The sea in March is more beautiful than Wen Yuduo imagined. The water and sky are the same color, dazzlingly blue and pure. The rising sun shines in the sky, making the entire sea surface sparkling and resplendent.
The Allen slowly sailed away from the shore. The luxurious superyacht was filled with relatives and friends from the wealthy circles of City A. They all came to attend the first birthday party of Zhou Shaoyu's child.
Wen Yuduo was wearing a high-cut white skirt today. Her brown pupils showed a lighter amber color in the sunlight. Her skin was like flowing milk, white and clear, with a faint luster. She was holding a champagne glass in her hand and was socializing with a few friends in the circle.
"Mrs. Zhou, our nephew just went to your parent-child paradise to get a New Year's Pass yesterday. He said it was very fun there."
"As long as you like it, I'll invite all the children to come together and I'll pay for it."
"Mrs. Zhou, are you still considering opening a few more branches? We live in the east of the city, and it's inconvenient to go to Huayi."
"Yeah, we have three kids at home, and it's very difficult every weekend. Why don't you come and open one near our home?"
Wen Yuduo covered her lips and smiled, "I can't keep up with my energy now. When this Huayi store becomes stable, I will definitely continue to open a few more."
...
After chatting with a few ladies, Wen Yuduo walked towards the two Duan brothers who were wearing sunglasses.
She clinked their glasses with Duan Yi and said, "Master Duan, the Allen is more luxurious than I imagined. You are so generous that you are willing to give it away as a prize."
Duan Xunye's pink hair was particularly dazzling today. He bumped his brother's arm and teased: "That is? You have to see who it is for. Huh? We? Sister Chu Yue is here. where?"
Wen Yuduo raised her eyebrows, "No wonder, it turns out that we, Xiaoyu, have all taken advantage of our sister."
"Hey, don't say that." Duan Yi smiled and denied it. He took a sip from the champagne glass and leaned against the railing as if he had no bones to look at the sea view.
After entertaining a group of adults, Wen Yuduo went to see the children.
Many children came today. Zhou Shaoyu Xiaotuanzi and the children were playing on the wide deck.
He was dressed very handsomely, with a white shirt and dark blue trousers, a dark blue bow tie on his plump neck, and high-end leather shoes on his feet. His hair had been specially taken care of and neatly combed, and he looked like a very rich young master.
Zhou Shaoyu was originally playing with balloons with the children. When he saw Wen Yuduo, he immediately threw away the balloon and staggered over, "Hey, hey, hey..."
His eyes were bright and round, and he stretched out his two small fleshy hands, "Wrap, hug..."
With a smile on her eyes and brows, Wen Yuduo picked up the little dumpling. Just as she was about to kiss him, she suddenly realized that she was wearing lipstick and stopped abruptly.
Zhou Shaoyu grinned. He knew that he was special today. He put his little face against his mother's. He looked very squeamish and his voice was sweet, "Ahem, ah, ah, ah, ah..."
Wen Yuduo pinched his soft and sweet cheek and said, "Baby Xiaoyu, you are one year old today! Happy birthday!"
Zhou Shaoyu put his two little fleshy hands in front of him and pursed his lips shyly.
Today, many people said "Happy Birthday" to him. Although he didn't know what "Happy Birthday" meant, he enjoyed the feeling of being praised by everyone!
He is so happy! He wants to celebrate his birthday every day!
Wen Yuduo saw that the system panel, which had not been updated for a long time, finally updated the twelve-month-old parenting tips half an hour ago.
[Mom and Dad, today I am one year old! 】
[Great Movement: I can walk independently, climb a few steps easily, and go from standing to sitting down easily! Mom and Dad, am I very powerful? 】
[Fine motor skills: I can use a spoon to scoop food, and I can use a small pen to draw marks. Mom and Dad, are we very clever? 】
[Language ability: I can speak five or six meaningful words and understand many instructions. Mom and Dad, are we smart? 】
...
Wen Yuduo put Zhou Shaoyu down and bent down to look at a group of children with crooked eyes, "Children, let's play on the deck first and look at the sea here, and then go in to eat cakes and snacks later. , and? Is it okay for the picture book teacher to give a lecture to everyone?"
The children all had rosy faces and happy smiles, "Okay!"
