1788 Not a Birthday 2
Gu Weiwei had not noticed that Gu Siting was watching her as she was busy preparing the cake.
When the cake was ready, she looked at the shape of the cake and said to herself with a smile, “That should be enough.”
“It’s very pretty,” Gu Siting commented.
Gu Weiwei looked up at the man who had been standing next to her for a long time. “When did you come in?”
“Just now.” Gu Siting smiled elegantly.
Gu Weiwei wiped her hands and said, “The cake is ready, shall we have red wine steak for dinner?”
“Sure.” Gu Siting nodded with a smile.
Gu Weiwei asked as she was dealing with the vegetables and fruits, “How well done would you like it?”
“Medium well.”
With his arms crossed, Gu Siting leaned against the door and watched the girl in the kitchen as if she were the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Gu Weiwei busied herself with the vegetables and started to cook the steak. Soon, everything was ready.
Two plates of French red wine steaks were placed on the table, they looked very exquisite with the colorful vegetables.
Gu Weiwei carried the food to the dining room. “Can we call Mrs. Gu now?”
Gu Siting helped to carry the cake to the table and agreed to her request.
As a matter of fact, more than one hour ago, he had talked with his mother on the phone and asked her to talk with Weiwei according to her request for the time being. As for everything else, he would wait until she returned.
He set up the cake and called Mrs. Gu.
He had just said a few words when he turned around and saw Gu Weiwei rummaging through her handbag.
He covered the phone and asked, “What are you looking for?”
Gu Weiwei scratched her head and said, “Painkillers, I have a headache.”
Gu Siting thought for a while. “Maybe they’re in the car.”
“Oh, I will go and have a look,” Gu Weiwei said and asked him for the car keys.
Gu Siting gave her the phone and said, “Talk with mother, I will go and find them.”
Gu Weiwei nodded with a smile, took the phone and started to search for the birthday candles as she said, “Mother Gu, I thought that I would be able to see you and grandpa, but you were both not here.
“It is my brother’s birthday today, and you are so cruel to leave us by ourselves.”
….
Hearing her whining to her mother, Gu Siting smiled, grabbed the car keys and went to find the painkillers for her.
With the phone in her hand, Gu Weiwei glanced at the living room as she was talking.
Gu Siting had remembered correctly that she took the pills in the car but it took him a long while before he found them.
When he found the medicine, Gu Weiwei and Mrs. Gu had already switched to the video-chat mode, she was proudly showing off the cakes and French food they made.
He put the medicine on the table and saw them chatting happily, so he poured her a cup of water and put it on the table so that she could take the medicine later.
Gu Weiwei threw a look at him and said to Mrs. Gu, “Mother Gu, say happy birthday to brother, we are going to eat now.”
Having said these words, she pointed the phone at Gu Siting.
Mrs. Gu waved at Gu Siting through the phone and said with a complicated expression, “Happy birthday, Siting.”
Gu Weiwei took back the phone and waved at the woman on the phone.
“Bye, Mother Gu, come home soon.”
Mrs. Gu agreed with a smile and waved goodbye to her.
Gu Weiwei rang off, placed the phone on the table, lit the candles and sang the birthday song excitedly.
“Why don’t you make a wish and blow out the candles?”
