Chapter 977: Chapter 977: The Discarded Toy

"Talk about it." Chen Cui said, "Look, Zhilan is younger than you and she already has a son. Although you are a few years younger than me, you should also hurry up and get on with it."

Before the meal started, Li Qian had already arrived at Chen Cui’s house, just like everyone else. As soon as he entered the door, the sorrow of heartbreak was swept away, and he was extremely attentive to Chen Cui, saying that he wouldn’t have to worry about going hungry with a colleague like Chen Cui around.

Chen Cui’s son was already over six years old. Knowing that his mother was pregnant with a little baby, he wasn’t at all afraid that his brother or sister would vie for affection with him; instead, he was really looking forward to having a pretty little sister.

The little guy wasn’t shy around strangers either; knowing that He Zhilan had a son who was just a few months old, he became very close to her and insisted that He Zhilan must bring her adorable little brother next time to keep him company.

A group of people ate hot pot and chatted while the three guys also drank a bit. It wasn’t until almost two o’clock that everyone broke up, and the three women, Chen Cui, Wang Juan, and He Zhilan, went shopping in the blazing sun.

"Fan Guiling is really missing out, she took a few days off to go back to her hometown; our lunchtime hot pot was so satisfying!" Wang Juan, with He Zhilan on her left and Chen Cui on her right, simply linked arms with them, "Shall we go to the mall? Just in time, I’m about to run out of lipstick and need to buy a new one."

He Zhilan shrugged her shoulders, indifferent much. At least, the mall was cooler than the street.

"Oh, I really envy our Zhilan. So young, and look at that skin, it’s like you could squeeze water out of it, so white and tender." While talking, Wang Juan directly patted He Zhilan’s face ceaselessly, even encouraging Chen Cui to join in and feel the youthfulness.

"Enough already, I’m younger no more, and I don’t have the looks like Zhilan does. You, just lower your hands and spare our Zhilan," Chen Cui said, finding He Zhilan’s exasperated expression amusing.

"It does seem to make sense when you put it that way." Wang Juan raised her eyebrows and didn’t continue to tease He Zhilan. She lowered her hands and everyone entered the mall together.

At this time, it wasn’t the weekend, so there weren’t many people in the mall, and some sales staff were even dozing off at the counters.

"Speaking of which, it’s my son’s birthday in a few days. Would you guys like to come to my place and join the fun? Zhilan, bring your son too~ My son really likes little babies now," Chen Cui said, "I don’t have many relatives in the city, and he likes it better when there are lots of people around on his birthday."

"Sure." The first to respond was Wang Juan, "I shouldn’t be too busy with work these days. We’ll see when Lin sister and the others will come. Maybe our entire community could go over to your place for a meal!"

"Then that’s a deal!" Chen Cui was delighted to hear this, "If Lin sister can make it back, that would be fantastic, and my place will truly be lively!"

"Then let’s first go take a look at the toy section and buy a birthday gift for your son. We aunts can’t just go there to eat and drink for free, right?" Wang Juan looked at He Zhilan and said, "Remember to bring your precious son along next time, he’s a few months old now, it won’t hurt to get him to recognize some faces."

He Zhilan just smiled and didn’t say much, so the two took it as her agreement.

Chen Cui, hearing the two wanted to buy a birthday gift for her son, did not refuse at all and straightforwardly reported what her son liked, laughing, "Just make sure it’s the biggest one!"
