"Dad!" Tang Yujia shouted loudly. But her voice couldn't rouse her father to consciousness.
Today was the weekend, and the shopping mall was always crowded. Especially on such a rare sunny day in winter.
Qiao Qianning held Lele's little hand as they walked out from KFC. Lele's pretty red winter dress made her look as lovely as a doll.
"Mommy," she asked in her babyish voice, "Can we really eat cake tonight?"
"Mhm," Qianning replied softly, "Today is Daddy's birthday, so we'll buy him a cake. Does Lele know what to say on a birthday?"
"Happy Birthday!"
"You're so good, Lele!" Qianning said with a smile, leading Lele toward the mall's elevator. They were heading to a renowned pastry shop on the sixteenth floor. She continued, "So you need to be good today and not make Daddy angry, okay?"
"Mhm," said Lele as they entered the elevator.
