Chapter 213: Her Daughter Was Always Loveable to Her
The colorful party setups and merry music greeted Leslie and Calix once they alighted the vehicle. He carefully put her on the wheelchair before pushing her forward, meeting the eyes of Director Li and everyone else.
"Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Xu," Director Li’s beaming smile expressed her joy for today’s celebration. Placing her eyes on Calix, she said, "And, happy birthday, Mr. Xu. May your life be blessed always."
While Director Li was welcoming Calix and Leslie, the children kept staring at the spouses. They clammed their lips shut, a few covered their mouths with both hands, holding back from talking.
"Thank you, Director Li. Let me introduce you to my wife. Oh!" Calix exclaimed, recalling something. Shifting his eyes from the middle-aged woman, he swept his gaze toward the children, "Hello, all. Wanna see my beautiful wife?"
Calix’s words stunned Leslie. Blinking, the warm blush crept in her cheeks before spreading down to her neck. She smiled sheepishly at Director Li and the children.
"Hello, Director Li, children... It’s a pleasure to see you..."
Leslie quietly greeted the older woman and the little turnip heads. She didn’t notice how mellow Calix’s gaze on her was.
"Oh~ Uncle’s wife is beautiful oh~"
"Granny, Uncle Calix’s wife looks like a fairy, right?"
"Pretty Aunty, what’s your name? My name is Ryan."
Before Director Li could reply to Leslie’s greeting, the children started talking nonstop. They moved forward, trying to get closer to Calix and Leslie. Their actions earned laughter from the spouses.
