Su Jianan asked someone to deliver the cake.

The twelve-inch cake was placed on a beautiful dining cart and pushed over by the club staff.

The staff helped light the candles, and Luo Xiaoxi pressed the remote control. In the flickering candlelight, the catchy "Happy Birthday" rang through the small villa, releasing joy and overpowering the heaviness in the air.

The two staff members picked up the cake and placed it on the coffee table. Mumu immediately ran over to watch.

When decorating flowers, Luo Xiaoxi and Xu Youning were not skilled enough, so the cake decoration was not very exquisite.

But, for Mumu, it was enough.

For the first time in several years, someone remembered his birthday and wanted to celebrate it.

This cake made by Su Jianan himself was the first birthday cake in his life.

The little guy's happiness was all over his face. He turned around and looked at the adults: "Aunt Youning, thank you."

Xu Youning touched the little guy's head: "Blow out the candles."

Mu Mu's eyes were bright and full of expectation: "Before blowing out the candles, can I make a wish? Well, I saw children in anime doing this when they celebrate their birthdays!"

"Okay." Xu Youning said, "You can make three wishes."

"Wow!"

Mu Mu exclaimed, and his eyes suddenly filled with surprise. It seemed that being able to make three wishes was a small blessing for him.

He put his hands together into a small fist, put it in front of his chin, and began to make a wish:

"The first wish is that I hope Aunt Jian An's baby can grow up happily! Oh, and there are also Aunt Youning and Aunt Xiao Xi's babies."

"The second wish is that I hope all my aunts and sister Yunyun can celebrate my birthday with me every year!"

"The third wish, I hope..."

Mu Mu's voice suddenly disappeared, and only his small lips were moving, with an expression of piety that was inconsistent with his age.

No one knows what kind of wish he is making.

After making her wish, Mu Mu put down her hand and said, "Aunt Youning, please blow out the candles with me."

The little guy's clean and bright eyes reflected the flickering candlelight, making people unable to bear to refuse his request.

Xu Youning nodded: "Okay."

Mu Mu took a deep breath, her little cheeks puffed up, and then she exhaled hard, and several candles were extinguished.

Su Jianan pulled out the candle and handed Mu Mu a plastic cake knife: "You can cut the cake."

Mu Mu symbolically cut the cake, and left the rest of the work to Su Jianan - he didn't know how to cut the cake into pieces.

Su Jianan was quite skillful and quickly divided the cake into pieces and put them on the plate. She handed the largest piece to Mumu first and said, "Try to see if it tastes good."

"Thank you, auntie."

Mu Mu took the plate, picked up a delicate little fork and dug out a piece of cake. Just as she was about to bring it to her lips, she suddenly remembered something——

He put down the cake and blinked in confusion: "Where is Grandma Zhou?" He turned to look at Xiao Yunyun, "Sister Yunyun, didn't you just say that Grandma Zhou was back? Why didn't Grandma Zhou come out to celebrate with us?

?”

"..."

Mu Mu's question came so suddenly that for a moment, the adults didn't know how to answer it.

Mu Mu tilted her head and ran towards the kitchen: "Grandma Zhou!"

Finding that Aunt Zhou was not in the kitchen, Mu Mu ran to the second floor and opened the door: "Grandma Zhou?"

The room was dark and empty, and there was still no sign of Aunt Zhou.

Mu Mu said "Huh?" in confusion, turned around and ran downstairs, pulling Xu Youning's clothes: "Aunt Youning, where did Grandma Zhou go?"

"Grandma Zhou..." Xu Youning's voice stopped suddenly, not knowing how to continue.

Mu Mu blinked and looked at the others, only to find that their expressions were as troubled as Xu Youning's.

He thought for a while and slowly realized something. He let go of Xu Youning's hand, his eyes darkened little by little, and his head slowly dropped.

Xu Youning took the little guy's hand: "Mu Mu."

Mu Mu said nothing, tears burst out of her eyes and fell continuously on the carpet.

Xu Youning held the little guy's shoulder with one hand and stroked his face with the other: "Mumu, you..."

Mu Mu raised her head, looked at Xu Youning with tearful eyes, and interrupted Xu Youning: "My dad took Grandma Zhou away, right? Uncle Mu and my dad...are they really rivals?"

"..."

Mu Mu blurted out the truth, and the air in the living room fell into a more complete silence.

Although Mu Mu is young, he understands that such silence represents acquiescence.

