บท 172: A father's love (II)

(Cont. of flashback)

After giving some files to Shen Juan, his right-hand man, he went out of his study.

Lu Xian Yu noticed that Mengmeng's eyes were filled with enthusiasm about something so he decided to ask, "you looked so happy right now, did something good happen?"

"Yup! Mama, Qinqing, and I prepared a surprise for daddy's birthday!"

He paused from walking upon hearing what his daughter said.

Mengmeng realized that she suddenly placed a hand on her mouth. "Oopsie..."

It was his birthday? He was so busy with a lot of things lately that he didn't realize that it was already his birthday.

Mengmeng's eyes were brimming with tears as she walked toward her father. She wasn't supposed to tell him since it was supposed to be a surprise. "Mama will be mad at me..."

He blinked a few times. "Huh? Did you say something?" Her father acted confused as if he didn't hear what his daughter just said earlier.
