As a result of that dream, Summer Foam was still groggy when she dressed the children.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Nannan looked at the clothes that her brother was wearing and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Ah, what's wrong?" Xia Mu recovered his wits and asked.

"Mom, that's my clothes." Beside him, the baby reminded him.

Only then did Xia Mu realise that he had taken the wrong clothes, and she quickly changed it. She apologetically said, "I'm really sorry, Mom was wrong."

While she was grooming Nannan, Nannan asked, "Mom, are you not feeling well?"

Xia Mu's dexterous fingers braided the little girl's hair, and he asked with a smile, "No, why do you ask?"

"You woke up late in the morning and took our clothes wrong. Besides, I told you yesterday that you need to wear four braids, but …" Nannan pointed to her hair and said.

Eh?

Xia Mu's words were poor, it seemed that she had been absent-minded since she woke up in the morning.

"Then, mom will comb your hair again?" Xia Mu asked.

"Forget it, there isn't enough time. I have to go to school."

Within the city, there was Lan Cai's flagship shop.

Over the past few years, she had focused most of her energy on accompanying Mu. She hadn't done anything like patrolling the store for a long time.

"These are a few new ones. They're selling quite well." The branch manager followed behind Sheng Huan and introduced the business situation.

Huanhuan listened and nodded as he commented from time to time. Who would have thought that the little girl who had been hiding in the kitchen and painstakingly associated with carving techniques had now grown up to be the famous Queen of Desserts of the whole city.

Inside the flagship store, there was probably a mini set up. At this moment, Sheng Huan was talking to someone.

"Let's make a phone call and have someone deliver it to you. You even went over there personally." Sheng Huan said with a smile as he held the cup.

The man sitting opposite him was dressed in casual clothes. He stood tall and straight as he answered with a smile, "I came to see what new products you have in your store. I can't think of a chance to taste your food, but I can't think of one."

Sheng Huan smiled faintly and said, "It's rare for you to come back. When are you planning to leave?"

"When my birthday is over, I'm going back," he replied. I have already missed several birthdays. If I do not appear this time, I'm afraid that little uncle will not recognize me! "

At this time, the manager of the branch came over with a decorated cake box. He respectfully said, "Your cake is ready."

Mu Dongfang took the cake and thanked him. The manager of the branch stepped aside and didn't dare to disturb him.

"Whose birthday?" Huan Huan was curious about the birthday that would bring Mu Dongdong to buy the cake himself.

"A friend," he replied.

"Girlfriend?"

Mu Dongfang smiled, but didn't deny it.

He laughed heartily.

Rainbow kindergarten, classroom.

"Sister, did you call uncle?" Taking advantage of the teacher's lack of attention, the baby came close to Nannan and whispered.

"En, I called him at noon. Uncle agreed and said that he would come in the evening." Today was his mother's birthday, so Nannan wanted to give her mother a happy birthday.

"Then, what gift are we going to give them?" the baby asked.

Nannan took out a piece of drawing paper and handed the baby a crayon, "Let's draw a picture for mother!"

The two children moved separately, the baby was in charge of painting, and Nannan was in charge of painting.

"This is me, this is you, this is mom, and this is uncle." Pointing to the person in the painting, Poppet says.

"Aiya, why am I shorter than you!? I am clearly taller than you! " Nannan pointed at the little girl on the painting and unhappily asked.

The baby cast a sidelong glance at his sister and said, "This painting is about the future. In the future, I will be taller than you!"

Chapter 263 Happy Birthday

When Mu Dongdong appeared in the courtyard with the cake, Nannan and the baby were sitting under a tree in the courtyard playing.

The gate to the courtyard was open and Nannan was sitting right in front of it. With a glance, she saw Mu Xiangdong who entered.

"Uncle!" Nannan let out a loud cry as she ran towards him.

Mu Dong lowered his head and smiled at the girl who was hugging his leg. "Do you miss me?"

Nannan nodded her head with a smile.

The baby stood half a step away, its long, slender eyes smiling as it stared at Mu Dongfang.

"Mom, come out quickly, there's a guest at home!" Nannan's loud voice rang out in the courtyard as Xia Mu was in the room changing his bedding. Hearing the commotion, she walked out.

He saw a tall and straight man with a distinct face looking at him with a warm smile.

The first thought in his mind was, why would he come here?

"Uncle, quick, go into the house." Nannan was very cordial as she pulled Mu Dongdong towards the west house.

Xia Mu stood by the door and watched the man being pulled into the house by his daughter. Only then did he react and follow her into the house.

The cake was placed on the table. It was a very delicate box, and judging from the package alone, it was worth a lot.

"Why did you come?" Xia Mu poured a cup of water and asked in a low voice.

Mu Dongfang smiled and replied, "Nannan invited me."

Xia Mu glanced at his daughter, and Nannan snuggled up to Mu Dongfang's side, smiling at him.

