Gan Yuan had never been in the habit of celebrating her birthday, and Gan Tang, who was young and unaware of such customs, failed to make it happen last year due to his illness.
This was, in fact, her first birthday celebration in years.
Gan Yuan smiled and lifted her eyes, holding out the cake towards him with both hands.
"So... the first slice is yours!"
Huangfu Jue reached out to take the cake, but the woman, who had appeared submissive, suddenly flashed a mischievous smile. With a slight tilt of her hands, the cake began to lean towards Huangfu Jue.
Just as it seemed about to fall from the tray, a palm swiftly reached out, steadied her hands, and leveled the tilting cake.
Seeing her prank fail, Gan Yuan was not about to admit defeat. She grabbed a handful of cream from the cake behind her, and with a flick of her arm, smeared the cream onto the man's handsome face.
