Chapter 326 Baby, Happy Birthday

When Phillip came out, there were a lot of oil stains on his pure white shirt.

Strictly speaking, this meal was bad.

There were two slightly burnt steaks, a vegetable salad, and pasta. There was an egg lying on top of it. The egg was golden and shiny. It was surprisingly good.

Phillip sat across from Ann, staring at her expression. His cold and handsome face seemed to be a little nervous, and he was waiting for her reaction.

Ann felt the tears in her eyes. She wanted to cry and laugh.

She picked up a fork and tasted the pasta.

It was a little salty, but the egg was crispy outside and tender inside. It was unknown how many times he had failed before it was cooked.

Knowing that she did not have a big appetite, Phillip did not make much pasta.

Under Phillip's gaze, Ann finished eating the meal. She even drank the soup and raised her head to look at him.

"It's delicious."

Phillip heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but then he felt his heart soften.

He knew that what he made could be eaten, but it was far from delicious.

"In the future, I will make it for you every year."

Ann smiled and nodded, but her gaze fell on the hand that he intentionally placed under the table.

She pushed the steak in front of her forward and said in a soft voice.

"Phillip, help me cut the steak."

Ann's voice was gentle and soft, and when she acted cute, it was even sweeter.

Phillip did not think too much about it. He picked up the knife and fork and was about to cut it. He did not cook much. His hands were slender and beautiful. The red spots that were splashed by the oil were especially obvious.

She had expected it when she saw the oil stains on his shirt earlier.

Feeling both upset and moved, she suddenly got up, took out a soft cream from her bag, and sat next to Phillip.

"Give me your hand."

"It's fine." For a man, this injury was nothing.

Ann insisted.

Phillip was helpless.

Ann helped Phillip apply the ointment bit by bit, took the knife and fork from Phillip's hand, cut the two steaks, ate one piece, and fed him a piece.

In addition to being a little burnt, it was actually still good.

Phillip was always picky about food. He frowned and subconsciously wanted to vomit.

Seeing that Ann was eating with relish, he hurriedly reached out to stop her and moved the bowl of vegetable salad that would not go wrong in front of her.

"Eat this!"

Ann stopped him from moving the plate away and looked up at him seriously.

"Phillip, it's delicious. I will finish it all. Really!"

Phillip saw that she was insistent and felt a little helpless. He could only remove the burnt parts bit by bit before he dared to let her eat.

The two stayed very late in the old house. Ann leaned on Phillip's shoulder and was about to fall asleep, but she was shaken awake by Phillip.

She looked at the sky outside the window with misty eyes. "What? It's so late. Are we going back?"

"There's no rush. I'll take you somewhere."

At this time, the entire city was brightly lit.

Phillip took Ann to the top floor of the tallest building in River City. After the elevator, they had to go upstairs to reach it.

The door on the top floor was already rusty. Phillip pushed it open. It was pitch black in front of him. Then, Phillip touched something. It suddenly lit up.

The stars in the sky formed a silver river, so beautiful that it made people feel like they were real.

Ann was a little stunned. Everything had developed, and in the prosperous River City, it had been many years since she had seen a large number of stars.

The candlelight on the ground flickered, and the scarlet golden flames swayed like a burning heart.

It was not so creative, but it was enough to move Ann and make her cry.

"These... How long have you prepared?"

Ann's slender fingers hooked around his, her big eyes full of tears. Under such a hazy light, her eyes were watery and extremely beautiful.

Phillip's thin lips curved into a smile as he slowly pressed her hand into his palm. How long was it?

More than a month before her birthday, he began to ask his subordinates to begin birthday planning. They had planned tens of millions of projects. When they received this task, they were stunned for a long time.

They submitted dozens of proposals from traveling abroad, inviting famous stars, to a huge birthday party...

It was not easy to come up with a plan, and it was almost ready, but when he passed by a university, he unexpectedly saw a student couple.

They were young, simple, beautiful, and sweet.

He suddenly realized that he had never pursued her properly.

Recalling how the young man he saw confessed to his beloved girl, the cold and noble man knelt on one knee, held her hand, and kissed her gently.

"Ann, I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?"

His eyes were vaster than the starry sky.

Ann was caught off guard by his actions and almost wanted to pull him up.

"What are you doing... Get up..."

What was this man doing?

"You haven't answered my question yet. Can you want to be my girlfriend?" Phillip looked at her and smiled.

Ann blinked and seemed to understand something in a trance. Her big eyes were filled with tears. Her lips were curved, and behind her was the sky full of stars.

"Hello, boyfriend."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled as if they were really filling in the days when they separated for five years.

There was a bang!

Suddenly, there was the sound of fireworks. Ann was shocked and subconsciously turned to look at Phillip.

Phillip held her hand and walked out of the building.

People were no longer allowed to set off fireworks in the city, but on the walls of the surrounding buildings, the fireworks were playing at this time, forming a sentence.

"Baby, happy birthday."

The man beside her said in a deep and noble voice. He stood at the highest point of River City and the city seemed to be celebrating her birthday.

Ann tried her best to hold back her tears, but she could not help but cry.

For a moment, she did not know what to say. She could only scratch her nose and reach out to poke his chest. "Don't you remember what day it is today?"

Phillip put her into his embrace and kissed her smooth forehead, her eyes that were wet from the tears, her cute nose, and her pink lips. He smiled.

"How could I not remember the day when the angel was born?"

On this day, it seemed like the entire city was celebrating her birthday.

...

A mall in River City.

Abbey stopped in his tracks and looked at the huge screen of the building opposite him. His eyes were clear and he seemed to have thought of something. He pursed his lips.

He turned around to look at the man in black who had been following him and chuckled.

"Go back and tell your boss that I will look for her tomorrow. There is no need to follow me like this!"
