“You can eat it. It’s a reward for selling the machine tool, for Dabao scoring a hundred on his test, and for Xiaobao getting a little red flower every day. I made it especially for you guys.” 

Chu Qiao said with a warm smile.  

Upon hearing their names, Gu Ye, Dabao, and Xiaobao instinctively straightened up, their faces brimming with pride.  

“Let’s eat the cake. I’ll make less for dinner tonight.”  

As soon as Chu Qiao gave the word, the three of them cheered and reached for the cake, only to be stopped by her. 

“Did you forget to wash your hands? Also, call Uncle Xu and Uncle Bao to come up and join us.”  

“Okay!”  

They responded in unison and dashed toward the washroom in perfect sync. 

Gu Ye led the way, with Dabao and Xiaobao close behind, like a big dog followed by two little puppies, such a comical sight.

“Section Chief Gu, your wife Xiao Chu baked a cake, the smell is absolutely divine!” a woman called out.  

“Section Chief Gu, Xiao Chu said that the oven cost over a thousand yuan. She really doesn’t hold back when it comes to spending!”  

Another woman’s remark reached Chu Qiao’s ears, clearly meant to stir trouble. 

Chu Qiao scoffed inwardly. These women really had too much time on their hands. How much she spent on things was none of their business!  

They just couldn’t stand others living well, hoping everyone would be as frugal as them, pinching every penny as they could. What a bunch of busybodies.  

“I bought the oven. A little over a thousand yuan isn’t expensive. I make that back by selling just one machine tool.” 

Gu Ye retorted before brushing them off. 

These women were always fixated on how much his wife spent. So what if he could earn money? So could his wife. What was wrong with spending a little?  

If their husbands couldn’t earn well and they couldn’t either, that was their problem. They could continue living their stingy lives.

After Gu Ye’s sharp retort, the women fell silent, shooting resentful glances at Chu Qiao. 

Their hearts soured with envy. If they spent twenty yuan on a piece of clothing, their husbands would accuse them of being wasteful. 

Yet Xiao Chu could spend a month’s salary on a sweater and a year’s salary on an oven, and Section Chief Gu didn’t complain about it. 

Why did Xiao Chu get to marry such a wonderful man?  

Once everyone had washed their hands, Dabao ran downstairs to call Xu Sanqiang and the other three. 

Chu Qiao used a cotton thread to slice the cake into small pieces, letting everyone help themselves.  

“This is way better than sponge cup cakes. It looks so fancy, does it have a special name?” Xu Sanqiang asked curiously.  

“It’s called a birthday cake. Foreigners make these for birthdays. They even stick candles in it, make a wish, and blow them out, then the wish may come true.” 

Chu Qiao explained with a smile.

-Sponge cup cakes 

-Birthday cake 

As they enjoyed the cake, Chu Qiao shared some interesting facts about it. 

After finishing his slice, Xu Sanqiang licked his lips wistfully and remarked, 

“These foreign treats are surprisingly delicious. I’ve heard that restaurants run by foreigners are called Western-style restaurants. Once I make some money, I’ll go try one and see what the hype is about.”  

“Foreigners can only make good cakes. Other than that, there’s nothing much worth eating.”

Gu Ye said dismissively, already reaching for another slice. 

This was his third piece, he had zero resistance when it came to sweets and could easily polish off the entire cake by himself.  

“Whether it’s good or not, it’s worth experiencing. I’ve heard that young people in big cities always go to Western-style restaurants when they’re dating. They say it’s romantic. Old Gu, have you taken your wife to one?” 

Xu Sanqiang leaned in closer, winking mischievously.  

Gu Ye froze for a moment, then smacked his forehead in frustration. 

How could he have forgotten something so important? 

He should have taken Qiao Qiao to a Western-style restaurant ages ago. 

He wasn’t being a proper partner, he needed to make it up to her, and fast.

“Haven’t gone yet, but we’ll go in a few days.” 

Gu Ye decided firmly. 

This Sunday, without a doubt, he would treat his wife to a romantic day out.
