Meng Zhi eagerly waited for Gu Dai to open her eyes and then quickly said, “Daidai, blow out the candles!”

Gu Dai complied, “Okay,” and gently blew out the candles.

Meng Zhi let out a gasp of surprise and then leaned in close to Gu Dai, quietly asking, “Daidai, what wish did you just make?”

Gu Dai glanced at Meng Zhi, resignedly replying, “Third Brother, if 1 tell you my birthday wish, it won’t come true.”

Meng Zhi reluctantly gave up his inquiry, not feeling disheartened. Instead, he excitedly asked, “Daidai, do you like how the room is decorated?”

Gu Dai nodded, smiling, “It’s beautiful!”

Meng Zhi’s face lit up with satisfaction, “Hehe, I decorated it especially for you. I’m glad you like it.”

Meng Chuan, hearing Meng Zhi’s words, wasn’t pleased and quickly interjected, “What do you mean you decorated it? 1 also gave ideas, you know?”

Gu Yin chimed in, not to be outdone, “And me, 1 helped with the decorations too!”

Gu Dai looked at this lively scene, feeling warm inside.

She had forgotten her own birthday, but her family remembered it, which felt wonderful.

Her wish was just to be happily together with her family.

“Thank you, everyone,” Gu Dai said softly.

Meng Chuan replied, “We’re all family, no need for thanks. Isn’t that a bit formal?”

Meng Zhi agreed, “Yeah, we don’t want Daidai’s thanks. We just want her to be happy seeing our decorations.”

Gu Dai chuckled softly, genuinely stating, “I am very happy!”

“By the way, Third Brother, was there actually no issue at your club, and it was just an excuse to set up the private room?” Gu Dai inquired.

Meng Zhi laughed, “Hehe, you’re right!”

After guessing correctly about, Gu Dai turned to Meng Chuan, asking, “Second Brother, did you come back this time especially for my birthday?”

Meng Chuan nodded, then added, “Big Brother also wanted to come, but he got caught up with urgent work and couldn’t make it. However, he asked me to bring you a gift.”

Meng Chuan brought over a gift box and placed it on the table in front of Gu Dai.

“Our gifts are all in this box. Open it and guess who gave which gift,” Meng Chuan encouraged.

Gu Dai opened the box, her gaze immediately falling on a painting.

The painting depicted a cartoon woman with long hair and a teardrop mole under her eye. Gu Dai knew it was her.

The style was somewhat childish but clearly heartfelt.

“Is this painting by Yinyin?” Gu Dai asked, smiling at Gu Yin.

Gu Yin nodded eagerly, “Yes, it’s mine!”

Then she added with a hint of dejection, “Cousin, did you recognize it immediately because it’s too childish?”

Gu Dai, amused yet touched, knelt to be at eye level with Gu Yin, earnestly replying, “Not at all. I recognized it because I understand you well. And just now, your sparkling eyes kept telling me it was your work.”

“Really?” Gu Yin asked.

“Of course!” Gu Dai affirmed.

Meng Zhi added with a smile, “It’s true! I even recorded this moment on video. Yinyin can watch it tomorrow.”

Gu Yin responded with a smile, “Okay.”

Gu Dai then focused back on the gift box, taking out and opening the other gifts, and eventually said, “I think I know who gave each gift.”

The three of them were shocked, “Really?”

Gu Dai confidently nodded, “This handmade pocket watch must be from Big Brother, the diamond necklace from Second Brother, and the gaming console from Third Brother!”

After saying this, she looked at them expectantly, waiting for the final confirmation.

Meng Zhi began, “Daidai, you got them all…”

Seeing Meng Zhi hesitate, Gu Dai anxiously asked, “Did 1 guess wrong? But based on what I know about you, I shouldn’t have.”

Meng Chuan lightly tapped Meng Zhi, scolding, “You’re getting naughtier, teasing Daidai like this. If Big Brother finds out, he won’t let you off!”

Meng Zhi, imagining the scenes of being reprimanded by Big Brother in his youth, hurriedly admitted, “You guessed right, Daidai!”
