"Hmm... That was such a good sleep!" Elena got up and stretched lazily.
For some reason, she had slept better than usual today, feeling refreshed and inexplicably content.
"Today is my birthday. I wonder if Xiao Chen has prepared a gift for me?"
Elena was full of expectation as she hurriedly freshened up and dressed, then dashed out.
However, after making a round, she did not see Xiao Chen, which left her very disappointed.
"Miss, happy birthday!" All the servants and guards she encountered on her way offered their sincere wishes.
"Have you seen Xiao Chen?" Elena asked.
"No, we haven't seen Mr. Xiao today!" a servant replied.
"Ah? Then where did he go?" Elena had a bad feeling.
"Elena, happy birthday!" At that moment, Barrette and Hate Gelei also came over.
"Dad, where's Xiao Chen?" Elena asked anxiously.
"Mr. Xiao, he..." Barrette hesitated.
Next to him, Hate Gelei said, "Mr. Xiao left early this morning!"
