Lin Yi hummed a tune as he walked towards his room. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening and everything around him was quiet. It was an old building and the voice-controlled lights didn't work very well. Even though Lin Yi coughed heavily several times, the lights didn't turn on.
Thinking of the many luxury cars that suddenly appeared outside, Lin Yi became suspicious and his steps became much lighter. He strode to his door but did not open it immediately.
I put my ear against the wall and listened. It was very quiet inside.
Lin Yi gently opened the door and pushed open the room little by little. He couldn't help but guess all kinds of possibilities in his mind. His nerves were tense and the muscles in his back were tense to the extreme.
So that he can respond to what is about to happen as quickly as possible.
The moment the door opens.
“Crack!”
A voice sounded, and the room suddenly became bright. The dazzling light made him subconsciously reach out to block it. At the same time, he took a deep breath, and his physical condition immediately adjusted to the peak.
However, the next second, countless ribbons flew over his head, and balloons could be seen everywhere in the house. In the middle of the living room was a person-high cake with some truffles, chocolates and other things on it.
A dignified and beautiful woman, wearing a black deep V-neck sweater and a light brown pleated skirt. Her straight and slender long legs were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings. If you didn't know, you would think they were white and tender long legs.
The child the woman was holding was Guoguo. The little girl had changed into a princess bubble skirt and looked extremely adorable. When she saw Lin Yi, she ran over happily, hugged his thighs and smiled widely.
"Daddy, happy birthday!"
"Birthday?" Lin Yi scratched his scalp and then came to his senses. Today was actually his birthday.
He never celebrates birthdays, because celebrating one means he is one year older, which makes no sense to celebrate getting older.
Only then did he realize that his birthday was right next to Guoguo's birthday. It seemed like they were really destined to be together.
"Happy birthday, thank you." Chen Qiangwei waved her hand, and the twenty or so men in black standing behind her silently left the room.
Seeing these people, Lin Yi frowned, because except for Chen Qiangwei, no one else knew that he lived here. If someone knew his residence and came to seek revenge, it would be very troublesome.
Chen Qiangwei seemed to have read the secret on his face and spoke first: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, they are the people I trust the most. I will send them here to protect Guoguo. After all, you won't be staying at home all the time."
"Some of these people have been with me for seven years at least. You can trust them completely."
Chen Qiangwei was worried that Lin Yi still didn't believe it, so she added a few more sentences.
Lin Yi nodded and smiled, not saying anything more. He felt that this was fine. He couldn't stay by Guoguo's side 24 hours a day. It would be much safer with Chen Qiangwei's protection.
They had almost finished talking and started celebrating birthdays. Lin Yi suggested celebrating Guoguo's birthday together with his own.
"Okay, okay." Guoguo was the first to agree.
Of course Chen Qiangwei didn't mind and nodded in agreement.
So the whole family ate the meal happily.
"Mom, please don't leave. Can you stay with Dad? He's so pitiful. He's always alone..." Guoguo blinked her big watery eyes and pleaded.
Chen Qiangwei was speechless for a moment, because Lin Yi was not Guoguo's real father, but she also didn't have the heart to tell Guoguo the truth, it was too cruel.
