CHAPTER 816
Jia Huang played a beautiful, melodic tune that seemed to encapsulate the emotions of the moment.
Tears of happiness streamed down Yin Lifen's cheeks as she watched Jia Huang's nimble fingers dance across the piano keys. The music filled the hall, wrapping around her like a warm embrace. It was a song that spoke of friendship, love, and the beauty of unexpected surprises.
He most especially had not forgotten her. She couldn't describe the joy that alone brought to her. She wiped away her tears with a smile, her heart brimming with gratitude for the wonderful people in her life who had orchestrated this incredible celebration. Yin Lifen couldn't have wished for a more perfect birthday.
As Jia Huang's piano performance reached its crescendo, Yin Lifen felt like her heart might burst with joy. The melody seemed to capture the essence of the love and appreciation she felt for everyone who had come together to create this extraordinary birthday surprise.
When the last note faded into the air, Jia Huang rose from the piano bench to a round of applause and cheers from the gathered crowd. "Happy birthday!" The familiar cheers of their wish echoed in the hall as everyone watched her, following her line of sight to her fiancé. Aiden grinned at Yin Lifen, his eyes twinkling with warmth and affection. His musical contribution had added a layer of magic to the already enchanting evening.
"Happy birthday, darling," he muttered before strolling over to where she stood. "Thank you. Thank you everyone for this wonderful surprise," Yin Lifen appreciated. The moment Aiden arrived at her side, he held her hand gently, pulling her towards him and wrapping a hand around her waist. "Is this the business trip you were in?" she asked, arching her brow at him.
"It killed me not calling you since morning to wish you a happy birthday. Or even not being around you today. I'm sorry love," he said and pecked her hand.
"I must say, it was lonely and painful. You do know how to make a lady's heart ache and at the same time steal her breath away after melting her heart," Yin Lifen complimented. "I'll take that as a compliment."
"As you should." She giggled. Right before everyone's eyes, the two of them drew together, their faces inching closer as their lips connected in a slow heartfelt kiss. Amid the clapping and celebration, Yin Lifen's friends and family began to approach her, bearing gifts and well-wishes. After giving her time to receive her gifts and wishes, Li Jing embraced her tightly from behind, shocking Yin Lifen who had least expected it. At the side, Ye Cheng and Tang Zixin stood waiting for their turn while watching the close friends celebrate with each other. "Happy birthday, FenFen!"
"Li Jing!" Yin Lifen turned around and engulfed her friend in her warm embrace. Once they broke from the hug, she smiled at Li Jing. "Thanks, baby girl."
"No such thing, baby. Did you really think we'd let this day go by without a bang?" she teased.
Yin Lifen laughed, feeling a deep sense of happiness wash over her. "I can't believe you all pulled this off! You got me good."
Not one to miss a nice joke, Ye Cheng chimed in, "We did have you going there for a while, didn't we? But it was all worth it to see your reaction now."
"Exactly," she said, turning to face him, "I was scared out fo my wits as to what may be going on with you and hurried here."
"But you looked dressed," Tang Zixin pointed out. "Where you expecting a celebration?"
"Zixin." She smiled at him before shaking her head. "Not in the slightest. I was damn tired and angry that all of you forgot, getting yourself busy and decided to take myself out with or without you guys."
"That's the spirit," Tang Zixin concurred. "Never let anyone ruin your day. Happy birthday." He presented his gift to her with a deep smile on his face. "Thanks, Zixin but I bet you, no outing I would have done would have bested what you all did for me."
"True. You had the best planner here, Li Jing, myself and Aunt Lin Xuilan."
"What? Aunt joined?" Yin Lifen asked, turning to face Li Jing.
"She did."
"Where is she?" "She said she'll be late. Just know this, Fen-Fen, never forget that you are loved," Li Jing accentuated. Yin Lifen nodded in agreement. What other proof than this did she need? Suddenly a thought crossed her mind, her eyes widening as they settled on Li Jing. "Wait a minute. What about the new project bidding proposal, the meeting we were…" her smile dropped, how could she had been foolish to still ask? It was obvious what the answer was. "Even that was all made up. And here I was cussing the planners and being worried I wasn't there," Yin Lifen concluded. A deep sigh escaped her lips as she slouched.
"Hey, who do you think your baby, Li Jing is? While I appreciate your concern, I can handle any business deal irrespective of the pressure. Do not forget dearie."
"I never doubted that. I just did not want anyone thinking they can make things difficult for my best friend and go scot free."
The two ladies gently hugged each other, each one understanding their closeness and love and the length they'd each go for the other person. The room buzzed with laughter and conversation as they shared stories, reminisced about shared experiences, and expressed their heartfelt congratulations.
Throughout the evening, Yin Lifen was showered with gifts, cards, and well-wishes. She felt overwhelmed by the love and support that surrounded her. Her family members, including her parents and siblings, had flown in to be with her on this special day. It was like a reunion that added an extra layer of significance to the celebration.
As the night wore on, the event center came alive with music and dancing. Yin Lifen found herself twirling around the dance floor with her friends and family, her heart light and her spirits high. The joyful atmosphere was infectious, and the hours slipped away in a blur of laughter and celebration.
At one point, Jia Huang approached her and asked for a dance, stealing her from Li Jing and her family.
They swayed together to a slow, romantic tune, their eyes locked in a shared moment of love as their lips helped show it out.
As the evening drew to a close, Yin Lifen couldn't help but reflect on the events of the day. What had started as a confusing and frustrating series of surprises had turned into one of the most memorable birthdays of her life.
What more could a girl ask for?
She knew that she was truly blessed to have such incredible people in her life.
With a heart full of gratitude, she made a silent wish as she blew out the candles on her birthday cake—a wish for more moments like this, filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.
As the clock struck midnight, marking the beginning of a new day and a new year in her life, Yin Lifen couldn't help but feel a sense of hope and excitement for the future. Although they had lingering threats surrounding Li Jing, she was hopeful her friend would be okay.
