"I’m... I’m out here making money." Di Wu Yue felt a bit guilty, "Oh, Second Sister, it’s just a birthday, not a coming-of-age ceremony, and it’s not my zodiac year, no need to make such a fuss."
"Alright, as long as you’re aware of it." Di Wu Hua didn’t press further, "Take care of yourself while you’re out there, okay?"
"Got it, got it."
Di Wu Hua finished gathering intel and reported to Di Wu Chuan.
"This child." Di Wu Chuan sighed, "Truly seems to be falling into a money trap."
Di Wu Hua said, "Grandfather, it’s good that Yueyue has career aspirations."
"True, Xiao Hua, you’re five years older than Yueyue, and more experienced." Di Wu Chuan stroked his beard, "Yueyue is just at the age when she’s first experiencing romance. Keep an eye on the boys around her and make sure she doesn’t get deceived."
Di Wu Hua looked serious, "Certainly."
In reality, it was quite different.
The only guy left around Di Wu Yue was Xize Laurent.
If there really was something developing between them, not only would she not watch over them, but she would even give them some space.
At Lorentz Castle.
Di Wu Yue was also reminded by Di Wu Hua, realizing her nineteenth birthday was tomorrow.
She rested her chin on her hand and snorted.
Boyfriend, huh? Doesn’t even know her birthday.
Not good enough, she wanted to fire him.
While dismissing Xize, Di Wu Yue opened her iPad to watch Jiang Yi’s new drama.
As she watched, the clock ticked slowly to 11:57 PM.
A knock on the door sounded.
"Miss Yue." Job spoke respectfully, "The master invites you to the garden?"
"Late at night, what does he want now?" Di Wu Yue reluctantly closed the Grape Video app and had to go out.
Without permission, even direct lineage descendants weren’t allowed into the core of the castle.
Only young people were sitting on benches in the garden.
Di Wu Yue ran over, "What is it?"
Xize didn’t answer, but looked up, "Wait a moment."
Di Wu Yue was even more confused, "Huh?"
Three, two, one... The clock struck twelve punctually.
"Happy birthday," Xize lowered his head, "Was I the first?"
Di Wu Yue froze, "You..."
He knew her birthday?
She had gotten so caught up watching dramas that she forgot.
Before she could react, Xize signaled to Job, "The birthday gift."
Job pulled a green cloth from the side.
Only then did Di Wu Yue notice the dozen or so boxes piled up beside them.
"So many?" Di Wu Yue pretended to be unimpressed, "May I ask, Mr. Wealthy, can you not be so extravagant?"
Having money is no excuse for squandering.
Xize flicked his coat sleeve, "I’m used to it."
"..."
Di Wu Yue stepped forward and opened the first box.
Inside was a longevity lock made of jade.
A longevity lock for her nineteenth birthday?
Di Wu Yue was taken aback.
She took out the longevity lock and then saw a small card beneath it.
The card had a photo from her full moon celebration.
Beneath it was a line of words—
Happy full moon, Xiao Yueyue.
Di Wu Yue paused, unable to recover.
"Wear it well." Xize took the longevity lock from her hand, his voice calm, "I asked the boss, this piece of jade at least protects against three calamities."
"Your job requires you to travel, if one day I can’t be there, it will protect you."
Di Wu Yue’s eyes were sore, and she obediently lowered her head, "Okay."
"Alright." He let go of her hand, "There’s more."
Di Wu Yue continued opening.
