(Wang Yibo's birthday plan flashbacks)
When Wang Yibo headed to retrieve the old album, Zhuocheng gathered everyone at the center, "Listen up, everyone. I've got a plan to throw a surprise birthday bash for da ge." All nod in agreement, ready to play their parts. "Firstly, we need to act as cold as da ge. Ignore him if possible." Zhuocheng began explaining. "IGNO-?!" Ji Li nearly shouted, stunned by the idea of ignoring the formidable Wang godfather. Zhuocheng quickly hushed him, "Shhh! Lower your voice, Liliana. What if da ge hears you?" Ji Li, scratching his head, sheepishly murmured, "Sorry." Zhuocheng proceeded, "Next, considering da ge seems to have a soft spot for little Zhan, you might need to put on a bit of a show..." He gestured towards Xiao Zhan, who blinked innocently, "M-me?" "Indeed, my little friend. Don't worry, just a small performance." assured Zhuocheng.

However, Ji Li, being his usual disruptive self, chimed in with his so-called comedic wisdom, "As your charming and benevolent Li-ge, I'll impart the secrets of acting." Xiao Zhan stared at Ji Li, perplexed, while Zhuocheng retorted, "Enough, Liliana. You're hardly a master of thespian arts." Ji Li rolled his eyes, retorting, "Listen well, dear Chengcheng, never doubt the prowess of my acting skills." He concluded with a dramatic hair flip. "Your nonsense is not bad, Liliana." Zhuocheng teased. "You-!" Before Ji Li could finish, Zanjin intervened, "Enough of the bickering. Shouldn't we proceed with Godfather Wang's birthday surprise plan?" "It's Chengcheng's fault, er ge!" Ji Li accused. "No, it's Liliana's fault." Zhuocheng countered. "Alright, alright, no more blaming each other. Let's focus on the plan." Zanjin urged. "Anyways, decorations will be my responsibility." Haikuan informed.

The plan progresses smoothly, they successfully ignored Wang Yibo during lunch and dinner. Xiao Zhan almost forgot that he shouldn't go to Yibo's room tonight and headed straight to Zanjin's room. "Hey, Zhanzhan." Zanjin greeted with a smile. Seeing Zhan's sad face, he asked, "What's wrong?" Zanjin walked over and hugged the little guy. "I feel bad for Yibo-ge. Wondering that maybe he is bored alone in the room." Zhan's compassionate heart didn't go unnoticed by Zanjin. He reassured Zhan, "It's normal for Godfather Wang to be alone. I believe he won't feel that lonely." Xiao Zhan nodded as they patiently waited for the midnight surprise plan. As midnight approached, Zhuocheng instructed, "Now!" Ji Li turned off all the electricity in the Wang mansion, plunging it into darkness. Zanjin spotted Wang Yibo and whispered, "Godfather Wang is here!"
