Seducing Childhood Sweetheart - Chapter 21
Chapter 21
Birthday Gift
Two weeks after her return, it was Gu Yuan’s birthday. She had planned to spend it with Feng Xinian. Her father was no longer her father after he married a new wife and had a stepdaughter. At most, they were only biologically connected.
However, the reality was that Gu Yuan was a young girl before the rebirth and had long invited a group of classmates and friends to participate in her birthday party.
Gu Yuan’s birthday was on the weekend. Her birthday party was held in her private villa. She remembered that this villa was her 14th birthday gift from Feng Xinian. After they fell out, she rarely came here. But Feng Xinian hired someone to clean the place regularly, so when she came in, she felt like she was coming home.
Gu Yuan looked at the people busy arranging the venue, feeling that she owed Feng Xinian a lot.
Gu Yuan’s sixteenth birthday, her first birthday since she was reborn, she felt like a newborn.
Gu Yuan remembered that in her last life, this time was the time when she and Feng Xinian had a bad time. He said he wanted to send her a birthday gift, but she rashly did not accept it, yet he still sent it. Gu Yuan knew that Feng Xinian prepared her birthday gift every year attentively. But she was still angry that she did not open it. Now that she thought about it, she was indeed capricious. That’s why she got such retribution in her last life.
Gu Yuan had seen Feng Xinian often come back late these days. He didn’t have to study late and had no competitions lately. She recalled what Uncle Liu had told her earlier, that brother Xinian had been in the lab recently. Gu Yuan knew that Feng Xinian had started a successful business during his college years, and later on, he had grown his business into a consortium involving various industries.
Gu Yuan thought that Feng Xinian was busy. After all, when they stayed on the uninhabited island, Feng Xinian spent every moment with her. He should have a lot of things in hand. However, just like in the last life, even if Feng Xinian was busy, he embraced her to sleep every night. He wanted her to see him every day when she opened her eyes.
On Gu Yuan’s birthday, the man who had held her in his arms the night before and slept with her was gone for the entire day. However, last night, when Gu Yuan slept in a daze, she heard Feng Xinian say he would be back before the birthday party.

Gu Yuan was born extremely beautiful, with exquisite facial features, black-straight hair, and an attractive body. Today, after all, was a birthday party, so Gu Yuan had a styling team. She asked not to be heavily make-up. The girl in a white silk dress had simple make-up, wearing a necklace called ‘Star,’ which Feng Xinian got from the auction. The girl’s smile was brilliant as the star with the unique naivety of a young girl.
Xie Yanyan, as a fellow student, should have been immune to Gu Yuan’s beauty, but today she was also distracted. She suddenly realized Xiao Yuan could take down the Feng Schoolmaster with her capital! The only one who was blind was probably Lin Yuan.
The banquet food was very delicious. Xie Yanyan was ready to eat a full meal and then go to find Gu Yuan to take a few beautiful photos to post on her Moments.
Gu Yuan was distracted the whole night. The person she was waiting for had not yet come, and as far as she could remember, Feng Xinian had not missed any of her birthdays.
The people around her wished her happy birthday, but when she did not hear that certain person say these words, Gu Yuan felt that this was not a birthday.
Suddenly, a person fell from the sky.
Gu Yuan thought it was Feng Xinian, but when she looked up, she realized it was a foreigner in a black dress.
“Hello friends, I am tonight’s special guest, magician Jack, and now I will perform magic for you.”
“The first magic trick is the transformation of a living person!”
The crowd was filled with exclamations of surprise as the lights in the arena suddenly went out, only to return to light in three seconds.
Then, the crowd realized that tonight’s heroine was missing.

Gu Yuan didn’t know how she suddenly came to the garden outside the villa. At this time, the garden path had been lit up with lights.
Gu Yuan saw the one her heart had longed for standing in the glass flower house he had built for her with his own hands.
“Yuan’er, happy birthday.”
The youth took the girl’s hand and led her to open the door of the glass flower room. The darkened glass flower room had a faint aroma of orange blossoms and irises.
Then, Gu Yuan saw her mom, whom she hadn’t seen in years. Her mom was still the same as she remembered, so gentle and always smiling at her.
“Mom ……” how long had she not called out this name? Even in her dreams, her mom was stingy and rarely appeared.
She heard her mom’s voice just as she remembered it, and her mom said, “Happy Birthday, Yuan’er.”
Gu Yuan even thought she was dreaming as she touched the mom before her. She felt her body heat!
Gu Yuan lost her mother, who loved her the most when she was ten. At that time, her father, Gu Chengan, was busy with business and didn’t have time to accompany her. During those two years, Feng Xinian always stayed with her.
Feng Xinian watched the girl’s tears and thought she was too sad. His heart ached with pain, encircling the petite person from behind, lowering his head to kiss the tip of her ear.
“Yuan’er, in the future, I will always be with you.”
When Gu Yuan heard these words, her heart was even more sour. In her last life, she was the one who didn’t accompany him properly.
“Brother Xinian ……,” the girl’s voice was sweet and soft, with innocent coquettishness.
Apparently, Feng Xinian had been busy in the laboratory to prepare this special birthday gift for her.
It was impossible for Gu Yuan not to be touched. She couldn’t help but hug the youth in front of her. He was the best gift to her from heaven.
