Chapter 462: Chapter 462: This battle formation is too grand

...Eighteen, happy birthday?

Lu Sheng rarely found herself so directly startled.

Then she remembered that a year ago, on August 27th last year, it was indeed the original owner’s birthday, but also the original owner’s death day.

Because a year ago, the original owner had left the countryside and arrived in Jiang City on her birthday, only to be strangled in an alley by someone hired by Lu Qianrou, and never got to see the gates of the Lu Family home.

As for herself, she didn’t know which day should be her actual birth day.

If she had to count, the day she was reborn as a human should indeed be her birthday.

Yet all this time, she had never celebrated her birthday.

Having someone tell her happy birthday like this was also a first.

"How... did you know today is my birthday? I even forgot," the grand, dazzling fireworks outside continued to burst in the sky. Lu Sheng took a deep breath and turned to look at Li Muchen.

"I remember everything about you," Li Muchen kissed Lu Sheng’s forehead, his voice deep, "moreover, it’s the anniversary of our first meeting. How could I not remember?"

The anniversary of their first meeting.

Yes, in the blink of an eye, a year had already passed.

A year ago today, she had walked out from the alley all dirty and kissed Li Muchen, who was sitting in the car, for five minutes, leaving him a $1 deposit.

At that time, she didn’t expect that a year later, she would feel such deep love from this man. It was as if their meeting was destined.

The fireworks outside had ended, leaving a peaceful silence. Li Muchen asked Lu Sheng, "Baby, do you like this firework show?"

"I like it," Lu Sheng nodded and hugged Li Muchen, a gentle expression on her face, "Thank you for this birthday gift, I really like it."

However, Li Muchen said, "No, the birthday gift I prepared is not this."

"Then what is it?" Lu Sheng tilted her head and asked.

"You’ll know when you wake up," Li Muchen, clad in a bathrobe, ruffled Lu Sheng’s hair, then carried her back to bed, "Sleep, baby."

Lu Sheng had no idea what surprise Li Muchen had prepared but saw no need to guess.

She would find out when she woke up anyway.

And so she fell into a deep slumber in the man’s embrace.

When she opened her eyes in the morning, she found that Li Muchen was no longer in bed.

Lu Sheng was awake, but instead of going out to look for him, she went straight to the bathroom to freshen up.

Just as she finished washing up, several maids consecutively entered from outside, each pushing a small cart.

"Good morning, ma’am—"

The maids greeted in unison.

Wasn’t this a bit too much fanfare?

Lu Sheng focused her gaze; the first maid pushed a seven-tiered makeup cart decked with primers, foundations, eyeshadows, and all sorts of other cosmetics.

The second maid pushed a portable display case, filled with meticulously arranged jewelry. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, bangles, rings... the materials ranging from diamonds, gems, gold, to jade, dazzling to behold.

The third maid’s cart was full of bags, all high-end luxury brands with individual prices of no less than $30,000, about a dozen in total.

The fourth maid’s cart was filled with high heels. Lu Sheng hadn’t worn high heels for the entire past year, mostly sticking to canvas shoes and sneakers. But she had to admit, some high heels were truly beautiful.

The last maid’s cart had only a large white gift box on it. The five maids formed a row in front of Lu Sheng, looking respectfully solemn.

Was this the surprise Li Muchen had prepared?

Lu Sheng glanced over everything, her eyes dazzled by the sight.

Any of these bags or pieces of jewelry costing tens of thousands could be a standalone gift, but Li Muchen was giving them in heaps.

Seeing this, the first maid picked up the gift box and walked over, standing before Lu Sheng, "Ma’am, happy birthday to you."

"This is a dress that sir personally selected for you. He hopes you can wear it today. All other accessories, shoes, and bags were also chosen by sir. He said to wear whatever you like most, ma’am."

"Sir has prepared a surprise for you, ma’am. Once we’ve dressed you up, you can go out."

Lu Sheng nodded, standing up to open the exquisite large gift box in the maid’s hands.

Inside was a vintage rose-red party dress.

The dress’s upper body was a strapless design, with a knee-length skirt made of woven fabric and tulle, giving off an enveloping, dreamlike beauty.

The tulle had just the right amount of puffiness, and some parts of the skirt were adorned with countless subtle rose embroideries, clearly handcrafted, looking intricately beautiful and hard to look away from.

Indeed, Li Muchen knew her taste well; she truly liked this dress design.

Seeing Lu Sheng pick up the dress, the maids turned around, waiting for her to finish putting it on.

When Lu Sheng called them, they waited for her to choose jewelry and shoes, finally having her sit at the dressing table while the first maid pushed the makeup cart over.

The maid did Lu Sheng’s makeup while marveling at her naturally good skin and facial features.

There was no need to focus on covering any flaws; just a light base, curled eyelashes, and some lip gloss made her look beautiful.

When the makeup was done, Lu Sheng stood before the full-length mirror, looking at herself in the reflection.

Her hair was styled in a half-up princess style, with thick, seaweed-like curls cascading down her shoulders, and the strapless dress accentuated her rounded shoulders and delicate collarbone.

The ruby necklace around her neck was small yet luxurious, and the vintage rose-red tulle dress made her skin look as white as snow, making her look like a noble lady from medieval Europe.

"Ma’am, you’re truly beautiful," the maids all exclaimed.

"Thank you," Lu Sheng said, lifting her gaze to look at the group of them, "You’ve worked hard too. Tell the butler to increase each of your monthly salaries by $2,000."

An increase of $2,000!

It was just their first day of work, and all they did was help the lady put on clothes and makeup, yet each got a raise of $2,000.

Some of them originally thought Lu Sheng, being young, wouldn’t be adept at handling things.

Yet here she was, giving them a raise on the first day, making the maids all the more motivated.

Lu Sheng rose, and the maids opened the door, following her downstairs.

But as soon as she reached the great hall and saw the scene in the living room, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but widen her eyes on the spot.
