Chapter 51 A Belated Birthday Gift



Chapter 51 A Belated Birthday Gift

Two days before Yanting woke up, Chen Xiao came to the hospital.

"Hello." The rich, deep voice made the nurse at the front desk momentarily lose her composure.

She looked up and saw a strikingly handsome man with deep pink hair standing in front of her.

Holding the flowers, Chen Xiao lowered his voice and asked, "What's the room number for Yanting's ward?"

Tempted by her stunning beauty, the nurse instinctively replied, "It's in 608, the first one on the third floor around the corner."

In VIP ward 608.

Chen Xiao sat by the bed, looking at Yan Ting, who was lying unconscious on the bed. His deep eyelids drooped, and his long eyelashes concealed the obscure emotions in his eyes. He stretched out his slender fingers and smoothed the slightly messy hair at Yan Ting's temples.

Immediately afterwards, the man leaned down and gently pressed his cool lips against Yan Ting's forehead, lingering for three seconds before leaving a forehead kiss devoid of any ambiguity.

Yan Ting seemed to sense the kiss, and her dark eyelashes trembled very slightly.

She seemed to be trying desperately to wake up, but she just couldn't.

"You've been pestering me for a rose-pink diamond for a while now, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to give it to you." His low voice held regret, reminiscence, and relief.

The day Yan Ting had her accident happened to be her birthday. A few days before his childhood sweetheart's birthday, Chen Xiao specially commissioned a jewelry designer to create a rose-shaped diamond to suit Yan Ting's preferences.

He knew his daughter liked pink, so he specifically chose a pink diamond.

Unfortunately, the pink diamond was buried in the grave along with its owner, never to see the light of day again.

"Mr. Chen, please accept my condolences!"

Chen Xiao curled his lips, glanced coldly at the man, and said in a sinister and icy voice, "Screw your mourning!"

He couldn’t believe his girl had died so tragically until he saw Yanting’s remains.

The man choked for a moment and dared not utter another sound.

I thought to myself, how could people not die in a plane crash?

Unless a miracle happens!

But the probability of this is almost one in a billion.

No one could have imagined that the flight Yanting was on would experience a sudden accident, causing the plane to crash in mid-air.

Because of Yan Ting's relationship with Chen Xiao, this incident quickly became a trending topic on various platforms and in news reports.

In just one hour, Chen Xiao lost his lover forever.

During that time, many people were worried about his mental state.

Everyone in high society knows that Chen Xiao loves his childhood sweetheart very much. In the eyes of outsiders, they are the most perfect couple, childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and a loving couple.

But fate was cruel, tearing this loving couple apart.

“Brother Chen.” Pei Li looked at Chen Xiao cautiously, unsure how to comfort him.

As someone who had followed Chen Xiao around since childhood, he knew Chen Xiao better than most outsiders.

Genetics is truly amazing.

In fact, true love is a very rare thing in their circle.

In their circle, it's actually quite common for married couples to go their separate ways after marriage and secretly keep mistresses or gigolos.

Even wealthy couples who initially had a strong bond eventually saw their marriages break down and ultimately perish due to the wear and tear of time, arguments, and suspicions.

However, Chen Xiao and Yan Ting remained deeply in love for ten years.

The Chen family is known in Beijing for its strict family discipline, but Chen Xiao has developed a prickly personality in this environment. He acts arrogantly and does whatever he wants, making him completely different from the other members of the Chen family who are usually very low-key.

Pei Li even suspected that Chen Xiao might not be a descendant of the Chen family.

But it wasn't until he saw Yanting that he suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that Chen Xiao inherited one thing completely from the Chen family.

That is deep affection.

Everyone knows that the Chen family is known for producing many romantics.

Chen Xiao's father was a romantic, his grandfather was a romantic, not to mention the rest of the Chen family.

For this reason, Chen Xiao has always been the top choice for marriage among the daughters of wealthy and influential families.

But Chen Xiao had a special fondness for Yanting.

Although the Yan family and the Chen family have been friends for generations, the Yan family's foundation is far inferior to that of the Chen family. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Yan Ting is not a good match for Chen Xiao.

They even felt that Chen Xiao would one day stop liking Yan Ting.

Even if the Chen family wants to arrange a marriage, their social standing should be compatible.

They naturally assumed that dating is dating and marriage is marriage.

Even Pei Li thought so; he always felt that Chen Xiao and Yan Ting wouldn't go far.

but……

damn it.

This man practically turned Yanting into another version of himself.

He taught her how to invest, how to avoid risks, racing skills, rock climbing, and even how to shoot a gun, how to box, and how to stay fit.

He transformed a perfectly cool and aloof, Buddhist-like soft girl into a domineering female CEO.

Pei Li was truly convinced.

Chen Xiao's intentions were quite clear.

It's okay if I'm not good enough for you.

He will find a way to make them the best match.

They were such a perfect match that everyone could only keep quiet and offer their blessings.

This is exactly the arrogant and unrestrained style that Prince Chen has always maintained.

But no one expected that, due to a sudden plane crash, Yanting would die unexpectedly.

After Yan Ting's remains were recovered, Chen Xiao unexpectedly did not cry, break down, or scream. He simply sat quietly in their bridal chamber, holding her urn, and did not come out.

But the more silent he became, the more unsettling it seemed.

Because true great sorrow and joy are always silent and unnoticed.

Faced with Pei Li's comforting words, Chen Xiao showed little emotion. He stared at the urn in his arms and suddenly said, "Zhizhi isn't doing too well right now."

A statement that sounds very strange.

Pei Li frowned. This was the first time he had seen Chen Xiao so dejected and listless. He could only try to comfort him, saying, "Brother Chen, you should let your wife rest in peace as soon as possible!"

Chen Xiao raised his eyelids, his dark eyes staring straight at Pei Li without a trace of warmth. He said softly, "Zhizhi is not dead. She is calling me to come and save her."

For the past few days, he has been having the same dream over and over again.

Most of the fragments in his dream were blurry, but one thing he clearly sensed was that his Zhizhi was still alive. This idea was very strange, but he firmly believed it.

Chen Xiao is a person who does not believe in Buddha or God, but only in himself.

But at this moment, he hoped that gods truly existed in this world.

My only wish is to be reunited with my beloved.

-

Chen Xiao lifted Yan Ting's head with his palm and gently placed the rose pink diamond on her beautiful swan neck. Her snow-white skin and the rose pink diamond complemented each other perfectly, creating a delicate and luxurious beauty.

Although this rose pink diamond is not the one designed before the time travel, it carries the same meaning.

A unique favoritism is given to only one person.
