CHAPTER 878: CHAPTER 875: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

"Half an hour left, does that count as catching up?" Shen Wenzhou asked Ji Muran.

Ji Muran nodded vigorously, "Mm-hmm!"

Of course it counts!

"Happy birthday." Shen Wenzhou said softly.

Seeing the girl so excited in front of him, Shen Wenzhou felt that rushing back after finishing work was worthwhile.

Then Shen Wenzhou took out a small box from his coat pocket. The box was small, and Ji Muran recognized it as a high-end luxury brand. Such a small box could only contain jewelry.

Shen Wenzhou said, "I didn’t know when your birthday was before, so I got this necklace last minute. It seems to suit you, though I don’t know if you’ll like it."

As he spoke, Shen Wenzhou opened the box and handed it to Ji Muran.

Ji Muran opened it in front of Shen Wenzhou. The necklace was exquisite, but Ji Muran only glanced at it before telling the man in front of her, "I really like it!"

At this moment, for Ji Muran, whether the item was beautiful or her preferred style did not matter; what mattered was the man in front of her.

Shen Wenzhou smiled; he had put a lot of thought into it, after all. It’s best if she was happy.

"Can you help me put it on?" Ji Muran kept her gaze on Shen Wenzhou, not shifting her eyes for a moment.

Shen Wenzhou didn’t say anything; he simply picked up the necklace, and Ji Muran quickly turned around to make it easier for Shen Wenzhou to help her put it on.

The sky was somewhat dark, but they stood at the entrance of the neighborhood, with streetlights illuminating enough for them to see. Shen Wenzhou quickly helped Ji Muran put on the necklace.

Ji Muran turned around, slightly unzipping her down jacket so Shen Wenzhou could clearly see how the necklace looked on her neck.

"Does it look good?" Ji Muran asked.

Shen Wenzhou nodded, "It looks good."

Ji Muran was overjoyed, her fingers carefully stroking the pendant as they stood in the cold wind for quite a while.

"It’s getting late, you should go back and rest." Shen Wenzhou said.

Ji Muran was somewhat reluctant, but it was almost midnight, and they couldn’t keep standing there. As for inviting Mr. Shen to her home...

Thinking of this, Ji Muran couldn’t help but blush. It was too soon, and she wasn’t prepared at all!

Shen Wenzhou had no idea what was on Ji Muran’s mind at that moment. He just saw her silent and thought she was a bit reluctant to part.

After all, if they counted carefully, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

But they couldn’t just stand there forever. Shen Wenzhou continued, "Go back and rest first. Let’s have dinner together tomorrow night, as a make-up celebration for your birthday, okay?"

"Okay." Ji Muran nodded vigorously.

Shen Wenzhou smiled, placing his hand gently on Ji Muran’s hair, giving it a slight rub, "Go inside. I’ll leave once you’ve gone in."

"Good night, then." Ji Muran didn’t want to go inside, but thinking if she didn’t go in, Mr. Shen would also stay outside.

Mr. Shen rushed back just to say "Happy Birthday" to her in person. Ji Muran certainly didn’t want to see Mr. Shen so tired.

So, Ji Muran walked into the neighborhood, turning back every few steps. Shen Wenzhou stood in place until she disappeared from sight, then he turned and walked to his car by the roadside.

Not long after, Shen Wenzhou left. The security guard, who had been watching the scene, turned back to watching TV.
