“Qiao Qiao, there were flowers on top before, weren’t there?” 

Chu Yuanzhi asked uncertainly, his heart filled with unease.  

He was only 45, it shouldn’t be possible for him to develop dementia this early.  

Chu Qiao also noticed the completely bare cake and couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. 

She glanced toward Chu Peng, Dabao, and Xiaobao. 

The three of them were putting on quite the act, Dabao even said with a perfectly straight face, “Grandpa, there were no flowers. You must be misremembering.”  

“Yeah, no flowers.” Xiaobao nodded vigorously, always his older brother’s loyal supporter.  

Chu Peng kept his face expressionless and stayed silent, as if he knew nothing at all.

Chu Qiao was both amused and exasperated. 

She deliberately said, “Next time you sneak a bite, remember to wipe your mouths, there’s cream all over the corners!”

Three hands moved in perfect sync to wipe the corners of their mouths. 

Chu Peng was the first to realize the trick, his hand veered mid-motion and scratched his head instead, as if trying to cover up. 

“I need to wash my hair.” He added unconvincingly.

Dabao and Xiaobao, being younger, were a step slower. 

Their hands still hovered near their mouths, and they smiled awkwardly before slowly lowering them and hanging their heads in regret.

They didn’t regret sneaking the cream, but regret for falling into the trap. They’d been outsmarted.

Chu Yuanzhi burst out laughing. 

“It’s fine if you ate it, there’s still a big piece of cake left!”

He divided the cake into several slices. 

Chu Yuanzhi first served Dabao and Xiaobao, then Chu Peng, followed by Chu Qiao and Gu Ye. After that, he gave a slice to He Jihong, and finally to Xu Bilian. He Jihong stared at the cake on her plate, its aroma wafting into her nose, but she had no appetite whatsoever. 

In fact, she felt like throwing the cake right in Chu Yuanzhi’s face.

She had worked hard all day to prepare a lavish meal, going to the market early in the morning and spending hours in the kitchen. 

Yet, the first slice of cake wasn’t given to her. That heartless ingrate, her sincere efforts had been wasted on a dog.

“Delicious! Qiao Qiao, this cake is baked to perfection, even better than the ones I’ve bought from bakeries before.” 

Chu Yuanzhi praised enthusiastically after tasting the cake, his mood lifted considerably.

Chu Peng didn’t say a word, devouring the cake without pause. 

He was already planning to visit his stupid older sister’s place every now and then, eat his fill and then pack some to take home.

While they were enjoying themselves, He Jihong and her daughter hadn’t touched a bite, they had no appetite at all.

With big eaters like Chu Peng and Gu Ye around, the cake was quickly finished, leaving not a crumb behind. 

Only the slices in front of He Jihong and her daughter remained untouched.

“If you’re not eating, I will.”

Chu Peng reached over and took them. Wasting food was a shame.

“I don’t have a sweet tooth. Xiao Peng, you should eat less too, it’s not good for your teeth.” 

He Jihong said through gritted teeth, feeling displeased with her son as well. 

It was just cake, was it really worth being so greedy? 

She used to often buy sponge cakes for her son, but she never once heard the brat say they were delicious. 

Just like his father, he was utterly ungrateful.

Chu Peng acknowledged her words but didn’t stop eating. He finished every last crumb of the cake. 

He thought his mother was always fretting excessively about fried bread sticks damaging the brain, sweets rotting teeth, drinking too much water harming the kidneys, and eating too much meat causing high blood pressure.

In his mother’s opinion, nothing was good, not even the air. 

He felt she belonged on Mars, Earth simply wasn’t worthy of her.

After finishing the cake, the atmosphere eased somewhat. 

But then Xu Bilian spoke up again, her voice shrill: “Chu Qiao, are you too scared to admit it?”

The smile vanished from Chu Yuanzhi’s face. He was furious. 

This neurotic woman just wouldn’t let it go. 

Unable to live her own life well, she fixated on his daughter all day long. She was truly insane.

He was about to scold her even more harshly, as an elder, he had every right to reprimand her. 

But then he heard his daughter’s voice, “Why wouldn’t I dare admit it? I do work at the dance hall.”
