Chapter 240
Xiao Bao'er's birthday was on September 29th, two days before National Day.
Last year, she went to kindergarten and experienced a disastrous birthday party.
It was also on a weekend, and as a result, none of the friends she had invited came...
Xiao Bao'er's dad, mom, grandfather, grandmother had prepared a grand birthday party for her. They all felt their precious darling was so cute that there would definitely be many little friends coming and they had to entertain them well.
Their little darling must be very popular and definitely the prettiest baby in the kindergarten...
But when the day came, surprisingly...no one came.
Xiao Bao'er's parents and grandparents were all shocked speechless.
Looking at the spacious garden decorated nicely, their precious daughter (granddaughter) sitting alone in front of a cake bigger than her, that scene completely broke the hearts of both pairs of elders. It was too pitiful...too pitiable.
Afterwards, Xiao Bao'er's parents went to the kindergarten to understand their daughter's situation.
Every time when she came home from school, she seemed very happy and seemed to have played very cheerfully. They didn't expect the truth was...their daughter was too strong, she would make other little friends cry easily. Even the teacher couldn't hold this kid. She was simply a human-shaped beast in the kindergarten... Every day she said she played very happily with this and that friend, but actually she played very unhappily with them.
The whole kindergarten, including the teachers, lived in her shadow.
But Xiao Bao'er came from an influential family. As long as nothing serious happened, and she was just playing around with other kids, the teachers would turn a blind eye.
But going to Xiao Bao'er's house for her birthday party was absolutely out of the question. She was already so dangerous in the kindergarten, going to her house would be sending themselves to the tiger's mouth...
So this year, Xiao Bao'er's parents and grandparents were actually a little nervous. They didn't want a repeat of last year's disaster. They planned to invite their old friends' grandchildren to liven things up. But unexpectedly, Xiao Bao'er shook her head resolutely and said she had friends to invite herself.
Watching their daughter (granddaughter) in a little skirt, making calls to invite Xiao Qi to her birthday party in all seriousness, and the other party agreed, the elders all breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Bao'er's parents and grandparents had always thought Xiao Qi was some teacher's kid from Enhua University's side, they played together at the riding ground. They would send a car to pick her up tomorrow anyway and she must come.
To be safe, they asked Sheng Zhou to pick her up.
Sheng Zhou: ...He laughed speechlessly, but didn't explain. Anyway, they would know when they saw her.
Previously when his parents asked about Xiao Qi, he just casually said she was a very nice girl.
He absolutely didn't expect the "girl" his parents imagined and the "girl" he mentioned had a big difference in age...
Xiao Qi had also prepared two gifts, a painting of Xiao Bao'er riding a horse, painted in very gorgeous colors.
The black Taylor, Xiao Bao'er's white dress, pink face, blue sky, green grass.
It was a painting with some childishness.
Xiao Qi painted it in one go based on feeling at that time. The later paintings didn't feel as good even when she tried to paint them again.
The words on it were probably nicer: Wish Bao'er A Happy Birthday.
She also weaved a small pencil box shape with bamboo strips, to hold Xiao Bao'er's pile of hair clips and hair ties.
She also carved the word "Bao'er" on the button.
The next day, Xiao Qi went to the riding ground early in the morning and practiced horse riding with equestrian coach Steven.
She had great affinity with horses and her equestrian skills had reached a professional level. What she lacked was practice and hands-on experience. And Steven had high demands on Xiao Qi, but he didn't show his ambitions at the beginning. He let Xiao Qi ride horses step-by-step normally, and lead her. At this time he felt the riding ground was a bit too small. It was fine for casual play, but to nurture a champion equestrian, this place was too cramped.
But at the beginning they could only do so much with the limited conditions. They could only practice in the riding ground first.
After riding horses for the whole morning, and taking a bath, Xiao Qi changed into slightly loose sports pants with a pink elephant T-shirt, matched with a beige knitted cardigan. She didn't eat lunch because she had promised Xiao Bao'er and took Chairman's long car to go to Meng City together.
Chairman drove a pickup truck. At the back of the truck was a fluffy little pony... This was Xiao Sheng Zhou's birthday gift for his sister.
After getting into the car, Xiao Qi actually felt a little tired.
Horse riding consumed a lot of physical strength and was not easy as it seemed. She was still at the beginning training stage. Xiao Qi even took a nap in the car. Sitting in the front, Sheng Zhou saw the sleepy Su Xiaoqi in the rear mirror. Usually she was always spirited, it was rare to see her tired. Seeing her tilting her head and sleeping soundly, he drove the car even slower and steadier. Suddenly he felt it was quite amusing. There was a girl in the car and a pony at the back.
He seldom paid attention to girls in this aspect. He had zero experience in love.
But at that moment, looking at the girl sitting behind from the rear mirror, her sleeping face was also blushing. Her eyelashes were especially long. The sleeping her seemed even prettier, and somehow more adorable.
Xiao Qi didn't know how long she had napped. When she woke up, the scenery outside the window was unfamiliar to her, there were farmlands, high-rises, and mostly patches of small villas. After a while they saw a huge lake. The lake surface was as green as jade.
And Chairman's car stopped in front of a big gate.
It was really a grand house with a tall gate.
After a while, the gate opened automatically. The car continued driving, seeming to be turning around small woods, then they saw a small villa.
The car finally stopped.
Xiao Qi also breathed a sigh of relief. She felt like she had broadened her horizons again.
Her home was also through patches of mountain forests before one could get there. But those mountain forests didn't belong to her family.
To get to Chairman's house one had to go through a garden landscape. She felt the garden was already part of his house.
One was true rural area with inconvenient transport.
One was true wealthy for the sake of secrecy.
Hearing the car sound, the door of the small villa automatically opened again. Xiao Qi saw the elated Xiao Bao'er skipping out to welcome her.
She wore a bright red cheongsam today. With thick brows and big eyes, her righteous round face and small round belly, seeing Xiao Qi get off the car, she charged over like a cannonball.
It was thanks to Xiao Qi's strong physique that she could bend down and scoop Xiao Bao'er up into her arms.
Xiao Bao'er giggled happily, extremely delighted.
At home, only her mother could barely carry her. And every time after carrying her, she had to secretly ask the family doctor to give her a massage.
"I asked them to make lots of yummy food today, also cakes. We'll have a cake eating competition later!" Xiao Bao'er whispered gleefully next to Xiao Qi.
And seeing her daughter charge out, Mama Guo Ying thought it was her daughter's little friend who came. She also came out. Unexpectedly she saw a girl who even came in her son's car. Her eyes instantly lit up. Oh my! Her old son is finally becoming a man!
