Today was little Su Yichen's birthday.
The little boy was over the moon. During the day, he spent the whole morning at Shengshi Company with his parents. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he thought his dad at work was really handsome. No wonder there were a few aunts downstairs whispering about Su Yuze, looking like typical love - struck girls.
So Su Yichen realized that it was even more dangerous for his dad to work outside than his mom. Those women all seemed eager to be his step - mom.
Pfft! Those ugly women couldn't even hold a candle to his mom. How dare they have designs on his dad? They were so shameless! Now it seemed that it was really necessary for his mom to work in the company. She needed to keep an eye on his dad to prevent those bad women from taking advantage of any opportunity.
"When we're in the company, how do you want me to address you?" Su Rou asked with a smile as she brought in some documents.
"Call me hubby."
"Against the rules!"
"Who would dare say so?" The company was his. He was the rule. Who would dare defy him?
Su Rou rolled her eyes at him. "You're such a... monarch." She wouldn't do as he wished. "Mr. President, where's Xiaochen?"
Su Yuze raised his eyebrows slightly. This little girl was being willful again. "Xiaochen... didn't he go out to play?"
"But he hasn't come back up yet."
"This brat!" Su Yuze picked up the internal phone. "Let me check. Don't worry for now."
Just as Su Yuze was about to make the call, the office door was pushed open. Su Yichen ran in cheerfully, followed by a supervisor. "Mr. President, the young master is back." Seeing Su Rou there too, the supervisor said respectfully to her, "Madam President."
"Sorry for the trouble Xiaochen has caused you." Su Rou took Su Yichen and smiled at the supervisor.
"Not at all. The young master is very well - behaved."
"Right! I'm very well - behaved!" Su Yichen said assertively. "But Dad's company is so ~ big!" The uncle had just taken him around for a while, and they still hadn't finished exploring.
Su Rou stroked her son's fluffy head. "It will be yours in the future."
"Okay!" Su Yichen nodded. "I'll study hard."
What a manly thing to say! Even the supervisor couldn't help but admire. He was really an obedient and sensible child! With such a tough and domineering president as a father and such a gentle and delicate president's wife as a mother, Su Yichen would surely achieve great things in the future!
"You can go now." Su Yuze said to the supervisor.
"Yes."
Su Yichen sat on the sofa. "Mom and Dad, when will you get off work? I'll wait for you."
Seeing Su Yichen so well - behaved, Su Rou felt a bit soft - hearted. "Let's get off work now."
"Xiaorou'er?" Su Yuze looked at Su Rou. "What did you say?"
"I said we'll get off work now and accompany our son on his birthday." Su Rou looked at Su Yuze. "Is that okay? Or do you think your son's birthday is less important than your work?"
Su Yichen cooperated by looking at Su Yuze with big, innocent, and aggrieved eyes. "Dad, is work really more important than me?"
"Hubby, is work more important than us?" Su Rou also looked at him.
The pitiful looks from the one big and one small, and they were his wife and son. Even a tough guy would soften his heart. Moreover, he always put his family first. So Su Yuze tossed the document he had just received aside. "Let's go. It's time to get off work."
"Yay!" Su Yichen cheered. Then he grabbed Su Yuze's hand with one hand and Su Rou's with the other. The family of three walked out.
When they passed by the first floor, some employees on their lunch break happened to see this warm - hearted family of three holding hands. It attracted a large number of onlookers. Everyone gathered around the window and watched. "It's the first time I've seen the president skip work."
"The president used to skip work a lot. This is nothing."
"Used to?"
"Yeah. I've been in this company for six years. I know it very well."
So a large group of female employees got together. "Tell us quickly!"
...
"Xiaochen, what do you want to eat?"
"KFC." When Su Yichen passed by a KFC, he pointed with his little hand and was about to go in. "Mom and Dad, let's go eat KFC."
Su Yuze raised his eyebrows slightly. He scorned this kind of junk food the most. "Let's still..."
"Sure. I want to eat it too." Su Rou nodded and led Su Yichen in first.
"..." Su Yuze remembered that when Su Rou was pregnant, she loved to eat KFC. It seemed that the little guy had influenced her. But today was his son's birthday. KFC it was then.
Su Rou wiped the greasy corners of Su Yichen's mouth. "Eat less. We'll have dinner when we get home."
"Okay." Although he answered, his hand still kept putting food into his mouth.
In the end, Su Yichen was dragged out of the KFC store. The little boy said he hadn't had enough. "Can we take some away?"
Su Yuze tapped Su Yichen's head. "You should eat less of this kind of stuff."
"I know." Su Yichen hugged his head and looked up at his tall father. "I haven't eaten it for a month." At the training base, he ate nutritious meals every day. He had missed KFC for a long time.
"You'd better eat it once a year."
"Ah?" Su Yichen drooped his face. "Dad, you're so annoying." Humph! It must be because his dad didn't like KFC, so he wouldn't let him like it either! "Mom will take me to eat it in the future."
Su Rou nodded with a smile. "Sure."
"Yeah." The little boy was satisfied and nodded repeatedly. Mom was the best! Unlike Dad, who was such a stingy guy!
