Rubbing together was only most appropriate given that it was very cold and late into the night.
That said, Mu Qiqi was really too tired and could barely mouth the words. "No, Xiaoxiao… stop…"
Sheng Xiao only spared her when he saw that she was really spent.
And by the next morning, Mu Qiqi received many messages wishing her a happy birthday on her phone, including Qianqian's, her aunt's, Grandpa Shen's, and Shen Jianchuan's.
Mu Qiqi thanked every single one of them, while making plans to visit her father and return to the Shen family's home for lunch. Later at night, she would be holding a small gathering at Jing Ting's garden as well.
"That way, Jing Yun and Fourth Sister could have some time together, and I get to meet Qianqian. It's been so long since I last saw her…"
"It's your birthday. Anything you say goes."
"Then I'll have Aunt Wu put a Christmas tree in the garden…"
