Chapter 168 Chasing You Back

Chu Wan and Huo Yanzheng sat facing each other, with a dining table between them.

The dining table is not big, so the distance between Chu Wan and Huo Yanzheng is not far.

Chu Wan took the initiative to add a few more chopsticks for Huo Yanzheng, and Huo Yanzheng finished eating slowly, with a noble demeanor in every gesture.

This meal, as usual, took a long time and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After the meal, the servants removed the leftovers from the table and wiped the table clean.

Generally speaking, Huo Yanzheng would go to the study to deal with work after dinner, but he didn't leave until the surprise that Chu Wan had mentioned was fully revealed.

Huo Yanzheng, who was staying in the living room, sat idly on the sofa. He picked up a financial newspaper and read it silently.

Bright chandeliers are hung on the high ceiling, and the reflected light is in a cool white tone, but because of the quiet and warm atmosphere, it has a warm temperature.

The light shone on Huo Yanzheng's cold face, dyed his handsome brows and eyes, and softened the fierce aura around him.

There was only Huo Yanzheng in the living room, the servants had already rested or left one after another, and Chu Wan had disappeared, so she didn't know where she went.

Huo Yanzheng flipped through the financial newspapers without any second thought, and after an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a brisk voice with a deep smile came from behind him.

It made him startled suddenly, numb.

He held the newspaper with both hands again and again, and his eyes became darker and unfathomable. He seemed to be stunned, but also seemed to be shocked, and he didn't turn around for a long time.

"Huo Yanzheng, happy birthday." Chu Wan said again.

A few not-so-special words echoed clearly in Huo Yanzheng's ears, as if there were echoes in the open and bright space, they penetrated into his ears over and over again, and penetrated deep into his heart.

Layer upon layer of ripples were evoked, and countless ripples emerged.

Is today his birthday?

But he doesn't remember.

I can't remember when was the last time he celebrated his birthday.

Whenever his birthday is deserted, monotonous and lonely, no one cares about it, and no one celebrates him.

He thought that no one would remember even his birthday, which he had forgotten.

He, who is not used to birthdays, has been here for so many years. In his eyes, birthdays are no different from the past. They are all ordinary and nothing special.

He followed the routine step by step, repeating the busy work of the previous day.

The pace of life is fast and slow, and slow and fast, and it is always the same.

But she never thought that Chu Wan would remember his birthday.

Also personally said to him, happy birthday.

Huo Yanzheng's thoughts were surging, like a dam that had opened its gates. The flood flooded and poured down, sweeping all over his body, making him, who had always been mature and stable, tremble slightly.

After a long time, he turned his head stiffly, like a rusty and aging sewing machine, the mechanical arc was not large, but a little dull.

What caught his dim eyes was Chu Wanhua's gleaming little face.

She held the cake carefully in both hands, and walked towards him with full steps.

There are candles on the cake, the candles are lit, and a few clusters of small flames flicker, giving off a faint light in the dark and silent night.

The faint light was not very clear, as if a gust of wind could extinguish it.

But it was this gleam of light that lit up the dark colors in Huo Yanzheng's eyes, ignited the spark in his silent heart, and let the warmth flow in his bone marrow.

It also melted the coldness on his face inch by inch.

"You, how do you remember my birthday?" When Chu Wan got closer, Huo Yanzheng tightened his grip on the newspaper.

"What's the problem? It's written on our marriage certificate."

Chu Wan had torn up the marriage certificate many times, and later reissued it many times. Chu Wan clearly remembered that the last time it was reissued was last month.

Holding the newly reissued marriage certificate in her hand, she couldn't help but become cautious, and couldn't put it down, turning the marriage certificate over and over again to look at it.

Huo Yanzheng's birthday was clearly recorded on the marriage certificate.

She saw it and remembered it.

"I thought that no one would remember my birthday." It's not uncommon for a day that even my biological parents can forget, even if no one remembers it.

What's more, he never expected that anyone would remember.

"Perhaps, others may not remember your birthday, but I will." People who are not close may not necessarily remember his birthday, but she does not belong to this category, she will remember.

Chu Wan held the cake and sat down beside Huo Yanzheng. There was a soft light in her eyes, which complemented the swaying small flames, showing a dazzling beauty: "Besides, every year from now on, on your birthday, I will I have been with you."

Every year on his birthday, she is willing to spend it with him.

Chu Wan's small face was full of smiles and sincerity.

Huo Yanzheng's fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints, like a flawless work of art, too good-looking, a little cool.

Even though he crumpled the flat newspaper, he didn't seem to know it.

Huo Yanzheng's body was still tense and straight, and he didn't move a bit from the beginning to the end, "You are not a person who doesn't count your words. Since it is a promise you made on your own initiative, don't forget it easily."

Huo Yanzheng's voice was dull, like a straight line without any ups and downs, and it also revealed a little carelessness.

But under this dullness, what is overwhelmed is the turbulent paranoia and possessiveness like overwhelming mountains and seas.

"I've wanted to celebrate your birthday for a long time, but I didn't miss it on purpose in the past, but I couldn't find a chance."

After pulling out the divorce certificate, she and Huo Yanzheng parted ways and went their separate ways. He was no longer in her life, but he could be seen everywhere.

He has long been engraved in her memory, and branded in the deepest part of her soul.

"The promises I made to you are all sincere, not deceitful. If I can say it, I won't break my promise. You don't have to worry about me going back on my word." Chu Wan swore.

The promise was not made casually, she did not joke, nor would she break her promise.

Huo Yanzheng looked at the cake held in her hands. The cake was divided into three layers, with milky white cream layered on top of each other, decorated with different fruits.

The top layer of cake is painted in the shape of a heart.

In the center of the heart, his name is written.

Looking at it as a whole, it is romantic, small and beautiful.

Huo Yanzheng had a lot of entertainment, including not many birthday parties, but not too few. Looking at the novel and unique cake in front of him, he thought it was the most beautiful and unique cake he had ever seen.

"Oh, it's useless for you to go back and forth. If you dare to be absent, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will chase you back!"

"In the column of spouse on your marriage certificate, only my name can be written, and no one else can covet you except me!"

The small flame of the candle flickered, Huo Yanzheng's dark pupils were thick with darkness, anyway, it would be useless for anyone to covet her in this life.

The only person who can possess her is him.