When they got home, Sister Wang opened the door with a big smile, holding a party popper in her hand. "Bang!" A shower of streamers fell and landed on Su Yichen's head. "Happy birthday, young master!"
"Wow, thank you, Sister Wang."
"The meals are ready. They're all your favorite dishes, young master."
"Great~"
Although Su Yichen had just had a meal at KFC, looking at all the delicious food on the table, he happily filled a big bowl of rice. He felt so happy today. After dinner, Su Rou led him to the living room. There was a small cake on the table. "This was made by Mom. Isn't it nice?"
"Nice, nice."
Before Su Rou started working, thinking that her son's birthday was coming soon, she went to a cake shop to learn how to make this cake. Although it was the simplest kind, it still tasted okay. The fruits on it were cut by Sister Wang and neatly arranged on the cream. In the middle, it was written with chocolate cream, "Happy birthday, Xiaochen".
"Let's put in the candles and make a wish."
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Su Yichen snatched the small tool. "Thank you, Mom. Our teacher said that the day of my birthday is the hardest day for Mom. So we should thank Mom on our birthdays."
Su Rou smiled. He was really sensible.
Su Yuze also walked out of the study, holding a big gift box in his hand. "Xiaochen."
"Wow." Su Yichen looked at the big gift box, rushed over and hugged it. He shook it gently. It seemed quite heavy! "Thank you, Dad."
Sister Wang turned off all the lights in the rooms, leaving only the five candles in the living room. "Make a wish."
"I wish..." Su Yichen closed his eyes excitedly. "Oh, you can't say your wish out loud, or it won't come true." Su Yichen pursed his lips tightly and silently made his wish in his heart. When he opened his eyes, he blew out the candles.
Because Su Yuze wouldn't let him open the gift right away, the little boy had to wait until after eating the cake. Then he couldn't wait to go back to his room and open the big gift box. Inside was the car model he had taken a fancy to in the supermarket last time. But this one was even bigger. Su Yichen happily hugged it and kissed it.
At the training base, some of his little friends always boasted about how grand their birthday parties were, how they had invited a lot of people. At that time, Su Yichen didn't find it interesting at all. His birthday was much better. He had KFC, Sister Wang's delicious meals, and a cake made by his mom. Hehe, their moms probably had never made cakes for them!
When he went back tomorrow, he must tell them that his birthday was the best!
Happy days always passed quickly. The next day, Su Yichen reluctantly let go of his little car model. He held Su Rou's hand for a while and then walked out of the house under Su Yuze's urging.
"Mom..." Su Yichen looked pitifully at Su Rou through the car window, looking as if he was about to be abandoned.
"What's wrong?"
"I miss you." The little boy said innocently.
"But you haven't left yet." This little guy must have had too much fun at his birthday yesterday and didn't want to leave. "How about you don't go and we'll go to school instead?"
Hearing this, Su Yichen's expression immediately became firm. "No. I've promised Dad that I'll be stronger than him." Then Su Yichen looked ahead. "Uncle driver, start the car."
Watching the car drive away slowly, Su Rou let out a sigh. "Look what you've forced him into."
"Hey, don't blame me." Su Yuze put his arm around Su Rou's shoulder. "This is the path he chose himself. He can't blame others."
"But you must have brainwashed him." Otherwise, Su Yichen wouldn't be so determined.
"Hehe..." He knew his son very well. Only by becoming strong could he do what he wanted.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Rou rolled her eyes at him. Su Yuze was so sly. His son was no match for him. "You seem so happy that your son is so obedient to you. Be careful he'll treat you the same way when he grows up."
Su Yuze shrugged. "Aren't I completely under your thumb?"
"Pfft. If you were completely under my thumb, why did you try so hard to stop me from working before?" Su Rou said crossly.
"Well... there were reasons."
"Humph." Su Rou snorted softly and turned around to walk into the house. "Get ready. We'll go to work soon."
Su Yuze also walked in. "By the way, let's go to the hospital to visit Grandpa tonight."
"Huh? Is Grandpa in the hospital?"
"Grandpa's health has always been poor. He may not last long. He hopes we can go and see him."
Su Rou nodded. "Okay." This small request was easy to fulfill. "How about we let Xiaochen go and accompany Grandpa more on weekends in the future?"
"Good idea."
Su Rou put on her shoes and helped Su Yuze tie his tie. "What about Su Yue and Liu Rulan?" They were also part of the Su family. Didn't they show any concern at all?
"Su Kaiming is still in jail. Liu Rulan has to take care of the stupid Su Meimei. They sent Su Hongyu as a representative to visit a few times. As for Su Yue... Their family is still arguing about the child. They probably don't have the mood." Su Yuze knew all about the situations of these two families.
Su Rou frowned. "They're still arguing!" They could just bring the child's mom back. What was there to argue about?
"Yeah."
"Suddenly I feel our family is so happy." Su Rou relaxed her brows and smiled.
Su Yuze ruffled her hair. "With me around, could you not be happy?"
"Hehe, don't be so conceited."
After tying his tie, Su Yuze took Su Rou's hand. "Let's go."
"Think if you've forgotten anything."
"I've got everything. And I'm holding the most important thing."
Well, that sounded nice.