He wiped his eyes: "Aunt Youning, what does my daddy want?"

Su Jianan was very surprised. Mu Mu was only four years old. He actually knew that Kang Ruicheng had a purpose in kidnapping Aunt Zhou?

Should I say that this child is smart, or should I regret that the environment forces him to be unable to maintain the innocence that a child should have?

Seeing that the adults were silent, Mu Mu continued: "You were going to send me back, so daddy wants Aunt Youning to go back, right?"

"Mumu," Su Jianan squatted down and wiped the little guy's tears, "No matter what, we won't hurt you. So, don't be afraid."

Mu Mu flattened her mouth: "But, I don't want Aunt Youning to go back."

Su Jianan was even more surprised and blurted out: "Why?"

Everyone can see that Mu Mu is extremely dependent on Xu Youning.

Mu Mu's return means that he and Xu Youning will be separated forever.

But he actually said - he didn't want Xu Youning to go back.

Doesn't he want Xu Youning to grow up with him?

Mu Mu burst into tears: "Because Aunt Youning has a baby, and Uncle Mu is the baby's father. I don't want the baby to be separated from his father."

He has been forced to leave Kangrui City since he was a child. No child knows the feeling of loneliness better than him.

He didn't want Aunt Youning's baby to be like him, leaving his father and being lonely since he was a child.

After saying that, Mu Mu cried louder and louder, sobbing sadly, and could no longer say a complete sentence.

In fact, he didn't want to be separated from Xu Youning.

But now, his father has captured Grandma Zhou. If he wants to rescue Grandma Zhou and let Uncle Mu grow up with the baby, he must separate from Aunt Youning.

He couldn't describe how sad he was, but now, he was even more sad than when he was forced to leave his father.

Seeing Mu Mu crying like this, Su Jianan's heart instantly softened, and she touched Mu Mu's head: "Don't cry, we adults will solve this matter."

Mu Mu shook her little head, looked at Xu Youning, and begged: "Aunt Youning, ask Uncle Mu to send me back. I can ask daddy to send Grandma Zhou back."

Xu Youning said: "Uncle Mu and Uncle Lu have plans, let's listen to their arrangements, okay?"

Mu Mu nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Yunyun looked at it and her eyes turned red without realizing it. She picked up Mu Mu's cake and handed it to him: "Mu Mu, are you hungry? Why don't you eat something first?"

They are adults, so they can skip meals if they are not in the mood for the moment, but Mumu is a child and is in the stage of growing, so he cannot go hungry.

Mu Mu dipped her fingers into some cream, took a bite, and smiled brightly: "It's delicious!"

"Then eat more!" Xiao Yunyun picked up another piece of cake and said, "I'll eat it with you."

"I'm a little hungry too." Luo Xiaoxi sat over and said, "Let's eat together."

Mu Mu nodded, and the tears stuck to his long eyelashes suddenly dropped. He lowered his head hurriedly and took a bite of the cake to prevent adults from seeing his tears.

Luo Xiaoxi and Yunyun accompanied Mu Mu, Su Jianan and Xu Youning back to the villa next door.

It was already dark, and the lights stretched the slender figures of the two people. The cold wind whistled by wildly, but the sound sounded a bit desolate.

Su Jian'an suddenly spoke and said, "You Ning, you don't have to worry that Mumu will be used by Kang Ruicheng after he returns. This child is smarter and more sensible than we thought. I believe he can distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong."

"Mu Mu is only four years old." Xu Youning smiled bitterly, "He can now distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong. This is not luck for him, but a disaster."

Su Jianan sighed: "But there is nothing we can do. You Ning, he is Kang Ruicheng's son."

Born as Kang Ruicheng's son, Mu Mu was destined to endure some things beyond his age.

Not long after the two returned to the villa, Su Yicheng also came back.

After Luo Xiaoxi became pregnant, Su Yicheng became much calmer, and his current happiness and satisfaction were revealed in every move.

But today, he looked hurried and rushed.

Su Yicheng walked straight to Su Jian'an: "Bo Yan called me and asked me to come back early, saying that something happened to Aunt Tang. Jian An, what happened?"

Xu Youning felt that she should explain this matter.

She stood up and said, "Kang Ruicheng kidnapped Aunt Zhou and Aunt Tang in order to force Mu Sijue to send me and Mu Mu back." She paused for a second, then continued, "Brother Yicheng, I'm sorry."

When Xu Youning's grandmother was still young, she took Su Yicheng for a while.
