"Sweetie, make a wish and blow out your candles." As told, Ye Lee Ai closed her eyes and made a silent wish before blowing out the candles. The party continued family games, eating, drinking and jollying. It was the best birthday she could ask for.
Now it was time for her to open the presents everyone brought for her. In the first gift box, from Mrs Yang, was a music box that had a prince and a princess waltzing to the music. The other was from Mr and Mrs Li. They gifted her a pretty doll house. The other was from her grandparents. They gifted her fairy tales and colour books. Li Fengjin and Yang Chen gave her a puzzle book and a bracelet. Yang Wenkai gifted her a locket that had the picture of Ye Lee Ai and Ye Chaoxiang. She loved them all.
Ye Chaoxiang was the last. Squatting in front of her with a smile, he presented a big box accompanied by a smaller one. They were wrapped in red and gold gift wrappers. The celebrant excitedly yet carefully, unwrapped the gifts. In the bigger box, there was a white polar teddy bear that had a red scarf around its neck.
"Aaahhh!! I love it. Thanks daddy, thanks," Ye Lee Ai squealed and hugged Ye Chaoxiang.
"You are welcome. Open the other one and tell me if you like it," he said nervously. In the smaller box was an iPad that had a blue and gold stripe pouch. "Woah. You got me an iPad? This is awesome and beautiful. Thanks you daddy. I love it, muah" she pecked him on his cheek.
"Then I am glad you liked it. Now say thanks to your grangpas and grandmas for their gifts to you."
"Thank you all very much. I will cherish your gift forever. I love all of them," she bowed respectfully.
"There is no need for formal thanks. You are precious to us all," Mrs Li spoke up and eryone agreed to her words.

It was five o'clock in the morning in City S. The clouds were barely bright as the sun had yet to be woken from its slumber. A pair of blue eyes opened groggily. Xiaojin rubbed his eyes with his cute little hands as he yawned without a care. He turned to his right to find his mother sleeping soundly.
He could not sleep as his body and mind wanted to be awake. He whimpered lowly as he slides down the bed. He was pressed and needed to pee. The light from the moon gave him enough light to see himself to the bathroom.
Although he would have preferred his mother to accompany him rather than the silent night, but he did not want to wake her up. After easing himself, he climbed up the bed with the help of a stool beside the bed.
"Mummy, mummy," he called but there was no reply. He crawled closer to her and used his little hands to tap her face. Bai Renxiang was still to tired to wake up. Xiaojin soon began to sob. As a baby who understood almost nothing, it was normal for him to cry when his mother was not waking up.
Hearing faint sobs from beside her, Bai Renxiang's eyes opened as she turned to the sobbing source. She patted her son's head lovingly. "Baby, what is wrong? You could not sleep?" She asked.
"Mummy... wake," he said. Bai Renxiang understood his words. She was awake when he first called her but she was too tired to open her eyes. "Mummy will not sleep anymore, okay? Now stop crying and let us get you cleaned up," she wiped his tears and took him to the bathroom.
After the mother and son pair were done, Bai Renxiang walked out of the room with him and her sling bag and a file in her hands to help her dinning room.
"Good morning mum. How was your night?" She greeted her mother who was sipping a glass of milk on the table.
"Good morning dear. My night was fine. O made pancakes for breakfast," Jiang Meilin said.
"Mama...up," Xiaojin stretched his arms to Jiang Meilin for her to carry him. "Good morning my child. I am sure your night was fine because you have a bright smile on your handsomely cute face," she said as she tickled him.
"I will go and make oats for him. Be right back," Bai Renxiang went into the kitchen and spoon came out with a little bowl of oatmeal for Xiaojin to eat. The little family aye their breakfast in peace and harmony.
"So little Ren, have you told Shane about your interview so that he would drive you there and back?"
"Yes, mum. I have forty minutes till the interview. If I go now, I will get there on ten minutes early. Shane should be hear any minute from now." Just then the door bell rang. "He is here," Bai Renxiang opened the door for him.
"Good morning, young- I mean sister Renxiang. Good morning madam," he greeted.
"Good morning to you too. Make sure to take care of my daughter well and drive safely," Jiang Meilin cautioned.
Thirty minutes later, Shane pulled over beside a tall building, standing in its full glory. She heard from one of the customers that buys groceries that the company was opened for job application. So she decided to apply and there she was, standing at the front of Emperor's Enterprise.
"Goodluck sis. I will be waiting here for you. Go in there and kill that interview," Shane wished her with a smile.
"Thanks alot. I will see you later." She took in deep breaths and walked confidently into the building.
