"Don't be scared. Look what this is!" Right in front of them was a huge seven - tiered cake, adorned with numerous small fondant cakes shaped like cartoon characters.
"Wow, what a beautiful cake!" The two kids stared at the delicious treat, drooling. Their eyes were fixed on the cake, not moving an inch.
"Kids, today is your birthday. So I've gathered all your friends and mommy's friends to celebrate with you. How about that?" Qiao'er had spent a great deal of time setting up this scene.
"Happy birthday to you!..." All the employees and the two kids surrounded the cake. Each person held a confetti cannon. They sang and danced. The kids happily pulled Qin Qiao'er to dance with them. This birthday was sure to be an unforgettable one for the two children.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao is here. Come on in quickly..."
This sudden announcement made everyone stop in their tracks.
Looking closely, Zhao Youting walked out from behind the curtain. As usual, he was dressed in a black coat and wearing black sunglasses. But unlike his usual self, there was a smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhao, what brings you here?"
"Today is Wanan and Chenchen's birthday. We've been working together for so long. How could I miss such an important day, right, Wanan and Chenchen?" Zhao Youting said, smiling at the two kids.
"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for coming. Please come inside." Qin Qiao'er was stunned for a moment but quickly invited Zhao Youting in.
"This is a gift. Please accept it." the assistant said.
Now it's time for the game session. Everyone has to participate, especially our little birthday stars today.
"Okay. Watch us!" Wanan and Chenchen shouted.
The game was three - legged race. There were three groups in total, with two people in each group. Let's invite Qin Qiao'er to demonstrate first. Mom should set a good example for the kids.
"But we still need one more person. Who else?"
"Now, Wanan and Chenchen, who do you want to play this fun game with mom?" the host asked.
"Well... We want him to play with mom." The two kids said in unison. They were really in sync, just like Qin Qiao'er's daughters should be. Qin Qiao'er looked in the direction they were pointing and was shocked. It was Zhao Youting.
This really startled Qin Qiao'er. She muttered to herself, "You two. Why pick the most difficult person? You're just making things hard for mom. Just wait till we get home!"
"Okay, I agree." Zhao Youting's sudden words also surprised everyone at the scene.
"This... I..." Qin Qiao'er stammered, flustered.
"What, does Miss Qin have any objections?" Zhao Youting suddenly asked.
"No... No, of course not. I'm just afraid I'll be clumsy and hold you back. That would be bad." Qin Qiao'er quickly explained.
"It's okay. Since the kids want to see it, let's fulfill their wish!" Zhao Youting said as he walked over.
At this time, Song Qianqian walked in without anyone noticing. Seeing this atmosphere, she was extremely jealous. She stamped her feet outside to show her anger.
The game started. Zhao Youting asked Qin Qiao'er to hold his arm, and she didn't dare to disobey.
When they were halfway through the race, a bunch of kids with water guns suddenly rushed out and started squirting water at them. It was completely unexpected. Qin Qiao'er stumbled and was about to fall to the ground when...
Zhao Youting suddenly grabbed her waist, turned around, and they both fell to the ground. Qin Qiao'er blushed immediately when she saw Zhao Youting so close. And Zhao Youting, who had never been this close to her before, was also captivated by her. It seemed like he was recalling something.
The people around quickly rushed forward to help them up. In the distance, Song Qianqian witnessed this scene. She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "Qin Qiao'er, I won't let you get away with this. No matter who gets close to Zhao Youting, I won't allow her to appear in front of me again."
When they got up, both of their faces were red. The people around quickly asked, "Are you okay? We thought you knew this trick. We didn't expect you two never played this before. I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhao, for making you embarrassed."
"It's okay. As long as the kids are happy. Wanan and Chenchen, are you happy?" Zhao Youting ignored their words and walked straight to Wanan and Chenchen. He squatted down and asked them.
"Happy, very happy. Thank you, Brother Zhao, for protecting my mom." Wanan said.
"It's okay. As long as you're happy. Now that we've finished our race, it's your turn to play. I'll cheer you on, okay?" Zhao Youting pointed at the water guns.
"Okay. Watch us beat them." Wanan and Chenchen patted their chests.
Meanwhile, Qin Qiao'er, with a face as red as an apple, was still thinking about what had just happened. She didn't even notice Song Qianqian walking towards her.
Zhao Youting turned his head and saw Song Qianqian walking towards Qin Qiao'er. He walked over to check. Unexpectedly, Song Qianqian raised her arm, ready to hit Qin Qiao'er. Just as her arm was about to come down, Zhao Youting rushed over, stopped Song Qianqian in time, and quickly pushed her arm away.
"What do you think you're doing? This is not the place for you to cause trouble. Get out of here right now." Zhao Youting shouted angrily.
"Brother Youting, what are you doing? Are you going to hit me for an unrelated woman?" Song Qianqian started to act pitiful again.
"Unrelated? I think the two of us are the ones who are truly unrelated. Although we have a cooperation, please respect yourself. If I see you acting like this again, don't blame me for reporting your behavior to the entertainment company. If others know what kind of person you are, what do you think they'll think of you? So, you'd better watch your step. I've been very tolerant of you." Zhao Youting's fierce look really made people shiver.
"Fine, Zhao Youting. You dare to treat me like this for this woman. I've wasted my feelings on you. It seems others are right. You're just a cold - blooded monster. And you, Qin Qiao'er, I won't let you go. Just wait and see." Song Qianqian said angrily.
After saying that, Song Qianqian ran out crying. After she left, Zhao Youting just turned around and said, "Sorry to disturb. I'm leaving." Then he quickly left, leaving Qin Qiao'er with no time to say thank you.
"Mom, I'm scared." Wanan ran over and said.
"Don't be afraid. They're just acting. Come on. Mom will accompany you to cut the cake, okay?"
"Okay, mom. Let's go. I'm hungry." Wanan pulled Qin Qiao'er and said.
