"It's not hard at all..."
"Little Softie greeted me..."
...
There was a burst of surprised sounds on the other end of the video call.
Gu Chen's already barely suppressed smile turned up even more. The people participating in the video conference were the people he trusted most in the company. Now it was a good opportunity for them to get to know their boss's wife. Not bad!
Gu Chen immediately told Shan Heng to continue chairing the meeting, and then hung up the video call.
After he put Xiao Ruanruan on the bed, he draped the blanket that Xiao Ruanruan had brought him over the quilt.
Xiao Ruanruan also explained, "Brother Gu Chen, it's a bit cooler in the mountains at night than in the city. I noticed your blanket is a bit thin, and Sister Mo'er brought us extra blankets, so I brought one for you."
Gu Chen spread out the blanket, then reached out and ruffled Xiao Ruanruan's soft hair. "Thank you, Xiao Ruanruan."
But after he finished speaking, he found that Xiao Ruanruan was staring at him with her big, crystal-like eyes.
For the first time, Gu Chen felt a little embarrassed by those beautiful, sparkling eyes that seemed to hold starlight. "Little Ruanruan, is there something you want to ask me?"
"Brother Gu Chen, when is your birthday?" the little girl asked in her sweet, childlike voice.
Today, Sister Mo'er mentioned that Sister Qianqian and Brother Su Lei's birthdays are coming up soon. This reminded her that Brother Gu Chen has already given her a lot of gifts, but she doesn't seem to have given Brother Gu Chen any gifts yet.
Moreover, she has been back for over a year, and Gu Chen should have returned around the same time. She has already celebrated her birthday once, but Gu Chen has not yet celebrated his birthday.
Before and after his transmigration, Gu Chen didn't know how long it had been since he had thought about his own birthday, let alone celebrated it.
He thought for a moment, then said seriously to Xiao Ruanruan, "June."
"When is June?" Xiao Ruanruan continued to ask, feeling a little relieved that Brother Gu Chen's birthday hadn't passed yet.
June 18th.
"Wow—" Little Ruanruan exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Gu Chen, you share the same birthday as my sister and Brother Su Lei!"
As she spoke, she nimbly slipped off the wooden bed in Gu Chen's room, put on her little slippers, and trotted out of the room with her short legs. Her soft, white paws then clung to the doorframe, and she peeked her head into the room, looking at Gu Chen earnestly as she said, "Brother Gu Chen, I'll prepare a gift for you!"
After Xiao Ruan Ruan left, Gu Chen lay on the bed, the upturned corners of his mouth betraying his feelings.
For the first time in his two lifetimes combined, he looked forward to his birthday.
