Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Don’t Be Too Happy

Translator: 549690339

It was a message from her Little Baby.

Little Baby wasn’t asleep at this hour and had sent her something? Rong Yan, curious, clicked to open the video.

A pretty little face that could melt hearts appeared on the screen, “Mom.”

The beautiful toddler seemed a bit shy but still managed to put on a cute, kitten-like smile and sang in a sweet, milky voice, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~”

The sweet, soft singing accompanied by his super cute expression made the corners of Rong Yan’s mouth rise unconsciously. She wished he were right in front of her so she could hug and kiss him all she wanted.

Ding ding.

Another message popped in, again from her Little Baby—[Mommy, happy birthday]!

There was an incredibly cute emoji attached to it.

Rong Yan took a deep breath and hugged her phone to her chest. What should she do? She really wanted to rush to Little Baby’s side and give him a big hug.

Both her big one and little one were too adorable!

Today was the happiest birthday she’d ever had since she was a child!

Rong Yan’s smile soared; words couldn’t describe her current elation. Humming a tune, she took her phone, getting ready to take a shower. That’s when Lin Xinbei’s call came in.

She pulled open the bedroom door with one hand while balancing the phone against her ear, “Hello.”

“Little Demon Rong, is it your birthday today?” Lin Xinbei’s booming voice nearly burst her eardrum.

Rong Yan shifted position, taking the phone in her hand to listen more comfortably, “Please, where are you, why is it so noisy?”

The sounds coming from his end were too loud, like he was in a bar or someplace similar.

“Hold on a second.”

Soon, it sounded like he had moved away from the noisy place to the outside. The background noise from the other end of the phone suddenly lessened significantly.

“There, it’s not noisy now, right? I’m asking you, is it your birthday today?”

“Yes, it is. What’s up? If it’s nothing important, I’m hanging up.” Rong Yan opened the wardrobe and rummaged for some clothes to change into after her shower, wondering what she might do afterward.

She was too excited this evening and felt a bit sleepless this early.

But Little Baby wasn’t home, so she couldn’t possibly play with Baby or go to the study to disturb Li Shengxiao, SO…

Perhaps it was a sort of telepathy, but the person on the other end of the phone grunted disapprovingly, “I took time out of my busy schedule to remember it was your birthday today and to give you a call. And this is the gratitude I get?”

Rong Yan, speechless, took her pajamas out of the wardrobe, rolled her eyes, and spoke while holding the phone, “…For heaven’s sake, today is my birthday, and I haven’t even complained about your attitude yet. And you have the nerve to complain about mine.”

He seemed not even to have wished her happy birthday, and yet he dared say the call was specifically for her birthday.

“So what is it then? If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up.”

“Damn it, can’t I call you if there’s nothing wrong?” Lin Xinbei’s voice was full of dissatisfaction.

Rong Yan tossed her clothes on the bed, massaged her throbbing temples, and sat down on the bed, exhausted, “Brother, are you going to talk or not? If not, I’m taking a shower! It’s late at night; not everyone is as energetic as you!”

“Should I remind you that it’s only nine o’clock in the evening? Have you been stealing cattle all day, that you’re so tired?” Lin Xinbei went on and on until something suddenly occurred to him, “Wait, it’s your birthday today. Could it be that…”
