When Baru finished his work and returned home, his wife, who usually took online classes in the living room, was not there. Even the servants had disappeared. His handsome face darkened immediately and he shouted to the guards outside.
"Where is the lady?"
"Sir, the lady has been inside and has not gone out." The guard answered truthfully.
"Vochai and Panpu didn't go out either?"
"They went out to buy things. It was Madam who asked them to go."
"Got it, get out." The man took off his outer military uniform and called upstairs again, "Wife?"
Still no response.
Balu was shrouded in an indescribable anxiety. He strode up the stairs and knocked on the door of the master bedroom.
"Baby, are you taking a bath? Answer me."
“…”
Bang--
The man, his heart in his throat, had no extra time or patience to wait. He kicked open the thick bedroom door, his eyes wide open, his voice hoarse, "Wife——"
Bang, bang, bang...
Colorful fireworks exploded in the bedroom, and multicolored confetti fell from the sky, scattering sparsely on the head of the man whose face was completely black and full of hostility.
"Happy birthday—" The first one to jump out was Zhan Peng. He was dressed like a colorful peacock and jumped in front of Balu. "How is it? I prepared a surprise for you, hahahaha..."
"Surprise, what the hell? Are you sick? My heart is about to stop. Where's my wife?"
Baru gasped and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Zhan Peng is an idiot. He didn't even have time to spend with his wife these past two days just to plan a raid on the human traffickers' lair. He can't stand any disturbance, especially since the women and children are here. He almost has to sleep with one eye open.
But he was so good, what a crappy surprise, he almost scared himself to death.
"Alu, happy birthday." Nanxi also came out from the cloakroom at the back. Yana and Danmin came out with her. Danmin was holding a birthday hat in her hand, smiling with saliva all over her face. "Happy birthday, Long Dad..."
Baru's face brightened a little, and he kicked Zhan Peng. Then he took the hat from Dan Min's hand and put it on. "Okay, happy Dragon Dad."
He pinched Danmin's face, then reached out and pulled Nanxi into his arms. "Zhanpeng is out of his mind, and you're trying to scare me like him? Huh? I almost exploded on the spot just now."
"Okay, don't spoil the fun. We've been preparing for the whole afternoon." Nanxi pinched his lower back, reminding the man whose lips had been pressed against her cheek for a long time to pay attention to his image.
"That's right. My daughter spent the whole afternoon just practicing the birthday song. You are just a rough pig who can't eat even a little bran." Zhan Peng quickly picked up Nanxi's words, fearing that he would miss an opportunity to confront him.
"You eat bran every day but you haven't gained much good meat." Baru warned Zhan Peng with a cold look, then looked at Danmin.
"Fat girl, do you want to sing for Long Dad? Come, stand here and sing. If you sing well, Long Dad will give you a reward."
Danmin was lifted onto the table by him with one hand. Danmin, who was wearing a white puffy skirt and two little pigtails, was not shy at all and began to sing. The whole song consisted of only two sentences. After listening to the whole song, the only word that could be heard clearly was "happy", and it was not in tune.
But it did not affect Danmin's self-indulgence at all. She twisted her little butt and clapped her hands, and her head shook. The adults present were all melted by her cute little appearance.
Especially Zhan Peng, his fatherly love almost overflowed from his carefree face. As soon as Danmin finished singing, he excitedly went up to him, hugged him in his arms and kissed him hard twice.
"My little darling, you're so cute."
Yana felt a little embarrassed when she saw Zhanpeng's expression of disdain.
Danmin struggled desperately to prevent Zhanpeng from holding her, but Zhanpeng insisted on holding her and was finally bitten. Then he rode a horse and put his daughter on his neck in exchange, and only then did Danmin obey.
"Dad Long, here's a reward." Danmin grabbed Zhanpeng's hair and looked at Balu with sparkling eyes.
"Hahaha, you take after your father in this respect." Barukuo laughed, then looked at Nanxi, "Wife, give her the one with Danmin."
Nanxi nodded, went to the cloakroom, and took out a velvet box. Inside was an imperial green jadeite carved Ruyi pendant, inlaid with heavy gold and diamonds. The style was unique, and the buckle was engraved with Danmin's Thai name. It was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.
Danmin laughed out loud when he saw the shiny things on it and reached out to take it.
"Come, let Dad Long put it on for you." Balu took the necklace from his wife's hand, raised his hand, passed it around Zhanpeng's head, and put it on Danmin's neck.
"You have to say thank you." Yana reminded Danmin.
Danmin put her hands together and did the Namaste salute as her mother had taught her. "Thank you, Long Dad."
"Well, good boy." Baru raised his chin, "Anything else?"
Danmin looked at Nanxi and said, "Thank you, godmother."
"Hahaha, look, look, my wife has taught my daughter to be so sensible." Zhan Peng was almost dying of pride, and he was spinning on the ground with Danmin on his back.
"Okay, let's go downstairs. Fu Chai and the others should be here soon. Let's get ready for dinner." Nanxi said, holding Balu's hand.
As soon as they went downstairs, Fu Chai and Pan Pu came in with a few guards, carrying large and small bags, all of which were food packed back from the city.
Nanxi and Yana made the birthday cake themselves and packed up the food from outside. Then Nanxi paid for a lot of high-end ingredients and beer out of her own pocket and asked Fu Chai and others to deliver them to the cafeteria in the military camp, asking everyone to improve their meals.
If Balu had not instructed not to reveal Nanxi's whereabouts, Fuchai and Boha would have praised Nanxi to the sky.
After the food was served, Boha pushed out the birthday cake made by Nanxi.
"Brother, look, this is made by Sister Xi." Boha pushed the two-layer cake in front of Balu.
It’s a very simple design, but it’s very delicately made, and it says “Happy Birthday, Hubby” on it.
Balu held his wife's hand with one hand all the time. His usually stern face was a little stiff in the smile. His Adam's apple rolled as he looked at his wife.
"Thank you, my wife. I am so happy. So happy."
He never dared to hope that he would be treated so cherished by a woman in this life.
No matter how strong a man is, he has a heart of flesh and blood; no matter how great a hero is, he can also be sentimental.
At this moment, the dusk outside has plunged the town into hazy light and shadow, but the man clearly sees the world of mortals and the vast universe.
"Happy birthday, my Dailong." Nanxi felt his inexpressible feelings and understood his surging emotions. She looked at him with a faint smile in her black and white eyes. After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to hug his neck and kissed the man's lips.
"Yohou~" Zhan Peng started screaming strangely, and was then pinched by Yana.
Fu Chai and Boha also started to scream strangely. This seemed to be the tradition of the Allied Forces. The young men were more excited than if they had won a battle, and they picked up their beers and drank them down.
"Take it easy, everyone. We'll be on a mission anytime soon. Don't let me drink too much." Baru reminded him, then put his arm around Nanxi's waist and asked, "Are you tired of sitting? Lean on me. I'll get you anything to eat."
