"Uncle isn't coming back, is he? Someone is celebrating his birthday, right? He doesn't like the gifts that his mother and Xinxin prepared for him, and he doesn't like to celebrate his birthday with us, right?" Xinxin became more and more sad as she cried.

Enning hugged her daughter tightly and said softly, "Xinxin, mom prepared the birthday cake to thank uncle for taking care of us these days and to give Xinxin many gifts."

"Thank you is not a shackle. You can't force uncle to come back to celebrate our birthday, right?"

Xinxin nodded and shook his head.

"Didn't mom say that you should spend your birthday with the person you love the most? Xinxin wants to spend her birthday with her uncle. If uncle doesn't come back to celebrate our birthday with us, does it mean she doesn't like Xinxin and her mother?"

Enning didn't want to deceive Xinxin with white lies anymore, so she said patiently, "Xinxin, mom told you that mom and uncle are getting divorced."

“Uncle has his own life and will never live with us again.

"Uncle doesn't come back to celebrate his birthday. It's not that he doesn't like Xinxin, but that he has returned to his own circle of life!"

Xinxin drooped her little head and sobbed sadly, "Uncle is leaving us. This is the last birthday we celebrate for uncle. Xinxin wants to celebrate his birthday."

Enning coaxed Xinxin for a while, and when Xinxin finally stopped crying, she put candles on the cake.

"Xinxin, let's make a wish together and wish my uncle happiness, okay?" Enning's face was filled with a smile, which easily aroused Xinxin's emotions.

Children are like this, their emotions come and go quickly, and the emotions of people around them can also directly affect her emotions.

En Ning buried all the heartache and helplessness deep in her heart, smiling so hard that her facial muscles became stiff.

Blow out the candles and eat cake with Xinxin.

Although Xinxin had a smile on her face, she was still unhappy.

En Ning could only do her best, making her daughter happy, helping her take a bubble bath, singing nursery rhymes, and telling her bedtime stories.

Xinxin listened to the Cinderella story and asked, "Mom, are stepfather and stepmother both bad? Do they abuse children?"

Enning thought of Chi Gang, squeezed the storybook in his hand, and kissed his daughter's forehead, "Xinxin, even if all we meet are bad people, we can't deny that there are no good people in this world. There are still more good people in this world."

Enning waited for Xinxin to fall asleep and then stood up gently.

As soon as the door closed, Xinxin opened her eyes, picked up the phone watch on the bedside, and sent a voice message to Yangyang.

"Brother, I'm so sad today!"

Yangyang's message came back quickly, "Xinxin, what's wrong with you? Has your stepfather abused you?"

"No, today is my uncle's birthday, but he didn't come home. I wanted to call my uncle, but my mother wouldn't let me, for fear of disturbing my uncle." Xinxin said in a low voice, tears falling down.

"What a coincidence, today is also my dad's birthday. We went to many places today, including an amusement park, horse riding at a racecourse, and a water park. We didn't come back until after nine o'clock! We are cutting the cake now! My mom bought an extra-large It’s a very beautiful cake, let me take a picture to show you.”

Yangyang sent a photo of the cake.

Xinxin stared at the back of the man in the photo carefully.

Why does Yangyang's father look so much like his uncle?

"I'm so envious of you. You have your father with you." Xinxin said enviously.

Yangyang thought Xinxin missed her father and asked, "Xinxin, is your father really dead? Have you seen the body? Will your mother lie to you? They adults like to lie to children most. There is no truth in their mouths, My mommy is like this, she always lies to me and daddy."

"I didn't see the body. I wasn't born yet! My mother said that my father died miserably. He was crushed to death by a large truck and his head was missing."

"That's so miserable." Yangyang sighed, "Xinxin, what does your father look like? Do you have a photo?"

"No. Mom said that since Dad is dead, it would be unlucky to look at the photos."

Yangyang sighed, "You must miss your dad very much, right?"

"No! I miss my uncle, and I want my uncle to come home. I made a birthday card for my uncle, but I haven't given it to him yet." Xinxin picked up the card on the table and drew three people, her little self, her beautiful mother, Handsome uncle, they were holding hands and laughing happily in the sunshine.

Xinxin looked at the painting, tears falling down.

Yangyang sent another message, "If you don't come home for your birthday, your stepfather won't cheat on you, right?"

"What is cheating?" Xinxin didn't understand.

"Cheating means there is another woman outside. My mom said, my dad is cheating on me."

"You are so pitiful, are you sad?" Xinxin asked.

"I'm not sad! That's their business, why should I be sad?"

Xinxin didn't want to hear Yangyang say bad things about her uncle, "My uncle is very good, he won't cheat!"

"He's probably lying to you if he's nice to you!" Yangyang said.

"No way, my mother said, always think of the good in everything and don't always think of people as bad."

Xinxin didn't want to talk anymore, so she put down her phone and watch, covered herself with a quilt, and she cried in grievance.

"Uncle will never have another woman, not even if he divorces my mother."

Enning sat on the dining chair, stuffing the cake into his mouth one by one with a numb expression.

At this moment, the phone rang.

She hurriedly picked it up and was a little disappointed when she saw it was Gu Ruoyan's call.

Gu Ruoyan and Han Bing received their certificates as scheduled today. Seeing their reconciliation, Enning was very happy, sent blessings, and joked that there was no treat for Gu Ruoyan on her big day.

"Today is not your husband's birthday, so I don't dare to disturb your two-person world! How was your birthday? Are you happy? Don't forget to give him a big surprise tonight and be a sexy little goblin."

"To make the relationship between husband and wife a reality, any contract or not will not count!"

"We had a great time today. We cut the cake, blew out the candles, and ate longevity noodles." Enning didn't want to ruin the good mood of her friend receiving the certificate, and after chatting for a while with a forced smile, Gu Ruoyan suddenly said.

"Well, have you seen the eldest lady's circle of friends? Her brother's birthday is today too, what a coincidence, isn't it?"

Enning clicked on Moments and saw Chu Manke posted a picture of a cake with the text, Happy birthday, brother.

En Ning's heart suddenly tightened.

Gu Ruoyan's voice came from the receiver, "Well, you said their surname is Chu, can't they be brothers and sisters?"

"The eldest lady's brother is a big boss, worth hundreds of billions, and my husband is an ordinary working man. If they are brother and sister, Li Chuan and Man have no reason to hide it from us."

Chu Lichuan said that he did not know Chu Manke.

Enning hung up the phone, smashed the cake, prepared to throw it into the trash can, and then put it back on the dining table after thinking about it.

Beautiful fantasies are not easy to let go of.

She was still looking forward to Chu Lichuan coming back.

I took a shower and went to bed. I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Looking at the empty place beside him, he stroked it gently, and it seemed that the scent of Chu Lichuan still lingered on it.

En Ning's eyes were sore and she held back tears.

Chi Enning, please wake up and don’t expect too much about things that don’t belong to you.

If you don’t have high hopes, you won’t be disappointed!

Enning closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

The images in the dream were intermittent. A man forcefully dragged her into a dark room and took possession of her domineeringly...

She kept screaming and begging for mercy, but to no avail.

Afterwards, the man whispered something in her ear...

Enning woke up suddenly, gasping for breath, and large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

There was a sound of unlocking outside the door.

His movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing anyone.

Enning glanced at the time, it was past 2 o'clock in the morning.

She got up and got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Chu Lichuan standing in the living room, looking at the torn cake on the dining table in a daze.

"This is..." Chu Lichuan pointed at the cake and looked at Enning.

"I did it!" Enning said.

Chu Lichuan felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.
