Chapter 1368: Revealing
surprise.
It can be said to be a huge surprise. Before she actually arrived at the restaurant, she also thought about what her father would prepare.
But the best preparation she could think of was a well-crafted, large cake with several layers, some candles on the table, flowers and balloons around it, and then everyone celebrated by singing happy birthday to her.
But unexpectedly, a beautiful and dreamlike birthday party would break into her world so abruptly.
The language of the flowers falls, the lights are turned off, and the moment the candles are lit, the lights on the background wall are also turned on immediately, and sparks of fireworks burst out from the flowers at the feet...
At that moment, Lilith really thought that she was the most beloved and omnipotent princess living in a dream...
"Lilith, do you still think it's a dream?" On the way back, Aiden patted Lilith, who was still a little unrecovered, and asked jokingly.
"Ah? What?" Lilith blinked blankly, indicating that she didn't hear it just now.
"It's nothing." With a strange smile, he turned his head to the direction of the window, and Mason and Elizabeth, who were sitting across from each other, also pursed their lips and snickered.
However, in their hearts, they were also deeply impressed by today's birthday party.
I'm afraid I will never forget in this life, the dreamy scene of flower language, candlelight, stars reflecting on the ground, and fireworks blooming.
"When will you and Aiden return to China?" On the way, Li Zitao's thoughts had already been withdrawn from the birthday party, thinking about his next itinerary.
Tomorrow morning, he will fly to Frankfurt to meet with the high-level executives of the integrated Farben Industry to discuss the next development direction, and by the way, he will also make his debut.
A string of alley-oops followed, with little downtime, and it was another busy year.
He was not very relieved to let Aiden and Lilith stay here, and besides, it was time for the two of them to start school.
From the bottom of his heart, Aiden and Lilith are the ones he worries the most among the children.
Aiden is because as his successor, Li Zitao admits that he expects and pays more attention to him than he usually shows.
In fact, Li Zitao cared about his every move, but he was too embarrassed to show it and didn't know how to express it.
Lilith is a proper rebellious girl.
On the surface, he looked jovial and cute, but in fact he was so angry that people would not pay for his life. Jiabao called him so many times, his voice was choked with sobs.
Let the two of them herd sheep in London, even if only for a few days.
Previously, it was because he was going to a prom, but now that the prom is over, Mason will continue to report to his air force, so he doesn't worry if no one is looking at him.
"Before school starts." Lilith raised a finger and said with a smile, as if this would make him agree.
"Impossible..." Li Zitao directly refused, and after thinking about it, he said, "The day after tomorrow at the latest, I want to hear the news of your boarding, and I should prepare for the start of school when I go back."
"Also, Aiden... I don't want to hear about you being drunk again." Li Zitao's stern warning gaze made him bow his head obediently.
Facing their father, the three children present may not agree with it on their lips, but they are very fearful and respectful in their hearts.
However, this fear and respect is also mixed with a strange feeling.
There will always be some regrets in life,
If he could choose again, Li Zitao would spend more time with the children's growth.
Now, he has lost the opportunity, perhaps because of this, he will put more care on Pearl, and always like to take her by his side when he is at home.
Why the old and the young are favored, because his father is different, this reason is very important.
"We still haven't been to many places, Elizabeth Tower, Westminster Abbey..." Lilith still wanted to struggle, and the happy time between her and her boyfriend was too short.
"Then watch it all at once tomorrow." Li Zitao was not discussing with her, but notifying her.
In many cases, they should be given the right and freedom to choose, but sometimes, absolute authority is also needed.
When the group returned home, Lilith got out of the car and walked towards the room without saying anything, looking sullen.
"You all go back to rest early!" Li Zitao looked at his daughter's back thoughtfully, and said to himself, 'There must be something wrong. '
What is there in London that deserves his nostalgia? Li Zitao originally guessed whether she met the boy she likes here.
Although she has been covering up, her expression management is too poor, everything is written on her face, even if she wants to pretend she didn't see it, she can't do it.
"Tia, do you know what happened to Lilith?" Ask the secretary if you have something to do, but nothing to do...
cough cough!
"Maybe I should ask the housekeeper here, do you want me to check?" Of course Tia didn't know, but she had a way to find out.
This kind of thing couldn't be easier for her. She just talked to the housekeeper and servants, found the phone company, checked her bank statement, and everything was settled.
Lilith did not live in the castle after she arrived in London, she only moved back the day before Li Zitao arrived.
The check exchange records in the bank show that she has opened a business suite at the "Hausen Hotel" not far from here, unlimited time...
"Dan, get the car out." Knowing this kind of thing, can Li Zitao still sit still?
He asked Dan to drive the car out, and immediately drove to the hotel in person. Before leaving, he specifically told no one to follow him.
Arriving at the hotel, Li Zitao parked the car at the door, looked up, but was a little hesitant.
"Boss, why don't I go up and have a look first." Dan, who was robbed of his job, sat in the co-pilot aggrieved.
"No, I'll go up in person." Opening the door and getting off the car, Li Zitao walked straight into the hotel.
Then Dan, who got out of the car, hooked his hands to the parking staff, took out a $1 tip and handed it to the parking staff, leaning against the window and lighting a cigarette.
He didn't relax his vigilance and take a break from his busy schedule, but he used the action of blowing out smoke to cover his sight and quickly make judgments about the surrounding environment and situation.
In front of the door of Room 1122, Li Zitao stood still and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Now that they have all reached the door, he will not have any hesitation, but wants to see who lives inside.
"Hi, baby..." The door opened, and a handsome boy with a scruffy beard and a hint of sternness and melancholy came up to him with a smile.
But when he saw who the person was at the door, his expression immediately became awkward, and he wiped his hands and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
"Before answering this question, I want to know, who are you?" Li Zitao put his hand on his shoulder, and led him into the room very 'gently'.
At the last moment when the door was closed, all I could hear was 'oh shit, it's about to break...'
