Chapter 671 - 532: When Someone Is Embarrassed, They Always Seem Busy! (2)
Weiwei quickly followed up, "Yeah, is it really Miss Yang’s birthday? We didn’t prepare anything!"
Seeing the apologetic yet adorable expressions on the little darlings’ faces, Yang Yuxi couldn’t help but reach out, gently caressing their soft cheeks, comforting them, "No, it’s not. It’s Miss Yang’s dad’s birthday. That’s why Miss Yang asked your dad to help prepare a birthday feast. Your presence is the best gift, no need to bring anything else."
Speaking of which, she still needed to prepare a first-visit red envelope for the little ones and a thank-you envelope for Huang Jun!
"Miss Yang, shouldn’t we be getting in the car? It’s getting late, otherwise, we might not make it in time!"
Huang Jun reminded her.
He was mostly worried about the strong wind outside and the cold weather, fearing that the two kids might catch a cold if exposed to the wind for too long.
"Oh my, once I start chatting, I can’t stop. Let’s get in the car first! It’s indeed quite cold outside..."
Yang Yuxi nodded apologetically, then added, "Qingqing’s dad, don’t worry, we’ll be on time. I asked my Uncle Wu to hire two extra helpers to assist, and many dishes have been prepped earlier today."
"Alright, then no problem. Miss Yang, you’re really considerate."
Huang Jun gently placed Qingqing and Weiwei into the backseat and smiled at Yang Yuxi.
Due to the compact space of Yang Yuxi’s car, after fastening the little ones’ seat belts, he considerately chose the passenger seat to avoid crowding the backseat, ensuring the kids’ comfort.
Seeing this scene,
in the driver’s seat, a sly yet shy smile crept onto Yang Yuxi’s lips.
Huang Jun caught a glimpse of this smile from the corner of his eye, a surge of curiosity and puzzlement rising in his heart, so he turned to Yang Yuxi, trying to decipher the meaning behind her smile.
Sensed Huang Jun’s gaze, Yang Yuxi froze slightly, a blush swiftly spreading across her cheeks like evening clouds.
Eh?
Why is he looking at me like that?
Could he see her little secret joy?
And why was she secretly pleased anyway?
A series of questions added a subtle awkwardness to the atmosphere; she awkwardly raised her hand, moving her hair away from her forehead and tucking it behind her ear to mask her unease. Noticing Huang Jun’s gaze hadn’t shifted, she hurriedly took out a tissue to gently wipe her cheeks, trying to hide her blush.
Uh...
Indeed.
When someone’s awkward, they keep busy!
Watching Yang Yuxi’s little fidgets, Huang Jun couldn’t help but chuckle.
At this moment, Weiwei, noticing the car hadn’t moved, curiously peeked out and asked, "Miss Yang, why haven’t we set off yet?"
"Oh, we’re going right now!"
Yang Yuxi quickly responded, hastily starting the vehicle.
"Wait a minute~"
Huang Jun suddenly interrupted her actions, extending a hand towards her.
This sudden gesture left Yang Yuxi utterly surprised.
Her eyes followed Huang Jun’s hand, which slowly approached, causing her heart to race and breathing to nearly cease, her heartbeat drumming.
What does Huang Jun intend to do?
Should I say no?
After all, the kids are in the car!
It wouldn’t look good!
A flurry of thoughts flashed through her mind, though instinctively wanting to dodge, her body seemed fixed, unable to move at all, watching in a daze.
Then, Huang Jun’s hand stopped mid-air, pointing towards her seatbelt, softly saying, "Your seatbelt isn’t fastened!"
So it turns out she misunderstood...
Yang Yuxi suddenly realized, her cheeks instantly turned a deep red. She quickly lowered her head, hurriedly fastening her seatbelt, adjusting her emotions as swiftly as possible, pretending to be calm as she started the car.
On the road,
Qingqing and Weiwei nestled together, their little heads occasionally tilting towards the window to admire the scenery outside.
Qingqing thought for a moment, gently tugged Weiwei’s sleeve beside her, and asked in her soft baby voice, "Sister, do you remember when our birthday is? I think it’s shortly after the New Year."
Weiwei’s eyes lit up, responding excitedly, "Yeah, yeah, sister! I always remember; our birthday is after the New Year, but I can’t remember the exact day. Daddy, you definitely know, right?"
Speaking, she tilted her little head, looking at Huang Jun through the gap in the backseat.
Seated in the front, Huang Jun caught the anticipation in the kids’ eyes through the rearview mirror, his mouth involuntarily curving into a smile, eyes full of affection as he said, "Qingqing, Weiwei, you’re right, your birthday is on February 18th, the thirteenth day of the lunar January, indeed shortly after the Spring Festival!"
Hearing their dad’s words, Weiwei’s eyes sparkled as if stars twinkling, she said, filled with expectations, "Wow, I really can’t wait for February 18th, the thirteenth day of the lunar January, to come. Then I can celebrate my birthday and get presents..."
Huang Jun laughed and teased, "I get the feeling, celebrating the birthday has become secondary, and getting presents is what you’re really thinking about, right!"
"Hee hee~"
Weiwei didn’t refute, instead, she just smiled at him gleefully.
After all, Dad hit the nail on the head about what was on her mind!
She had no power to argue...
Huang Jun, full of fatherly love, added, "Don’t worry, Dad will prepare an unforgettable birthday party to make you two the most dazzling princesses of the day! Of course, there will also be meticulously chosen presents that won’t be missing!"
