On the couch, a drunk girl was all over another girl and they were giggling together.

In the middle of the room.

“Mr. Luo?”

“… …”

The smile on Luo Xiu lessened and he turned and looked next to him –

An actress on the team who could hold up a wine glass like she was on the cover on some magazine even at a small gather like this whose name he could not remember had been chatting him up for half of the night.

Gu Nian was baffled as she touched the top of her own head, seeming still be able to feel the warmth from earlier.

Her precious son was kind, simple, and personable. She thought people like that always loved making friends and being around others and would love to be surrounded by many friends and families on his birthday.

Nevertheless, it would appear that…

Gu Nian looked up hesitantly and glanced over into the middle of the room. Half leaning against the table, the man was sloshing the champagne in the glass in his hand. His eyes were languid and there was a hint of a smile on him.

Gu Nian gave him a smile.

She lifted the black silky ribbon in her hand to wrap it over his eyes. Gauging the difference in height between the two of them, she realized that this task turned out to be a lot more challenging that she had initially expected.

“Oh, Mr. Luo, let’s head over to where the stairs are so I can put this over you.”

“Okay.”

Gu Nian had to stand three steps above him in order to reach the suitable height. Carefully perching behind his shoulder, Gu Nian waited for Luo Xiu to take his spectacles off before she placed the ribbon over his now-closed eyes and tied it into a bow at the back of his head gently.

Luo Xiu didn’t really want the number committed to his memory but his memory was a passive skill. Not to mention that with Gu Nian being with him today, he had already seen this number quite a few times.

Luo Xiu looked up and over at the stairs with no movements o it and answered the call.

The woman’s voice coming from the other side was irritated. “You finally picked up!”

Luo Xiu’s voice was very levelled. “The only reason I did not block your number was because of the few years of relationship between the Luo and the Zhuo families. My patience is not unlimited.”

“I… I was anxious was all, which was why I had called you several times.”

“Something’s the matter?”

“It’s your birthday today, right? Where did you go? I went over to your room a few times and you were not there every time.”
