Chapter 197 A Birthday Can't Be Without Cake

e she could bring it to her ear, Gu Xicheng's voice came through."Come up!" A short, sharp command.Xu Yixue straightened up and hurried to the elevator.I thought we had settled everything this morning...Linglong nodded, as if she understood, "Learn without being taught."

Xu Yixue lightly tapped her own head. Gu Xicheng, with his long fingers, held a transparent glass cup. He glanced at Xu Yixue's blushing face before looking up to Ye Xirui and saying, "Don't tease your sister-in-law anymore."

Ye Xiyu immediately shut her mouth and made a zipper motion, then grinned at the two people.

Xu Yixue gave Gu Xicheng a gentle smile. Holding her juice glass, she awkwardly took a small sip.

Then lowered her head and slowly ate.

Several people at the dinner table had no rules like not speaking while eating or not talking while sleeping. Ye Xiyu, after pulling up her zippered mouth for just a short time, started chattering on and off. Occasionally, Ye Dongyang would tease her back, and the others didn't speak much but would chime in every now and then.

Xu Yixue occasionally replies to Ye Xiyu a few words, mostly while quietly eating.

One meal's atmosphere just like this, ate finished, still quite lively.

Then they continued drinking and chatting in the garden. Suddenly, Xu Yixue asked, “Didn’t you buy a cake”

Yexiyu giggled, "Sister-in-law, I've known my brother for so long, he's never had a birthday cake! He says he doesn't like them!"

Qin Yan also looked at Gu Xi with a playful expression.

Xiao Ting's brow furrowed, his gaze swept over Xu Yi Xue for a moment, and finally, he frowned.

Isn't it normal to have a birthday cake on your birthday

Is there something she doesn't know

Xu Yixue subconsciously looked at Gu Xicheng. His face was very calm, he stretched out his long arm and pulled her over, his low voice slowly flowed out, "Ignore them."

Has anything happened in the meantime

Gu Xi looked sideways at Xu Yixue for a moment, then turned his head to look at those people. His gaze swept over their faces, his eyes seeming to urge them away.

Ye Dongyang suddenly tapped his head, "Ah, my plan isn't finished yet, I have to go back"

Ye Xiyuyu puckered her lips, "Third brother, my essay is due tomorrow, could you take a look and see where I need to make changes!"

Xiaoting, "Big brother, we're leaving first!"

Qin Yan nodded at Gu Xicheng as a farewell!

"Where did they go"

Xu Yixue was stunned for a moment, her gaze shifting to look at Gu Xicheng beside her.

He seems to be in a good mood today. There's less coldness on his face, replaced by more gentleness.

As for her.

Xu Yixue held her breath, staring at him, her heart pounding.

"Shall I make a cake Very quickly."

Gu Xi was very calm. He lowered his eyes and glanced faintly at the woman who ran back. He didn't even stop her! Wasn't he always so resistant

Today is his parents' death anniversary. His father and mother died in a car accident on their way to pick up a cake for him. He hasn't had cake since he was six years old. If anyone brings him a cake, he gets angry.

But, except for this woman.

Xu Yixue really ran back to the kitchen to make a cake, gathered all the ingredients, and drove everyone out.

Gu Bo knew she was making a cake and stood worriedly outside the kitchen.

When she was 16, she liked to eat cake and went to learn how to make it. She is already very familiar with making cakes.

She didn't need an entire hour. On top of the cake, she wrote "Happy Birthday Ah Xi" with cream.

Before I could finish writing a few words, I heard voices outside the door sounding in unison.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master, Miss Xu... she!"

Gu Xicheng raised an eyebrow and said lightly, "All of you, leave."

He went into the kitchen, lowered his head to look at the small cake on the table, and whispered, "No need."

Do you not want it Don't you want cake Don't you want to eat cake

Xu Yixue looked up at him with a confused expression.

She stared intently at Gu Xicheng and asked, puzzled, "Don't you like it"

Gu Xicheng took Xu Yixue's hand and looked at her, "You don't need to work so hard, just ask someone to buy it."

He looked at her face, her hair, the powder on her apron with a dull gaze. For the first time, a woman had done this for him, and he couldn't bear to hurt her. All he could do was say…

Xu Yixue smiled gently, pondered for a few seconds before speaking, "If...if we were truly meant to be together...I'll bake you a cake every year after."please go out for a bit, I need to talk to my brother about something.” Her voice was a little hoarse.Gu Xi Cheng looked at her with deep eyes, nodded and stood up to leave, passing by the doorway."Ba...
