Chapter 161: Chapter 181: You Have the Attitude of a Master _1"Today is your birthday, I should show some gesture." Gu Yuexi held her wine glass and smiled lightly, "Don’t blame yourself. I deliberately didn’t tell you. As long as I have you, that’s enough!" Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Although you say that, I’m touched, but I still think there should be something to commemorate this moment, after all, this is your first birthday after we met..." Gu Yuexi was about to speak, but saw Lin Chen raise his hand and gesture to the waiter nearby. Gu Yuexi’s beautiful eyes widened, wondering what he was preparing to do. Under Gu Yuexi’s incredulous gaze, the waiter pushed a cart from the bar, on which there was a small but exquisite cake with lit candles on it, next to a bunch of bright red roses, and a box on top of the roses. Gu Yuexi’s eyes were full of undisguised surprise, "When did you prepare this?" Lin Chen said with a laugh: "When I heard it was your birthday, I picked out a birthday gift and had a colleague who happened to be out running an errand bring it to me. It’s just a token of appreciation and a memory for the future." Gu Yuexi was very surprised; she had deliberately not told Lin Chen before, not wanting to make him feel embarrassed since their relationship seemed to be almost lovers but not quite. But she hadn’t expected Lin Chen to find a way to prepare a present for her in such a hurry. "While you were in the car?" Lin Chen nodded, "Yes... Happy birthday, Yue Yue! Make a wish and blow out the candles!" "Okay!" Gu Yuexi’s heart was filled with joy, not because of the gift Lin Chen gave her, but because of his thoughtfulness. He cares about me! He likes me too!

Lin Chen handed the box to Gu Yuexi, "Take a look. Do you like it?" Gu Yuexi bit her lip and gently opened the box, revealing a dazzling diamond necklace inside. Gu Yuexi recognized at once that it was a new design by Van Cleef & Arpels that had come out this year, priced at 880,000. "Ah, Brother, this gift is too expensive!" Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’ve noticed you like wearing off-the-shoulder or single-strap dresses. Your collarbone is beautiful and your skin is fair. A diamond necklace like this should look great on you... Do you like it?" "I love it! I really love it!" Gu Yuexi’s eyes were full of joy, "Brother, can you help me put it on?" "Sure!" Lin Chen stood up, walked behind Gu Yuexi, and put the diamond necklace around her neck. Under the lamplight, the diamonds sparkled, her skin was fair, and her cheeks were rosy; she was stunning. "Thank you, Brother! This is the first gift you have given me, and it is very meaningful. I will cherish it for a lifetime." Lin Chen smiled, "I’m glad you like it." In the happy and sweet atmosphere, the two finished their birthday dinner. Arriving downstairs, Lin Chen looked at Gu Yuexi in her formal dress and said with a smile, "Wait for me, I’ll go get the car." "Okay!" Lin Chen drove the car from the parking lot to the hotel entrance, but his eyes darkened. Beside Gu Yuexi appeared a silver-haired old man, staring at Lin Chen with an enigmatic smile. Gu Yuexi didn’t notice and was about to get in the car when the silver-haired old man suddenly reached out, grabbed Gu Yuexi’s arm, and smiled, "Miss Gu, Mr. Lin, my young master has extended an invitation." Gu Yuexi was startled and looked back, "Who are you?" Just as Lin Chen was about to get out of the car, the silver-haired old man smiled, "Mr. Lin, don’t move. If you do, I’ll slap her. Can you guess what the outcome will be?" Lin Chen stopped his action to open the door and asked in a calm tone, "Chu Tianyu?" The silver-haired old man smiled, "Yes." Lin Chen nodded straightforwardly, "Alright, what’s the plan?" The silver-haired old man opened the rear car door and had Gu Yuexi sit in the back, smiling, "Please excuse me, Mr. Lin, for asking you to be a driver this time. Shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Lin Chen smiled, "No problem. Tell me, where are we going?" The silver-haired man gave an address, and Lin Chen followed the navigation, then started the car and smoothly entered the traffic flow. Lin Chen drove steadily, asking at the same time, "I’ve never seen you before. Are you one of Chu Family’s people?" The silver-haired old man smiled and answered, "My surname is Chen, with a single name: Huai. I’ve been with the Chu family for over forty years. Now, I’m a driver for the young master, protecting his safety." Lin Chen nodded in understanding, "A housekeeper, and a master, right?" Chen Huai smiled, "You could say that." Lin Chen asked casually, "Chu Tianyu didn’t choose a very friendly way to invite us today. Is he planning to settle accounts with me?" Chen Huai’s smile was calm and serene, as if etched onto his face, "You insulted the young master and offended the Chu family; naturally, some things need to be straightened out." Lin Chen, feigning curiosity, continued to ask, "So how does Chu Tianyu plan to deal with me? Will he ruin my cultivation or simply kill me and make me vanish from the human world?" Chen Huai replied, "I don’t know, but the destination is not far away, and you’ll find out the answer soon enough. Be patient." "Be patient?" Lin Chen glanced at the rearview mirror, "Your demeanor is very much that of a master. Be sure to maintain it later!"
