After returning to her room, Qiao Anhao cut the cake and placed a large slice onto a plate . Just when she was about to leave the room, her phone suddenly rang . . .

It was from the front counter .  "Is Miss Qiao Anhao there?" 

She held the cake in one hand and the phone in another . Bending down, she answered, "Yes . " 

" h.e.l.lo Miss Qiao, the front staff has two deliveries for you . Do you need me to send them up now?" 

One was from Qiao Anxia . She had initially wanted to deliver the present personally but was sent overseas on a last minute business trip, hence she could only send it through postage . As for the other gift . . . Qiao Anhao frowned slightly, curious as to who had sent it, but she was in a rush to go upstairs to find Lu Jinnian, so she didn't think much of it and said in a warm tone, "Yes please, I'm sorry to have to trouble you . " 

After she hung up, Qiao Anhao informed Zhao Meng, who was devouring the cake, to collect the delivery for her before rus.h.i.+ng out the door . After closing it behind her, she hesitated slightly before returning back to the room . She placed the cake down and tidied her hair . After examining herself for a long while, she reached for her blusher and dabbed a little on her cheeks . Pressing her lips together, she was satisfied with herself . She reached for the cake once more and left her room .  

Qiao Anhao came to the entrance of Lu Jinnian's room on the top floor . At the door, she didn't forget to take out her phone to look at her reflection, making sure that she looked perfect before pressing the doorbell .  

Lu Jinnian's a.s.sistant was the one that opened the door . When he saw her, he stood aside immediately . "Miss Qiao, come in . " 

Qiao Anhao walked in with the cake in her hands . She scanned the surroundings, and when she didn't see Lu Jinnian in the living room, she asked, "Where's Lu Jinnian?" 

"Mr .  Lu is in the bedroom . " His a.s.sistant pointed to the bedroom before walking to knock on the door . After waiting for a while, Lu Jinnian's faint voice came from inside, "Enter . " The a.s.sistant pushed the door open .  

Lu Jinnian sat in front of the study table . He continued to stare at the computer screen without bothering to look up, as though he had nothing to do with the person that just entered .  

His a.s.sistant was already used to Lu Jinnian's nonchalance, so he added, "Mr .  Lu, Miss Qiao is here . " 

The moment Lu Jinnian heard that Qiao Anhao was here, he diverted his gaze from the computer screen to look at her, who had just entered the room .  

A wide smile spread across her face instantly . It was sunset, and through the window, warm yellow rays were spilling into the room onto Qiao Anhao's face, making her smile seem almost celestial .

Lu Jinnian stared in a daze for a while before raising from his chair, asking in a gentle voice, "Why are you here?" 

Qiao Anhao smiled at him, lifting the large cake in her hands .  "I came to send you a a slice of cake . " 

Lu Jinnian pushed the messy doc.u.ments aside, emptying a s.p.a.ce for the plate .  

The a.s.sistant had specially ordered Qiao Anhao's birthday cake, so he knew that it was her birthday . He instantly gave her his blessing, "Miss Qiao, Happy Birthday . "

After returning to her room, Qiao Anhao cut the cake and placed a large slice onto a plate . Just when she was about to leave the room, her phone suddenly rang . .
