Mr. Liang was stunned for a moment before saying warily, âOh, so?â
Liang Xun said leisurely, âWhat gift is Dad going to give me?â
âPfftâ¦â Mr. Liang spat on the other end. âLiang Xun, youâre really getting more and more shameless. You even asked others for gifts yourself?â
Liang Xun did not think that there was anything wrong with his actions. âYouâre not anyone else. Youâre my father.â
Mr. Liang choked again and felt a little regretful. When Liang Xun was young, in order to train Liang Xun to take over as soon as possible, he brought Liang Xun to various banquets and let him learn how to negotiate and find loopholes in othersâ words.
Now, he had nurtured his son into a smart person. He could not win against his son at all.
âWhat do you want?â One could hear how aggrieved Mr. Liangâs tone was even through the phone.
âHelp me work at the company for a few months,â Liang Xun said very naturally, as if he did not think that his request was too much.
Mr. Liang was so angry that he couldnât speak. He calmed down for a long time before saying angrily, âBrat, it wasnât easy for me to retire and I can accompany your mom for a few years. Do you still want me to go back to work?â
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows. âOh, you donât agree? Forget it, 1â11 tell Mom.â
Mr. Liang snorted and said proudly, âStop dreaming. Do you think your Mom will listen to you? Her heart aches for me the most. She definitely canât bear toâ¦â
Mr. Liangâs voice stopped because Liang Xun had hung up.
Mr. Liang was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Liang Xun called Sun Jia again while Jing Yao was dumbfounded.
Sun Jia was much more reliable than Mr. Liang. She picked up the call and said, âYo, Son. Happy birthday.â
âThank you, Mom.â Liang Xun thanked her with a smile.
Sun Jia continued, âItâs such a cold day, so we wonât go over. Son, is there anything you want?â
Liang Xun pondered for a moment and said, âThere really is. 1 hope Daddy can go to the company for me for a few months. Yaoyao canât leave anyone in her current condition. Iâm worried about leaving her alone at home.â
Sun Jia didnât hesitate and said directly, âAlright, youâre right. You have to pay more attention when the due date is getting close. Also, you have to be careful usually. Donât be rough. Think about your bull-like strength at any time.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liang Xun was speechless. âMom, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up. Remember to tell Dad to go to the company tomorrow. 1â11 go tomorrow too and tell him about the few big projects in progress.â
Hearing Sun Jiaâs agreement, Liang Xun hung up and smiled at Jing Yao. âI can stay at home with Yaoyao this time.â
Jing Yao opened her mouth slightly and said after a while, âI hope Baby doesnât have a personality like you.â
Liang Xunâs expression froze and he said in an aggrieved tone, âYaoyao, why do you say that? Is my personality very bad?â
Jing Yao nodded at first, then shook her head. âIâm fine most of the time. Itâs just that youâre too scheming occasionally.â
Liang Xun was caught between laughter and tears. âI did this to accompany Baby.â
Jing Yao was almost desensitized to the term âbabyâ. She snorted. âDonât push the blame to me. I wonât take the blame.â
Because it was Liang Xuâs birthday, Jing Yao didnât let him into the kitchen. Auntie Li made all three meals, and Auntie Li even made a cake herself.
Jing Yao helped to set up the fruits. After dinner, Auntie Li even smiled and pushed all the credit to Jing Yao. âYaoyao made this cake herself.â
Jing Yao blushed and hurriedly waved her hand. âNo, Auntie Li made it. I just helped to set up the fruits.â
Liang Xun thanked Auntie Li and looked at Jing Yao deeply.
Seeing this, Auntie Li hurriedly found an excuse to return to her room.
Jing Yao lit the candle and got up to turn off the light.
Liang Xun pulled her back. âThereâs no need to turn off the lights. Itâs dark in winter. Itâs not safe to turn off the lights. Letâs leave it at that. This is good too.â
Jing Yao nodded and said to Liang Xun, âThen close your eyes and make a wish.â
Liang Xun opened his mouth to refuse, but he closed his eyes when he saw Jing Yaoâs bright and expectant eyes.
He was quite pious when it came to making wishes. If his birthday wish was really that effective, he hoped that his precious Yaoyao could be safe and healthy for the rest of her life. He also hoped that they could be together for the rest of their lives.
The light from the candle shone on Liang Xunâs handsome face. The warm yellow light made him look gentle and beautiful.
Jing Yao lifted the tablecloth and confirmed that the gift she had prepared in advance was still under the table. Then, she looked at Liang Xun without blinking, her heart beating non-stop..
