<h4>Chapter 385 - What Is The n?</h4>


    Soo Ei watched the two of them very carefully.


    Hint number 1 - They stood in a very odd and awkward position.


    Hint number 2 - Zizi''s cheeks were red.


    Hint number 3 - Yunru had a guilty expression.


    He put three and three together and brightened. He was shining so brightly that Yunru had to cover his eyes with the re.


    "Oh! I am such a fool! Please continue, you two. However, I will still advise that doing it in the kitchen will be hard for Zizi."


    "..."


    "..."


    "Dad! You have lost it!"


    "Shut up! Don''t try to hide it! You two were definitely up to no good. Not that I mind. I am just telling you to be careful. Is dropping flour on the floor a sort of ritual for you to get things going?"


    Zizi blushed hard.


    Yunru wanted to break all of his rtions with his father right now. "Dad, please leave. Dinner is not done yet," he pressed his brows.


    "It''s alright. Some things are more important than food. You shouldn''tpromise on romance."


    His brow twitched. Zizi blushed even more.


    Soo Ei saw her condition and immediately red at him. "What is this? Why is she all dabbed in flour?"


    Yunru coughed. "It was an ident."


    He narrowed his eyes. "I don''t think so. Don''t bully my daughter-inw, okay? Or I will kick you out of his house!"


    He rolled his eyes.


    They settled on the dining table, but before beginning to eat, Soo Ei said, "Wait! Let''s celebrate first. This is Zizi''s first day in our house. I have brought some cake."


    Zizi gleamed. "Cake!"


    "Yes," Soo Ei pursed his lips. "I am sorry. I really wanted to cook dinner for you and give you a grand wee feast. But I am hopeless. At least, I could bring some cake."


    Her eyes watered. "Thank you, Dad. You are really the best," she sniffled.


    "Haha. Anything for you, dear. Just don''t say in front of Han Tian. I don''t want him to get jealous andpete with me," he harrumphed.


    Zizi chuckled.


    They cut the cake first, and Zizi offered the first bite to Soo Ei.


    "Haha, eat it with Yunru first."


    Zizi frowned. "No! Yunrues second. First will be Dad!"


    Soo Ei felt proud and really joyous.


    "Yunru, don''t be jealous, okay?" He had a silly smile on his face. "Daughters always choose their fathers first."


    Yunru smiled. "I will try hard not to."


    The dinner then continued, and throughout the entire time, Zizi only sang Yunru''s praises of how an awesome cook he was.


    "You are a super cop and a super chef too!"


    Soo Ei grumbled with theck of her attention. "It''s alright, I guess."


    "Have a big heart, Dad."


    "You!"


    Yunru shook his head and ruffled Zizi''s head. "Thanks. It''s all because of sis actually. She taught me most of the things. Anyway, I will put the tes back."


    "I will help you. You already did all the cooking," she coughed.


    "No. Just rx with Dad here and watch some TV if you want. I will do it."


    "Yes, yes," Soo Ei nodded. "Let him do it."


    When Yunru was out of sight, Soo Ei eagerly grabbed Zizi''s hand and took her to sit on the couch. "So, so! What''s the n?"


    Zizi blinked her eyes. "n for what?"


    "Yunru''s birthday, of course! And of course, that will be Xinyi''s birthday too."


    Zizi widened her eyes.


    "I-It''s their birthday?"


    Untilst year, she hadn''t met Yunru and she never really celebrated Xinyi''s birthday with her because of their sour rtionship. So their birthdays weren''t something she took an effort to remember.


    "Yes! It''s in a week," Soo Ei was all excited. "Haha, even if they are grown up, I still get hyper like a child. Since you are here too now, we can have a super celebration."


    Zizi was stunned but then felt extremely guilty. She imed that she loved Yunru so much, yet she didn''t even know about such an important date.


    "I am sorry Dad…" she had an urge to cry, "I didn''t know about their birthday. I know it''s strange but-"


    Soo Ei shook his head. "You don''t have to apologize, dear. I know how things were untilst year. But this year, it''s different. So, I thought you might want to do something for him."


    "Of course, I do!" Then she quickly lowered her voice. "I want to n a grand surprise for Yunru! How can I miss such an important event?" Her eyes sparkled.


    Soo Ei was also infected by her enthusiasm. "Yes! It''s a great chance for you two to grow closer. Do you have anything in mind?"


    Zizi gave it a thought, and her shoulders slumped. "I cannot really think of anything... Since this will be his first birthday with me, I want to make it extra special. But I don''t want to just end it with a gift."


    "Don''t worry. Let''s figure something out together."


    So they racked their brains together, but nobody got a great sh of inspiration.


    Zizi''s mood just got worse.


    If it was a grand surprise, then she would need some time to make the preparations, and only seven days were left. If she didn''t think about anything soon, then she would just waste the days.


    Soo Ei smiled. "We still have time. And I know Yunru. He will be happy and pleased with what you will do for him."


    "I know. But I don''t want to do just anything. I really want to make it memorable for him. But what would be perfect for him…?"


    By then, Yunru was already finished. When he came back to the living room, he saw his fiance and father in a depressed mood.


    "Has somebody died?" Yunru''s mouth twitched. "Why such long faces?"


    They stiffened.


    "Nothing!" Zizi said, "I was feeling bad for causing trouble on my first day."


    Soo Ei hastily nodded.


    "Ah," Yunru chuckled. "Forget about it already. I appreciate your sentiments. Feelings are more important."


    "En."


    "Anyway. You must be tired by now. Why don''t you head for an early sleep?"


    She blushed. "Can we share a-"


    "No."


    "..."


    "Meanie! You didn''t even let meplete it!"


    "I don''t need you to. If we will be together, you will just be busy staring at me, and I want you to rest."


    "Hmph! I am not tired!"


    "I don''t think your body would agree to that. So noints. Anyway, I have some work to do rted to a case."


    "Oh."


    But then it suddenly struck her!


    Ah, ah ah! I got it! I know what to do for his birthday now!
