“I’ll go.” Gu Jingyuan suddenly returned to his senses and remembered Liang Xinran’s birthday.

He had been busy these two days and had almost forgotten.

He said to the manager, “Go back and rest. Just wait and see if there’s anything you need to deal with later. I’ll go buy the cake.”

The manager thought about it and agreed, leaving.

Liang Xinran removed her makeup and lay on the bed.

Hearing the phone, she picked it up.

Her mother’s voice sounded from the phone. “Child, you haven’t picked up for days! Have you forgotten your birthday today?”

“Mom, my friends are celebrating my birthday with me.” Only then did Liang Xinran remember that it was her birthday today.

Previously, she had wanted to spend her birthday with Gu Jingyuan. Who knew that such a thing would suddenly happen? She did not have time to care at all.

“I saw everything about you on the hot search. Your father also arranged for people to investigate in the company and try to get more information. You said your friends are celebrating your birthday with you? There’s no one by your side now, right?”

Liang Xinran’s eyes heated up slightly. “No, there’s still people by my side.”

“This matter is indeed not easy to resolve, but it’s not impossible. What a coincidence these two days. Your father is overseas and can’t rush back even if he books a flight at the last minute. I can’t help much for the time being. I knew that you were busy today so I only called you now.”

“Mom, after I’m done with these few days, I’ll make up for my birthday at home and have a good meal with you and Dad.”

“Yes, you have to look out for yourself too. I’ve already instructed the company to help you stabilize everyone’s emotions.”

The company Liang Xinran was in was run by her father. The Liang family also had some qualifications and background. They had a say in some investments and had protected her until today. However, this matter was too serious and they could not protect her completely.

Mother Liang’s voice was filled with apology.

After Liang Xinran hung up, she felt that she was unfilial. She had always been protected by her parents, and now they still had to worry about her.

Although it was her birthday, she had no intention of celebrating it.

She just wanted it to be over.

When she heard the knock on the door, she slowly sat up and walked towards the door. “Who is it?”

“Miss Liang, is it? There’s takeout for you.”

Liang Xinran looked out of the peephole and realized that it was really a delivery man, so she opened the door.

“This is your birthday cake. Please sign for it.”

After Liang Xinran signed it, she took a look and did not know who had ordered it.

Just as the delivery man left, she received a call.

Seeing that it was Gu Jingyuan, she picked it up immediately.

“Happy birthday.” The man’s deep voice was very magnetic and had the power to comfort people.

Liang Xinran smiled. “Thank you.”

“You said too many thank yous today.”

“I don’t know how to express my emotions without saying thank you. I’m really grateful that the heavens let you be in this world and let you be by my side.”

She was sincerely grateful for all of this.

“Then I’ll give myself to you, how about that?” The man’s voice entered her ear with a slight electric current.

Liang Xinran’s heart turned numb, and all her worries were forgotten.

Her voice was soft. “If you can appear by my side in half an hour, I’ll accept this gift.”

She had calculated that it would not take more than half an hour to drive from either his laboratory or his residence to here.

Even if they had just seen each other, if he appeared again, she would feel that life was worth it.

Even if the world was chaotic and all injustice and dirt fell on her, with him around, life was worth it.

Just as she finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.

Through the peephole, when the man’s handsome face was magnified in front of her, Liang Xinran threw away her phone and immediately opened the door, throwing herself into his arms.

She hugged him fiercely. “You lied to me. You were right here and you lied to me.”

“Happy birthday should be said in person.” Gu Jingyuan hugged her.

Liang Xinran buried her head in his chest. At this moment, she was really satisfied.

“The heavens are too kind to me.” Her voice was choked. “Jingyuan, the heavens are really good to me, letting me have you like this.”

Her feelings were still intense and hot. Even if she was hurt by this world, she still had passion and love.

Gu Jingyuan hugged her as if he was hugging a small sun, completely illuminating his mood.

He lowered his head to kiss her faint tears.

Liang Xinran rubbed his cheek and kissed his face and ear back.

His body suddenly trembled. When his lips and hers touched, sparks ignited in an instant.

The door had been closed at some point. When Liang Xinran was pressed onto her bed, she did not regret or hesitate at all.

She only knew that her love had been passionately reciprocated. The most beautiful thing in the world was nothing more than this.

When she completely absorbed him, the pain made her grit her teeth and tremble.

Gu Jingyuan was stunned for a moment.

He had originally thought that she was originally in the entertainment industry and had such an outgoing personality. It would not be strange that she had past boyfriends.

What he had not expected made him feel guilty about what he had once thought of her. At the same time, he felt even more heartache.

It turned out that her passion and love had never been given to others. She had always only given it to him.

Liang Xinran did not care about his thoughts at all. At this moment, she was trying her best to bear with more pain.

However, because it was him, because it was Gu Jingyuan, everything became a product of their love.

When everything ended, Gu Jingyuan kissed her hair gently and said in a low voice, “Sleep if you’re tired.”

Liang Xinran was indeed very tired and only wanted to fall asleep.

However, she still tried her best to open her eyes and looked at him shyly. “I want to celebrate the first birthday spent with you. I want to remember every moment.”

“Alright.” Gu Jingyuan took the cake and sang softly, “Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!”

Liang Xinran sang along with him. She leaned on his shoulder and felt his aura. She was incomparably happy.

Even after she fell asleep, she was still smiling.

It was as if what had happened in the past two days had not hurt her at all.

Gu Jingyuan did not sleep. He turned on his phone and opened the file sent ot him.

This was Yuan Zhihui’s medical record. Genetic heart disease.

Director Yuan had passed away because of this illness.

If Yuan Zhihui did not receive very good treatment, his lifespan would probably not be long.

He opened Kuang Bo’s information again and scanned it.

All the trending topics were bought by Kuang Bo, so the person smearing Liang Xinran’s name was Kuang Bo.

Three years ago, Kuang Bo and Liang Xinran had been in the same production team and knew each other.
