Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 254 I have a special plan, but I must keep it a secret for now.

"Xiao Fan, do you remember Zhao Zixin, the young master of Hong's Real Estate that your father mentioned to you? He comes from a prominent family, is handsome, and has excellent qualities in every way. Why don't you want to consider him?"

Wang Qing's voice, tinged with helplessness and concern, gently pierced the morning tranquility and drifted into the ears of Xu Xiaofan, who was busy at her dressing table.

"Ill-known family background? Handsome appearance? How does that compare to Brother Mu Chen?"

Xu Xiaofan continued applying her makeup, but a series of problems gave Wang Qing a headache.

“Zhao Zixin and Huo Muchen are naturally incomparable, but Xiaofan, it’s been three years. I’ve seen Huo Muchen’s attitude towards you. He has absolutely no interest in you. You’re not young anymore. In a few months you’ll be 26. You can’t waste your youth on him, can you? Besides, I’ve heard that he’s never stopped having women around him. Even if you marry him, he won’t be loyal to only you!”

Wang Qing earnestly persuaded Xu Xiaofan, hoping she could let go of her obsession with Huo Muchen.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaofan slammed the lipstick in her hand against the mirror, the quiet room echoing with a crisp shattering sound, accompanied by her angry voice reverberating throughout the room:

“What do you mean I’m not young anymore? I’m only 25, while Mu Chen is 29. His parents are definitely more anxious than you are. Didn’t you say that Mu Chen told his parents that if he doesn’t meet the right person this year, he’ll listen to their arrangements and marry anyone? Our two families are old friends, and with so many years of friendship, how could Aunt Huo not prioritize me? Besides, he only had one female celebrity by his side recently, but they broke up a while ago. I’ve waited so long, how could I give up on going on blind dates with other men now?”

"Okay, okay, honey, don't be angry. I heard his parents will be back in a while. Your dad and I will try to set you two up then."

Seeing that her daughter was angry, Wang Qing quickly tried to comfort her.

Hearing Wang Qing say that, Xu Xiaofan finally smiled a little, but then she was immersed in the sweet days of living with Huo Muchen in the future.

"Sister Shishi, your birthday is in a few days. What are your plans for celebrating?"

Li Qingyou looked at Liu Shiyin's serene face and said softly,

"I don't have any plans. I used to buy myself flowers every time, but now that I own my own flower shop, I don't need to buy flowers anymore."

Liu Shiyin joked with a smile.

"That won't do. It's only a once-a-year birthday, how can it be like this? I'll make the arrangements this year."

Li Qingyou winked at Liu Shiyin and said playfully,

"Qingyou, you're always so thoughtful, I'm so grateful, but I..."

"Sister Shishi, don't think so much. Cheer up, leave everything to me."

Li Qingyou smiled sweetly, then seemed to think of something, and her eyes suddenly became mysterious.

"I have a special plan, but I have to keep it a secret until your birthday."

Looking into Li Qingyou's expectant eyes, Liu Shiyin felt a warm current well up in her heart. She knew that whatever Li Qingyou arranged, it must have been prepared with care. So, she nodded and smiled, saying:

"Alright, then I'll wait and see."

A few days later, in the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the half-open curtains into the room, casting a golden glow on the floor.

Gu Heng and Li Qingyou bustled about the room, balloons, ribbons, and decorations fluttering in the air, as if they were hosting a silent party.

"Xiaoyou, are you sure Liu Shiyin will like this surprise?"

As Gu Heng hung a carefully selected banner on the wall, he turned and asked.

Li Qingyou was arranging the bouquets on the table. She looked up, her eyes shining with determination:

"Of course, Sister Shishi will like whatever I make,"
