Chapter 1580 Li Jingchen, Birthday Surprise
Li Jingchen was taken aback, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Li Zhuoer very gently.
Zheng Yan spoke up, saying with relief, "The child... can call me 'Dad' now, that's wonderful."
Jiang Mingyang explained, "Grandma, Dandan has been talking for a while now. He just doesn't like to talk."
Li Feifan peeked under Jiang Mingyang's armpit and said, "Egg, call me brother."
Li Zhuoer didn't call out.
Li Feifan snorted, "Fine, don't call me then."
Li Zhuoer looked at Jiang Tong again, "Mom! Mom..."
Jiang Tong took the little one from Li Jingchen's lap and coaxed him gently, "Xiao Er, you can say 'Dad' and 'Mom'. Look at the table, who else is there?"
Li Zhuoer tilted her head back, her clear eyes gazing at Jiang Tong, and obediently said, "Brother... Brother..."
A muffled, childlike voice.
Jiang Tong asked gently, "Anything else?"
She subconsciously looked at Zheng Yan, but unexpectedly, Zheng Yan was also looking at her.
This suddenly reminded Jiang Tong that when she was busy in the kitchen earlier, it seemed that Zheng Yan was watching her from behind.
After hesitating for a second, Jiang Tong still taught her son to call Zheng Yan, "This is Grandma, Xiao Er calls her Grandma... Grandma..."
Li Zhuoer stared at Jiang Tong and tilted his head slightly.
Seeing that he was silent again, Jiang Tong gave up hope that he would speak again and handed him over to Li Jingchen to hold—
Li Zhuoer suddenly clapped her hands, "Take...take it!"
Jiang Tong was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked Li Jingchen, "Did Xiao Er just call me Grandma?"
Li Jingchen hummed in agreement and said gently, "It should be."
Li Feifan insisted, "Egg Egg calls for 'Na Na'."
Jiang Mingyang said to Li Feifan, "Egg is still small, so his pronunciation isn't standard, right, Egg?"
He noticed that everyone was looking at him.
Li Zhuoer blinked, looked at her mother with a blank expression, and then looked up at her father.
Li Feifan pinched his chin. "Son, say it again. This is your grandma."
He gently guided the little guy to call in Zheng Yan's direction.
Li Zhuoer looked at Zheng Yan and, this time, gave her face and shouted again, "Take it, take it!"
The little guy's unclear voice instantly brought tears to Zheng Yan's eyes. She excitedly groaned, bent down and gently patted Li Zhuoer's little head, then hugged the child.
"Grandma heard it! She heard it!"
Li Jingchen's phone rang.
He got up and went to the garden to answer the phone. It was Song Qingyi calling to wish him a happy birthday.
"Are you alright? Jiang Tong said you have some family matters to attend to and won't be celebrating your birthday this year. If you encounter any troublesome issues, I'll help you if I can."
"I'm fine." Li Jingchen knew what to do next, and he remained calm and composed.
Song Qingyi then asked, "So you're really not celebrating your birthday this time? How about we get together tonight?"
Li Jingchen: "No need, I'm over thirty, a bowl of noodles will do."
Song Qingyi clicked his tongue, "So hasty! Your wife and kids have been giving you surprises for a whole day, and you haven't come to check on them? I've seen them all."
"What?" Li Jingchen was stunned.
Through the glass window, I watched Jiang Tong teaching the children how to clear the dishes.
Song Qingyi said, "You don't know? Did they plan to tell you tonight, but the mall closes when it gets dark?"
Li Jingchen asked Song Qingyi to explain more clearly.
What's being played? What's being sold in the mall?
Song Qingyi said, "It seems you really don't know. Come and see for yourself at Dijing Plaza."
Li Jingchen hung up the phone, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
He quietly went in to clear the dishes, letting his wife and children go for a nap.
It's already quite late, past three o'clock. Jiang Mingyang and Jiang Tong didn't sleep well last night, but when they heard Li Jingchen say he was going to take a nap, they quickly fell asleep.
Li Jingchen was about to leave in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Yan saw Li Jingchen rushing out and asked him where he was going.
“I went to Dijin Plaza, and it seems that Tong prepared some gift for me.”
Zheng Yan quickly said, "I'll go with you, I'm bored here."
Li Jingchen brought Zheng Yan with him.
People come and go.
There were an unusually large number of people in the mall today.
The six-story shopping mall was covered with blue roses, and balloons and ribbons shimmered down from the sky.
The words "Happy Birthday, Mr. Li" were displayed in large characters on the median strip in the middle.
Li Jingchen continued walking forward, and he and Zheng Yan both stopped in their tracks. The screens on each floor were playing birthday wishes for him on a loop.
Each floor is decorated with the words "Happy Birthday to Chairman of Dijin on November 8th".
Li Jingchen focused his gaze on the largest display screen in the center.
The person in charge of Dijing Plaza made an appearance.
"Dear new and old customers, today is the birthday of our boss, Mr. Li. We wish him a happy birthday and his wife is very happy. Today, everything in the Dijing shopping mall is 40% off."
Then Tao Guanglei's face appeared.
"Big brother... happy birthday! Today, all the e-sports hotels under the Emperor's View brand are 30% off. I said it."
Then, Jiang Mingyang and Li Feifan's faces appeared on the screen one after the other.
Jiang Mingyang held a painting high in his hand.
"Dad, I will always love you! Sending you lots of love! Look at this drawing I made, it's for you!"
Li Feifan, standing beside his brother, imitated him by overlapping his thumb and forefinger to make a heart shape.
"Dad, you have to cook me lots and lots of delicious food. I want to eat lots and lots of meat!"
Then the scene shifts to Jiang Tong.
She wore a clean, loose purple sweater, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore no makeup.
"Happy birthday, my husband. Thank you for everything you've done. You've worked so hard all these years. Dijing is getting better and better, and everyone is doing better and better. I love you too."
The tears welling up in Li Jingchen's eyes grew brighter and brighter. His throat bobbed as he stood on the second floor, across the screen and the crowds of shoppers, reading Jiang Tong's few simple words over and over again.
Zheng Yan saw it too. She didn't say anything, but she saw the emotion and gratitude in Li Jingchen's eyes.
The people in the mall gradually dispersed.
Everyone bought discounted items and returned home with their bags full of joy and laughter.
It seemed like nobody cared what was playing on the screen anymore.
The beautiful scene, with a face as beautiful as the female lead in a music video.
Li Jingchen stood there for a long time. On the big screen, the words spoken by his loved ones, his family, passed before his eyes and entered his heart.
The crowds eventually dispersed, the sky gradually darkened, and everything was submerged in silence.
Li Jingchen and Zheng Yan strolled around for a while, and when they left the Imperial View Plaza, the outside was already brightly lit.
The fireworks in the Nandi Bay area were exceptionally dazzling.
The dazzling fireworks slowly formed the number eleven, then the number eight, and finally the number thirty-four.
Hearts bloomed slowly in the night sky, like surging sincerity, dyeing the city of Nandi red.
Li Jingchen had his hands in his pockets. He hadn't prepared any fireworks for himself, but for his birthday this year, the fireworks were exceptionally loud, deafeningly so.
It filled his heart deeply.
