4571 The Other Side 540

Chu He stuck the candles into the cake. The candles were in the shape of numbers. Gu Jinglian drew the ward curtains close around them. The moment the candle was lit, the faint light set Yun Shishi’s face aglow, softening her expression.

Chu He urged, “Make a wish!”

“Alright!” Yun Shishi had already thought of her wish countless times. She closed her eyes as a powerful wish came to mind. Her wish was that Little Yichen would never have to miss her birthday celebrations again!

This was not a demanding wish, and she wondered if it would come true. She made the wish with sincerity and gently blew out the candles.

!!

Chu He handed her the knife, and she cut a slice of cake and set it aside. This slice was for Little Yichen, and on top of that, she cut another slice and placed it together with the one for Little Yichen.

Puzzled, Chu He asked, “Who is this piece for?”

“Have you forgotten? There’s Baby Chu! Absolutely everyone should have some.”

Only then did Chu He realize. “So, you didn’t forget Baby Chu’s share!”

Initially, she thought that Yun Shishi had forgotten about Baby Chu because she had been so preoccupied with Little Yichen. She thought it was a pity that Baby Chu would miss out since he was also in quarantine. Unexpectedly, Yun Shishi did not forget him.

“This is Little Yichen’s and Baby Chu’s. Later, when we’re done eating, we’ll send the cake to them!”

“Alright.”

“Don’t forget them.”

After cutting the cake evenly, Youyou took a slice for Yueyao and another for Jing Yang. The kids ate with relish.

Although cake was not a novelty and the little lads had been well-off since they were young and were sick of all kinds of cakes, they had been staying in the hospital all year round and eating nutritious meals in such an environment. It was a boring diet. And now they had the rare opportunity to have a cake, so it was something different. Youyou even thought that this cake was the best thing he had ever eaten in the world.

He held up the cake and asked, “Mommy, did you make this cake?”

“That’s right.”

“Wow!” The boy looked at her in admiration. “This cake is probably the best thing I’ve eaten since I came into this world.”

Yun Shishi was stumped to hear this.

Mu Yazhe was compelled to remark, “Really? I still feel that the culinary skills haven’t changed. It’s just that you’ve been eating nutritious meals in the hospital and it’s rare for you to eat cake, so you think it’s delicious.”

Upon hearing this, the boy ruminated on what his father said and then informed his mother, “Mommy, Daddy said that your cake tastes awful.”

The man resisted the urge to hit the tattletale. “Did I say that? You’re sowing discord!”

“It’s a fact!” The boy asserted, “I said Mommy’s cake is delicious, but Daddy insisted that I had been having too much of the hospital’s nutritious meals and lost my sense of taste.”

Yun Shishi looked meaningfully at her husband.

The man proceeded to explain, “That’s not what I meant.”

“But from the sound of it, that does seem to be the message.” Chu He threw a spanner in the works.

Mu Yazhe opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Gu Jinglian joined in and nodded seriously. “Don’t bother explaining. Any explanation is just an excuse.”

As Yueyao ate, she said as she moved her mousse-covered mouth, “If Daddy dislikes the cake Mommy made, then Daddy shouldn’t eat it anymore!”

The man stuffed a forkful of cake into the child’s mouth. “Even the cake can’t keep your mouth occupied?”
