"Yu Yan, I told you I prepared three birthday gifts for you tonight. Aren't you curious what I prepared?"
Amidst the romantic and ambiguous atmosphere, Wang Yu Yan's face grew redder. Shen Lang broke the silence and said.
"Yes, husband, what gifts did you prepare for me?"
Mentioning gifts, Wang Yu Yan was very excited and said.
Shen Lang had said he would give her three gifts tonight, to make her birthday unforgettable.
The first gift Shen Lang had already given, which was the three billion he won from Wan Wan.
The first gift was so substantial, Wang Yu Yan was very curious about what Shen Lang would give her next.
Wang Yu Yan was not a materialistic person, because she didn't need to be.
Although the Wang family was not a prominent clan, they were still a wealthy family.
As the eldest daughter of the Wang family, Wang Yu Yan had lived a life of luxury since childhood, enjoying the best of everything, raised like a princess.
Wang Yu Yan did not care much about gifts, but the gifts from Shen Lang were different, after all, he was the first man she had ever loved, and possibly her future husband.
"Slowly close your eyes. When I tell you to open them, then open them," Shen Lang said with a smile, looking at Wang Yu Yan.
"Okay—" Hearing Shen Lang, Wang Yu Yan closed her eyes, then with an expectant expression, she asked, "Husband, can I open my eyes now?"
Wang Yu Yan was eager to know what the second gift Shen Lang had prepared, so she was very excited.
"You can. Open your eyes now." Hearing Wang Yu Yan, Shen Lang smiled and said.
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yu Yan immediately opened her eyes. She saw Shen Lang holding a transparent glass bottle in his hand, inside which was a snow-white pill.
"Husband, what is this?" Looking at the pill in the glass bottle, Wang Yu Yan was slightly disappointed, as it was not what she had expected.
"Have you heard of Sun Simiao?" Shen Lang noticed the disappointment on Wang Yu Yan's face but didn't pay it much attention, smiling as he spoke.
"Of course, but what does that have to do with this pill?" Wang Yu Yan asked curiously.
"Of course, it's related," Shen Lang said. "Sun Simiao was known as the King of Medicine. He was obsessed with alchemy throughout his life, and his most famous creations were the Taiji Three Elixirs. This one you see before you is the 'Beauty Preservation Elixir' from the Taiji Three Elixirs, which I refined according to his formula."
"After taking this elixir, men can maintain their vigor for ten years without decline, and their innate energy will not be depleted. Women can preserve their beauty, their appearance will not change for twenty years, their bodily functions will remain unimpaired, diseases will be cured, and their innate constitution will be greatly replenished."
Saying this, Shen Lang gently pinched Wang Yu Yan's delicate chin and smiled, "A peerless beauty like Yu Yan should remain so forever."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yu Yan was shocked. She couldn't believe such a medicine existed in the world.
However, Wang Yu Yan had witnessed Shen Lang's medical skills and knew that if he said so, it must be true.
This medicine was absolutely worth as much as the "Spring Returns to the Earth" that Gu Qing Han had. Instantly, Wang Yu Yan's eyes sparkled.
What girl didn't want to remain beautiful forever? Especially a peerless beauty like Wang Yu Yan, who greatly valued her appearance. The thought of growing old and becoming an ugly hag was something she could not bear.
Although this elixir couldn't keep her from aging forever, it could keep her appearance and bodily functions unchanged for twenty years. This meant that after twenty years, at the age of thirty-eight, she would still look eighteen and have the body of an eighteen-year-old.
In other words, the eighteen-year-old Wang Yu Yan would still be the eighteen-year-old Wang Yu Yan twenty years later. How could this not make Wang Yu Yan excited? How could this not shock Wang Yu Yan?
"Husband, thank you. This is my favorite gift." After taking the bottle, Wang Yu Yan's face bloomed with a smile.
"As long as you are happy," Seeing Wang Yu Yan's happy smile, Shen Lang smiled from the bottom of his heart. "Seeing you this happy is what I truly want."
"Husband, marry me." Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yu Yan said with firm eyes, "We not only have an engagement, but we also have an unbreakable bond. I want to marry you."
"Yu Yan, I really want to marry you, but you need to give me some time," Shen Lang said. "Let me think about it. I will eventually give you a satisfactory answer."
"Okay—" Hearing this, Wang Yu Yan smiled. "Whether you believe it or not, the person you will eventually marry will be me. We are destined to walk through life together."
Saying this, Wang Yu Yan changed the subject and asked, "Husband, what is the third gift you prepared for me?"
She already had money and beauty; Wang Yu Yan was very curious about Shen Lang's third gift.
Hearing Wang Yu Yan's question, Shen Lang smiled. "Do you know why no one is playing the piano tonight?"
After speaking, Shen Lang didn't wait for Wang Yu Yan to reply. He stood up, walked to the piano, and slowly sat down, then began to play the keys.
Soon, the piano music echoed through the hall.
"Now, the orioles are in flight, the beloved is on the way. I know he is journeying through wind and rain, passing through dusk without appreciation, crossing the sea of people, just to embrace you. Now, the bright moon is high in the sky. The beloved holds starlight in his hands. I know he has ventured into darkness through wind and waves..."
Shen Lang's fingers danced on the piano keys like elves, and beautiful notes reached Wang Yu Yan's ears.
At this moment, Wang Yu Yan's eyes were only on Shen Lang.
And at this moment, and even in every moment to come, Wang Yu Yan's heart belonged only to Shen Lang.
This was Wang Yu Yan's eighteenth birthday, and Shen Lang had given her three gifts.
Wang Yu Yan knew that many years later, she would still remember everything that happened today with vivid clarity.
On this day, she confirmed that Shen Lang was the only person she could ever love.
And on this day, the fate between Wang Yu Yan and Shen Lang became an unbreakable bond.
Two minutes later, as Shen Lang's hands stopped playing, Wang Yu Yan stood up, ran to Shen Lang, and hugged him tightly. "Shen Lang, besides my grandfather, no one has ever been so good to me in my life. In this life, I only choose you, and no one else."
"If you marry me, I will be your lawfully wedded wife. If you marry someone else, I will be your mistress, even if I remain nameless forever."
Saying this, Wang Yu Yan raised her head and asked Shen Lang, "Can you kiss me?"
Hearing Wang Yu Yan's words, Shen Lang was extremely shocked. He never expected Wang Yu Yan to say such things.
The next second, Shen Lang kissed Wang Yu Yan's lips uncontrollably.
