Chapter 492 - Wish
Hinari and Zaki didn"t waste a second to spend the rest of the day together, doing the little simple and silly things every sweet and daring couple would do.
Sometime later, Hinari insisted on baking a cake for Zaki but due to Hinari"s lack of talent in cooking, Zaki could only burst out in a chuckle, causing the proud seductress to crouch in the corner, pouting in disappointment to herself.
Seeing her in that state, Zaki patted her head before he suddenly scooped her up, brought her back to the table and smiled at her. He then told her to bake again and with his help, the two ended up doing the task happily together.
With Zaki"s a.s.sistance, Hinari finally succeeded.
Hinari was so happy she even kissed the cake like it was one of the greatest trophies she had received and Zaki was also br.i.m.m.i.n.g in happiness as he watched her.
"Careful, don"t treat it like it"s a trophy, or you"ll ruin it." Zaki warned with a mischievous smile when Hinari suddenly stretched out her hands, which held the cake, towards him like an offering.
"Beauty, I shall now offer this great trophy to you. Please receive it." she said and Zaki immediately accepted it. She then lit the candles and sang him the happy birthday song. Once that ended, she spoke.
"You have to make a wish before you blow out the candles. Make sure you wish for us to be together forever and ever…" She said, with a mischievous smile with her eyes twinkling like the brightest stars.
Zaki closes his eyes and thought to himself, "I wish to be able to make Hinari smile like that for the rest of my days... i wish... to stay beside her forever." before he blew his birthday candles out.
…
In the afternoon, Sei sent Zaki a message telling him that they would be celebrating his birthday that night. He told Zaki that they had invited family members and acquaintances so he asked them to dress up. Zaki was surprised but he didn"t ask nor complain anymore.
When dusk came, the two were already prepared. Hinari was wearing an elegant navy blue dress while Zaki was in a gorgeous tailored suit.
A car prepared by Sei"s men fetched them and they finally headed to the Chen family"s villa.
Meanwhile, the guests have already started arriving at the elegant, luxurious villa. The place was magnificent as it was located in the most scenic hill in the city. One could even say it was the ideal modern palace, oozing with nothing but beauty and extravagance.
Somehow, looking at all this magnificence, the people present in this place could even tell that this was one, if not the most, lavish birthday parties in the entire country for many years.
The Chen family never celebrated Zaki"s birthday like this before, not only because Zaki didn"t like it but because Zaki remained hidden under Sei"s shadow all this time. Even when he had the t.i.tle of the second son of the Chens and the younger brother of the multi-billionaire tyc.o.o.n, his existence actually remained a mysterious topic among the media and gossipers. It was because all this time, he never once appeared or been introduced in the public eye which left people wondering why this second son seemed to be hiding or maybe someone seemed to be purposely keeping him in the dark.
This was why everyone was so hyped up and at the same curious about this event. They were wondering what the real purpose behind this surprising publicity was since everyone knew what the Chen Family was like when it came to celebrations. They were not the type who stirred every headline with their every event. In fact, they were the most private family in the upper society despite them being the most powerful. So it was kind of strange that for the first time, this ever-so-private family let the media in to cover this amazingly surprising event.
In that moment, the party was about to begin. Old man Chen as well as Mr. and Mrs. Chen were busy mingling with the high profile guests who came. Many among these guests were CEOs and even the country"s President was among them. No guest was ordinary and some were actually even powerful personalities internationally.
It almost looked like this event was actually not just a birthday party but a public display of the Chen"s, no, more like Chen Seiji"s real magnificence and influence.
When the man responsible for all this finally appeared, all eyes fell on him. Sei was the one who invited all these mighty personalities and they were all gathered here like n.o.body dared to reject him.
After Sei welcomed everyone, a dazzling, captivating couple arrived and the spotlight pointed on them, s.n.a.t.c.hing all gazes and camera lenses towards them.
