Chapter 691: Birthday Present
Translator: 549690339
Chu Zhiyuan, followed by Chu Liyuan, had already arrived at the couple’s bedroom door…
He hesitated for a long time without knocking on the door until Chu Liyuan, lacking patience, raised his hand and knocked.
Grandpa looked up at Chu Liyuan, “What are you doing? I’m not ready yet!” “Hurry up!” Chu Liyuan had already lost his patience.
Originally, during dinner today, Chu Liyuan had a very important matter he wanted to discuss with Jian Jian, but it was disrupted, so how could he be in a good mood?
After arriving at the old house, to find it was merely a trivial issue between the two of them.
As they spoke, the door was opened by Jian Jian herself.
Mo Qingqin was still sitting on the bed, her gaze not directed toward the door.
Jian Dan looked at her uncle, and only after seeing him nod did she feel relieved.
Jian Dan knew Granny’s personality well: despite her age, a little princess still resides within her heart, so as long as Grandpa is willing to soften and coax Granny properly, she would certainly forgive Grandpa.
Chu Zhiyuan moved hesitantly towards Mo Qingqin…
Seeing Grandpa’s awkward demeanor, a smile curled up on Jian Dan’s face. “Uncle, I should leave first, right? It doesn’t seem appropriate for us to be here at this moment!” Jian Dan, covering her mouth with her hand, pulled Chu Liyuan out of the room and closed the door behind them…
The two sat down on the living room sofa… “Uncle, what did you say to Grandpa to make him willing to back down?”
“When has Grandpa ever been tough in front of Granny?”
“So, do I need to say anything?”
Jian Dan’s head rested on Chu Liyuan’s shoulder, her small hand held in his. “Mom, look at the painting I did. Do you like it?” Xiaoxin, running down from upstairs, held a painting in her hand…
Xiaoxin sat next to Jian Dan and passed her the painting.
Mm- This is really well done!” Jian Dan admired the painting Xiaoxin handed over.
“Right? The teacher said the same!” Xiaoxin proudly lifted her chin.
The painting was indeed very well done, not what one would expect from a seven-year-old child.
“Brother, see! I told you Mommy would like it!”
“I see!” Jian Xiaokai was not bothered by Xiaoxin’s subtle provocation.
His own little sister, after all? Spoiling her a bit wasn’t an issue!
“Mommy, this is my present for you, happy birthday!” Xiaoxin said with a smile.
“Ah?” Jian Dan then realized, today was her birthday?
She had forgotten entirely.
But to think that Xiaoxin and Jian Xiaokai remembered, Jian Dan felt an immense warmth in her heart.
Jian Xiaokai also handed a USB drive to Jian Dan, “Daxin, happy birthday!”
“It’s a little game I made; it can kill time when you’re bored!”
“Thankyou, my two treasures!” Jian Dan hugged them one in each arm and planted a kiss on their faces.
Because Jian Dan’s attention was entirely on the children, she didn’t notice Chu Liyuan’s expression.
Chu Liyuan’s face had already darkened.
How could he have forgotten Jian Jian’s birthday? He had originally prepared a surprise for her, but it had been destroyed.
“What gift did Old Chu give to Daxin?” Jian Xiaokai looked at Chu Liyuan and asked.
“Yeah, yeah! What gift did Dad give to Mom?” Xiaoxin chimed in.
Jian Dan also looked curiously at Chu Liyuan.
“What gift I’ve given, could you two little rascals possibly know? It’s a secret!” Chu Liyuan patted the heads of the two bundles of joy.
That statement sounded a bit off, didn’t it?
Could it be that Uncle’s gift was something indescribable…
Jian Dan’s look towards Chu Liyuan changed.
From Jian Dan’s gaze, Chu Liyuan saw that the lass had clearly misunderstood, “It’s not what you’re thinking!”
“Then what is it?” Jian Dan leaned in closer to ask.
Jian Xiaokai and Xiaoxin also leaned in, eager to hear just what gift could be so mysterious.
The timely arrival of Granny and Grandpa, holding hands as they came downstairs, saved Chu Liyuan.
Seeing the couple hand in hand, everyone knew that the two had made up.
