After Xiao Ying finished speaking, she walked off the stage, only to be pushed forcefully by Xiao Lingbo, who had gone crazy.

At the critical moment, a pair of large hands caught Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying felt a familiar presence and looked up in surprise. “Brother, you’re back!”

There was no smile on Cheng Yang’s face. He reached out to flick her head and scolded her softly, “Causing trouble when I’m not around?”

Xiao Ying stuck out her tongue and didn’t speak.

When Xiao Lingbo saw Cheng Yang, he froze on the spot.

Cheng Yang looked at him indifferently and said, “It’s time for the Xiao family to be finished.”

With that, he left with Xiao Ying.

With them gone, the banquet was over as well.

Everyone looked at the Xiao family’s situation and knew that they absolutely had no chance to turn the tables.

They all mocked the Xiao couple for throwing away a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

They didn’t want a perfectly fine genius daughter, choosing a useless one instead.

Xiao Lingbo sat on the ground. Everything was over.

On the way home, Xiao Ying was unusually obedient.

Cheng Yang rolled his eyes at her and scoffed. “Now you’re sitting still? ”

Xiao Ying smiled ingratiatingly. “I was prepared when I did these things.”

Cheng Yang said, “You were prepared but almost got pushed down?”

Xiao Ying grinned and said, “My preparation was just you.”

Hearing this, Cheng Yang could no longer hold it in, revealing a sliver of a smile.

Seeing progress, Xiao Ying continued to say good things to Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang said helplessly, “Glib talker.”

Xiao Ying looked at the increasingly unfamiliar road and asked, “Brother, aren’t we going home?”

Cheng Yang made an affirmative noise and refused to speak after that.

Xiao Ying, who did not get the answer she wanted, asked again, “Where are we going?”

Cheng Yang hummed again, but he still didn’t answer.

Xiao Ying did not probe further. She felt a little tired sitting in the backseat so she picked up a pillow and hugged it in her arms. Placing her head on it, she closed her eyes to rest.

Cheng Yang looked at her through the rearview mirror, a gentle smile flashing across his eyes.

After the car stopped, Xiao Ying was already asleep. Cheng Yang did not disturb her. Only after seeing that it was almost time did he shake her.

“Ying’er, wake up.”

Xiao Ying opened her eyes groggily and looked at Cheng Yang. She remained in a daze for a while before her mind cleared up. “We’ve arrived?”

Cheng Yang nodded and let her out of the car.

Xiao Ying got out of the car and realized that they were on a beach.

“Wow, I’ve never been here before.”

She took a deep breath and felt that even the air was sweet.

Cheng Yang was surprisingly silent. Xiao Ying turned back to look at him. Just as she turned around, she heard a rumbling sound behind her.

The sky lit up.

Xiao Ying had a guess about what was behind her. She was stunned at first, not turning around immediately.

“You don’t like it?” Cheng Yang asked nervously.

Xiao Ying quickly turned her head and watched the fireworks explode in the sky. She said with a smile, “Where did you learn such a tacky surprise from, Brother?”

Cheng Yang smiled and said, “Ying’er, happy 18th birthday.”

With that, the fireworks spelled out, ‘Xiao Ying, happy 18th birthday’

Following that, a large group of people shouted from afar, “Xiao Ying, happy 18th birthday!”

They formed a long line and each of them handed a bouquet of roses to Xiao Ying.

“Xiao Ying, wishing you a lifetime of happiness.”

“Xiao Ying, wishing you can smile a hundred times a day, and if you need anything, look for Cheng Yang.”

“Xiao Ying, do whatever you want to do. Cheng Yang will always be your secure backing.”

…

The last person was Cheng Yang’s assistant from his company. Xiao Ying recognized him.

The assistant winked mischievously at Xiao Ying and said, “Miss Xiao Ying, President Cheng wrote all of the well-wishes we just recited. Of course, what I said just now wasn’t part of it. He wrote: Xiao Ying, you’re good enough as you are. You don’t have to work so hard anymore.”

Cheng Yang said, “Stop talking nonsense and leave.”
