Chapter 951: Came for the Cake

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment the adults heard they could take as much as they wanted without worry, the atmosphere became even more animated.

The children transformed into miniature eating machines, shoveling spoonful after spoonful of the delicious food into their mouths. Gone were the days when they needed coaxing from grandparents at home to finish even a few bites.

Here, the aroma and flavor were irresistible—better than anything they’d ever tasted, even in fancy restaurants.

Even the poised socialites, ever-mindful of maintaining their trim figures, threw caution to the wind. The dishes were simply too delectable to pass up.

“If I don’t indulge in a few more bites, it’ll feel like a crime!” one whispered conspiratorially to her friend. The garden hummed with chatter, laughter, and the clinking of cutlery—a lively symphony of a perfect evening.

Once the feast concluded, it was time for the event everyone had been anticipating: the cake-cutting ceremony.

Under Gu Zi’s careful instruction, Su Shen turned off all the courtyard lights, leaving only the silvery glow of the moon to illuminate the space.

Gu Zi, assisted by Su Li and the children, set about lighting the candles on both the towering main cake and the dozens of smaller ones scattered around. These candles weren’t ordinary ones, either. Handmade by Gu Zi, they were vibrantly colored like candy sticks.

One unsuspecting child couldn’t resist the temptation. Convinced he’d discovered a sweet treat, he grabbed a candle and bit into it, only to immediately grimace in horror.

Spitting it out with an exaggerated “blech,” he exclaimed, “Su Li, your mom’s cooking is always amazing, but this candy stick is awful!”

Su Li doubled over with laughter, snatching the half-chewed candle out of the boy’s hand. “I told Mom these candles looked too much like candy! Guess it’s not just me who got fooled, huh?”

His teasing sent ripples of laughter through the crowd, although some children only managed nervous chuckles—they’d nearly made the same mistake but were too embarrassed to admit it.
