After riding for a while, Li Qiao returned quietly.

The two children were carried off the horse. When they looked back, Li Qiao was still standing there, as if he had never moved.

After experiencing the joy of horse riding, they were eager to share this joy with their mother, so they ran forward without looking back, wanting to run to their mother.

By the time Caius turned around, the two children had already run away for a long distance.

He chuckled, caught up with them in a few steps, grabbed the back of one of their collars with one hand, and successfully "blocked" their steps.

"Uncle! What are you doing?"

Little Li Yao pulled at his arm but couldn't move it, so he looked at him sullenly.

"Uncle...I have something else to tell you."

He murmured the word "uncle". For him, it was nothing to call himself uncle.

"What is it?"

"Do you like the little red horse?"

"like."

"Well, then, they are yours."

"what?"

His light words made the two children freeze in place.

After a long while, Li Yao reacted first and looked at him coldly, "We don't need it."

"Tsk... so formal?" Caius scratched his head in distress.

As he said this, he suddenly grinned and said, "No, I will give it to you."

Like a willful ghost.

Li Yao labeled him like this in his heart.

childish!

"Whatever." He turned his head away, "Let us go, you're strangling me."

In fact, he was lying. Caius's force was very light and he didn't strangle him.

"Really? Then I'll let go."

Caius seemed very nervous and immediately loosened his grip on the back of the child's collar.

However, before Li Yao started to move forward, he suddenly felt himself "taking off into the air".

Yes, he was held.

The man held a child in each hand, holding them firmly, and walked towards Li Qiao.

When little Li Yao saw that he didn’t have to walk anymore, he kicked his legs and lay on the man’s shoulder and calmed down.

Li Yao always felt that something was wrong and wanted to struggle, but the man held him very tightly. When he looked forward, he was almost there and stopped moving.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat?"

He smiled and asked Li Qiao openly. Where the two children couldn't see, he winked at Li Qiao with a hint of meaning.

He is a very familiar man.

Li Qiao evaluated him in his heart.

"Okay, let's go."

As he said that, Li Qiao tried to take the child, but the man dodged by moving sideways.

"Don't worry, I'm not tired, I can carry them over."

Li Qiao: “...Oh.” In fact, she was not worried about whether the man was tired or not.

He also prepared lunch.

A good gentleman will prepare everything and will not make the lady tired.

The table could seat four people, two people on each side. He put the two little ones on the two seats opposite each other, and then sat down next to Li Qiao.

Li Yao saw him sitting there, staring at the man's face that looked a bit annoying.

What are you laughing at?

"I want to sit there." He pointed to Caius's seat, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Caius looked at him silently. After two seconds, he stood up and walked around the table to offer him a seat. He bent down and touched his head, "Okay kid, it's yours."

His voice was gentle, tickling Li Yao's ears. He pushed him away with a tight mouth, "Don't get so close, okay? I need some fresh air."

Little devil, you are shy...

Caius just smiled and said nothing, then stepped aside to make way.

After finally sitting down, it’s time to order.

There were four menus, one for each person. Li Qiao flipped through two pages at random, ordered a dish at random, and then closed the menu.

"No favorite?"

Caius hadn't touched the menu in front of him. Seeing that Li Qiao didn't seem interested, he thought she didn't like it.

"No, it's fine."

Caius knew she was just trying to please him, but he still smiled and said, "The puddings here are delicious. You can have a taste."

He seems to have no temper and looks particularly gentle.

"Okay, thank you." Li Qiao paused, "Also, thank you for the gifts you prepared for them."

"it's my honour."

The adults were talking while the two children were concentrating on the menu. Little Li Yao and Caius had similar tastes, both liked sweet food, but Li Yao was a little more complicated, he didn't have a favorite taste, except for vegetables, everything else was fine.

Order, serve, eat...

It looked like an ordinary dinner party.

After eating and drinking, Li Yao was about to tell Caius that they could go back to their homes and say goodbye, but Caius suddenly stood up and said, "Sorry, I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."

When he came back, he was holding two large objects, which looked like large square photo frames.

When I looked closer, I realized it was really a large photo frame.

Two oil paintings.

He showed it to the kids.

The two paintings were framed in exquisite golden frames. One of them showed a child. Even though the two children looked very similar, their temperaments and styles were completely different in his paintings, making them easy to distinguish.

He drew this as a gift for a child to celebrate his third birthday.

Brilliant.

"Happy birthday, good boy."

His eyes were gentle, falling on the child with a surprised expression.

Little Li Yao was very surprised. He knew what a birthday was, but he had always thought that he didn't have a birthday, so no one had ever mentioned it. It didn't matter. He wasn't very disappointed. But now, he understood that he actually did have a birthday.

His performance was a pleasant surprise for an ordinary kid.

But Li Yao was different. He just stood there in a daze, his thoughts flying far away.

No one ever prepared a birthday for him.

Maybe he had expected it before, but the cruel reality told him that no one remembered his birthday, and no one cared about him...

As time went by, he himself even forgot about this day.

He looked at the smiling man, then at the painting in his arms, and said, "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? Baby, this is what I should do."

Under normal circumstances, Li Yao would have refuted at this moment, but now, he remained silent and turned to look at Li Qiao who had not said much.

This time, Li Qiao spoke very little and just watched them play.

She believed her own eyes. Caius really liked the two children and was very tolerant and patient with them.

Nothing she worried about seemed to happen.

But why did this man give her a gift before her...

Didn’t we agree to send them together?

Caius felt a chill on the back of his neck.

"What's going on? There's no wind..."

He muttered, touched the tip of his nose, and came closer with a smile.

"Take a quick look, do you like it?"

He squeezed his "huge" body between the family and showed the paintings to the children.

While no one was not noticing his hands, Caius took out a small box and stuffed it into Li Qiao's pocket without leaving any trace.

However, it was discovered in less than a second.

Li Qiao lowered his eyes and took out the black box. It should be a gift, right?

Even after being caught, the man looked calm and composed.

He tilted his head slightly, his voice was low but with a hint of smile.

"Thank you."
