h.i.+ng gaze, he curled his lips. “Don't you know how big1 I am?”
