“Yeah!” The little girl was holding the leg of Su Qianci and looking up at her with a smile. Her pair of big black eyes were shining as she asked, “Will there be a cake for Daddy’s birthday?”
Su Qianci smiled and lifted her up. “I have asked your father to bring you back a cake.”
Su Qianci’s words made the children lighten up. Li Jianyue shouted with cheers, “I want strawberry flavor!”
“What should I do? I bought chocolate flavor.” A voice came from afar. Li Sicheng walked in slowly from the outside. Compared with more than half a month ago, he looked much better. When he just came back, Li Sicheng was too thin.
Li Jianyue heard Li Sicheng’s words, and her eyes lit up. She ran towards Li Sicheng’s direction and shouted, “Dad! ” Running fast with her short legs, she ran in the direction of Li Sicheng and hugged his thigh. “Daddy hug!”
Li Sicheng was carrying a big cake with one hand and picked up the little one with his other hand. “Did you follow the tutor’s instruction today?”
“I have!”
“Daddy kiss.”
Li Jianyue reached out and hugged the face of Li Sicheng. The big kiss brought a smile on his lips. “Happy birthday to Dad!” Li Jianyue said with a smile, her arm around her father’s shoulder. She couldn’t help but glance at the cake in Li Sicheng’s hand. “Dad, can you show me the cake?”
Li Sicheng chuckled, gently knocked her forehead with his and said, “You can only have the cake after dinner.”
“Great!” Li Jianyue happily cheered, “Let’s have dinner soon!”
Li Mosen also walked up timidly and said, “Uncle, happy birthday.”
Liu Sao came out as well. “We can have dinner now. Go call your grandparents.”
“Happy Birthday!” Li Jianqian said with a little blush and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
Su Qianci went to Li Mosen, her soft hand resting on his head. She said softly, “What uncle? Call him Dad.” Li Mosen heard that and was dumbstruck. Looking up at Su Qianci, he thought he had got it wrong. Su Qianci looked at him, rubbing his dark brown hair, and said, “Call me mom in the future. Don’t call me aunt.”
Hearing that, Li Mosen immediately blushed and nodded hard. Li Mosen called with great joy, “Mom! Dad!”
“Tell your father happy birthday.” Su Qianci guided him to look in the direction of Li Sicheng.
Li Mosen turned his head and looked at Li Sicheng with excitement. His voice was loud and clear. “Dad, happy birthday!”
Li Sicheng’s eyes softened. He handed the cake to Su Qianci, bent, and hugged Li Mosen. “Thank you, son. This is the best birthday present I have received.”
Son, son! Li Mosen fell like he was in a dream, reaching out and holding Li Sicheng, laughing happily. “Dad, happy birthday!”
Li Sicheng’s smile widened. He carried the little guy toward the dining room. “Come, let’s eat!”
Li Jianqian looked at them from afar, inexplicably feeling a little uncomfortable. This was his father, not the father of Li Mosen, who was not even a child of the Li family. Why did he call him Dad before he himself did? Even he did not call his father yet…
[Thank you, son, this is the best birthday present I have received.]
Li Jianqian blushed and bowed his head to eat silently.
