After being reborn, I raised my childhood sweetheart.

Chapter 52 Xu Yuan's Birthday (Please read on, please vote with monthly tickets~)

He Xiaona resigned the day after the annual meeting. When she was settling her salary, Xu Jingguang gave her an extra 2,000 yuan in his personal capacity, which He Xiaona accepted without hesitation.

As for what happened at the annual meeting, the hotel staff had various opinions, but a few days later, Lin Feng from the hotel's finance department also submitted his resignation to Xu Jingguang.

My colleague told me that he is going to Shanghai to make a name for himself and make a name for himself there.

In Xu Yuan's view, it is a good thing for young people to have ambitions, but the fear is that they will get involved in things they shouldn't, such as wanting to marry a woman who is not a good match for them, and then it will be too late to regret it.

Two people suddenly left the finance department. This unexpected personnel change made Sister Zhang, who had originally planned to resign after the New Year, consider staying instead.

Perhaps they heard the truth somewhere and expressed their approval of Xu Jingguang's handling of He Xiaona, or perhaps they simply felt that there was nothing wrong with keeping her. The storm has temporarily subsided, and everyone has returned to their ordinary lives of waiting for the New Year.

Saying goodbye to the stepmother who brought disaster to the family, for Xu Yuan, perhaps this is the beginning of a true rebirth.

But more importantly, it made him rediscover his elderly father—

He usually appears to be a calm, pragmatic, and unpretentious hotel owner.

But deep inside him lives a sensitive and lonely young man.

Longing to be understood, missing those who have passed away.

It seems that men in China are always unable to show their vulnerable side to others.

Everyone believes that a man should be upright and strong, the pillar of his family, and always be full of energy.

This puts a lot of pressure on men.

Therefore, support from family becomes especially important.

……

To be honest, Xu Yuan had said a lot of complaints to Xu Jingguang in the past. Later, as he grew up and became busy with work, there was almost no communication between father and son.

Therefore, I really need to give my old father more love and care in this lifetime.

On the way to school, Xu Yuan touched his father's head.

Xu Jingguang frowned slightly. "What are you doing?"

"Dad, you're not so busy anymore, are you?"

Xu Yuan said, "Is there anywhere you want to go recently, or any social gatherings you need to attend? I can go with you."

"Dad is fine now, you don't need to treat him like this, it feels weird..."

As Xu Jingguang was speaking, he suddenly felt a gentle patting motion on the back of his head.

Xia Ke, sitting in the back seat, also patted him and smiled as she looked back at Xu Jingguang, saying:

"It's alright, Uncle Xu, you don't need to be so polite with us."

Xia Ke said, "If you encounter anything sad, remember to tell us. My dad is like that. When he suffers grievances at work, he cries in my mom's arms."

"After all, Uncle Xu, you don't have a wife now, so you're relying on us kids, right?"

"Well... thank you, Uncle."

Xu Jingguang immediately changed the subject, "By the way, your dad looks so tall and imposing, but he actually does this kind of thing?"

Xia Ke nodded, "Sometimes Daddy will lie in Mommy's arms and call for her, wanting her to comfort him!"

"Ake, don't talk about these kinds of things in the family outside."

Xu Jingguang tried hard to suppress his smile, "If your dad knew, he would definitely feel very embarrassed. I feel quite sorry for him."

"It's alright, Uncle Xu, you don't need to feel sorry for him."

Xia Ke waved her hand with a smile and said, "I told my parents about you getting drunk at the company party and being carried home by Aunt Lin. My dad teased you for a long time, saying you can't hold your liquor at all, and if he were drinking, he wouldn't be able to get drunk." "Okay... alright." Xu Jingguang shook his head with a smile, while Xu Yuan pinched Xia Ke's cheek and said, "Your mouth is so open, you can't keep it shut. Why do you tell everyone?"

"No, no! I only share interesting things with my family."

Xia Ke muttered, "Because everyone will be happy if I tell them!"

"It's okay, Yuanyuan, don't blame Ake. I think she's doing great, that's why she's our source of joy."

Xu Jingguang has a really good temper.

"Hmph, did you hear that? Uncle Xu is on my side, you idiot young master! You dare to pinch my cheek? I'll pinch you back, I'll pinch you—"

Xia Ke reached out to pinch Xu Yuan's cheek, but Xu Yuan immediately picked up Lin Yueyao, who was watching with a smile, to shield her from the attack. The children were having a great time making a ruckus in the back seat of the car.

"Oh right, Yuanyuan, next Saturday is your 9th lunar birthday. Do you want any toys or anything else? Daddy will buy them for you."

Upon hearing the word "birthday," Xia Ke and Lin Yueyao immediately became serious. "Next Saturday... then we'll both be on winter break!"

"Yes, Yuanyuan's birthday is usually celebrated after winter vacation starts."

……

"I don't really have anything in particular that I want..."

Seeing the expectant looks in Xia Ke and Lin Yueyao's eyes, Xu Yuan changed his mind and said, "There's no rush, let me think about it some more."

“Last year, Dad and the hotel staff celebrated your birthday with you. This year you’ve made some new friends, so how about we have a birthday party or something? Dad can prepare it for you in advance.”

"No need for a big celebration, just a simple birthday party at home, buy a birthday cake, and then—"

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "You two stop staring at me like that. I will definitely invite you two. I will invite you two good friends to participate."

"Yay! I want to go to the young master's birthday party!"

"I would also like to invite Aunt Lin to participate."

Xu Yuan said, "Aunt Lin is so good to me, I can't not invite her on my birthday."

When Lin Yueyao heard Xu Yuan thinking about his mother, she pursed her lips and lowered her head, feeling sweeter than if she had eaten honey.

Xia Ke then tugged at Xu Yuan's sleeve, "Then, can my mom and dad come too?"

"dad?"

“Yuanyuan, you can make the decision. Dad will support you.”

Xu Jingguang clearly felt that Xu Yuan had become much more respectful of him than before, as if he had returned to the way he used to be, relying on his father.

Xu Jingguang was in a good mood, feeling that wonderful feeling of being a father was back.

"Then... why don't you call your mom and dad over?"

Xu Yuan was naturally willing to invite Xia Ke's parents. After all, the most important thing about childhood sweethearts is that their parents have known each other since childhood and have a good relationship. That's what gives them that innocent feeling of childhood sweethearts.

Moreover, as long as I act intimately with Xia Ke in front of Xia Lei, I can give Xia Lei a special training in the mindset of a victim, so that if I really kidnap his daughter in the future, he probably won't feel so bad, right?
When everyone arrived at school and got off the bus, Xia Ke and Lin Yueyao said goodbye to Xu Yuan at the gate. The two held hands and carried their schoolbags to the classroom. Xia Ke skipped and jumped around, while Lin Yueyao was thinking about something with her head down. Suddenly, she pulled her back.

"Um, Ake."

Lin Yueyao thought for a long time before saying to Xia Ke, "It's Yuan-gege's birthday this year. He always takes such good care of us, so let's prepare a birthday gift for him too, shall we?"

"Okay, okay!"

Xia Ke nodded vigorously, "Then let's think together about what the young master likes!"

　A new week has begun, please give me lots of monthly votes!
