Chapter Thirty-Seven: Big Wooden Uncle

  "Director Yu, is today Ruxi's birthday?" Mu Yan asked casually as they left the kindergarten.

  "Hmm! Otherwise I wouldn't have rushed out so quickly!" Yu Jing replied with a gentle smile, hugging her daughter.

  This queen of the business world immediately turned into a kind and gentle mother beside her daughter, even her speech became soft and lost its edge.

  Muyan was truly in awe of the magic of maternal love, which could actually change a person to such an extent.

  "I originally planned to take Yu Xian to Jinwan Resort Village, but the people there all know me, now it's a bit inconvenient!" Yu Jing said.

  Mu Yan understood what Yu Jing meant by "not convenient". Tonight, the resort is a place for rich people to go, and Yu Jing's identity is out there. If she shows up and others see her, it's likely that everyone will know by tomorrow that the Su family has found a stepfather for their daughter.

  Knowing Yu Jing's difficulties, Mu Yan thought for a moment and drove the car to the parking lot of a supermarket.

  Yu Jing saw the strange question: "What are you doing here?"

  "Don't ask for now, you'll know later. Your leg is inconvenient, wait here with Yu Xian for me!" Mu Yan said and got off the car, ignoring Yu Jing's calls from inside the car.

  My feet hurt badly and there was no way out, so I could only watch as Mu Yan entered the supermarket.

  "Mom, will Uncle come back?" Su Yu Xi looked at Mu Yan leaving her and her mom behind, and asked timidly.

  "Hey, Uncle just went out to do something. Isn't today Ruxi's birthday? That big wooden head went to prepare a birthday gift for Ruxi!" Yu Jing said this on purpose, seeing that her daughter seemed somewhat disheartened.

  As expected, Su Yu Xi immediately regained her energy after hearing that and said excitedly: "Really, that's great! I can receive two birthday gifts!"

  When Yu Jing heard her daughter's words, she couldn't help but feel a little downhearted. Her daughter was already five years old, and except for the first two years when she spent her birthday with her parents, it had always been just herself celebrating with her daughter. The Su family didn't consider her as one of their own, they only treated her as a tool to occupy the Su family's name. Thinking about this, Yu Jing felt a pang of sadness.

  Yu Jing remembered very clearly that not long ago, on the seventh day of her mother-in-law's death, the Su family members had what kind of faces and mouths. They were fine when they came to her, but they didn't have a single clean word for their own daughter, which made their daughter cry all day.

  It was also that night, after my daughter fell asleep, I was in a terrible mood and went to the bar. Who would have thought that I had that kind of relationship with Mu Yan? Although I've given birth to a daughter, she was born through surrogacy due to a transaction for benefits. My husband's body is too weak, he doesn't even have that ability. That night was actually my first time in my entire life!

  I thought it was impossible to have any interaction with that guy, and I even intentionally wanted to avoid him, but he still got closer and closer to me. Is this fate? Is this the result of heaven's arrangement?

  Yu Jing felt a little lost.

  Just as she was feeling muddled in her mind, Mu Yan had already pushed back two hand carts full of things.

  Because it was inconvenient, Mu Yan only saw that the trunk was opened and then things were stuffed into the trunk, filling up the entire space.

  "What did you go and do?" Yu Jing asked.

  "Of course, I'm preparing for Rain's birthday!" Mu Yan said matter-of-factly and started the car.

  "Uncle Big Tree, have you prepared a gift for Yu Xi?" Su Yu Xi remembered her mother's words and asked.

  "Big Wooden Uncle? Rain, why are you calling me this name?" Mu Yan asked strangely.

  Su Yu's small face showed a serious expression, saying: "Just now Mom called Uncle Big Wooden Head, so naturally I'll call you Uncle Big Wooden Head too!"

  As soon as his daughter repeated what he had just said, his face also turned red.

  Mu Yan saw it and couldn't help but laugh in her heart. It turned out that the female emperor CEO would also blush, she thought she wouldn't be shy at all.

  "It's none of your business that I called you Big Wooden Head, you're surnamed Wood anyway!" Yu Jing saw Mu Yan looking at her and became furious.

  Muyan suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Alright, whatever, I'm just Yu Xian's big wooden uncle!"

  "Uncle Big Tree, have you prepared a gift for Yu Xiu?" Su Yu Xiu asked again.

  "Of course, Uncle wouldn't not prepare a gift for our little princess! However, the gift can't be given to you yet. You have to wait until Rain Xi blows out her birthday candles and makes a wish before I can give it to you!" Mu Yan said with a smile.

  "Alright!" Upon hearing Mu Yan say this, Su Yu Xi nodded her head with a face full of expectation.

  Mu Yan drove the car out of the supermarket parking lot and headed all the way to the outskirts.

  As the high-rise buildings gradually became scarce, Yu Jing didn't have any intention of worrying that Mu Yan would take her so far away and be disadvantageous to herself.

  The sky gradually darkened, and finally Mu Yan stopped the car. Yu Jing found that next to it was indeed a beach, but it was a beach that had never been developed. Now that the sky had begun to darken, there were no lights here, and in half an hour, it would become pitch black. Was he going to take a walk with his daughter on the beach in the dark? Yu Jing felt very puzzled.

  But soon she found out that she was wrong, because Mu Yan had already thought of everything.

  He opened the trunk, then quickly pulled out a tent and set it up on the beach. Next came a barbecue grill and a large quantity of food for grilling. After that, he took out over ten battery-powered lanterns, found some branches to stick them in near the tent, and hung them up, illuminating the surrounding area before nightfall. Although the light wasn't very strong, it added to the romantic atmosphere.

  Su Yu Xi followed behind Da Mu Tou Shu, skipping and jumping along as he bustled back and forth.

  After Uncle Da Muhu finished inserting the branches, all the lanterns were hung up by Su Yu Xi herself, making Xiao Ya Tou extremely happy. For half an hour, Xiao Ya Tou's laughter didn't stop at all.

  Apart from herself, there are few people who care about her daughter. Even she herself is busy with work and doesn't have much time to spend with her daughter. The amount of time her daughter smiled today might be more than the entire month, which makes Yu Jing feel a pang of sadness as she watches.

  Watching her giggling daughter and Mu Yan, Yu Jing suddenly realized that, compared to herself and Yu Xi, Mu Yan and Yu Xi were more like a father-daughter pair.

  Just then, Yu Jing saw Mu Yan walking towards her. Before she could react, he directly picked her up in his arms and headed towards the tent.

  Watching her daughter happily following beside him, Yu Jing subconsciously held Mu Yan tightly and found that perhaps at this moment, they were more like a happy family of three.
