He pressed the key fob. The magnificent headlights, dazzling as two pillars of light, pierced through the dark gray cloth cover. It was as if a wild beast had opened its eyes to look down upon the world. In the silent, dark underground garage, its presence was overwhelmingly imposing.

The moment Chen Yuan saw the key fob, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.

When someone is in a state of extreme shock, they often don’t have many words to express how they feel.

But his gasp alone was enough to reveal just how shocked Chen Yuan was to receive such a birthday gift.

He, of course, recognized the brand on the key fob, which only made his feelings more complicated.

People often say you can’t measure a gift’s value in money. That’s, of course, a tactful sentiment meant to make both the giver and receiver comfortable. However, the more expensive a gift is, the more it signifies that the receiver’s place in the giver’s heart is worth far more than the gift itself.

Any guy would be stunned to receive a gift like this, let alone Chen Yuan, who came from a small county in the north.

He never would have dreamed that the two sisters were planning to give him a luxury car.

"Why haven’t you uncovered it yet? Stop just stroking the cloth," Jiangg Yao urged, her hands on her hips.

"Why would you give me something so expensive...? You didn’t have to. This is too extravagant. It’s not right for me to accept it..."

After the initial wave of surprise faded, Chen Yuan’s first reaction was actually guilt. He hesitated, rooted to the spot, unwilling to reach out, his expression complicated as he looked at the two sisters.

"What do you mean, ’why’?!"

Unexpectedly, the first to speak was Jiangg Ning. She crossed her arms and said with a cool and collected expression, "You’re my boyfriend. I’ve already decided I’m going to marry you, so it’s only right for me to spend however much I want on my own boyfriend. Don’t bring this up again."

"Wow~" Yaoyao laughed, chiming in playfully, "So domineering, sis! But what she said goes for me too. Young Master, me too!"

"You... you two."

Their words faded, and silence returned. The guilt in Chen Yuan’s heart only became more unspeakable.

From the flickering in his eyes, it wasn’t hard to see that he was silently vowing to never let the two sisters down.

With two such wives, what more could a husband ask for?

This phrase perfectly described how Chen Yuan felt at that moment.

"Okay, I’m uncovering it now..."

He reached out, his hand gently stroking the front of the Porsche Panamera. Grabbing a corner, he pulled down hard. The cloth cover slid off like a sheet of cascading water, and the "Black Samurai" paint finish instantly rippled, reflecting the lights before it.

The immaculate surface, the stunningly beautiful design—every detail reeked of money. It was the aesthetic beauty of modern engineering, the fruit of the designer’s painstaking labor.

"Holy crap!" Chen Yuan exclaimed as he circled the car, looking it over and over.

Seeing him like this, the two sisters just smiled, pressing their lips together. It seemed that seeing him so happy made them even happier than he was.

After looking over the entire exterior, Chen Yuan’s satisfaction was, of course, beyond words. A moment later, he pulled the two sisters into the car with him, and they all sat inside.

"How much did this cost? Tell me the truth, no lying," he asked, turning his head.

"Not much."

"How much is ’not much’?"

"Uhh..." The two sisters glanced at each other.

"Well, what’s a price you think you could handle?"

"So you two are just going to tell me a price you think I’ll find acceptable...? No matter what, I’m going to think it’s expensive."

"Alright, it actually cost this much..."

Jiangg Ning held up both hands. One finger on her left hand, and four on her right.

Before Chen Yuan could blurt anything out,

Yaoyao also held up four fingers.

He shuddered, swallowing hard before asking with difficulty, "Don’t tell me this car cost one million, four hundred and forty thousand..."

"That’s the number... Come on, we’ve already bought it, so don’t worry about the price, Young Master. My sister and I have money."

"Mhm, your happiness is what’s most important to us. Now that you’re an adult, you should have your own car. This is a toy that’s all yours," Jiangg Ning said with a faint smile. "You can go get it registered tomorrow."

A toy that was all his...

Those words echoed in Chen Yuan’s ears. He looked at the smiling faces of the two sisters, and his heart was overwhelmed with emotion.

In their relationship, he had never really given much of anything. Ningning and Yaoyao had never forced him to, either. Instead, they were always the ones trying to make him feel the happiness of being loved.

Because of this, he had been influenced by them, little by little.

Conventional notions are, in the end, just shackles. But people are free. Born into this world, everyone has the right to choose how to live their life. He had fallen in love with two women and married them; it didn’t interfere with anyone’s life, nor did it harm society in any way.

People have hearts.

Anyone with a heart would be moved by their devotion. To abandon them, in turn, would cause him a lifetime of pain, and he would never be able to forgive himself.

Compared to true happiness, everything else seemed insignificant.

「In the deep of the night.」

At the sisters’ urging, Chen Yuan drove his nineteenth birthday present through the streets. He opened the window, feeling the cold wind. No birthday had ever felt more meaningful, and the breeze on his cheeks kept his mind clear.

’There are no illusions in the real world.’

The faint light inside the dim car illuminated the two sisters’ delicate faces.

Soothing music flowed softly through the atmosphere of laughter and conversation.

「In the blink of an eye.」

Unknowingly, the three of them had spent countless days and nights like this together. Perhaps none of them had realized that the most formidable power is habit.

...

"Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~~~"

At eleven o’clock at night.

The door across the hall opened, and all the light strips on the walls lit up at once, illuminating the entire living room like a prince’s palace. Streamers and balloons crowded around Chen Yuan’s feet. The room’s decorations were filled with the kind of exquisite, fairytale feeling that girls love.

Jiangg Ning held Chen Yuan’s hand tightly, their fingers intertwined.

The one singing the sweet melody was Yaoyao, who was walking out from a side bedroom holding a cake. She hummed softly, her eyes shimmering with light, a smile playing on her lips as she approached Chen Yuan.

The lit candles cast a red glow on Chen Yuan’s face.

He, who had always been a typical, unemotional guy, actually felt his eyes sting in a moment like this.

"I’m with you for your birthday today, and I hope I can be with you for every single one after this, always and forever by your side, Young Master... Yaoyao wishes that you’ll grow more and more handsome, and happier and happier."

"Alright, it’s time to blow out the candles," Jiangg Ning said softly from the side.

"Let’s blow them out together."

"Don’t forget to make a wish."

Chen Yuan nodded. He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

’My wish is... to marry both Ningning and Yaoyao,’ he wished silently.
