Li Yuan expressed his thanks before taking a glance at the girl. Soothing her soul with his gentle eyes, he held the umbrella and took off.
Time was on their side. He was grateful enough to be able to celebrate her birthday today. It would be pushing it to get all lovey-dovey in front of Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen.
It was not easy for Aunt Shen and Uncle Shen to go this far for his fair lady. Since they had made concessions, it was only fair that Li Yuan paid back the favor with utmost good faith.
The girl got the point and had been keeping an appropriate distance from him. She did not take too much to his side or it would make Uncle Shen unhappy.
Shen Xi begrudgingly watched his receding figure while snuffling. Since today was her birthday, she would certainly want to be kissed, hugged, and spoiled. Yet, nothing!
