Chapter 88

Huang Yanyan's POV:

The alarm blasted its obnoxious tune at the crack of dawn, but I was already wide awake with anticipation. Today was the day we headed to Beijing for Gramps' over-the-top birthday extravaganza. As if the old man needed to remind me - I'd been counting down the days to experience that private jet life.

The doorbell chimed and my heart skipped a beat. Right on time, Wu Haoyu strode in looking like he'd already owned the day in that crisp white button-down and slacks. My eyes shamelessly roamed his frame as Wu Ling trailed in behind him, smirking at me knowingly.
