A waiter brought out a two-layer birthday cake. The overall shape was exquisite and elegant, with the main body in a light purple, as romantic and charming as a sea of lavender flowers. The sides of the cake had exquisite embossed patterns.
The edge of the cake was adorned with a circle of delicate white pearl sugar granules, resembling twinkling stars in the night sky. Atop it all bloomed a cluster of pink peonies, their petals delicate and lifelike, layered one on top of the other. Surrounding the peonies were small pale blue flowers and tender green leaves.
Lai Leshi said, "This cake looks better than the one we had this afternoon. The cake at the wedding just now was mainly beautiful because of the two dolls. Aunt Tiantian, please cut the cake quickly."
Su Tiantian said, "You just don't want to sing the birthday song. Fine, let's cut the cake."
Liu Jingze said: "Shishi doesn't like singing birthday songs?"
Su Tiantian explained: "She doesn't like singing birthday songs when she's the only child. She needs to have more children to sing with her."
Seeing Su Tiantian handing her the cake first, Grandma Lu took it and said, "Tiantian, sit down quickly. Jingze will do these things."
She did this of course because she didn't want the pregnant Su Tiantian to be too tired, even though it was just a small thing.
Lai Leshi said bluntly: "Uncle Jingze, you have fallen out of favor."
How could Liu Jingze be angry? He took over the task of cutting and serving the cake and said, "It seems that Shishi is not surprised. I really want to know how Mr. Lai fell from favor."
Lai Lok-shi said: "I have three aunts who often send me gifts. Now they say everything they send is for my mother. They also say they will come to take care of her when she gives birth. My father said that he has fallen out of favor, but fortunately he still has me. Whenever he carries me around, the aunts get nervous."
Lai Leshi's words made everyone laugh.
Su Tiantian said, "Your three aunts said they were coming to take care of you, but they were just here to take a look. They really were just here to take a look. They also have a nanny and a confinement nanny. I guess your mother will even stay in a confinement center."
Lai Shishi said: "I'm not staying in a confinement center. I've already booked a confinement nanny and hired two more. Mom said she stayed at home after giving birth to me, and stayed in a confinement center after giving birth to my sister. She still feels home is better, so this time I'm staying at home, but I'm staying in the villa. My aunt and grandmother will take turns staying with Mom."
Sang Yimei said: "With a nanny and a confinement nanny, and the elders around, it's good to stay at home during the confinement period."
Su Tiantian said, "Shishi, your family originally had three nannies. If you hire two more, there will be five."
Lai Leshi took the cake from Liu Jingze and said, "Thank you, Uncle Jingze. Dad said to hire two more people in advance to see if they can do the job. If not, we will quickly replace them. We must take good care of Mom."
Liu Liangjie said: "That makes sense. It seems I should also quickly confirm the candidates for the confinement nanny and babysitter."
Sang Yimei said, "Brother Liang, I want to go over and take care of Tiantian for a while. Although I'm not as professional as a confinement nanny, I still want to spend more time with Tiantian."
Liu Liangjie said: "I couldn't ask for more. I don't know when Tiantian will give birth. The doctor said it might be early. Even if we have a confinement nanny, she might be replaced by someone else. We can hire a nanny in advance. Just like Mr. Lai said, we can see if she can do the job. If not, we can quickly replace her."
Lai Leshi leaned against Su Tiantian and said, "Auntie Tiantian, when you have children, tell me and I will bring them gifts."
Su Tiantian whispered in Lai Leshi's ear, "Okay, if those nannies and bodyguards treat you badly, you have to tell your father. You can't just say anything. It doesn't matter whether your mother gave birth to a brother or a sister, you are the eldest daughter of the Lai family."
Lai Leshi said: "I understand. I will also keep an eye on those nannies and ask them to take good care of my mother."
Grandma Lu said to Liu Jingze: "Tiantian and Miss Lai have a really good relationship."
Liu Jingze was a little helpless: "With her around, I, as her husband, have to stand aside."
Granny Lu said with an indulgent look: "You are so overbearing that you even make little girls jealous."
