Xiao Hua thought they were just some trinkets and little dolls.
What's there to be curious about?
Ke Kang'an couldn't wait to open the gift box, which contained a princess music box featuring a dancing, snowing carousel.
In this day and age, this is still quite novel. This restaurant is indeed high-class; the gifts they give are all very fresh and rarely seen on the market.
"Mom, would you like to open yours too? I want to know what's in yours."
Kang An urged her on, and Xiao Hua, to satisfy her curiosity, also opened the gift box in front of her.
It is a golden rose made of pure gold.
Xiao Hua looked up at He Yan, her expression one of utter disbelief. She wasn't that stupid; she naively thought her boss would be so generous as to give a guest a pure gold rose.
This boss must be some kind of bodhisattva, descended to earth to save all sentient beings!
"Then why is your rose golden?" Kang An asked curiously, taking the golden rose out of the gift box to examine it closely.
"Mom, this isn't a real flower," Kang An said with great curiosity.
He Yan felt a little guilty but also a little expectant.
"Do you like it? If you like it, you can take it and play with it!"
A rose made of pure gold—if it's solid gold, it must be worth a lot of money. Little Flower certainly wouldn't dare accept such an expensive gift.
Even if the gift isn't expensive, she wouldn't accept it if it were given to He Yan. But her daughter can accept it. Even if He Yan gave all his assets to Kang An, she would still make Kang An accept it.
"This is a gift someone else gave to Mom. I have my own gift. I don't want Mom's gift. Mom should accept it herself!"
Kang An put the flowers into the box, then pushed the box towards the flowers.
She's such a sensible and good child; she won't take things that aren't hers.
He Yan looked at his beloved daughter with great satisfaction. This daughter is truly wonderful; he has not spoiled her in vain.
"If Mom doesn't like it and doesn't want it, and you don't want it either, then give it to your dad!"
Xiaohua showed no joy at receiving the gift; instead of being happy, she felt somewhat annoyed.
He Yan felt extremely sad.
The gift I painstakingly ordered was completely disliked by the recipient. Did they dislike the gift itself, or did they dislike the person who gave it to them? I suppose they disliked the person who gave it to them!
"Mom, flowers should be given to us girls. Dad is a boy, and boys don't need flowers."
Kang An thought these beautiful flowers were perfect for her mother.
But she didn't understand why her mother didn't like it.
"If this gift wasn't from me, but from Mr. Zhou, wouldn't you have happily accepted it, just like when you happily carried a bouquet of flowers home in the morning, simply because it was from Mr. Zhou?"
Xiaohua gave you a look that said, "I already know the answer."
"He Yan is here, so there are some things I can't say to you, but you understand in your heart, don't you?"
"It's just a gift, is it that hard for you to accept it? If you really don't want to accept it, just keep it for the child. Gold has a lot of potential for appreciation."
Kang An seemed to understand who had sent her mother that pure gold rose.
"Mom, please accept it. I want you to accept it."
Seeing the pleading look in Kang An's eyes, Xiao Hua couldn't refuse.
"Please don't make the child feel sad, okay?"
He Yan. After saying that, he suddenly felt quite pathetic, having brought up his child just to get her to accept the gift.
Even if he accepted it, what difference would it make? He wouldn't accept it willingly.
She wouldn't feel happy or touched by the gift he specially made for her; she wouldn't experience any of those emotions.
This would only increase her annoyance, and He Yan felt like he was hurting himself as much as he was hurting the enemy.
He also wondered why he was doing this, sometimes he just couldn't get out of it and kept getting stuck in this quagmire.
He also desperately wished he could let her go and get out of this quagmire, so that he wouldn't have to live such a conflicted life now.
Taking Kang An out for dinner and a movie was originally a wonderful thing, and she was very happy. Xiao Hua didn't want to ruin Kang An's good mood because of a gift.
He then accepted the gift.
"Okay, okay, Mom will listen to you. If you want Mom to take it, Mom will take it." Children are always a woman's greatest weakness.
Xiaohua eventually accepted the gift, but He Yan still didn't feel happy at all.
Was he being too greedy? Wasn't his initial intention simply to find a way to get her to accept the gift, regardless of how she eventually agreed to accept it?
Didn't he already achieve his original goal? Humans are probably just greedy creatures, always wanting more and more.
After dinner, they went to the movie theater. To avoid upsetting the child, Xiaohua quickly composed herself and, together with He Yan, each took one of Kang An's hands and skipped and hopped towards the movie theater.
Unfortunately, they ran into Zhou Musheng and his son at the movie theater.
A foreign blockbuster was recently released, and quite a few people came to see it.
Zhou Xun had wanted to come to the movie theater for a long time, but he didn't want to come alone. Today, his father said he was free tonight and could come with him, so the father and son came to the movie theater after dinner.
I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here.
Zhou Xun happily stepped forward to greet her: "Teacher Ye, it's been a long time!"
Xiaohua also went up to talk to him.
"Yes, it's been a long time. Are you here to watch a movie with your dad?"
"Teacher, aren't you asking pointless questions? If we come to the cinema, are we here to eat instead of watch a movie?"
Xiaohua laughed awkwardly: "You brat, I'm your teacher, can't you show me some respect? All you do is insult me."
"Zhou Xun must not be rude to his teacher."
Zhou Musheng walked over.
Xiaohua felt embarrassed, flustered, and uneasy. Why did she have the feeling that she had been caught in bed with someone else?
"Mr. Zhou," she called softly.
"It seems that the evening class is not just for a little kid," he said expressionlessly.
This made Xiaohua even more uneasy.
“The child wants both parents to be with him,” she explained.
This explanation is a bit strange. Why would she need to explain? They're divorced, and there's nothing wrong with ex-husbands and ex-wives taking their child out for fun. Besides, they're both single now, so going out for fun doesn't mean they're doing anyone a disservice.
"Yes, thankfully I didn't ask you to have dinner with me, otherwise the child would have been sad tonight."
