Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2397 A Lot of Gifts

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at Charlene's store.

When we arrived, the store was closed.

Xiao Zhi frowned, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Isn't anyone here?"

Marcy smiled and shook her head, her eyes rolling as she said, "Yes, it's inside."

She walked over and raised her hand and knocked on the door a few times.

After a while, the door slowly opened.

However, there was no light inside and it was completely dark.

Before Xiao Zhi and Zhou Si could react, there was a loud bang and the firework tube exploded, sending colorful confetti flying.

Everyone outside was startled and stepped back in unison.

Zhou Si's heart tightened, and he instinctively moved sideways to block in front of Ma Xi, raising his arms slightly to protect her.

However, the next second, the voices of Xia Lin, Xiao Bai, and Xia's father and mother were heard from inside.

Everyone said in unison: "Happy birthday."

As the words fell, the overhead lights suddenly lit up, and soft light filled the entire space.

Zhou Si stood there in a daze. What came into view was an elaborately decorated store with ribbons, balloons, and flowers hanging on the walls. It was very beautifully decorated.

Although it does not have the grand feeling of a banquet hall, it is full of ceremony and thoughtfulness everywhere.

Various foods and drinks were already prepared on the table. There was no luxury or false flattery, only warmth.

Zhou Si was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking: "What is this...?"

Marcy smiled and said, "Charlene and I prepared this together. We wanted to give you a surprise."

Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up and he exclaimed sincerely: "Wow! This looks very attentive! When did you make this? I didn't even know about it."

He was also thinking of finding Xiao Shiyang some other day to celebrate Asi’s birthday for him!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shiyang acted faster than him. He was really thoughtful.

That's good, he originally wanted Xiao Shiyang to make him happy, and now he doesn't have to worry about it.

Then, Xiao Zhi pushed Zhou Si inside, looking at them and praising them, "Oh, there are balloons and flowers... So beautiful! Xiao Yang is so thoughtful!"

Zhou Si looked at it.

To be honest, he hasn't really celebrated his birthday in many years.

Every year on his birthday, he would just go back and have a meal with Grandpa Zhou as usual, and Xiao Zhi would also symbolically buy him a cake, and that was all.

No one has ever arranged a birthday for him with such care.

Of course, tonight’s crappy party filled with socializing and courtesies doesn’t count.

Marcy also walked in with a smile and added, "Although Charlene and I decorated it, uncle and aunt provided a lot of help! These delicious desserts and snacks on the table were all prepared by them. Aunt was also very nice and taught us how to make birthday cakes step by step."

Xia Lin said immediately, her tone brisk and sincere, "Of course, the cake tonight was made by Shi Yang herself. I didn't touch it! She is quite good at it."

As she spoke, she pointed to the exquisite cream cake on the table.

Zhou Si's heart was filled with warmth... The warm feeling spread from his chest, as if it dispelled the gloom that had been in his mind for the whole day.

He was in a bad mood the whole time attending the so-called family dinner tonight.

When Shi Yang left, his heart tightened even more. He felt worry and vigilance following him like a shadow, fearing that something might go wrong.

Later, President Di and his colleagues came forward, and they were more surprised and shocked.

When leaving, I was still on guard against possible attacks, my nerves were as tense as a string.

So, I have never really experienced the warmth.

Now... I can truly feel the atmosphere of celebrating my own birthday.

Zhou Si said sincerely: "Thank you."

At first, seeing his noble appearance and imposing manner, Xia's father and mother were a little worried.

You can tell at first glance that he is a young man from a wealthy family. I wonder if he would appreciate such a small occasion.

Until now.

Seeing his gentle smile, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, "No, no, these are just some of my favorite home-cooked dishes. Just be sure you don't mind. Come sit down and eat something. These dishes should be eaten while they're hot. They won't taste good if they get cold."

As they spoke, they greeted everyone warmly.

Xiao Bai immediately agreed, "Yes, yes! Hurry up and sit down. I've been waiting for you for a long time and I'm getting hungry."

He said as he sat down.

Then he turned to Marcy and immediately changed his expression, and went to settle the score with her, "You are such a rude girl! You went to that place by yourself without informing me. If you had told me, I would have gone with you to be a flower protector."

Marcy explained with a smile, "I had no intention of going. I just received the invitation at the last minute! It was urgent at the time, so I went directly. But you see, I'm fine now, right?"

At this time, Xiao Zhi asked Xiao Bai, "When did you come?"

Xiao Bai then dropped the topic of Ma Xi and said, "I have been here for an hour or two. I was originally thinking if there was anything I could do to help, but who would have thought that I would end up waiting here.

It was not until recently that I learned that little Marcy had gone to your place."

When Marcy heard this, she immediately waved her hand to stop talking, "Okay! Don't mention what's going on over there, hurry up, it's already late, if you dawdle any longer the time will pass!"

After that, she pulled Zhou Si to sit down, "You haven't eaten anything tonight, so fill your stomach first. You have to make a wish later. Don't go past twelve o'clock, it will be a pity if you miss it."

Zhou Si smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."

So he quickly sat down at the dining table, picked up a piece of dessert and ate it slowly.

Others also took their seats and chatted about light topics while eating.

Although there were not many people, the lighting was soft, the laughter was constant, and the atmosphere was particularly warm and harmonious.

During the conversation, Charlene took the gift first, with a slightly embarrassed look on her face, and handed over a long and thin box, which was a pen.

"This is for you. Speaking of which, it was you guys who helped me and Shi Yang find a place to get compensation from the store last time. I hope you don't mind, senior."

Zhou Si naturally wouldn't do that and thanked him with a smile.

Next was Xiao Zhi, who gave a newly launched custom-made watch. The deep black dial shone brightly under the light. The design was very cool and it was obvious at first glance that it was worth a lot of money.

When it was Xiaobai's turn, he scratched his head in annoyance: "Oh no! I didn't know it was your birthday today, so I didn't prepare a gift in advance."

He then rolled his eyes and revealed a sly smile, "How about this! When you officially take up your post at Lantes, I'll give you a contract as a gift. Although it's just a branch company's cooperation, it's definitely not a low-level one! How about doing business with me and making something big?"

Zhou Si chuckled and nodded, "Of course."

Finally, everyone's eyes were focused on Marcy.

Marcy didn't take out a small box like the others did, but directly brought a large gift box.

This scene shocked the people nearby.

"Wow! Why is it so big?"

Marcy patted the big box and said matter-of-factly, "Well, I gave a lot of things!"
