"Mommy, don't worry, I know!" Shen Jinxi replied obediently. He suddenly remembered something and took out his watch to check the date. "Oh no, my brother's birthday is in a few days, and it's also Daddy's birthday!"
Shen Qingqing was surprised. "How do you know your dad's birthday?"
"Great-Grandmother told me!"
Shen Jinxi slapped his forehead in annoyance. "Actually, I should have thought of this sooner!"
He cast a resentful glance at Chenchen.
It was all because his brother had been keeping a close eye on him lately, insisting that he finish the homework assigned by his teacher. Every time he painted, he lost all track of time, completely unaware of the day or night. It was already difficult enough to remember his brother's birthday.
Shen Qingqing rubbed the little guy's head and looked at Chenchen. His face also showed annoyance, clearly indicating that Chenchen should have known about Daddy's birthday even earlier than Xixi.
But even he had forgotten!
Seeing the two little ones so distressed, Shen Qingqing felt both heartache and relief. "It's not your fault. Even I almost forgot your daddy's birthday. If you really want to make it up to him, how about thinking of a gift?"
"A gift..."
Shen Jinxi and Chenchen exchanged glances and fell into deep thought.
Shen Qingqing smiled and turned to look out the window.
The car soon stopped at the hotel entrance. The two children rushed inside eagerly, and the assistant manager was the first to emerge as usual.
Seeing the two children, he asked, "Which of these two is the birthday boy?"
The two children looked exactly alike and were dressed identically, with only a subtle difference in their hair. However, this difference was only noticeable to Shen Qingqing. To the assistant manager, these twins were practically clones.
Shen Qingqing patted Chenchen's head. "This one is the birthday boy. Little birthday boy, go and take a look at the party venue. If you're satisfied, we'll have the birthday party here."
"Okay!"
Chenchen, holding Shen Jinxi's hand, walked towards the garden under the guidance of the assistant manager.
The assistant manager looked at the two children walking in unison ahead. "Mrs. Fu, forgive my presumption, but how do you tell the two children apart?"
Shen Qingqing chuckled. "I'm their mother."
Except for the first time she saw Chenchen's face and mistook him for Xixi, she had never misidentified the children in any subsequent encounters.
It wasn't just because their personalities were different; eyes are the windows to the soul and a channel for expressing one's disposition. All she had to do was glance at a child's eyes to know which was Xixi and which was Chenchen.
The assistant manager looked at her with admiration. "That's amazing. With such twins at home, you must be an object of envy for other ladies and madams."
Shen Qingqing shrugged.
She wasn't sure if they envied her, as she didn't interact much with those wealthy ladies.
"At least the bosses I do business with are quite envious of me."
Business bosses...
Hearing this, the assistant manager realized that this woman was different from other wealthy wives. She didn't engage in activities like playing cards, shopping, or gossiping, but rather in the real world that men conquered.
His attitude towards Shen Qingqing became even more respectful.
After inspecting the venue, Chenchen was very satisfied. Although the little one wasn't very eloquent, he expressed his likes and dislikes clearly. "Mommy, let's have the birthday party here."
"Alright."
Shen Qingqing then looked at Shen Jinxi. "Your birthdays are on the same day, so this birthday party is for both of you. Xixi, you don't mind, do you?"
In previous years, for Xixi's birthday, she would take him on trips, to places he loved, to do things he enjoyed, and eat his favorite foods.
But this year, Chenchen had just recovered from a serious illness. Although he seemed fine, no one knew if something might happen if he were exposed to so many people.
Ultimately, it was Xixi who had to compromise for Chenchen.
Seeing the guilt in Shen Qingqing's eyes, Shen Jinxi tilted his head. "Of course not! Mommy has decorated this birthday party so beautifully, and I get to celebrate my birthday with my brother, oh, and Daddy too!"
He made a large circle with his hands.
"I'm this happy right now. I hope our family can always be together!"
Shen Qingqing smiled with relief. "We will. We will always be together."
The recreational facilities here were incredibly enticing for the children, and the brothers couldn't resist. They held hands and ran off to play.
Shen Qingqing asked, "Have the safety checks been completed?"
The assistant manager immediately replied, "Don't worry, Mrs. Fu. All the facilities here are made of the strongest and safest materials, and I have people checking them daily. You can let the two young masters play with peace of mind."
Shen Qingqing nodded slightly and watched the two children run around happily. A faint smile touched her lips. "Later, if the children have any requests, please try your best to accommodate them."
Surprise flickered across the assistant manager's face. "Don't worry, I will cooperate fully!"
After playing for a while, the two children were sweaty, tired, and thirsty. Shen Jinxi pulled Chenchen and ran to a rest pavilion on the left to get some drinks.
There were many kinds of beverages displayed under a large parasol.
The assistant manager glanced at the sun. "Mrs. Fu, please rest assured, these drinks are all safe. I considered that this birthday party is for two young masters, and they probably wouldn't like things like wine glasses. So, I specifically prepared bottled drinks that are cute and easy to hold."
"You did well."
The sun was a bit strong overhead, so Shen Qingqing took a step back and stood in the shade of a building. Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
Shen Qingqing nodded to the manager and walked aside to take the call.
"Jing Shu."
As she spoke his name, the expression on her face instantly softened.
Suddenly, a deafening crash came from behind!
In that instant, Shen Qingqing's back went cold. Clutching her phone, she spun around fiercely, only to see the large parasol that had provided coolness for the two children had collapsed.
The parasol was heavy and cumbersome, and for aesthetic reasons, it was adorned with many decorations, many of which were made of glass and had shattered on the ground.
And the two children were nowhere to be seen, meaning they were likely crushed under the large umbrella!
Shen Qingqing rushed towards them without hesitation.
But as she reached the edge of the umbrella, she suddenly heard a heavenly voice.
"Mommy."
Shen Qingqing's head snapped around. She saw Shen Jinxi and Chenchen standing under a nearby umbrella, with the assistant manager standing behind the two children.
"Mrs. Fu, please don't worry. The two young masters are fine."
Shen Qingqing rushed forward and hugged the two children, feeling a sense of profound relief as if they had been found after being lost. Her voice trembled slightly. "You scared me to death... Thank goodness you're alright..."
