h4Chapter 466: Chapter 466/h4

    That night was the happiest night Bo Jingshen had had in years.

    Although he had attached himself to Su Lu and shamelessly stuck by her side, making each day blissful, today was clearly the happiest of them all.

    It was his own birthday and he had seeded in his proposal.

    And he had ’given away his daughter’ too, resolving a matter close to his heart.

    Moreover, he had brought Su Lu back home.

    When they say "brought home," it really meant just that.

    "Hey, hold onto me a bit!" Su Lu felt a bit panicked as she got out of the car, her hands frantically searching.

    Not until she felt a warm, firm hand grasp hers did she feel relieved.

    "I’m holding you," Bo Jingshen said softly.

    Su Lu was utterly resigned; here they were, both old enough to retire when their ages werebined, yet they were acting like young lovers, full of romance and surprises. Wasn’t it a bit unfitting?

    Although she was inwardly criticizing, she was indulgent on the surface.

    Bo Jingshen wanted to surprise her by blindfolding her and taking her somewhere.

    Su Lu didn’t understand; today was clearly his birthday, so why did it feel like they were celebrating hers?

    "Because I love you," Bo Jingshen said simply.

    Su Lu was left speechless.

    But she truly feared the dark, so being blindfolded made her feel somewhat anxious.

    "Are we there yet? Where exactly are you taking me?" Su Lu asked.

    Bo Jingshen smiled, "We’re there, just there."

    "Tell me if there’s a step ahead!" Su Lu said nervously, gripping his hand.

    "Don’t worry, if there are steps, I’ll lift you up. Just trust me and walk with me," Bo Jingshen reassured her as he led her forward.

    Then Bo Jingshen stopped.

    "We’re there?" asked Su Lu.

    The next second, the blindfold on her face was lifted.

    Because her eyes had adjusted to the darkness during that time, the spotty light in front of her made her squint involuntarily.

    Only when her eyes grew ustomed to the light did she slowly open them.

    What met her gaze was a house.

    Not just any house, but the kind... like those you’d see in a DIY dollhouse, adorned with twinkling lights.

    At this moment, the house looked just like one of those erged versions of a dollhouse.

    Warm yellow fairy lights adorned the edges and corners of the house, beautiful and scattered like stars.

    The garden had warm yellow ground lights that illuminated neatly trimmed greenery.

    A warm yellow porch light brightened the area in front of the door.

    The light inside the house shone through the windows.

    The whole scene was cozy, as if someone was waiting for their loved one to return.

    So much so that Su Lu didn’t recognize it at first, "Is this... your house?"

    She remembered it being cold and dreary when shest saw it, definitely not like this.

    "Mm," Bo Jingshen nodded with a smile.

    Su Lu asked in surprise, "Is the renovation done already?"

    "It wasn’t much of a renovation," Bo Jingshen said.

    The main thing was that he had bought quite a bit of new furniture and made some simple alterations, primarily because the base decoration of the house had already been very well done.

    "I just set up the interior and then couldn’t wait to bring you home. I was too eager, but I was afraid it would seem like I had ulterior motives, so I waited for the perfect moment," Bo Jingshenughed.

    After hearing this, Su Lu smiled with her eyes curving, "So are you saying you don’t have ulterior motives now?"

    "I now... of course still have ulterior motives," Bo Jingshen didn’t hide it and proudly admitted, "But I am the birthday boy, so I do have some privileges."

    "It’s not because you are the birthday boy. It’s fiancé privileges," Su Lu pinched his hand, "Show me around."

    Bo Jingshen took her hand and led her to the yard, "Thewn has beenpletely ryed."

    Bo Jingshen pointed ahead, "Over there is an outdoor children’s yground, prepared for Xiao Le."

    Then he pointed at severalrge clusters of greenery on this side, still unrecognizable as anything, "These are for you."

    "Hm?" Su Lu looked at the clump of nts, which were still hard to make out, and vaguely guessed, "Roses?"

    Then she saw the man, looking like a big kid, proudly grinning and pointing at a bush, "These are roses! It seems like they are Juliet roses or Snow Mountain roses, anyway, quite a few different varieties."

    He pointed to another bunch not far off, "That’s Princess Flower, both purple and white."

    Then pointed at yet another, "This is... this seems to be Iris."

    None had bloomed yet; at the moment, they were just bunches of green nts.

    But Su Lu found his proud demeanor quite amusing.

    "Why haven’t any bloomed?"

    "I don’t know... they were like this when I bought them, and I just nted them. They should bloom, eventually they will," Bo Jingshen said.

    Su Lu stared at him in astonishment, "Did you buy them yourself?"

    "Mm," Bo Jingshen nodded, recalling how after hisst trip to the flower market, he felt quite familiar with it, so he went again by himself this time.

    But listening to this, Su Lu felt this man might have been conned.

    Yet, given the current atmosphere, Su Lu felt it wasn’t the right moment to speak inly. However, not long after, many of the flowers Bo Jingshen nted grew red spiders, and after infecting each other with pests, they all died... He was infuriated. But he was too embarrassed to admit he had been duped, though heter stopped trying to manage it himself.

    He decisively handed the job over to a professional gardener.

    As for this batch of nts, Su Lu never actually saw them bloom; they just failed.

    But that’s a story for another time.

    Then Bo Jingshen took Su Lu towards the house, "Let me show you inside."

    "Okay," Su Lu obediently followed him to the front door where the porchmp cast a warm yellow halo, the electronic lock shing.

    Bo Jingshen lifted his chin, "Go ahead, open it."

    Su Lu extended a finger and pressed her birthday, the electronic lock immediately lit up with the unlocking blue light.

    Su Lu still remembered herst visit, seeing what looked almost like a barren Syrian-style interior, empty and barely short of being an unfinished building.

    Now, the furniture inside wasplete, with charming little decorative pieces scattered everywhere.

    On the walls were little photo frames, each containing a picture. There were photos of Zhao Xiaole’s delicately carved little face, photos of Su Lu, some of her painting, some of her looking down, and some of herughing profile caught unawares.

    Su Lu was stunned, "When were all these taken?"

    "Obviously, I waited for the right moments to secretly take them," Bo Jingshen led her, pulling out a pair of soft pink slippers from the entrance shoe cab. He himself took a pair of light gray ones.

    Su Lu noticed another small pair of goose yellow slippers in the cab, clearly prepared for Zhao Xiaole.
