After leaving Golden Seas, Si Yehan returned to the ancestral Si residence first to visit his grandma before driving to Jin Garden and staying the night there.
Meanwhile, Ye Wanwan was lying in her bed, a bit fatigued from spending the day on the plane.
She was about to put down her phone and go to sleep when she saw the date on her phone. She abruptly rolled around and crawled back out of bed.
Today was December 21st, so tomorrow was December 22nd, which was the Winter Solstice and also… Si Yehan's birthday!
In all the time she'd known Si Yehan, he never mentioned his own birthday and wasn't accustomed to celebrating his birthday.
Ye Wanwan knew he didn't like to talk about his birthday, so she avoided mentioning it in the past.
Later, when Tangtang was staying with Yin Yuerong, he seemed to have talked about many things with Yin Yuerong and Ah-Jiu was brought up somewhere in the conversation.
After they returned to Yun City, she conversed with Tangtang, who mentioned Ah-Jiu was born on a very cold winter night.
She kept that in mind and had Tangtang call Yin Yuerong to ask when Si Yehan's birthday was.
Baby Tangtang successfully completed his mission and figured out his dad's birthday… which was December 22nd.
Today, she came back to China and saw her parents and was so preoccupied with revealing the truth to them, so she nearly forgot about it.
Ye Wanwan glanced at the time on her phone. It was 10 pm; midnight was two hours away.
Thank goodness! There's still time!
Ye Wanwan got out of bed and sprinted to Ye Shaoting and Liang Wanjun's room, asking them for her household registration booklet before going to Ye Mufan's room and knocking.
“Brother! Open the door, open the door!”
Ye Mufan opened the door, slippers on his feet and his posture slouched. “What is it? I was about to sleep…”
“Lend your car to me! I'm in a hurry!” Ye Wanwan asked in a rush.
Ye Mufan frowned. “It's late. Why aren't you sleeping?”
Ye Wanwan quickly responded, “Tomorrow's my baby's birthday. It'll be 12 in two hours! I need to hurry over and give him a surprise then wait in front of the civil administration office overnight so that we can become the first couple to be officially wed tomorrow morning! Isn't that so romantic?”
Stuffed with a bucket of dog food unexpectedly, Ye Mufan nearly suffocated. It took him a moment to regain his senses. “You're a girl; can't you act more reserved?”
Ye Wanwan was incredulous. “Are you kidding, Brother? My baby is so outstanding. If I was reserved, I'd have no place left! Hurry, hurry, give me your key!”
“…”
Ye Shaoting and Liang Wanjun appeared to have heard the commotion and also came out of their room.
Ye Mufan immediately seized the opportunity to tattle on her. “Dad, Mom, hurry and look at your daughter! She's stealing her household registration booklet in the middle of the night and wants to go get married to her man! Aren't you going to tell her off?”
Ye Shaoting glared at his son. “There's no stealing. I gave her the booklet.”
Ye Mufan: “…?”
Liang Wanjun also softly said, “It's good for young people to have pa.s.sion! Mufan, it's too late now, so it's not safe for Wanwan to be out by herself. Drive her there.”
Ye Mufan: “…???”
“Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom!” Ye Wanwan then urged him gloatingly, “Let's go, let's go! Or else we won't make it in time! I need to say happy birthday to my baby the second 12 o'clock hits! Oh right, if you could help me find a box of fireworks, that'd be even better!”
Ye Mufan simply wanted to kill her with a slap. “Fireworks my a**! Imperial City prohibits fireworks and firecrackers, alright?!”
