When he heard that the sugar dolls were not for eating, Ye Chen was slightly relieved, otherwise if he really ate the dolls of himself or Gu Qiuyi when she was a child, it would indeed feel a bit strange.
Next to him, Gu Qiuyi looked at Ye Chen with affection and said softly, "Brother Ye Chen, let me still sing you a happy birthday song like I did when I was a kid! You can make a birthday wish while I sing, and when I finish singing you can blow out the candles."
Ye Chen nodded gently and smiled, "Good!"
Gu Qiuyi slightly adjusted her breathing before she then sang softly in a deep voice, "Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~~ Happy birthday to you~~ Happy birthday to you~~ Happy birthday to you~~~~ ......"
At this point, Ye Chen put his hands together, closed his eyes and silently made a small wish.
Now he no longer had any material desires, his greatest wish was to find out the truth about his parents' death and to avenge them, but this kind of wish was more or less not quite appropriate if he made it on such a warm birthday.
So he made a silent wish in his heart that all his family and friends would be safe and healthy.
That would be enough.
After making the wish, Gu Qiuyi's birthday song was finished, and Ye Chen blew out the 27 candles on the five-tier cake one by one.
Gu Qiuyi, Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu applauded together, and Lin Wanqiu said with a smile, "Chen'er, auntie wishes you every year and every year, and all your wishes will come true!"
Gu Yanzhong also nodded and said, "Chen'er, uncle wishes you all the best and peace in your life!"
Ye Chen was touched in his heart and thanked him repeatedly, while Gu Qiuyi, who was at the side, came up to Ye Chen's ear and quietly pointed at herself in the candy doll, and spoke in a volume that only Ye Chen could hear, "Brother Ye Chen, I wish you to marry this heel soon!"
Ye Chen smiled heartily and didn't say anything.
He had long understood what Gu Qiuyi had in mind, but there were many things that there was no way to explicitly say, so he simply played dumb.
At this time, Lin Wanqiu handed over a knife for cutting the cake and said, "Chen'er, you're the birthday boy, you cut the cake first, so we can all have a bite of it and then we'll officially start the meal!"
"Okay, Auntie Lin!" Ye Chen quickly agreed and then used a knife to cut off a few pieces of the cake from the bottom layer, put them on a small plate and handed them to the three people one by one.
Afterwards, Gu Yanzhong pulled him along and sat back down at the dining table and began to have a drink.
He took the initiative to lift his glass and said to Ye Chen, "Chen'er, I've said too many words of thanks, so I won't continue here, I'll toast you with this glass of wine on behalf of the three of us!"
Ye Chen didn't push back, lifted his glass and said seriously, "Thank you Uncle Gu!"
The two of them then drank the white wine in their cups in one go.