"Mom, it's your birthday today. The three of us will celebrate it together." The baby held onto Xia Mu's hand, his long and slender eyes were full of seriousness, as he said with a smile.

Xia Mu lovingly caressed his son's little face, the emotions in his eyes churning. It's her birthday, she almost couldn't remember what day it was.

Today was Xia Mu's 24th birthday, but in fact, Xia Mu had almost forgotten about it. In his memory, when his parents were still alive, they would cook her a bowl of longevity noodles every year. After her parents' car accident, only Grandma Xia was left with her birthday. After the birth of the dragon and phoenix, Xia Mu only remembered to give the children a birthday, but he had forgotten his own birthday.

But today, this man Mu Dongdong actually knew her birthday.

It was just that the longevity noodles had been personally cooked by Mu Dongfang and had been served for four nights. Two big bowls, two small bowls, and on Xia Mu's bowl, there was even a bowl of egg, which was warm and exuding heat.

The cake was placed in the middle of the small table, and when the box was opened, the two children gasped in admiration.

"So beautiful!" Nannan happily said.

Poppet looks at the cake in the middle of the table, her eyes full of surprise.

A twelve-inch round cake, placed on a small table, seemed very big, enough for four people. Cream molded four tiny figures in three dimensions.

"This is me, that is the baby. The one with braids must be mother so then …" Nannan pointed at a little person with short hair and mischievously said, "This is uncle!"

The four of them held hands, as if the four of them were a family of four that loved each other.

Mu Dongfang's eyes became more and more fervent. In his black eyes, there was an unbreakable yearning. Xia Mu raised his eyes and met the man's gaze. She stared at him with a crimson face.

Under the light, the naive words of the children, the light smile of the young mother, the tenderness of the strong man, converge into a song of love.

Chapter 264 - Wishing

The task of inserting the candles was given to the two children. Nannan took a "2" number candle while the baby took a "4" number candle. The two children carefully inserted the candles into the cake.

"Uncle, light the candle." When Nannan gave the order, Mu Dong struck a match and the candle lit up.

"I'll turn off the lights." The baby got up and ran to turn off the light.

The room immediately turned dark as the light from the candles shone on everyone's faces.

"Next, let's sing a birthday song." Nannan clapped her hands and said with a smile.

"Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday …"

The childish voices of the children, along with the deep, magnetic voice of the men, made her eyes turn red from the summer foam, and she began to sing along with them.

The singing and the April breeze came from the house and came to the courtyard.

"Come, make a wish." Mu Dongdong looked at Xia Mu and said with a smile.

Nannan and the baby sat to the side, staring at Xia Mu.

Xia Mu replied embarrassedly, "I don't think I need to make a wish."

"No, this must be done." It was his birthday, so how could he not wish for it?

"Xia Mu, you have to wish for your birthday." Mu Dongdong looked at Xia Mu and smiled as he answered.

Xia Mu closed his eyes, placed his palms together, and made a wish.

"Mom, what did you wish for?" When she opened her eyes, Nannan impatiently asked.

"Elder sister, you can't say what you wish for. Saying it out loud won't work." The baby looked at his sister with an expression that said, "Why don't you understand this simple logic?"

As they were cutting the cake, the two children had a disagreement. The cake with Mudong's little person was being eaten by the two children. Finally, after some negotiation, the two children reached an agreement that each of them would eat half of the cake.

"Uncle, eat this." The baby brought a fork and an unpracticed slice of cake to Mu Dongdong. The little person on it was a young mother with a ponytail.

"Thank you." Mudong gladly accepted the baby's gift.

The cake was very delicious, as it was the prettiest and most delicious cake Nannan and Baby have ever seen. In the past when they were having their birthdays, there was only a small cake, and the two of them ate it while Xia Mu just watched the children eat.

The sweetness from the entrance, Xia Mu smiled as he looked at the children. The children's faces were brimming with happy smiles, and her heart was also filled with happiness. All of these were brought about by the man in front of her.

"Thank you." Xia Mu said in a low voice as he looked at the man, his lips moving slightly.

Mu Dongfang accepted her thanks with a smile. As the children lowered their heads to eat the cake, he stretched out his long arm and gently touched Xia Mu's lips with his thumb. It happened so quickly that Xia Mu forgot to react.

Her face was completely red.

Mu Dongdong pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word. There was a bit of cream on his thumb. Xia Mu watched as the man put his thumb to his lips, licked it, and winked at him.

Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head, unconsciously stuffing a large piece of cake into his mouth, choking on it.

"Cough cough — —" Throwing away the plate, Xia Mu lightly coughed.

This movement was naturally noticed by Nannan and the baby.

"You're so careless when eating." A glass of water was passed to him.

Xia Mu drank a few mouthfuls of water with a red face, his cheeks puffed and his eyes wide open as he stared at Mu Dongfang. There was a hint of shyness, anger and an indescribable emotion in those bright eyes, which made Mu Dongfang's smile grow even wider.
