Zhao Chen said: "The day after tomorrow is your birthday. You have to go home. How long will it take to come? If you don't come, I won't go chop down Aphrodite by myself."
Cheng Bi chuckled and said, "It seems very unkind to kill someone just after receiving the reward. Don't worry, didn't I invite you to my birthday party? We will come back together then. In fact,
I think it’s just a simple birthday. I’m happy just to have my parents and friends with me. My dad insisted on having some kind of coming-of-age ceremony, and there must be a group of people who want to follow the trend. It’s so hypocritical, and it makes me upset just looking at it.”
Zhao Chen smiled, gently hugged her and comforted her: "This is also your father's intention. After all, turning 18 is considered a milestone in life. No matter whether it is true or false, there are so many people.
It’s very rare to come here to congratulate and commemorate, and it’s even harder for others to do so.”
Cheng Bi turned around and said, "I'm going to be 18 soon. Do you think I'm old?"
Zhao Chen couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Have you never heard of the eighteen-flowered flower? Besides, if I am old at the age of 18, then wouldn't it mean that I have lost my teeth at 20 and can't walk anymore?"
Cheng Bi also laughed after hearing this and said, "I wonder what gift dad will give me."
Zhao Chen said: "Then why didn't you ask me what gift I would give you?"
Cheng Bi said: "I'm very happy if you can go, so you don't have to worry about preparing gifts."
Zhao Chen said: "How can this work? This is your first birthday after becoming my girlfriend, and it is such a memorable birthday as your 18th birthday. How can I not give you a gift?"
Cheng Bi was intrigued by what he said, "When you say that, I'm really looking forward to it. So what will you give me? Your most precious brooch has already been given to me."
Speaking of the brooch, Cheng Bi asked again: "By the way, you have never asked your parents why you and Zhao He have the same brooch?"
Zhao Chen shook his head and said: "I have never gone back, and my brooch is not from my father's family, but from my mother's family. Both my parents' surnames are Liu. And Zhao He was given to him by his father, so even if we have
Relative relationship, they should also be cousins."
Cheng Bi nodded and said, "But it's really a coincidence. You should ask about it sometime."
Zhao Chen said: "Okay, ask, satisfy your curiosity."
Cheng Bi smiled and continued: "By the way, you should have known for a long time that my dad is Cheng Qingjue, the chairman of Tianjue Group."
Zhao Chen nodded and said: "I know, I've known it for a long time, but I like you not because of whose daughter you are, but because of who you are. You should also know very well that I neither need nor like to climb up to the dragon and follow the phoenix."
Cheng Bi leaned against Zhao Chen gently and said, "Of course I know this, but I don't know about your parents yet, and you never mentioned it."
Zhao Chen was silent for a while, and Cheng Bi didn't bother him. She was just curious and asked. If he didn't want to talk, she would never force him.
After a while, Zhao Chen said with some melancholy: "Actually, I wanted to say it earlier, but I didn't know how to mention it. After all, it's not a happy thing. My parents divorced not long ago."
Cheng Bi never thought that Zhao Chen's parents would get divorced. It was really unbelievable that the child could not have a good life at such an old age, so she hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Zhao Chen, I didn't know that I made you sad."
