"Hello?"
"It's done."
"Make sure everything is settled. Don't make any mistake."
"Absolutely!"
Allen Lin hung up the phone.
"Are you busy?" After knowing that Allen Lin was about to go to work, Maria Zhao was in a good mood. When she heard that Allen Lin was calling, she only felt that Allen Lin was working.
"Nothing. Let's eat first." After saying that, Allen Lin and Maria Zhao sat down in their seats.
After ordering, she began to wait.
Not long after, Maria Zhao saw a girl holding a large bouquet of roses and a person playing the violin at a table not far away.
French romance was incisively and vividly reflected in this French restaurant.
But
Maria Zhao glanced at Allen Lin. She was happy, but there was a trace of loss in her eyes.
She wasn't sure if Allen Lin still remembered it. Judging from the expression on Allen Lin's face, it seemed that she had forgotten it.
Today was the 1st anniversary of their wedding, and also the birthday of Maria Zhao.
But Allen Lin didn't seem to mention it.
Forget it. Today's dinner, together with the news that Allen Lin had begun to work, and the arrival of the office, could be regarded as the birthday and the anniversary.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz.
Maria Zhao's phone vibrated. Maria Zhao took a look and found it was from Bill Tao.
Subconsciously, she wanted to hang up. It could be seen that Allen Lin was looking at the other side. Without paying attention, she decided to answer the phone and tell Bill Tao not to call.
Otherwise, Bill Tao would call her again.
"Hello," said Maria Zhao.
"Happy birthday, Maria. I've booked a table at a Japanese restaurant today. I'll pick you up in your office later. Let's go to celebrate your birthday," Bill Tao said.
"No, thank you. I have something else to do today," said Maria Zhao.
Bill Tao wanted to say something more, but Maria Zhao hung up the phone.
Maria Zhao sighed helplessly. Bill Tao was so hospitable that he still remembered her birthday, but Allen Lin even forgot it.
She forgot her birthday and wedding anniversary
The more Maria Zhao thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
The dishes were served.
However, at the beginning of the meal, a girl who was playing the violin came over, bowed to the two, and then began to play the violin without saying anything.
A girl with a large bouquet of roses came over with flowers and handed them directly to Maria Zhao.
Maria Zhao was stunned. She looked around subconsciously and found that there were no familiar faces around. If she had to say that she was an acquaintance, then only Allen Lin would be there
At this moment, Allen Lin was looking at her with a smile.
It was the first time that he had given her such a big bunch of roses since they got married.
It was the first time that he had taken her to such a restaurant after their marriage.
It was the first time that their marriage gave her such a big surprise when she was unprepared.
"Maria, get married for a year. Today is not only your wedding anniversary, but also your birthday."
Allen Lin stood up and knelt on one knee.
At this time, the waiter put a box in the hand of Allen Lin.
Allen Lin opened the box and saw a pair of rings inside.
It was just an ordinary platinum ring without diamonds on it.
But even so, in Maria Zhao's eyes, it was enough.
"It will be better today next year." Allen Lin took the ring and put it on Maria Zhao's finger.
Maria Zhao suddenly felt guilty.
It had been a long time since she wore the wedding ring with Allen Lin. Allen Lin had been wearing it all the time, but Maria Zhao had taken it off. She hadn't worn it herself until today.
Perhaps Allen Lin didn't complain in her heart, but Maria Zhao felt sorry for Allen Lin.
"Let me put it on for you," said Allen Lin, putting the ring on Maria Zhao's finger.
Maria Zhao looked at the ring and hugged Allen Lin.
A few drops of tears fell down, not because she was sad, but because she was deeply moved.
"Wish you two a happy meal."
The waiters withdrew. Maria Zhao separated from Allen Lin and returned to their seats.
Maria Zhao gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and took a look at Allen Lin with resentment. "I really can't let you have money. You've just received a month's salary in advance. Did you spend it directly?"
Allen Lin smiled and didn't explain.
"I don't have much money. On the contrary, I'm good at flirting with girls. Who did you learn this from?" Maria Zhao asked.
"I don't know how to flirt with women. I just want to make you happy," said Allen Lin in a calm voice.
Maria Zhao had meant to say Allen Lin was glib, but she couldn't continue.
"By the way, the one who called you just now is Bill Tao?" Allen Lin suddenly asked.
Maria Zhao was stunned and nodded.
"He cares so much about you. If I don't work harder, my wife will be snatched away," said Allen Lin. Seeing the guilty look on Maria Zhao's face, she knew that her mother-in-law's alienation plan was in vain.
