Soon, the lights by the window in the living room suddenly dimmed.
Following that, the tune of "Happy Birthday" began to play throughout the foyer.
Several waiters and Mu Anran, pushing the birthday cake, sang the birthday song along with the music as they walked out.
Mu Anran squatted in front of Xiao Jie, "Xiao Jie, happy birthday!"
Xiao Jie looked at the three-tiered cake, his nose tingling and his eyes beginning to redden as he started making wishes.
"My first wish is that Teacher Mumu can continue to tutor me!"
"My second wish is... I hope Daddy can stop being so harsh and be a bit gentler."
"The third..."
Mu Anran quickly said, "Don't say your third wish out loud, or it won't come true."
Xiao Jie nodded, looked at Mu Anran for a long while, then lowered his head to continue making wishes.
"Xiao Jie is very happy today, thank you." This was the first time Su Ye initiated a conversation with Mu Anran.
