Chapter 347: Confession at the Birthday Banquet 10

The children had secretly admired the beautifully printed invitations several times, and this was the first time they had been invited cautiously, as if they were invited to adults. Even if it's Zhou Tianci's birthday, he hasn't sent an invitation like this.

They are not as suspicious as Xiaobai, and they all believe beyond doubt that Xiaobai's father will invite everyone to a big dinner tonight.

"Xiaobai, is your father customizing the invitation for you, will it be expensive?"

"Xiaobai, what does your father do?"

"Xiaobai, are you invited to your house tonight?"

"But, Xiaobai, I remember the last time I went to your house, I didn't see your father. Besides, your house is so small that it can seat so many of us?"

“......”

The children gossiped, Qiao Xiaobai was uneasy, and her little heart began to be nervous again.

Daddy, don't show up.

Fortunately, when I saw my father standing at the school gate from afar, the child's little heart immediately relaxed, and the little butterfly flew over: "Dad...... Daddy......"

Xiang Xi picked her up, "Xiaobai, are all the classmates invited?"

"Please. ”

Yi Xiangxi saw twenty or thirty children behind him, but he didn't see Zhou Tianci.

"Come on, kids, come here......"

There were two nannies and aunts who came with them, and they deliberately followed to take care of the children and count the number of people.

Xiaobai immediately looked around, but didn't see Sister Mai, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes, and his voice was lowered: "Dad...... Sister Mai disagrees?"

"Sister Mai agreed, don't worry. I'll give Sister Mai a call...... Listen......"

The phone was connected, he gave the mobile phone to the child, and in the microphone, Qiao Mai's voice was very calm: "Xiaobai, you are obedient, let Uncle Yi celebrate your birthday tonight, you can play with your classmates, listen to Uncle Yi's words......"

"Sister Mai...... Sister Mai...... Won't you come with me? Sister Mai, come on, I'll ask Dad to pick you up, okay?"

The child's voice was eager, full of strong anticipation, and it was really a very difficult thing for Qiao Mai to harden his heart and refuse. However, she gritted her teeth and still stubbornly said: "Xiaobai is obedient, I have to work overtime tonight, I have urgent business, and I can't come to accompany you......"

"Sister Mai......"

There was obvious disappointment in the child's voice, mixed with deep unease.

She knew that Sister Mai didn't work overtime today, didn't she say in advance that she would take leave to play with her? Over the years, no matter how busy she was at work, as long as Xiaobai had a birthday, she would always take half a day off to spend with her. This is the first time she told her a lie about working overtime on Xiaobai's birthday.

Adults should not always lie in front of their children and speak unscrupulously, but ask children to be honest and upright and good people. Over the years, Qiao Mai has rarely lied to children, so this time it was extremely embarrassing to say it.

"Xiaobai is obedient......" she couldn't help but soften her voice, "Xiaobai, you have a good time, at half past nine, I'll pick you ......up."

Xiaobai was a little happier when she heard that she would pick herself up.

"Sister Mai, can you come early?"

"That ......"

"Come at nine, okay?"

“......”

She couldn't bear to refuse the child again, "Xiaobai is obedient, I will do my best to pick you up." ”

Yi Xiangxi listened to their mother and daughter talking on the side, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart, but he couldn't bear to let his daughter be disappointed, so he picked up his mobile phone, and deliberately smiled very happily to coax her: "Sister Mai is working overtime, let's keep all the good things, and we won't cut the cake until she comes to pick you up, okay?"
