Admittedly, the gift was indeed very thoughtful, Zhou Shengyu nodded approvingly, and his expression softened accordingly.

"Big brother, what gift did you give?" Zhou Zehao turned to look at Xu Yanshu, asking curiously, then nodded to himself, "You don't know, do you?"

“My mom is a qipao enthusiast, especially the qipaos designed by Huang Ying.”

He really didn't know that!

Xu Yanshu looked embarrassed for a moment, realizing that the jade bracelet he had given her seemed too ordinary compared to the others.

"Alright, it's the thought that counts when you give a gift. I'll like whatever you bring!" Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, Shen Wei quickly spoke up to smooth things over, taking Xu Yanshu's arm as she said, "Yanshu, it's so late, why don't you stay at home tonight?"

Xu Yanshu gently shook his head and politely declined, saying, "Let's do it another day. I have a client to meet tomorrow morning."

Although he knew that the two people in front of him were his biological parents, he couldn't feel at ease making this place his home.

Shen Wei was about to say something when Zhou Shengyu interrupted her, pulling her to the cake.

"Alright, don't force the child. There's always another day. Come on, let's cut the cake."

He could understand his lover's eagerness; perhaps they really needed to live together before she could believe that their son was truly back.

However, Yan Shu also needs a process of acceptance and adaptation; forcing him might have the opposite effect.

Xu Yanshu glanced at the people gratefully, and then they all gathered around the cake.

After lighting the candles, the father and his two sons joined Shen Wei in a lively cake-cutting ceremony. Before leaving, Shen Wei suddenly made a wish.

"I hope that our family can celebrate my birthday together again next year on this day!"

Zhou Shengyu looked at his wife with doting eyes, "Of course, we are family after all."

That's hard to say; who knows, Xu Yanshu might end up being killed by me one day!

Zhou Zehao curled his lips into an ambiguous smile, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

"Dad, Mom, I'll head back now!"

Hearing "Mom" brought tears to Shen Wei's eyes, and she nodded excitedly, "Okay!"

"Then be careful on the road!"

"I'll see my brother off!" Seeing Xu Yanshu turn and leave, Zhou Zehao said this and followed after him.

After passing through the front hall, Xu Yanshu stopped at the opportune moment.

What are you trying to say?

"It's nothing, just seeing you off!" Zhou Zehao shrugged nonchalantly, but his expression turned sinister in the next instant. "Xu Yanshu, you should be someone who can take a joke!"
