Zhang Xiaowen waved to the handsome boy beside her, motioning for her to come over.
Taotao drooped his little head in frustration and walked towards Zhang Xiaowen. When he got there, he curled his lips and looked like he was crying. He opened his arms and said aggrievedly, "Mom, give me a hug."
Zhang Xiaowen smiled faintly, with a cold look between her eyebrows, hugged Taotao, and coaxed softly, "What's the matter, Taotao?"
"Dad also said that he was very busy and would not celebrate my birthday with me. Why do children in kindergarten have their parents accompany them? Why do I only have a mother and a winking father? Does my father not like me or hate me?"
The little guy squeezed tears out of his beautiful eyes just thinking about it, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"How could it be? Your father loves you the most. If you call your father now and tell him that your birthday is coming, he will definitely come back to see you. Your father is busy with work and may have forgotten your birthday."
"Really?" The child's eyes were bright and full of stars.
"Um."
"Yeah, then I'm going to call dad now!"
The little guy happily slipped off Zhang Xiaowen's body and hurried to the phone.
Zhang Xiaowen watched the boy leave, the tenderness in her eyes turning into indifference. She took out her mobile phone and dialed Ye Chen's number.
A cold voice came from inside, "Is something wrong?"
Zhang Xiaowen could imagine the expression on the man's face on the other side of the phone at this moment. She sneered, "Mr. Ye, you are such a busy man. Now you can even ignore your son's birthday. Do you want everyone to doubt that Taotao is not
Your child, but..."
"Shut up."
"Chen, you have to understand how I feel. It's not that I'm forcing you, but that I don't know how to comfort the lost Taotao. He really wants to spend a full birthday with his father."
"knew."
Ye Chen ended the call and his cell phone rang again. When he saw it was Ye Mansion's landline, he picked it up and said, "Dad!"
The voice of an excited child came from the phone.
The tight lines on Ye Chen's face softened somewhat, "Tongtong, what's wrong?"
"Dad, tonight is Taotao's birthday. Dad, can you come back to celebrate my birthday with me?"
"sure."
"Really? Dad, don't you lie to me?"
"No."
"Okay, Dad, I'll wait for you to come back in the evening!"
"good."
The boy on the other side hung up the phone reluctantly, and then ran to the bedroom with a happy face, shouting along the way, "Mom, Mom..."
The boy's joyful laughter spread throughout the Ye Mansion from far to near. He suddenly bumped into someone at the corner. When he saw that it was the little ancestor, he quickly supported Taotao who was about to fall, and said distressedly,
"Oh, my little ancestor, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Ruyan casually took out the silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his grandson's forehead.
"Grandma!" Taotao called out obediently. When he saw the person next to grandma, he shouted timidly, "Grandpa!"
The visitors were Liu Ruyan and her husband, Ye Zhenfei, and his wife.
For Liu Ruyan, who is nearly fifty years old, this grandson is simply her treasure. The more she looks at her, the more precious she becomes. However, it is her son's child who hurts so much.
She responded excitedly, "Hey, little ancestor, what's wrong with you?"
Taotao threw himself into Liu Ruyan's arms and nuzzled, "Grandma...", and began to act coquettishly in her arms. Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat, and she was even more curious, holding Taotao's pink face.
A few kisses on her tender face.
"Let's go, I made an appointment with Professor Liu for afternoon tea this afternoon!" A faint voice came from the side.
Liu Ruyan scolded her husband angrily, "I see, isn't this our baby?" She leaned down, pinched her baby grandson's cheek, and asked lovingly, "Taotao, you haven't told grandma yet.
,What is it that makes you so happy?"
"Dad promised to come back to celebrate my birthday with me in the evening. Grandma, you, grandpa and grandma Zeng must also accompany me!"
"Of course." Liu Ruyan smiled happily.
"Let's go." Ye Zhenfei reminded again from the side.
"I know, just worry about it! Taotao, grandma and grandpa are going out for a while, and they will definitely bring you a birthday gift when they come back in the evening."
"Oh, I see."
Taotao let go of his grandma and ran forward again. A shallow pear dimple appeared on his rosy face, which was so cute.
He rushed towards his mother's bedroom.
Liu Ruyan looked at it with a smile for a while, then turned back and took her husband's arm, and said angrily, "Let's go, Taotao's good grandpa."
"What are you doing, talking weird?"
"What do you think, Taotao is your grandson and Chenchen's son. How did you become a grandfather? You didn't even care about your grandson when you saw him, and you kept urging me to leave quickly."
"I...well, I was wrong."
Ye Zhenfei had no intention of arguing with his wife and took the initiative to admit his mistake, and then the two of them went out happily.
Liu Ruyan saw that her husband took the initiative to admit his mistake and was in a good mood, so she knew that he loved her the most. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw the driver, Lao Zhang, and took the initiative to greet her with a smile.
Ye Zhenfei looked at his wife with a smile on her face and knew that she was in a good mood, half of which was due to meeting his grandson who suddenly appeared. For some reason, Ye Zhenfei couldn't get close to his grandson.
Ye Zhenfei's temper was originally very mild, gentle and elegant, he never blushed towards others, and he never had a bad temper. His grandson was obviously his grandson, but he didn't want to have too much contact with him. Although he lived under the same roof, he rarely had any contact with him.
His wife Liu Ruyan liked taking care of this grandson. He only watched from the side, but he was very unfamiliar.
He knew that his son was dissatisfied with this marriage. If anyone could really understand Ye Chen, it was his father who seemed to have a gentle temper. He saw everything clearly.
Although his wife and his mother both like this daughter-in-law, his attitude has always been lukewarm. At this point, as long as his wife and mother are happy, that's fine. I only hope that his son can be really happy one day.
It is not a problem for my son to stay away from home all day long!
Thinking of this, Ye Zhenfei sighed in his heart.

The door of Ye Mansion.
Shen Jiayao took Ye Chen's arm and asked excitedly, "Chen, can I really come tonight?"
"go in."
The man responded indifferently, twitched his arms without leaving a trace, put his hands in his pockets and walked in alone.
"Chen, wait for me."
Shen Jiayao trotted forward and kept up with the man. She carried many gifts in her hand, the most of which were children's toys, all of which were the latest products.
She really didn't expect that Ye Chen would suddenly ask to take her to his son's birthday party. Of course she knew what this son meant to Ye Chen. Didn't that bitch Zheng Xiaowen take the opportunity to become pregnant with his flesh and blood, so she was honored?
Lady Denye's throne.
Therefore, Shen Jiayao seems to have taken this opportunity to build a good relationship with Ye Chen's son and family members.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiayao confidently walked forward holding the large and small gift bags in her hands with her head held high.
