"Youyou, don't apologize! Youyou, go find your dad!" Little Youyou ran off again, her short legs kicking.
"Slow down, don't fall," Bai Xiaoru reminded her from behind.
This little rascal has absolutely no ladylike manners.
While coaxing the little one, Ji Shushu suddenly remembered, "Oh right, Xiaobai, I... I have another gift for Youyou." She hesitated for a moment, then took out a delicate little box and handed it to Bai Xiaoruo. "This is a small gift from my brother to Youyou. I've told him about your situation. Knowing you're still alive, and that you've gotten back together with Xian Mingyu and have a child, he's genuinely happy for you. My brother knows today is Youyou's birthday, so he sent this from abroad. He hopes Youyou will like it..."
Bai Xiaoruo looked at the box in Ji Shushu's hand, feeling conflicted, unsure whether to accept it. "How is Brother Ziqian...?" It had been more than four years since they last saw each other, and she wondered how he was doing.
Ji Shushu shook her head. How could it possibly get better? Bai Xiaoruo was once his whole life; she was the girl he had loved for most of his life.
In the end, however, he still hurt her in the most despicable way, damaging their precious friendship of more than ten years.
Now, Ji Ziqian lives in a daze every day, keeping himself busy with work to stop thinking about her. However, due to excessive worry, he is getting thinner and thinner. He is too ashamed to face Bai Xiaoruo and does not want to return to L City.
"My brother asked me to pass on a message to you. He doesn't dare ask for your forgiveness, he only hopes that you can truly live a happy and joyful life."
"I know... and I hope he can be happy and find the right girl for him..."
"Xiaobai, please accept it. If you don't, my brother will be very sad. It's just a small gift, don't take it too seriously. My brother really doesn't want to ruin your relationship with Xian Mingyu anymore."
"Well... alright." Bai Xiaoruo had no choice but to accept the gift box from Ji Shushu.
It's impossible to completely forget what happened in the past, but she doesn't need to be too ruthless. At least, after all the twists and turns, she has returned to Xian Mingyu's side, and that's enough.
"His birthday is coming soon, Shushu, could you... please wish him a happy birthday for me in advance?"
"Who should I wish happy birthday to?" At that moment, Xian Mingyu walked over carrying Xiao Youyou.
"The banquet is about to begin, what are you two still doing standing at the door? Come in and eat together." All the guests have arrived, but Ji Shushu and Gu Yao are the last to arrive.
Gu Yao took out his gift for him. Actually, it wasn't really a gift from him to Xian Mingyu. A few days ago, when he went to Country C on a business trip, Xian Mingyu asked him to buy it for him. "Mingyu, this is your gift." Between men, a single glance is enough to understand each other's preferences. "I was the guinea pig for you first, and the results were amazing."
"That's more like it." Xuan Mingyu took the box from Gu Yao's hand. He had been looking forward to it for so long, and it had finally arrived.
He had been waiting for this gift for quite some time.
"What is this?" Ji Shushu and Bai Xiaoruo were both very curious. It was covered in writing they couldn't understand. Just as they were about to take a look, Xian Mingyu quickly put it away as if it were a treasure. "Today is my birthday. How can you be allowed to peek at my gift?"
Ji Shushu patted Gu Yao on the shoulder, "Hey, what gift did you give him? You even kept it from me."
I'll tell you when I get home tonight.
"Why did you wait until we got back to tell me? Is it some kind of secret you're hiding?" Ji Shushu raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. Could it be something delicious? Why make Gu Yao the guinea pig first? Is it poisonous? Or are you afraid it won't taste good?
"Mommy, there's a peach here. Is it a delicious peach?" Little Youyou stared at the pink peach printed on the box in Xianmingyu's hand, her mouth watering.
Bai Xiaoruo glanced at the picture on the box and looked at Xian Mingyu, "This is... fruit candy?"
"More or less...you could say that," Xuan Mingyu replied vaguely.
"How old are you to still be eating candy? Give some to Youyou, this little foodie is drooling."
Just as Bai Xiaoruo was about to take the box from his hand, Xuan Mingyu hid it even better, saying, "No, this is mine alone."
"Hmph! Daddy's so stingy!" Little Youyou pouted, unhappy that she couldn't get her delicious candy.
Bai Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. Look at how stingy he is, wanting to eat such a big box of candy all by himself.
She patted the little one's head and said, "You're good, we won't eat Daddy's candy. Mommy will take you to buy some better candy later."
"Mommy is the best! Youyou loves Mommy the most." Little Youyou reached out for Bai Xiaoruo to hug her, but Bai Xiaoruo took a step back; she didn't dare to hug her.
Bai Xiaoruo's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the baby in her belly may be born prematurely in the last month. Whenever Xiaoyouyou is held, her little short legs like to kick around, and it would be bad if she kicked her belly.
"Youyou, be good, Mommy won't hug you."
"Hmph!" Little Youyou crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks angrily.
"Come here, let Uncle hold Youyou." Gu Yao reached out his hand to the little one, and little Youyou was quite happy to oblige.
Actually, she wouldn't resist being hugged by any handsome uncle.
"Hehe, Uncle, hug Youyou." Little Youyou giggled and snuggled into Gu Yao's arms.