Fang Ruoxi jumped up and raised her hands, "Auntie! Auntie! Can I have matcha ice cream?"
Other children also raised their hands, "Auntie! Can I have chocolate?"
"Auntie! I want to drink milk tea!"
"Auntie! Can I drink?"
Zhou Shaoyu also raised his hand and chattered a lot excitedly, but no one understood him.
Wen Yuduo seemed to be stunned by everyone's question. She shook her head and said nonsensically: "Oh, there are none of these! We only have carrot juice and corn vegetable salad today."
The children all looked very dissatisfied and said in a long tone, "Ugh——! It tastes bad!"
Suddenly, a man's careless chuckle came from the front.
Wen Yuduo raised her eyes and saw that Su Heng didn't know why he came to the birthday party today and clearly didn't invite him.
Wen Yuduo looked at him with doubts on her face.
Su Heng's hair had grown out, from bald to very short. He tugged at the corner of his mouth, stood there with one hand in his pocket, and said casually: "I came with my nephew."
He raised his chin at a boy of about four years old next to him, "Have you forgotten? My nephew, Junjun. His parents have something to do today."
Wen Yuduo suddenly realized, "Oh."
Sister Su Heng married into the Liang family. The Liang family and Zhou Zhiyue had a close working relationship, so they invited the Liang family's children to play. Unexpectedly, it was uncle Su Heng who brought the child today.
Wen Yuduo nodded slightly towards Su Heng, "Okay, then you guys have fun."
Su Heng's dark eyes were like ink, and his voice was casual, "Yes."
Zhou Shaoyu waddled forward like a little duck and hugged Wen Tuduo's leg, "Amama..."
Wen Yuduo immediately picked him up, "Are you thirsty? Let's go drink some water."
Zhou Shaoyu pouted his pink lips. Today the temperature climbed to 20 degrees Celsius. Zhou Shaoyu sweated a little after playing on the sunny deck for too long.
"Let's go drink some water!" Wen Yuduo hugged Zhou Shaoyu and walked to the cabin, not forgetting to teach him how to speak, "Drink, water, water!"
Zhou Shaoyu chuckled, showing six big white teeth, "Amama..."
"Hey, I'm teaching you how to speak!"
"Ma Ma Ma Ma..."
Su Heng looked at the backs of one large and one small child leaving, his eyes gradually becoming dim.
He vaguely remembered that before the two of them got engaged, Wen Yuduo's character was actually a bit similar to what he is now.
But since getting engaged to him, everything seems to have changed. She gradually became stranger and even kept doing some very extreme things. He also started to get tired of her from that time on.
Su Heng looked at the woman's slim white back, her face looked gloomy, and there seemed to be a void in her heart.
He didn't want to admit at all that he had liked her before, and now he seemed to have fallen in love with her again.
If so many things had not happened, if he could have been more patient, more caring and accompanying, wouldn't everything be different? The man standing next to her should be herself.
Su Heng curled his lips in a self-deprecating tone. It wasn't until the woman's figure completely disappeared around the corner that he turned his head and gazed absently at the boundless blue sea.
Wen Yuduo carried Zhou Shaoyu to the second floor of the yacht. There was a small banquet hall on the second floor.
Zhou Zhiyue, Mrs. Zhou, Father Wen and Mother Wen, as well as several wealthy families with close contacts, were socializing.
Zhou Zhiyue saw Wen Yuduo hugging Xiaotuanzi and walked up to take it. He frowned and said, "Don't hug him next time. Let him go on his own."
Wen Yuduo rubbed her sore wrist, "Forget it, today is his birthday, which is special." Zhou Shaoyu was too lazy to climb the stairs, so he picked him up.
"You go and rest, I'll take care of you."
"Okay, I'll go and play with my sister and the others."
"Okay." Zhou Zhiyue leaned over, kissed the top of Wen Yuduo's hair gently, and took Zhou Shaoyu to drink water.
Zhou Shaoyu clenched his fists, grinned at Zhou Zhiyue, and patted the man on the shoulder angrily.
snort! He just likes to be hugged by his mother, and he wants to be hugged by his mother! What does this stinky dad have to do with anything?
Zhou Zhiyue ignored Zhou Shaoyu's little mood and took out a small cup with a dolphin pattern.
