Chapter 1386: Yanluo’s Thirtieth Birthday

Unlike Yan Aohan, Zhu Yanyi had always preferred light flavors since childhood. Of course, "light" did not mean she avoided meat entirely; she still ate it. However, among meats, she favored fish, especially sweet and sour fish.

"Mmm, I’m eating. You eat too," Zhu Yanyi said, taking a bite of fish and immediately serving another piece to Yan Aohan.

They ate slowly. The act of serving each other made the atmosphere particularly warm. Seeing that the time was right, Zhu Yanyi specially went to prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for Yan Aohan.

The noodles were handmade by Zhu Yanyi herself. She had started preparing them two days ago, using high-quality germ wheat flour that naturally carried a faint, sweet aroma. The broth was specially simmered by Zhu Yanyi using dozens of types of mushrooms, including rare seasonal varieties like Yanlai mushrooms and matsutake. She had also added a small piece of lingzhi mushroom. In short, the broth itself was highly nutritious.

Yan Aohan finished the longevity noodles in one go and sighed, "I’m really happy with this birthday."

For thirty years, he had never celebrated his birthday. He mainly wanted to avoid being targeted by others’ schemes, and he lacked the mood for celebrations. So, for thirty years, he would occasionally just eat a bowl of noodles by himself and call it a day.

Since meeting Zhu Yanyi, every year brought surprises. Even if they didn’t formally celebrate, Zhu Yanyi never forgot to give her a birthday gift.

"Happy with just this? Wait until later; I have a big gift for you," Zhu Yanyi said with a mysterious smile.

"What gift?" The mention of a "gift" had started a month ago. No matter how much Yan Aohan tried to find out, Zhu Yanyi would only smile and stay silent. Today was his birthday, so he could finally know.

"You’ll know later. Hurry up and finish eating. After dinner, I’ll take you for a walk, then we’ll bathe, and only then will I give you the gift," Zhu Yanyi said cheerfully, her face full of mystery. This made Yan Aohan itch with curiosity, but unfortunately, Zhu Yanyi kept her lips sealed tight, and no information escaped.

"Can’t you give it to me now? It’s my birthday today," Yan Aohan said, deliberately acting coquettish.

"I said later, so it’s later. Don’t say anything else. Even if you do, I won’t give it to you now," Zhu Yanyi said, raising her eyebrows with a smile.

"Fine," Yan Aohan had to suppress his curiosity. For some reason, he felt this gift would be thrilling. But since it was Zhu Yanyi’s intention, even though he was extremely curious, he held back.

After dinner, Yan Aohan helped Zhu Yanyi clean up, and then the two went out for a walk. They didn’t go far; they just walked two laps around the residential compound.

Perhaps because Yan Aohan owned many houses in this compound, it was very quiet. After walking for about an hour, they returned home and went to their respective rooms to bathe and get ready.

Zhu Yanyi began to prepare the final gift.

Yes, the final gift was actually Zhu Yanyi herself. She planned to give herself to Yan Aohan tonight.

She was thirty years old. Although she had one month left before turning eighteen, nourished by the Spirit Spring and Medicine Spring in the Ruyi Space, along with daily conditioning, her body had reached its optimal state. Giving herself at this time would cause her no harm. She had thought about this long ago.

She knew Yan Aohan was enduring great hardship, and she couldn’t bear to see him suffer.

Zhu Yanyi admitted she was also a fool. Since she had set her heart on Yan Aohan, what difference did it make whether she gave herself early or late?

If anyone knew her thoughts, they might think she was undignified or silly. But she didn’t think so. Love is love. In the realm of love, there is no such thing as being silly. In fact, everyone who falls in love is a fool.

Wasn’t Yan Aohan a fool too? In this realm, Yan Aohan was equally a fool. From the moment he set his heart on Zhu Yanyi, he had been waiting. Didn’t he know that men also have their prime years?

She was thirty now. In five years, she would be thirty-five. Some might say that is a man’s prime. After all, men in their forties or fifties still marry eighteen-year-old girls.

But that situation was different.

When a man in her forties or fifties matches with an eighteen-year-old girl, there might be love between them, but it is more likely to be about interests. she covets her beauty, and she covets her wealth.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan were clearly not like that. She didn’t want to reach that point either. Of course, necessary preparations had to be made. She had promised Zhu Shun Yao that she would not have children before the age of twenty-five, a point Zhu Yanyi agreed to. Moreover, she would be very busy in the coming days, so the matter of children would not be considered for now. Therefore, she had long made her preparations.

Zhu Yanyi changed into her pajamas. The material was a hazy gauze, not very transparent, but it added a certain charm to her.

She picked up a bottle of potion from the side. Protective measures had to be taken in advance, so she quietly took it. Then she walked out of the bathroom.

At that moment, Yan Aohan happened to open the door and enter. He came out of the bathroom.

By the light, Yan Aohan looked at her attire, and a strange feeling ignited in his heart. He turned around, wanting to leave.

"If you leave, I’ll never talk to you again," Zhu Yanyi said. She walked over and hugged her broad waist from behind.

"I know you cherish me and don’t want to wrong me before I reach the proper age. But I am a doctor myself. I know how to condition my body. Since I was fifteen and my period started, after confirming your feelings, I began conditioning myself. All for today."

"Ani, I can endure it," she said, her back pressed against her soft skin. she felt like she was burning up.

"What endurance? Are you even a man? I’ve prepared myself. Do you dare to refuse this birthday gift?" Zhu Yanyi spoke directly. She didn’t want to beat around the bush.

As soon as these words fell, Yan Aohan turned around sharply and hugged Zhu Yanyi tightly. "Are you sure? Are you sure you want to test if I’m a man?"

She felt her whole body starting to burn. She was barely holding back now.

"I put a lot of yang-boosting herbs in the longevity noodles I made for you today. Are you sure you don’t want me? If so, I’ll go find another man tomorrow," she said. Persuasion is less effective than provocation.

"Don’t even think about it," Yan Aohan said. With these three words, he no longer hid his needs. With a tear, he ripped Zhu Yanyi’s pajamas into two halves. Then he picked her up horizontally, carried her directly to his bed, laid her down, and pressed himself on top of her. "Let me confirm one more time. Are you sure you want to give me this gift?"

"If you’re not a man, you won’t accept it," Zhu Yanyi said, her face red, replying directly.

"Ani, I will let you know if I am a man or not." she had given her the chance to withdraw, but she had refused. So, she would never let her go again.
