Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Shen Zhaozhao, Will You Be My Mrs. Sheng?

Her dad’s sudden change of topic was too obvious, and Shen Zhaozhao harbored some doubts, but under her dad’s urging, she eventually gave up on pursuing the matter.

Upon opening the box, she discovered a pair of couple’s watches inside.

"These are specially chosen by your mom and me for the two of you, how about that? Aren’t your parents’ tastes pretty good?" Daddy Zhaozhao said with a tone of seeking credit.

"They look great; thank you, Mom and Dad."

"Thank you, Uncle Shen, Aunt Shu Ran," Sheng Chuyi also expressed his thanks.

"Zhaozhao, happy birthday!" At that moment, Qin Suxin also took out a gift and said, "This is from Uncle Sheng and me for you two. But, you can wait until you get back to take a look at it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaozhao didn’t rush to unwrap it and took the gift into her bag, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Sheng and Aunt Suxin."

Qin Suxin then turned to her younger son: "Ali, where is the present you prepared for your brother and sister?"

Though Sheng Yeli was still a few months shy of ten years old, he had started school early and skipped two grades, about to enter junior high.

Over the years, his temperament hadn’t changed much, still as taciturn as ever.

Cooler than Sheng Chuyi had been at his age.

Suddenly called out by Qin Suxin, Sheng Yeli first handed a box to Sheng Chuyi and said, "Brother, happy birthday!" Then, with a cool expression, he handed another box to Shen Zhaozhao.

"Meh, for you."

"You child, how do you speak to your Sister Zhao?" Qin Suxin scolded him.

"Thank you, Ali!" Shen Zhaozhao didn’t take it to heart and accepted the gift with a smile, even taking the opportunity to pinch his cheek.

Sheng Xiaotongxie’s face grew even darker.

Since it was a birthday celebration, naturally, there was no shortage of cake, and like when they were children, Shen Zhaozhao and Sheng Chuyi were arranged to make a wish and blow out candles together.

Shen Zhaozhao closed her eyes, then opened them after a moment, to find everyone watching her. A flash of embarrassment crossed her face, and she asked Sheng Chuyi, "Aren’t you going to make a wish?"

"No need!" Sheng Chuyi said, "My wish won’t come true if I ask others; only you can help me make it come true."

"Me?" Shen Zhaozhao blinked.

"Yes!" Sheng Chuyi nodded and said, "My wish this year is to have the chance to marry you and bring you home, so, Shen Zhaozhao, would you fulfill my wish and become Mrs. Sheng?"

Today wasn’t just their birthday; it was also the day they could get their marriage certificate.

Shen Zhaozhao had anticipated that they would get married but didn’t expect him to be so eager. She was stunned for a moment but soon came to her senses, smilingly said, "Alright! I’ll help you fulfill your wish this year."

The candlelight reflected on their faces as Shen Zhaozhao beamed radiantly, and for a moment in Sheng Chuyi’s eyes, there seemed to be no one else but her. Under the affectionate and blessing gazes of both their parents, he leaned down close to her and kissed her.

Shen Zhaozhao involuntarily closed her eyes until she heard applause ringing in her ears. She then suddenly came to her senses, her ears reddening as she hurriedly pushed Sheng Chuyi away.

However, the latter remained composed as if it wasn’t him who had just kissed her in front of their parents.

Seeing the knowing smiles on both sets of parents’ faces made Shen Zhaozhao blush even more. Eventually, it was Qin Suxin who amicably began speaking to ease the awkwardness, "You two can blow out the candles now!"

With a blushing face, Shen Zhaozhao and Sheng Chuyi together blew out the candles. Then Daddy Zhaozhao smiled and pulled out an envelope from behind, handing it to Sheng Chuyi and saying, "Inside is this girl’s household registration booklet; we’ve brought it for her. From now on, she’s in your hands, and you have to treat her well."

"I will," Sheng Chuyi promised seriously, glancing at Shen Zhaozhao.
