Chapter: 3206
Now that he suddenly sees the old photo of himself and Autumn Yuyu from their childhood days, Ye Chen's heart is naturally filled with countless emotions.
Autumn Yuyu asked him on the side, laughing: "Ye Chen-gege, do you still like this cake?"
"I like it, I really like it!" Ye Chen exclaimed sincerely: "I never thought this cake was so realistic!"
Autumn Yuyu said with a smile: "This is made by the most skilled cake artist in Yanjing, and many people are willing to wait in line for her to make cakes. Many of them are extremely famous wealthy individuals and socialites. I had already booked this birthday cake with her months ago and asked my parents to bring it all the way from Yanjing just to surprise you."
Looking at the doll on top of the cake, Ye Chen gazed at his childhood photo with Autumn Yuyu and felt a mix of emotions welling up inside him. His eyes even became slightly moist.
Then, he hastily laughed and joked, "Oh, this doll is so beautifully made, I wouldn't dare eat it!"
Autumn Yuyu smiled and said, "Ye Chen-gege, this doll was never meant to be eaten, but as a keepsake for you. Except for the candy dolls, everything else can be eaten."
When he heard that the candy dolls were not meant to be eaten, Ye Chen slightly relaxed his expression, or else he would have swallowed himself or Autumn Yuyu's childhood doll into his belly, which would indeed feel quite strange.
Next to him, Autumn Yuyu gazed at Ye Chen with affection and whispered softly, "Ye Chen-gege, can I sing 'Happy Birthday' to you like when we were kids? When I'm singing, you can make a birthday wish. After I finish singing, you can blow out the candles."
Ye Chen lightly nodded his head and smiled and said, "Okay!"
Autumn Yuyu subtly adjusted her breathing, then began to sing with deep affection: "Wish you a happy birthday~ Wish you a happy birthday~~~ Wish you a ha--ppy birthd---ay~~~ Wish you a h-ap-py birthd----day~~..."
At this moment, Ye Chen clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and silently made a small wish.
Now, he has no material desires left. His greatest wish is to uncover the truth behind his parents' deaths and avenge them. However, such wishes are somewhat out of place on this warm birthday.
So, he silently made a wish in his heart, hoping that all family members and friends could be at peace and healthy.
That's enough.
After making a wish, Yu Qi's birthday song also ended, and Ye Chen took a deep breath to blow out the 27 candles on the five-layer cake.
Yu Qi and her husband, together with Lin Wanqiu, applauded with applause. Lin Wanqiu laughed and said, "Chen'er, Auntie wishes you have today every year, and may all your wishes come true!"
Yu Zheng nodded and said, "Chen'er, Uncle wishes you a smooth and peaceful life!"
Ye Chen felt touched in his heart and thanked him again. On the side, Yu Qi whispered to Ye Chen's ear, pointing at her own figure on the spinning sugar doll, saying in an only audible voice to Ye Chen: "Chen brothers, I wish you could get back home early with this troublemaker!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly without confirming or denying.
He had already understood Yu Qi's mind, but many things couldn't be explicitly stated, so he just pretended to be foolish.
At this time, Lin Wanqiu handed Ye Chen a cake knife and said, "Chen'er, you're the birthday boy. You go ahead and cut the cake first, and then everyone can take two bites of it, sharing joy and happiness. Then we'll officially start eating!"
"Alright, Lin Auntie!" Ye Chen quickly replied and then used a knife to cut out several slices of cake from the bottom layer, placing them on small plates one by one, and handed them to the three people.
Subsequently, Gu Yanzhong pulled him back and sat down at the dinner table again, starting to chat merrily.
He deliberately lifted his cup of wine and said to Ye Chen: "Chen'er, I've said too many thank-yous, Uncle will not continue the thread here. This cup of wine is on behalf of our family of three to toast you!" JrNovels.com
