Chapter 599 - Miao Jing’s Birthday (2/2)

“Hey, what are you doing? Time is almost up. We will be late if we don’t set off now.” Miao Jing knocked on the door anxiously.

“I will change my clothes.”

“There’s no need to change. The clothing you’re wearing looks very good on you. Don’t change them.” If he were to change, he would be in his military uniform.

Unfortunately, no matter how Miao Jing knocked on the door, by the time Zhai Sheng came out of the room, he had changed back to the camouflaged suits that he usually wore in the army. “This is more comfortable.”

“No, today is my birthday, so you have to obey me. Go and change to the formal clothing from just now.” Miao Jing was displeased. Zhai Sheng looked das.h.i.+ng in the formal clothing. All the girls would fall for him.

“Are we going or not? Mom, it’s your birthday. It doesn’t matter where we celebrate. What’s important is who is celebrating with you. I will make a phone call right now and get Dad to come to the camp. Dad and I will celebrate your birthday with you. Dad and I are soldiers. It is quite meaningful for you to spend your birthday in the army camp.”

If they had the meal outside, he would have to change into the formal clothing. But if they stayed in the army camp, he supposed he would not need to change into the formal clothing.

“Don’t!” Miao Jing was upset. When her son was young and could be cajoled, she was not by his side. When she wanted her son to listen to her, he would not be easily coaxed. “Alright, you can wear whatever you like. You are the one who matters. We have to get going. I have already made a reservation. It’s about time. If we don’t go now, we will really be late. Let’s go.”

As long as he was there, it was fine if he refused to change his clothing.

There was no point if he refused to go.

“Is Dad waiting for us in the hotel?” Since it was his mother’s birthday, his father had to be present as well.

“Your, your dad, he, he is a little unwell today, so he is staying at home and will not be joining us. Are you not willing to be the only person who celebrates my birthday with me?” Miao Jing looked guilty. She straightened her back and pulled a long face deliberately. “You should know about my relations.h.i.+p with your dad. I want to spend my birthday happily. I only want to see the people who make me happy. Why should I invite those who anger me? Are you not going to celebrate my birthday with me since your dad is not going?”

“Dad is not going?” Zhai Sheng thought hard about it. “Alright, of course not. It seems like, besides me, there are other people who can make you happy and will celebrate your birthday with you today.”

Miao Jing’s countenance changed and she looked guilty. Did Zhai Sheng suspect anything?

She quickly remembered that she was the mother while Zhai Sheng was her son. She composed herself and held her head high.

So what if she was up to something? As a mother, it was natural for her to be worried about her son’s future.

“Mom, who are those people who can make you happy?” Zhai Sheng looked at Miao Jing coldly. Since when did his mother start to play these tricks?

“You will know when you arrive. You spend all the time in the army and there isn’t a chance for you to get to know someone else. Humans are sociable beings. When the time is appropriate, it can uplift one’s mood. Getting to know a few new friends can be helpful to one’s career.” Miao Jing believed that what she did was justified and right.

Zhai Sheng shut his eyes to rest. He did not expose her lies, but the atmosphere in the car turned stiff instantly.
