-37- Xinxin's secret birthday wish

ZHAN'S POV

Now there are only three weeks left until Xinxin's fourth birthday. And to keep the peace in our house, I gave in and agreed to the birthday party at the ice rink. Even though I'm actually against it.

But it's her birthday, and if she wants it that badly, then I'll gladly give in. And because it will also be the first time that Yibo celebrates her birthday, this day will be bigger than planned.

And the day will be big anyway. A few days ago my daughter told me her secret birthday wish. I was really amazed at what she wished for.

Not some toys, new clothes that she wanted like everything else, she had always wanted, supposedly. No, she has a wish that comes from her heart.

Xinxin sat with me in her room and we played with her dolls when I asked her about her wish. Instead of telling me first, she took two of her male dolls and showed them to me.

I asked her what she wanted to tell me. Then she put her hands on my cheeks and whispered, "I want you to marry my dad." I looked at her questioningly and asked myself how she came up with this idea.

"Xinxin, why do you want me to marry Dad on your birthday? Is this coming from Dad?"

"No, Daddy. This is what I wish for."

"And why? It's your birthday. The day is yours."

"I think it's beautiful. Then we can always celebrate together. And then I can tell everyone that my daddy and my dad are finally married. Just like Yuan's moms. And when Yuan and I grow up, we will get married on my birthday, too."

She really left me speechless. I mean okay, her marriage plans with Yuan haven't changed and even Yuan is always talking about marrying my little Xinxin.

They played wedding games in kindergarten. The girls had to come in white dresses and the boys in suits.

My little one wore a white dress and looked like a little princess, dressed as a bride. Several boys wanted to marry her that day. But Yuan chased them all away and gave Xinxin a ring. They got married before the kindergarten group.

When I saw the videos of it, I could just cry. Just the idea that one day when my Xinxin is grown up, she will marry and then she will not be my little girl anymore, kills me. But I also look forward to that day.

And I'm curious if she will really end up with Yuan. Because somehow she reminds me more and more of me and Yibo back then. It is also amazing how great the protective instinct of Yuan is against Xinxin. He guards her like a treasure, just like Yibo guarded me back then and also took care of me.

I asked Xinxin if I should ask Dad if we should get married on her birthday. And Xinxin said, "No Daddy. We'll surprise him. Just like he surprised you. I'm sure he'll be very happy."

"Okay, but your birthday's in three weeks. Planning a wedding takes time."

"But not if everyone helps Daddy. I'll help you too."

"Ah haha. Okay baby, I'll think about it. I promise."

I couldn't get rid of the thought all day. Then when Yibo was in her room with Xinxin and read her the three stories to her, I called Jiang Cheng and told him about Xinxin's wish.

"And what's the problem? I can register online and then I can marry you guys. And when you order the birthday cake for Xinxin, you just order one more cake. A lot of your relatives are coming anyway. And the rest you can call." He said it to me on the phone.
