"Happy Birthday Sweet. "Xin Yong was woken up by a text from Jin Yue, she was just realizing that that day was her birthday.
She gently rubbed her eyes and turned to look at the wall clock, it was just half past six in the morning.
It took her ten minutes to stretch her limbs and after a while, she lazily stood up from the bed to wash her mouth.
...
It was ten I"m the morning yet Xin Yong hadn"t received a call from Jin Yue. Though she wouldn"t pick it, it still gave her that tingling sensation that he still cared.
12 o"clock...
1 o"clock...
4 o"clock...
Xin Yong lay sulking on her bed. This was the worst birthday ever!!
After the birthday wishes she got from her parents, no one else called, even Liling!!
She sulked as she ate from the bucket of popcorn, eating every piece with great bitterness.
Xin Yong bolted from the bed and reached for her phone when she heard it ring, her excitement drained when she saw it was Liling on the line.
"Happy birthday baby!!! Come, come open the gates, you have a birthday party to attend. "
Xin Yong sprang up from the bed, flipping her bucket of popcorn over.
She raced down stairs to the gates and opened it, only to see a train of people outside her home.
As she stepped out, they all bowed gently.
"Milady, this way please... "
A male dressed in a uniform pointed towards the cars lined up in front of her home.
"Liling, what"s going on? why... "
"Hurry, you don"t want to be late!"
Liling who had been smiling sheepishly quickly waved at her, directing her to the train of cars.
"Liling, I"m still on my PJs, and I haven"t even locked my gate... "
"Don"t worry about a thing, I"ll handle everything, just go in, trust me!"
Xin Yong didn"t need anyone telling her that it was Jin Yue"s doing, as she entered one of the latest make Mercedes Benz parked in front of her, a tingling feeling erupted in her heart.
She was extremely happy that Jin Yue didn"t forget her birthday and he even surprised her!
Blus.h.i.+ng slightly, she decided to end the quarrel after that night.
...
It was a forty five minutes drive. As soon as they arrived at the venue, a well built man came over and opened up the door for her.
"Milady, this way please... "
The man said as he led the way into the grand hotel in front of them.
"Where are we? "
Xin Yong asked as she noticed Liling walking up to her.
"Your boyfriend"s hotel, isn"t it amazing! "
"Why didn"t you tell me? "
"Why is it a surprise? Haha"
"How did you know?"
Xin Yong turned to look at her, she was sure Jin Yue didn"t have her number, so...
"Teeny weeny secret... haha, hurry let"s go in, you need to get dressed! "
Liling held Xin Yong by the arm and quickly followed after the man who was waiting for them in front of the hotel.
The man led them to a presidential suite where not less than 6 women dressed as hotel attendants were waiting for them.
Xin Yong could see different boxes and bags in the room. As soon as they entered, the man left after closing the door behind him.
Immediately, two women took her and led her to the bathroom. Xin Yong turned to look at Liling extremely confused.
Liling just smiled, waving at her happily.
Xin Yong was made to bath, after which she was given a thorough body treatment.
As soon as she stepped out, Liling screamed.
"Oh my! BFF, you are about to steal my crown! You are not yet on makeup yet you are this beautiful. So I won"t get any spouse today! Hoho!"
Liling pretended to be wronged, as the women all burst out laughing.
"Liling, we all know, you"re stunning. You can get a treatment if you... "
"No, no, today is your day, let"s make it special! "
Liling replied smiling happily. Xin Yong was led to the dressing table were her hair was done, followed by her makeup.
Xin Yong lost count of how many things were used on her, but when she was allowed to look at the mirror, she couldn"t believe that she looked almost natural.
The only difference was that, there were no more lines and she looked way more prettier.
"Now, that"s what we"re talking about!. Xin Yong, You look pretty!! Hehe, I"m waiting to see Jin Yue"s face when he sees you! "
"Liling!, stop joking around, I... "
"The dress!, it"s time for the dress!. Oh my, Xin Yong, you need to see this dress, it"s magnificent! "
Liling interrupted immediately as she opened up the boxes one after the other, searching for the dress.
"Where is this runaway dress... "
