Song Ge waved her hand, looking nonchalant. "I'm really okay." After a pause, she said, "Aunt Chen, don't tell Zhai about this."
Aunt Chen looked at Song Ge's expression and nodded. "Okay."
After finishing her meal, Song Ge left the hall. Aunt Chen watched her leaving back and shook her head helplessly.
Around midnight, the sound of a car engine came from outside the gate.
By this time, Song Ge was already sound asleep. Zhai Cheng deliberately slowed his steps and gently got into bed.
He slowly hugged Song Ge from behind and fell into a peaceful sleep. For Zhai Cheng, the work in the past few days had been extremely tiring, and only when he was back home could he relax like this.
Regarding Song Ge's abnormal behavior in the past few days, Zhai Cheng dared not think about it, nor did he want to. He was afraid that if something really happened, it would be too bad.
Early the next morning, when Song Ge woke up groggily from her sleep, Zhai Cheng was no longer beside her.
Song Ge stretched and then got up to get busy. There were only two days left until Zhai Cheng's birthday party. She had to make all the preparations in advance.
After breakfast, she greeted Aunt Chen and rushed out.
In Yonghe Building, Song Ge was quite at ease on her own. She wandered around for a long time and bought all the things Zhai Cheng liked to eat, filling several big and small bags.
Song Ge carried the bags and looked around, muttering to herself that these should be enough.
Then she was about to go home, but just as she passed by a store, she unconsciously slowed down. Her eyes immediately caught sight of a tie clip in the window.
"He should look great wearing this," she thought, and then quickly walked into the store.
As soon as she stepped into the store, the salesperson greeted her politely. "Hello, miss. May I ask what you need?"
Song Ge pointed at the tie clip. "Take that one down and let me have a look."
"Miss, you have really good taste. This is a new style just released in our store."
The salesperson carefully handed the tie clip to Song Ge. Song Ge took it and began to examine it carefully. It was small and delicate, perfect in every way.
"Please help me wrap this up," Song Ge said. The salesperson nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
After leaving the store, Song Ge was overjoyed. She thought that this time she must handle every detail of Zhai Cheng's birthday party by herself.
After all, the time she had left was limited. Let her do the most meaningful things in this limited time.
After shopping, Song Ge took a taxi directly back to the mansion. When Aunt Chen saw Song Ge coming back with big and small bags, she quickly went over to help her.
"Oh, Miss Song, you bought so many things. Aren't you tired carrying them?"
Song Ge put down some of the things at the entrance and shook her head. "It's okay, Aunt Chen. I'm not tired at all. I had a great harvest today.
There's only one day left until his birthday. I'm going to give him a big surprise."
Aunt Chen smiled happily upon hearing this. "Miss Song, you're really good to the young master."
Song Ge smiled faintly. "Of course." Then she went up to the storage room after saying that.
There was a small attic in the storage room, filled with all of Zhai Cheng's childhood things, which had been well-preserved from the time he was one year old until now.
Song Ge thought carefully. Since it was a birthday, these childhood things could be taken out for nostalgia.
Song Ge took out all the meaningful things from the attic and placed them in an inconspicuous corner of the room.
After all, it was supposed to be a surprise for Zhai Cheng. She couldn't let him find out now.
Soon, the birthday party was held as scheduled. In the Zhai Mansion, people from all walks of life gathered together, including business elites, famous ladies, and noblewomen.
"The birthday party today is really grand."
"Of course! This is Mr. Zhai we're talking about!"
Several bosses whispered to each other as they spoke.
Song Ge was wearing a white tasseled long dress today and had a simple light makeup on. She stood gracefully beside Zhai Cheng. The two of them looked perfectly matched.
"How about it? Are you tired standing? Do you want to go and take a rest?" Zhai Cheng asked Song Ge beside him considerately.
Song Ge looked up at Zhai Cheng and smiled. "How could I be tired? Today is your birthday. I don't want to let you, the birthday star, lose face."
Upon hearing this, Zhai Cheng smiled even more affectionately. This little woman was just so good at capturing his heart.
Although it was a birthday party, there were also many business elites present. Naturally, Zhai Cheng couldn't be idle. He kept toasting the bosses. It was out of courtesy and he had no choice.
Song Ge wasn't really bothered by the tiredness, but she had been thinking about a certain idea in her mind.
She thought that she must say it today. Otherwise, she would never have another chance.
"Today is Young Master Zhai's birthday. Let's all wish Young Master Zhai a happy birthday!"
The people who came to offer birthday greetings all spoke in unison. Zhai Cheng quickly raised his glass. "Thank you all for coming."
Following that, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate. But suddenly, the lights went out, and everyone let out a cry of surprise. All the lights were focused on the stairs.
Song Ge walked down the stairs gracefully, then looked at Zhai Cheng affectionately. Her voice was a bit choked up. "Zhai Cheng, we've been through so many ups and downs. I'm sure we can always be together. Can I be with you forever?"
Zhai Cheng was shocked at first, but then he was extremely excited. He didn't expect that this little woman would propose to him on her own initiative.
"Sure, sure, sure. We'll be together forever." Then there was a round of enthusiastic applause.
Song Ge hugged Zhai Cheng tightly, and the tears in the corners of her eyes couldn't stop flowing. At this moment, she could only hold Zhai Cheng tightly while she still could.
In the dance floor, many men and women were dancing closely together. Elegant music came from the center of the dance floor.
Zhai Cheng was dancing intimately with Song Ge in his arms. Song Ge gently rested her head on Zhai Cheng's chest. "Why did you agree to me just now?"
Zhai Cheng gave an answer that made Song Ge extremely satisfied. "Because I love you, and we can be together forever."
Song Ge heard this and thought that this was enough. She tried hard to hold back her tears. At least for now, hearing this answer was enough for her.
"Okay, then we must be together forever. After the party is over later, I'll give you your birthday present personally."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Song Ge felt that she couldn't catch her breath.
She only felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter, and her feet were getting more and more unsteady. She knew that her illness must have flared up, but she insisted not to faint at this moment.
But in the end, she couldn't hold on. Finally, her vision went dark.
This also scared Zhai Cheng half to death. He was extremely frightened. He picked up Song Ge and rushed upstairs, leaving the people there at a loss.
The party was quickly announced to be over.
