The two of them had just walked out of the banquet hall when they were stopped by the butler.

"Master Lu Jue, Young Madam, Madam said that Old Master Ning is here and wants everyone to take a photo together," the butler said.

Ningzhi was slightly stunned. She nodded. Indeed, it wasn't easy for Grandpa to come here. "I understand. We'll go over now."

She looked at Lu Jue beside her. As expected, his thin lips were pursed tightly and his face was filled with disappointment. Even a few strands of his styled bangs hung down pitifully.

Ningzhi found it funny. She comforted him. "Let's go back and take a photo first. After that, we'll go see the birthday present with you."

Lu Jue's beautiful eyes darkened. "Okay."

Ningzhi brought Lu Jue back to the banquet hall. When Mother Lu saw the two of them, she quickly said, "Come, let's take a family photo."

"Okay." Ningzhi smiled and walked over.

Master Ning knew that he could take a photo with his granddaughter. He was very happy and cooperative.

Ningzhi and Lu Jue stood obediently beside the elders. She could feel Lu Jue's loneliness. She quietly moved closer to his ear and whispered, "I'm really looking forward to the birthday present you're giving me. I also want to see it soon."

Lu Jue's dark eyes lit up. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His disappointed and pitiful look was immediately appeased. "Wait a moment, Zhichi. I'll show it to you later."

Ningzhi couldn't help but laugh. He was comforting her in turn.

After taking the photo, Master Ning and Grandma Song were tired. After all, they were old. Father Lu instructed someone to send the two of them to their respective residences to rest. Mother Lu asked Ningzhi and Lu Jue if they would like to take the same car back.

Ningzhi saw the anxiety in Lu Jue's eyes and rejected him. "Lu Jue and I have something to do later."

Mother Lu was slightly stunned. She looked at her son and knew that her son wanted to celebrate Ningzhi's birthday in private.

Mother Lu's face was full of joy when she saw that the two young people had such a good relationship. "Okay, you two young people should go and celebrate. We won't hold you back."

Hearing this, Lu Jue pulled Ningzhi away.

His pace was very fast, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

Mother Lu laughed and fell into Father Lu's arms. She touched the slightly wet corners of her eyes. "Xiaojue is so good now."

He had someone he liked, and there were also people who liked him.

Father Lu hugged his wife tightly and nodded.

The car was already waiting outside. Lu Jue pulled Ningzhi into the car.

After closing the car door, Ningzhi sat next to him and asked curiously, "Where are you taking me?"

"I'm not telling you." Lu Jue straightened his back. There was a mysterious look on his handsome face.

Ningzhi didn't ask any more questions. She just waited for him to surprise her.

The car drove for a long time on the road and finally stopped at a resort near the sea.

Lu Jue held Ningzhi's hand and got out of the car. Inexplicably, her heart started to beat faster.

She let him hold her hand and walked into the hotel.

Ning Zhi was still wearing the red evening gown from the banquet, and Lu Jue was also wearing a red suit. The two of them stood together. Whether it was their clothes or their appearance, they matched each other. Along the way, they attracted the attention of many tourists in the hotel.

When they walked into the elevator, Lu Jue lifted Ningzhi's hand. He opened her palm to take a look and was a little curious. "Zhizhi, you're sweating."

Ningzhi was speechless.

When they walked out of the elevator, Ningzhi saw Lu Jue take out a room card. She didn't even know when he had booked the hotel room.

Lu Jue opened the door and pulled Ningzhi in. It was dark inside. The moment the lights were turned on, Ningzhi saw that the room was filled with red roses in full bloom. No wonder the air was filled with a sweet smell.

Ningzhi saw a small card placed on each bouquet of roses. She casually picked up one by her feet. On it was written: "Zhizhi, kiss me."

Ningzhi smiled and picked up another one: "Zhizhi, look at me."
