Hearing footsteps, Pei Ziheng turned around and his dark eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Shen Mingzhu. He then got up and ran towards her.
"Mommy."
Shen Mingzhu squatted down to embrace him, her voice gentle and full of concern, "Why haven't you gone to sleep yet? Aren't you tired?"
"Mhmm."
Pei Ziheng rubbed his little head against her neck, like some adorable young animal, filled with dependence and trust for her.
"Mommy, I had a really happy birthday today, extremely happy."
Shen Mingzhu's hand gently stroked his tender spine, "As long as you're happy, mom's efforts in preparing the celebration weren't in vain."
Pei Ziheng hugged her tightly, his youthful voice filled with shy joy, "Mommy, thank you, thank you for being my mommy. I love you so much, forever and always."
"Mommy loves you too, very, very much."
"I will work hard in the future, earn a lot of money, and be filial to you."
