Chapter 191 Nie Zhengyun Delivers an Invitation
Now that Mao Mao has a pet, she takes her fish tank with her wherever she goes.
When eating, watch the tadpoles eat. When studying, study with the tadpoles. When playing the harmonica, play with rapt attention over the fish tank.
Even when driving his own car, he wants to bring the fish tank with him.
However, since the fish tank was filled with water and would sway, it couldn't be kept still, making her plan impossible to implement. Only Old Madam Lou's large white cat could squeeze into the back seat of the car.
She was enthusiastically raising tadpoles, but the other adults looked on with dismay.
Tadpoles grow quickly; before long, they'll grow hind legs, then front legs, and finally become frogs. Are we really going to have Mao Mao raise frogs?
Keeping cats or dogs is fine, but why does their little girl have such strange preferences?
They really didn't want to wake up every day to see a green frog hopping around the house, croaking all the time.
However, before they could figure out a way to make Mao Mao lose interest in frogs, another guest arrived with an invitation.
Nie Zhengyun himself came to deliver it.
He didn't call ahead, but directly ordered his men to drive the car to the Marshal's Mansion.
Standing at the door, he was pondering how to speak to the little girl alone when he first saw her playing with a toy car in the courtyard.
She sat in the backrest seat, her short legs plopping along the pedals, carrying herself and the big white cat forward. Their two round little bodies swayed back and forth with the vibrations of the stroller.
A smile immediately appeared in Nie Zhengyun's eyes.
"Miss Mao Mao," he called out in greeting.
Hearing her name called, the little girl riding her tricycle turned around, her face immediately lighting up with joy. She gripped the steering wheel and drove towards them, her little hands clapping against the wheel.
"Uncle!" Mao Mao stopped her toy car in front of him, tilted her little head up, and looked at him happily: "Uncle, did you come to play with me?"
Nie Zhengyun smiled and replied, "Yes."
What are we waiting for?
Mao Mao said loudly, "Uncle, please come in!"
She excitedly patted her little car: "Uncle, do you want to ride in my car?"
Nie Zhengyun glanced at the cramped seating area.
The single seat, meant for one child, was now crammed with a little girl and a big, fat cat, its fluffy white fur spilling out from the edge, leaving not a single gap.
Big white cat: "Meow~"
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Mao, but I won't accept it."
Nie Zhengyun took out an invitation from his pocket, smiled and waved it: "I'm here to deliver an invitation to Miss Mao Mao."
An invitation?!
Mao Mao's eyes lit up instantly.
She quickly climbed down from her little car, and in her haste, she almost stepped on the white cat's hanging tail, which made the white cat meow again.
Mao Mao landed with a thud, her short legs trotting over. She reached out to catch it, then quickly pulled her hand back, wiping her sweaty little hands on her clothes.
After wiping it clean and refreshing, she accepted the first invitation from a friend in her life with sparkling eyes.
Mao Mao gently held it, looking at it again and again with great affection, a sweet dimple appearing on her cheek: "Uncle, thank you."
"You're welcome," Nie Zhengyun said. "Would you like to open it and take a look?"
This invitation is much more exquisite than the one Mao Mao sent out.
The invitation was carefully opened from an envelope sealed with wax. It was written on gold-flecked paper, the characters in bold, vigorous brushstrokes.
Mao Mao looked at it for a while, but couldn't recognize the content, so she looked up blankly.
Nie Zhengyun explained to her, "I invited Miss Mao to my house for my birthday party."
Mao Mao immediately perked up: "Uncle, is it your birthday?"
"That's right."
When was that?
"This Saturday."
Mao Mao lowered her head and counted the days on her fingers.
My brother has to go to school from Monday to Friday and only has Saturday off. Today, my brother didn't go to school... Huh?
"Isn't that today?"
Nie Zhengyun smiled and said, "That's right, it's today. I've invited Miss Mao Mao to my house tonight for my birthday party."
Mao Mao panicked immediately: "But, but Mao Mao didn't prepare a gift for you!"
"Oh, what should we do then?"
Yes, so what should we do?
Mao Mao, clutching the invitation, paced anxiously in circles.
Last time, her uncle came to Mao Mao's birthday party and even brought her a gift. How could she just accept the gift without giving one back?!
Mao Mao is definitely not such a rude child!
"I...I..."
After a long period of anxiety, Mao Mao gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said, "Uncle, I... I'll give you the tadpoles!"
Nie Zhengyun was taken aback: "What tadpoles?"
"It's for me, brother."
Mao Mao lowered her head sadly, her chubby cheeks puffing out, and said reluctantly, "It's Mao Mao... Mao Mao's tadpole... will turn into a frog..."
Nie Zhengyun: "..."
Actually, he didn't really want it.
Nie Zhengyun covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Since it is Miss Mao Mao's favorite item, as a friend, I should not take it away from her."
"Then Uncle won't get a gift."
Mao Mao's eyes were wet as she looked at him pitifully: "Everyone gets a present on their birthday."
Nie Zhengyun hesitated for a moment, seemingly troubled.
After a long while, he seemed to have a flash of inspiration and finally came up with a solution.
"I do have a gift I really want, but only Miss Mao can give it to me."
Mao Mao immediately said, "Mao Mao will take this to Uncle!"
"On my birthday, I want Miss Mao to spend the whole day with me, until after my birthday party in the evening. Is that alright?"
"No problem!"
Mao Mao patted herself and raised her little head: "Mao Mao is playing with Uncle!"
"Oh?" Nie Zhengyun smiled, glancing out of the corner of his eye as a servant rushed into the mansion. He continued unhurriedly, "It's a whole day. If you agree, then we'll set off now."
"Now?"
Today is my birthday.
Oh, yes!
Mao Mao thought for a moment and said, "I need to tell my mother."
"certainly."
Nie Zhengyun had already seen the Lou family members hurrying out of the mansion.
Nie Zhengyun lowered his head and looked at the short, innocent-looking girl in front of him. A few fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes as he smiled slightly, and a non-existent wolf tail swayed behind him.
"Children must tell their parents before going out."
