"Shuangshuang and Huang Huang are a mess, you’ll have to figure it out yourself."

"Then I’ll take them to the amusement park today!"

Su Chengji hurriedly exclaimed!

Bai Sixian quietly looked at him, as Su Chengji followed her gaze slowly towards his wheelchair...

He swallowed hard,

"Haha... well, better to just stay at home."

Bai Sixian sighed, glanced in the direction of Shuangshuang and Huang Huang’s room, then got up and walked over.

Upon opening the door, the room was very quiet, Bai Sixian leaned in... and saw the siblings cuddled up sleeping together.

Traces of tears were visible at the corner of Shuangshuang’s eyes.

Prince Huang opened his eyes upon hearing the sound and looked at Grandma...

Bai Sixian bent over and patted Prince Huang’s head,

"Mom loves you both dearly. She didn’t forget your birthday on purpose, she’s really worn out, Huang Huang is so well-behaved, surely you’ll understand your mom, right?"

"Grandma..."

"Hmm?"

"Will Mom... always be this exhausted..."

"..."

Bai Sixian paused in her words, her heart hesitating a moment.

Will Xiao Meng always... be this exhausted?

The weight of Yin Group’s heavy burden has thoroughly landed on Su Xiaomeng’s shoulders.

To uphold the operation of such a large company, she must engage in all kinds of battles of wits in the business world...

With Yin Shixiu not around, if Xiao Meng doesn’t carry it forward, who will?

These days, the business world is unpredictable, with so many eyeing the Yin Group hungrily.

It’s feared that from the moment she took on the weight of Yin Group, she’ll no longer have leisure and carefree moments.

Thinking about this, Bai Sixian can’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

Prince Huang saw Grandma hesitating to answer, his sharp little mind already understood.

He just hoped...

That Dad could return soon.

Mom said, Dad would come back... they just have to wait patiently.

Prince Huang closed his eyes, his thick black lashes were slightly damp.

Yes, they just have to wait patiently.

"Hmm... Grandma will buy a cake today, and Grandpa and Grandma will celebrate your birthday at home, okay?"

Bai Sixian coaxed.

Yet Prince Huang kept his eyes closed and hugged Shuangshuang tighter, shaking his head.

Evidently, the two little ones had lost interest in birthday celebrations.

Seeing the siblings both with closed eyes, it was hard to tell if they were sulking or simply exhausted and wanting to sleep.

Bai Sixian didn’t disturb them further, exiting the room and closing the door.

Su Chengji raised an eyebrow, wanting to ask how things went.

Bai Sixian shook her head...

Walking over, feeling somewhat dispirited, "Make some noodles for them later, trying to host a grandiose birthday party without Xiao Meng, these siblings probably won’t appreciate it..."

Indeed.

When the siblings woke up again, they didn’t mention anything related to "birthday."

The "big cake," "birthday song," piles of "gifts" mentioned by Grandpa and many more...

They didn’t bring it up again, nor did they care to think about it...

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang acted as usual, eating when it was time to eat, sleeping when it was time to sleep, playing when it was time to play.

Everything seemed normal, yet there was a certain sadness in their hearts.

Su Xiaomeng arrived at the company just on time, drank some water, then headed to the meeting room.

After the meeting, the morning was already over.

Su Xiaomeng returned to the office feeling famished, Ming Lang had already delivered lunch, but had left.

Zeng Xiaocheng was discharged from the hospital.

Despite the troubles of being injured twice, it was clear he did not let it ruin his mood.

"Zeng Xiaocheng seems to get along very well with Shan Minglang. After being discharged, he sticks with Shan Minglang, and they bring lunch together every other day."

"Really? That close?"

Su Xiaomeng laughed as she opened the lunch box,

"Indeed, it takes ample time to understand people."

"Mm-hmm." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"I remember when Ming Lang first met Zeng Xiaocheng, he warned me to be cautious of him, saying that Zeng Xiaocheng has ulterior motives. Now look, he’s quickly become good friends with him, I’ve never heard him mention being cautious or wary since."

"Time reveals true intentions! In the hospital, these two young masters treated it like an amusement park. If it hadn’t been a private VIP ward, the way they played around, the doctors and nurses would have thrown them out long ago!"

Chen Lan finds it humorous.

Su Xiaomeng nodded,

"Indeed, if I were in charge, I’d throw them out too. Speaking of which, Ming Lang’s behavior isn’t surprising, but who would’ve thought Zeng Xiaocheng has such a child-like nature too."
