The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 160 Birthday
In a blink of an eye, a month has passed and there are still five days left until the three brothers' birthdays.

Gu Qingyin's cake was already quite good, at least she was very satisfied with it.

Huo Yunjing thought back to the hard teaching in the past month and almost burst into tears. It was too difficult!
Hua Xin also breathed a sigh of relief, finally she didn’t have to eat the whole egg feast anymore!

On the birthday, the three brothers made time for it.

Huo Xingye postponed several unimportant meetings, Huo Xinghai avoided several schedules, and Huo Xingchen had it the easiest, he could just take a leave and go home.

Gu Qingyin got up early in the morning and decorated the living room. She hung up a "Happy Birthday" banner, put up a few photos of people, hung balloons, and placed flowers.

These are okay, although a bit rustic, but not unacceptable.

The most exaggerated thing is that she also customized life-size standees of the three brothers and placed them next to the banner.

Huo Yunjing: ...

He felt like he should say something, but his mind went blank and he could only applaud in silence.

When everything was ready, Gu Qingyin suddenly realized, "I forgot to ask them if they want to invite friends over." She pursed her lips, a little worried, "Isn't it too stingy to just hold a birthday party at home? What did they do before?"

Huo Yunjing walked up to her, held her hand, and whispered, "When they were young, we would hold it at home, but when we grow up, we will hold it separately. We will hold a banquet and invite a group of people. However, that kind of birthday banquet is just for others to see. The people who come have different intentions. Few of them are really celebrating their sons' birthdays. Only when they are with their family members can they really celebrate their birthdays."

Gu Qingyin was persuaded and continued to be busy happily.

In the afternoon, Huo Xingchen came back first. When he entered the room and saw the drastically changed living room, his pupils trembled.

This... they are celebrating their 22nd birthday, not 12th! This is too much!

Gu Qingyin had been observing her son's expression, and she felt a little uneasy when she saw this, "Don't you like it?"

Huo Xingchen shook his head subconsciously, "I like it, but I'm a little shocked."

Gu Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I'm glad you like it." She waved, "Come over and have some fruit first. Xingye and Xinghai are on their way."

Huo Xinghai arrived home first. He paused for a moment and smiled gently, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom. The decoration is... very unique."

Gu Qingyin benefited a lot from it.

Huo Xingye was the last one to arrive home. He was in a trance for a moment when he entered the door, but he was worthy of being a domineering president. He quickly adjusted his facial expression and said sincerely: "I haven't seen such an atmospheric birthday party in many years."

Gu Qingyin looked proud, "I arranged all of this myself!"

Huo Xingye didn't know what else to say, so he changed the subject very cleverly, "Mom, I brought you a gift."

Gu Qingyin was very surprised, "It should be a gift prepared by your mother for you."

Huo Xingye handed over the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "It's your child's birthday and your mother's hard day. It's only right for me to buy you a gift."

The three brothers had obviously discussed it long ago. Huo Xinghai and Huo Xingye also took out gifts and gave them to Gu Qingyin.

Gu Qingyin was deeply moved and completely surrounded by happiness.

Huo Yunjing panicked for a moment when he saw this, and then he began to feel fortunate that he had been working overtime every night during this period of time, and finally accumulated some merit and gold, which he would give to his wife later.

The family members sat down one by one, and Gu Qingyin gave out the birthday presents she had prepared. The gifts this time were not expensive, but they were very practical.

Huo Yunjing couldn't give the three brothers any gifts and could only give them verbal blessings.

The three brothers were very happy to receive the gifts and blessings.

Gu Qingyin was in high spirits when she suddenly said, "I've prepared a gift for you." She was looking forward to it. "Wait, I'll bring it out!"

Gu Qingyin turned and went to the kitchen. Huo Yunjing whispered, "Your mother has worked hard for more than a month to prepare this gift. Show it as a surprise later." The three brothers looked at each other, their eyelids twitching. Could it be that mom is not cooking?

With a nervous mood, the three of them looked towards the kitchen inconspicuously and prepared themselves mentally. No matter what was taken out, they had to show surprise and eat it happily.

But when Gu Qingyin really came out pushing the cake, the three of them were stunned.

They imagined many dishes, but they never thought of cake.

Huo Xingchen's eyes widened in disbelief, "Mom! Did you do this?"

Gu Qingyin felt a little embarrassed for some reason. "Yes, I've been learning for a month, so it should taste good. You can try it later."

"Let's not talk about the taste for now, the appearance is very good." Huo Xinghai praised sincerely. He had eaten meals made by Gu Qingyin herself, and in comparison, this cake was really great.

Huo Xingye also said: "Make a wish first, I can't wait to try it."

All the lights in the house were turned off, only the decorative light strips in the restaurant were still on.

Gu Qingyin made a three-layer cake. She took three candles and put them on the top. Huo Yunjing lit the candles with a slight movement of his fingers.

The three brothers stood in front of the cake, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes and made a wish. A few seconds later, they opened their eyes one after another, smiled at each other, and blew out the candles.

It was the first time that Gu Qingyin celebrated the children's birthday. Seeing this scene, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Happy birthday, my dears!"

The word "baby" made the three of them blush.

"Mom, we are so old now, why do you still call us baby..." Huo Xingchen looked awkward.

Gu Qingyin's eyes widened, "No matter how old he is, he is still my son. No matter how old he is, he is still my baby!"

Seeing this, Huo Xingye coughed lightly and said, "Mom makes sense."

Huo Xinghai nodded in agreement, "Brother is right."

Huo Xingchen looked at his two brothers in disbelief. They sold him out like that? Are they real brothers?

Huo Xingye laughed and said, "Let's cut the cake."

The three brothers cut the cake together, one by one, but they only cut the top layer, and each piece was very thin.

Gu Qingyin snorted upon seeing this, clearly dissatisfied.

The three brothers pretended not to hear. Each of them held a plate and a spoon in his hand. After three seconds of silence, he scooped a large spoonful and put it into his mouth with a fearless attitude.

After tasting it carefully, the three brothers looked at each other in surprise. It was not bad at all, and could even be called delicious.

Huo Xinghai was the most thoughtful. He looked at Gu Qingyin and said, "Mom must have done this many times, right?"

Gu Qingyin was embarrassed again, "It's okay, it's okay, how does it taste?"

Huo Xinghai smiled with his eyes curved, "It's delicious." After finishing the cake on the plate, he cut another big piece, completely forgetting the idea of maintaining weight.

Huo Xingye also nodded and said, "It's not particularly sweet, just right for my taste. Thank you, Mom."

Huo Xingchen nodded repeatedly, his mouth was so full that he couldn't speak at all.

Gu Qingyin was very satisfied watching this, and it greatly boosted her confidence. "If you like it, I will do it for you often in the future! I can also learn other things!"

The three brothers paused and suddenly found the delicious cake a little hard to swallow.
