Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Birthday
March 1st, Tuesday, a light drizzle fell from the sky, and the moist air after the rain made people feel very refreshed.
Candy, who had just finished school, ran out of the classroom and looked up at the misty sky. It was only a little after five, yet it seemed like it was already seven o’clock, and even the street lights in the park were all lit up.
After looking for a while, Candy turned her head and went back to the classroom, picking up the pink children’s paradise umbrella hanging on her desk. When Candy walked out of the classroom again, the corridor outside the classroom was already filled with little kids.
"Mo Xiaoxue, be careful on your way home in the rain."
"Got it, Li."
Candy, with the umbrella on her back, happily walked through the rain. Today was her birthday, and a little rain couldn’t stop her eagerness to find out what gift her brother had prepared for her.
On the other side, there was a crowd in Mo Jingchun’s office at this moment.
Mo Jingchun helplessly looked at the birthday-themed decorations set up by Xia Xiaomin and others. For Candy’s birthday, he had originally planned to simply invite a few family members over for dinner, but now the entire 26th floor was in his office.
Weren’t they usually quite afraid of him as the big boss? Today, they completely ignored him as he sat at his desk.
Candy would definitely be thrilled; the more people at her birthday, the happier the little one would be.
At this moment, Mo Jingchun knew Candy would be coming back soon, so he gestured for Xia Xiaomin to come over.
"Boss, what do you need?"
Mo Jingchun motioned for Xia Xiaomin to lend her ear, and he whispered to her, "Count the number of people and quickly book a few tables."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaomin smiled and nodded, saying, "Boss, don’t worry, I’ll make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you."
Today was Candy’s birthday, and the company’s executives all knew, especially the few senior employees who have always been around. Every year, they celebrated Candy’s birthday.
Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan were among those who literally watched Candy grow up.
Back in Jing City, the office area was Candy’s playground. Back then, the company was small, not many employees, and most of them had held Candy.
It’s unclear who brought the conference table into the office. In the middle of the large conference table, there was an exceptionally big three-tier fruit cake.
The cake said, "I’m five years old!"
And on the top tier, there were sunflowers of varying sizes, looking very pretty.
Mo Jingchun thought it looked nice, and there was no need to say how much Candy would love it.
Apart from the cake, the conference table was surrounded by an abundance of various fruits. Among them were Candy’s favorites, strawberries and cherries.
At the entrance of the first-floor lobby, Candy put away her umbrella and hopped on the carpet to shake off the rain from her shoes.
When she reached the elevator hall, the dedicated elevator that had been waiting for a while dinged open.
Fantastically imagining what birthday gift her brother had prepared, Candy hopped into the elevator, humming a nursery rhyme.
The person monitoring the elevator quickly dashed into the office and shouted, "She’s coming, she’s coming!"
"Candy’s back."
Everyone immediately quieted down as if they had rehearsed it, and someone turned off the office lights.
They closed the curtains, and the office plunged into darkness.
Though it wasn’t entirely pitch black, without letting the eyes adjust, one could only see the door.
Next to Mo Jingchun’s desk, Xu Pengfei and others sat in chairs, watching everyone prepare to give Candy a surprise.
"Little bunny, open the door..."
When the elevator arrived on the 26th floor, Candy hummed the nursery rhyme and hopped out, thinking she would soon see the gift her brother prepared, she couldn’t help but quicken her pace.
After completing her escort mission, Feiyan was about to rest in the lounge but found no one inside.
As she was wondering, Candy suddenly stopped.
In the office, everyone looked at Candy bending over and stretching her head curiously, almost unable to suppress their laughter.
This child had probably never seen such a dark office before.
"Brother? Playing hide and seek?"
Inside was pitch black, nothing could be seen. Bold as Candy was, she didn’t dare to walk in recklessly. Who knew if her brother and sister were plotting against her?
Looking at Candy being sneaky, and with a smile on her lips, Mo Jingchun knew these people couldn’t scare Candy.
This little sister of his, even at five years old today, was quite clever.
Sure enough, under everyone’s gaze, Candy giggled, raised her right hand.
"Zero, turn on all the office lights." Her voice wasn’t loud, but everyone heard it clearly.
The next moment, as the lights turned on.
"Surprise!"
"Oh my gosh!"
Startled, Candy, seeing such a scene for the first time, was so shocked that she turned around and ran. That was anyone’s immediate reaction.
The next second, Candy ran right into Feiyan’s arms.
After calming down a bit, Candy bent over and peeked into the office again, her eyes widened instantly.
"Happy Birthday!"
"Wow~ such a big cake."
Feeling the gaze of Old Xu and others, Mo Jingchun covered his eyes with his hand. This kid, why is her focus on the cake?
Being pushed into the office by Feiyan, Candy soon found herself bewildered.
She was buried in a pile of gifts, her cute little face pinched who knew how many times.
This surprise came too suddenly; it even had a tiny bit of fright.
Last year’s birthday wasn’t like this.
As the candles on the cake were lit, Zero automatically turned off the lights again.
"Happy birthday to you~"
Everyone clapped and sang the birthday song, and at this moment, Candy was suddenly lifted up by someone.
Turning her head, Candy saw it was her brother, and she immediately felt at ease.
Having just experienced peeing the bed while playing with fire, Candy still had a bit of fear facing flames.
"Make a wish," Mo Jingchun gently whispered in Candy’s ear.
Candy nodded, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish in her heart: "I want to save a lot of money in my piggy bank, so when I grow up, I can take my brother to play."
Whoo~
The candles went out as Zero turned on all the lights immediately.
Probably because Mo Jingchun was there, everyone behaved after getting cake, eating it without any pranks.
Mo Jingchun also tasted a piece; it was pretty good.
As today’s main character, Candy was exceedingly happy today.
When her brother stuffed money into her not-so-large pocket, Candy was even happier. She gave her brother a flying kiss on the spot—heehee, brother understands Guoguo.
That night, although she didn’t have hot pot as she wanted, she was equally satisfied with the big feast at the hotel.
And the fruits Xuanyu had carefully prepared for her—so delicious.
