Chapter 102 - 102 Birthday
102 Birthday
The night before Chuchu’s birthday, Liang Wen was still on a business trip. Qu Zhi had just finished a job when she received a new job. It was also a big job, and the other party was making things difficult for her and urging her very hard. However, Qu Zhi pushed back all the work she could and freed up an entire day for Chuchu’s birthday.
Qu Zhi went to pick up the dress early in the morning. The store wasn’t open yet, so she walked around outside and saw the candied fruit store was still open. She couldn’t help but smile and wrapped a large bag of her favorite candied fruit for Chuchu.
After buying the candied plums, he felt that the pastries at the side were fragrant and pretty, and Chuchu would probably like to eat them. Thus, she couldn’t help but fill up a large bag.
When she got home, she felt that she was a little too exaggerated. She was carrying big and small bags home.
As Aunt Hui helped her move the things, she could tell that she had realized she had mistreated her child. Her heart ached for both her and the child.
“Come and try on the new dress.” Qu Zhi wiped the sweat off her forehead and handed a big, nicely wrapped box to Chuchu.
Chuchu already knew this was a dress, but she still pretended not to know anything. She let out an exaggerated “wow” and tried on the new dress.
She knew her mother’s taste must beexquisite, but she did not expect the new dress to be so beautiful!
Although it was called a dress, it was actually a small evening gown. The top was a tight-fitting light blue flannel fabric, and the lower half was a fluffy, large skirt. There were even small metal stars and pearls hanging from the chiffon dress. The dress went all the way to her ankles, just like a princess in a fairy tale.
She couldn’t bear to take it off, and she couldn’t bear to cut the tag.
“Mom, is this dress expensive?” Chuchu walked carefully, afraid that she would step on her dress and ruin it.
Qu Zhi shook her head with a smile. “It’s not expensive. If Chuchu is a good girl, Mommy will buy more.”
At that time, Chuchu swore in her heart that she would be a good child and set a good example for her Younger Sister.
It wasn’t just the dress. All the children that Chuchu had invited today were here, including Sister Song Mei. The gifts that everyone had brought were piled up into a small mountain.
Most importantly, the house was so lively! Usually, it wasn’t so lively when she and Aunt Hui were at home. Sometimes, her Younger Sister would cry and throw a tantrum. Aunt Hui kept coaxing her Younger Sister, making her feel even more lonely with no one to talk to.
The birthday cake was also made according to her request. It was a two-layer fruit cake with a lot of fruit added to the cake base. The whole cake looked tall, like a big cake for banquets in fairy tales.
Chuchu felt extremely satisfied. Her birthday wish was to be a little princess like this every day.
Qu Zhi looked at her face, which had turned red from excitement, and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. Tomorrow, she would have to rush into the workplace and face the difficult party alone.
She started to feel sorry for the child. A child only has one chance to grow up. She could have given her child more of her time.
Although Aunt Hui could take care of Chuchu’s daily needs, Sisi obviously needed a lot of her time, so her entire focus was on Sisi. Every time she came back, Chuchu would be asleep and would hug her rabbit doll and curl up into a ball. It was so worry-free.
Chuchu knew she loved her Younger Sister, but she was also a child. She would definitely feel aggrieved.
By the time the birthday party ended, Chuchu was already very, very tired. After she finished washing the dishes, her eyelids began to fight as soon as she touched the pillow. However, she still pulled Qu Zhi to tell her a story.
As Qu Zhi spoke, she looked at Chuchu’s happy little face and felt increasingly uncomfortable.
She lowered her head and kissed Chuchu’s little face. “Happy Birthday, little princess. Mommy knows that I was wrong. I will definitely accompany you more in the future.”
Chuchu wasn’t asleep. She tried her best to hold back the corners of her mouth, but Qu Zhi still saw her and scratched her little nose.
“It’s a deal.” Chuchu curled herself in her blanket, thinking this was the best birthday present.
However, Chuchu’s parents were still called. It wasn’t because she was distracted in class again but because she had plagiarized.
Of course, she was definitely not the kind of child who would copy other people’s homework. Her classmate had copied her homework.
