She felt that it was already good enough .
‘It’s alright . I don’t feel much anyway…’
Her words brought tears to Xuxu’s eyes . Indeed, she never had the chance to celebrate her birthday with her parents, so there was nothing for her to compare with even if he didn’t turn up today . Hence, what kind of feelings was she expected to have?
Xuxu walked over to Su Yue and put her hand on her shoulders, patting it lightly . “Sit down and have a cup of tea . ”
She then threw a cold gaze at Yan Weiye .
Yan Weiye hung his head down in guilt and walked towards the sofa and sat down .
Su Yue walked over and sat down about half a meter away from him, her head bowed as well .
The servant brought some tea over, and Su Yue picked up a cup and held it in her hand .
“I’ll go upstairs first . ” Yan Rusheng didn’t linger further and strode towards the staircase .
Xuxu took a look at Su Yue and after some deliberation, she said, “Yueyue, I’m also going up to have my shower and sleep . You too have an early night . ”
Su Yue nodded before looking at Yan Weiye . “Daddy, what do you want?”
Although she addressed Yan Weiye as ‘Daddy’ each time, it still merely sounded like an appellation with no emotions attached . It was only a code name that she used on him .
Yan Weiye sighed . “Eighteen already . You’re already eighteen . ”
Come to think of it, his daughter was already eighteen, but the number of times that he had seen her could be counted on his fingers .
From her birth until she grew up, he wasn’t involved . Even after bringing her home, he still didn’t fulfill his duty as a father .
He didn’t say anything further and picked up the white paper bag on the coffee table . He took out a small pink box from it which was exquisitely wrapped in a red butterfly knot .
Yan Weiye took his time to open the box . There was a mini tiara in it which was studded with many diamonds that sparkled under the lights .
It was bright and dazzling .
He picked up the tiara with his hands and handed it to Su Yue . “Yueyue, whatever happens, you will always remain as daddy’s princess yesterday, today, and forever . ”
Su Yue looked at that tiara with no trace of expression on her face . In fact, she looked cold and distant .
Since she didn’t stretch out her hands to receive it, Yan Weiye kept holding it in his hands .
After quite some time, Su Yue spoke, “I prefer the necklace that brother gave me . ”
Hearing this, Yan Weiye averted his gaze to the shimmering necklace on Su Yue’s neck . It was a diamond pendant in the shape of the sun .
He knew that Su Yan was particularly fond of the sun .
He also knew that it was his wish that their lives would be filled with more sunshine, to be brighter and more beautiful .
“I’ve let you and your brother down . ” Yan Weiye blamed himself and said, “Daddy is very happy to see your brother become so promising . ”
After that, he placed the tiara back into the box before putting it on the coffee table . “It’s late and you have school tomorrow . Better have an early night . ”
“Mm . ” Su Yue nodded and stood up, but she didn’t walk away immediately . She was looking at the pink box on the coffee table quietly .
After a while, she bent over and picked up the box before striding towards the staircase .
Yan Weiye fixated his gaze at her and heaved a heavy sigh .
Su Yue clutched the box tightly in her hands as she walked on with heavy steps . There was an indescribable feeling of mixed emotions in her .
‘You don’t have a father . You’re an illegitimate child . Your father abandoned you . Your mother is shameless…’
‘Your father abandoned you . Your mother is shameless…’