This is Wen Tuduo's new "open cup". He still remembered what Wen Yuduo said in a serious way two days ago, "Now we have to stop using the bottle and train the little fish to drink water like an adult! Drinking water from an open cup can also train the baby's brain Hand-eye coordination has many benefits."
Zhou Shaoyu Xiaotuanzi used an open cup for the first time today. He grabbed the two cup ears and opened his eyes curiously.
Zhou Zhiyue pointed to the cup and said, "You can drink it directly."
Zhou Shaoyu carefully picked up the cup and put it to his lips.
"Gulu gulu..."
Zhou Shaoyu raised his head and took a sip of water.
He found it very funny and his eyes lit up. But when he drank from the open cup again, Zhou Shaoyu couldn't control the strength and accidentally used too much force, causing all the water to flow from the corner of his mouth.
Xiaotuanzi accidentally choked on his water.
"Ahem..."
Zhou Zhiyue frowned helplessly, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then said, "Drink slowly, let's go change clothes."
Zhou Zhiyue took Zhou Shaoyu to the room to change clothes. He took out a cartoon white sweater and sports jeans from the suitcase for Zhou Shaoyu to change into.
Compared with before, he has become very skilled in his movements. He can change the children's pull-up pants and clothes in a few seconds.
Zhou Zhiyue also stuffed a small sweat towel on Zhou Shaoyu's back.
"Papa..." Zhou Shaoyu kicked his calves, indicating that he wanted to put on shoes and go out to play.
Zhou Zhiyue put the little dumpling on the stool and took a small comb from the dressing table to comb his hair. He seemed to be a good nanny.
My dad advised me sincerely: "You are one year old today, and you will be a big brother from now on. You have to walk on your own, and don't let your mother hold you. It's very hard for her. You have to grow up quickly to protect your mother."
Zhou Shaoyu didn't know? After hearing how much he heard, he pouted. Although he was not convinced, he stopped making trouble.
"We're going out to eat cake." Zhou Zhiyue put the pretty little guy on the ground, his dark gray eyes focused and gentle, "You are allowed to eat sweets today, and your parents will not take the gifts you received."
"Daddy..." Zhou Shaoyu smiled with his eyes bent. It was the first time that he saw this bad father so pleasing to his eyes.
Zhou Zhiyue touched his face affectionately and said, "Let's go, don't let your good friend wait too long."
So, little boy Zhou Shaoyu put on new clothes and staggered into the spotlight. Cheers and cheers erupted from the surrounding people.
His six-layer cake is ready. It is an exquisite and complicated castle cake!
Wen Yuduo put a beautiful little crown on Zhou Shaoyu's head, picked him up, and couldn't help but leave a red lipstick mark on his face. Zhou Shaoyu smiled shyly as everyone watched.
"Family of three, stand closer!" The photographer carried the "cannon", "Come, let's take a family photo."
Wen Yuduo hugged the chubby little dumpling, and Zhou Zhiyue gently hugged Wen Yuduo's waist. The three of them smiled at the same time, with the corners of their mouths curved in a similar arc.
"Kacha——"
Photographer: "The photo was great! It's my first time to see such a beautiful family of three!"
Mrs. Zhou: "The young couple look like husband and wife!"
Wen Yunting: "It's a perfect match."
Wu Xin: "I'd better give birth to a few, three, four, five or six, and I'll take care of them."
...
After taking photos, they started singing happy birthday, blowing out candles and making wishes.
The atmosphere was joyful, with children cheering and screaming all around. Zhou Shaoyu huddled in his mother's arms reservedly throughout the whole process, his little face flushed with happiness.
"Xiaoyu, you can make three wishes! What does wishing mean? Whatever you want, you can say it in your heart. Birthday wishes are very effective."
Wen Yuduo made a wishing gesture for Zhou Shaoyu, and Zhou Shaoyu folded his two little fleshy hands on his chest.
Under the candlelight, Xiaotuanzi shook his short curly hair, and his thick and curled eyelashes flapped like butterfly wings.
——He wants to eat candies, cakes, milk tea and? a lot of snacks!
——He wants to be a chef and can go into the kitchen and play with kitchen knives every day!
——He wants to grow up quickly and be able to protect his mother!
