Chapter 773: Chapter 770: Still Pretending to Care

But because of the cost, they could only enjoy it occasionally, like on birthdays.

"Light the candles, and let Grandpa Gu make a wish!"

Little Princess helped insert the candles into the cake, then waved her little hand and called out, "Grandpa Gu, come over!"

They lit the candles with a match, and the flames flickered in the breeze.

Old Master Gu pushed himself up from his sofa with his hands on his knees, walked over to Guibao, and said with his deep, husky voice, "Alright, I’ll make a wish."

"You have to close your eyes, and you can’t say the wish out loud!" Little Princess reminded him seriously, like an adult.

With her, the Dragon Clan’s Little Princess around, as long as Old Master Gu’s spirit was strong enough, his wishes would come true!

Old Master Gu, who had survived bloody battles on the battlefield, had long since stopped believing in ghosts and spirits, and even birthday cakes, a foreign novelty; had it not been for the children’s fondness for it, he wouldn’t have thought about buying it.

At this moment, he was just trying to make the children happy.

"Okay!" The old master nodded in agreement and indeed closed his eyes to make a wish.

’I hope my grandsons and granddaughters, as well as Guibao, are all healthy and carefree!’

For Old Master Gu, having lived through half a lifetime of blood and storm, and having enjoyed wealth and honor, what he cared about most now were these younger generations.

Once he finished making his wish, Helian Qiao couldn’t wait to say, "Grandpa Gu, I want a super big piece! With lots of cream!"

"Okay." Old Master Gu replied in his deep, low voice.

He specially cut the largest slice of cake for Guibao, full of cream and fruit, and placed it on a large plate.

The others, seeing this, couldn’t help but sigh internally, look at that!

The art of bootlicking came so naturally!

Then they looked at their own children, who were just stretching their necks waiting to eat,

A large cake, and everyone, adults and children alike, got a piece, except for the elderly master and Aunt Wu, who hadn’t eaten.

"When you get old, you don’t fancy sweets as much. You all go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Helian Qiao eagerly suggested, "Grandpa Gu, the cake is delicious! You should try it!"

As she spoke, she cut two pieces with the cake knife, one for Old Master Gu and one for Aunt Wu.

Seeing they were handed to him, Old Master Gu also gave them a try.

"How is it? I told you it’s tasty, right?" Little Princess blinked her moist, large eyes with a face full of conviction.

She was quite the connoisseur!

Old Master Gu nodded and said, "Hmm, it’s indeed good."

Gu Qingyun and his spouse, watching this scene, smiled, knowing how earnest Guibao was in showing respect to the elderly.

And it was without any ulterior motive.

The old master saw right through these intentions!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have treated Guibao as if she were his own granddaughter.

Aunt Wu was even happier, with the sweetness of the cake in her mouth and even greater sweetness in her heart!

The others, while eating their cake, thought to themselves, this person really is impressive!

No wonder they said their children didn’t measure up!

Look at Guibao, even a nanny or maid, she knows how to please with sincerity.

They themselves felt somewhat ashamed!

Let alone their own children.

Their thoughts had already shown in their eyes and on their faces, with that hint of disdain and contempt.

Not only Old Master Gu, but Qingyun and his wife also saw it crystal clear.

Without guessing, they knew what these people were thinking!

These thoughts, after all, came from their tainted hearts; they viewed everything as contaminated.

They measured others by their own petty standards!

Did they really think the family was blind?!

Whether it was genuine sincerity or feigned kindness, the difference was clear.
