Hiding her pregnant belly! The wicked ex-wife of the true young master has awakened.

Ye Yu gently patted the child's back.

"Don't cry, Zhao Zhao. Daddy's back, and Mommy'll be back soon, okay?"

Mentioning a certain word caused Rui Rui in her crib to drop her toy and pout as if she was about to cry.

He mumbled unclearly, "...numb...numb."

Ye Yu was overjoyed and picked up Rui Rui as well.

"Rui Rui, what's your name? Say it again so Daddy can hear it."

The little one reached for his sister's hand, his big eyes brimming with tears, and mumbled, "...numb..."

Ye Yu was extremely excited. He carried his two children downstairs and ran into Wen Manchun, who was on her way home from get off work.

"Mom, Rui Rui can call me 'Mama' now. She just said it."

The weariness on Wen Manchun's face lessened a bit as she hugged Rui Rui.

"Really? Our baby is only five months old and can already say 'mama'?"

"That's amazing, that's fantastic!"

The little guy nuzzled against her shoulder.

The fatigue from a day's work completely dissipates at this moment.

Ye Yu dialed Jin Zhi's video call.

"Honey, Rui Rui can say 'Mama' now, listen!"

Jinzhi had just finished her third meeting, but instead of leaving get off work at the designated time, she stayed in the office learning how to deal with the pile of documents.

"real?"

She said softly, "Baby Rui Rui, call me 'Mama'."

The little one saw his mother on the phone screen and reached out his little hand to grab the phone.

Ye Yu placed his phone in front of her, zooming in on Jinzhi's small window so she could clearly see her large mother.

Rui Rui, being particularly accommodating, stretched out her arms and unconsciously murmured in her baby voice, "Mama... Mama..."

Jinzhi thought it was the most beautiful sound in the world, and her heart melted.

"Mommy heard you, Mommy's here. Rui Rui is such a good baby, Mommy's giving you a kiss, mwah~"

"Let's take a look. See if Mommy cried when we couldn't see her in the photo?"

Ye Yu moved the screen toward Zhao Zhao, and the little guy reached out to grab the phone with a pitiful look on his face.

Jinzhi coaxed, "Zhaozhao, call me Mom, Mom, Mom."

The little guy started making "woo-woo-woo" noises.

Jinzhi did not insist.

"Our baby is a good boy/girl. Mommy will bring you toys when we get home, okay? Mommy will give you kisses, little darling~"

After looking at the baby, Jinzhi and Yeyu talked.

"I heard you, thank you, honey."

"Of course. How's your progress? Have those shareholders given you any trouble?"

Wen Manchun also asked, "Zhizhi, is there anything you don't understand? Don't overwork yourself."

"No, if there's anything you don't understand, Aze and my brother will help me. Don't worry, I'll be right back."

Wen Manchun: "No rush, take your time, we'll take care of the child."

"Thank you, Mom."

Wen Manchun said regretfully, "I was going to throw you a birthday party, but you're not here, and Xiaoyu didn't seem interested either. We'll celebrate at home for Xiaoyu tomorrow, and Mom will order a cake."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Ye Yu: "We'll get one done when you come back."

Jinzhi: "Let me go back and we'll talk about it. I still have two documents to review. That's all for now."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Jinzhi threw herself into her work, not even having time for dinner. She read documents until 9 p.m. and then ordered a private chef's takeout.

While we were eating, Yang Jiamei called.

"Zhizhi, I heard you went to Beijing? It's your birthday tomorrow, and Mom said she wanted to celebrate with you and Xiaoyu."

"Mom, it's okay. Birthdays come every year. I'll go back after I finish my work here."

Yang Jiamei sighed, "Mom doesn't know how you've been living in the Jin family all these years. In the past, when it was Xiaoyu's birthday, the family would simply cook a table full of good dishes. Even if we celebrated his birthday, we never bought him a proper cake. When you come back, Mom will make it up to you."

There was no cake, no gifts, just a simple meal. Jinzhi's fingers tightened around her phone.

"Okay, Mom. I have to go to work. We'll contact each other tomorrow."

"Okay, Mom won't bother you anymore. Take good care of yourself."

That night, Jinzhi did not return to her residence. She stayed up until the early hours of the morning in the office lounge and met with the shareholders early the next morning.

The first thing Ye Yu did after waking up in the morning was to send a message to Jin Zhi.

Happy birthday, baby.

[Transfer 131400.00]

I waited for a long time, but Jinzhi didn't reply. I figured she probably hadn't gotten up yet. After taking care of the child, I ate breakfast as usual and went to work.

I received many birthday wishes from friends that day.

But he has no parents.

I opened the chat window with Yang's mother, but there was no response.

I didn't get a reply to the message I sent to Jinzhi this morning.

No one cares about him.

He stared at the chat box for a while, then worked overtime for a bit before going home.

On Friday, there was traffic congestion on the road. Ye Yu arrived home at 7:30, and it was getting dark.

I parked the car in the underground garage, grabbed my briefcase, and headed to the main building.

There wasn't a single light on the street, and the hall was pitch black.

He pushed open the door, puzzled.

"boom--"

Several fireworks exploded at the same time, and colorful petals rained down from the sky, flying everywhere.

In the dark living room, Jinzhi, dressed in a red dress, walked towards him carrying a cake with lit candles. The faint candlelight illuminated her pretty face.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Ye Yu."

Wen Manchun, Jin Minghan, Yang Jiamei, Ye Ran, Zhou Yinche, Zhou Yinmo, and Zhao Xijin stood to the side holding Rui Rui and Zhao Zhao.

Happy birthday to Jinzhi and Ye Yu.

Ye Yu stood there stunned, never expecting that the person who should have been in Beijing, thousands of miles away, would fly back.

Jinzhi walked up to him, her eyes shining brightly with a smile.

"Surprise! Happy birthday, Ye Yu! Happy birthday to you and to me too! Let's make a wish and blow out the candles together!"

Ye Yu's eyes welled up with tears. He and Jin Zhi made a wish together and blew out their twenty-fourth birthday candles.

He placed the cake on the table, hugged her tightly, and a thousand words stuck in his throat, leaving him speechless for a moment.

After a long while, his voice choked slightly.

"Thank you, my wife, and happy birthday to you too."

Thank you everyone.

Jinzhi hugged him back.

"The cake was made by Yang's mother herself. She said that her family was not well-off in the past and had never been able to buy you a birthday cake, but she finally made up for it today."

Ye Yu felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Jinzhi and his family had made up for what he had never had before.

"I'm so happy, thank you, my wife. I will always remember this day."

Jinzhi patted his back.

"If you like it, that's good."

The chandelier was turned on, illuminating the living room decorated with ribbons and flowers, and everyone moved to the dining room.

Zhao Xijin whispered to Zhang Lulu, "Ye Yu has never eaten a birthday cake in his life? That's a bit pitiful."

Zhou Yinche interjected, "No matter how pitiful he is, he's not as pitiful as you working-class people."

Zhang Lulu smiled: "Small mouth, if you can't speak, you can just close your mouth."

A variety of dishes were laid out on the long dining table.

Zhou Yinche asked, "Ye Yu, you didn't expect Jin Xiaozhi to fly back, did you? Aren't you incredibly touched?"

Ye Yu hummed in agreement and asked her, "Are you done with work?"

"Hmm, I worked overtime last night. This is our first birthday together, so I had to come back no matter what."

"You've worked so hard, honey. You're so good to me."

"Alright, let's eat and have some cake. Today is a happy day."

She warned in a low voice, "Don't cry in front of everyone, it'll be undignified."

He muttered, "Okay."
