Birthday Banquet (30)

"I don't think so… I hope they won't come," Huo Mian said gently and touched Pudding's head.

"Why not? My sister and I miss Grandpa and Auntie."

Pudding was a thoughtful girl and never asked impertinent or useless questions, but this time she looked hopeful.

After all, her mommy had only one birthday each year.

Grandpa and Auntie loved Mommy and should come and celebrate her birthday, right?

"Because if they came, they'd be in danger; many bad guys are trying to catch them. The bad guys are watching Mommy's birthday party right now. If your grandpa and auntie came, they'd draw the bad guys' attention."

"I'll ask Dad to get rid of the bad guys."

Huo Mian smiled tenderly, thinking how simple the world was in the eyes of the kids, even for a kid as smart as Pudding.
