Lin Ci hesitated for a moment before she walked over.
"Quick, come here. I prepared a gift for you. I heard from Ning'ning that it's your birthday soon, so I had someone to bring it in."
As she spoke, she pulled Lin Ci into the room and brought out a palm-sized brocade box from the drawer.
Shen Yunci smiled at Lin Ci. "Open it when you get home."
Lin Ci was taken aback for a moment, but she nodded. "Okay. Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome. Auntie has to thank you as well for taking care of Ning'ning."
Lin Ci scratched her head in embarrassment.
Lu Ning walked in and looked at them.
"Mom, what's Dad making for dinner? He won't tell me."
Shen Yunci smiled and poked her forehead. "Why, did you miss Daddy's cooking?"
Lu Ning nodded. "Yes."
Shen Yunci pulled her along.
"I'll show you."
Lu Ning smiled and followed her to the kitchen.
