He Di looked hurt as he looked at Mo Rao innocently. “Alright, I understand.”
With that, he turned around and left silently.
Looking at that lonely back figure, Mo Rao wondered if she was overreacting. After all, this wasn’t He Di’s fault. He had come over just now to show concern for her.
No, she couldn’t be so soft-hearted. Hadn’t she suffered enough? Mo Rao quickly reminded herself.
Mo Rao and He Di didn’t have many scenes together. They had finished filming a few days ago, so the two of them didn’t interact much after that.
In order to reassure Mo Rao, He Di even took the initiative to stay away from her, but he kept looking at her with a hurt and sad expression, making her feel bad.
“Rao Rao.”
After filming for a day, Mo Rao was waiting for Mo Yuan to pick her up. In the end, Fu Ying came.
“Why are you here?” Mo Rao asked in surprise.
Fu Ying smiled. “I’m here to pick you up. Have you forgotten that today is my mother’s birthday?”
Mo Rao slapped her head. She had forgotten about such an important matter. It was mainly because the various things that had happened in the past few days preoccupied her mind. She said anxiously, “What should I do? I didn’t even prepare a gift. Hurry up and send me to the mall. There should be some stores that are still open!”
“You just have to be there. My mother doesn’t care about gifts. She’ll be very happy if you celebrate her birthday with her.” When Fu Ying saw Mo Rao’s anxious expression, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Mo Rao immediately shook her head. “No, no, there must be a gift. Send me there quickly!”
Fu Ying couldn’t dissuade her and could only bring her to the mall. Fortunately, it was still early. The jewelry shop in the mall wasn’t closed yet. Mo Rao chose a jade necklace for Mo Wan. Mo Wan was a mature and aloof woman. This necklace suited her temperament.
“Phew.” After buying the gift, Mo Rao heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, how could she have the cheek to go to the Fu family’s old residence?
“Can we set off now?” Fu Ying’s eyes were filled with affection. This woman was still the same as before. She cared about her family and showed it through her actions. She wasn’t just all talk.
“Alright!” Mo Rao replied with a smile. “I don’t have to buy the cake. I believe Uncle must have made a very delicious cake!”
Fu Lin doted on his wife. Today was Mo Wan’s birthday. He would definitely show off his skills.
However, Mo Wan didn’t like to be too extravagant. Her birthday celebration was simple every year. She would either spend it at home or with her law firm colleagues.
Fu Ying wanted to pat Mo Rao’s head, but he was afraid that this action would be too ambiguous and make her resist him, so he could only retract his hand.
The car drove all the way to the Fu family’s old residence. Everyone was waiting for Mo Rao.
Mo Yun and Shen Ting were also present today, but Shen Feng wasn’t. He had been too busy these two days.
Seeing Mo Yun and Shen Ting, Mo Rao was extremely embarrassed. She had just gone to the Shen family’s home for dinner two days ago, and today, she was celebrating Mo Wan’s birthday at the Fu family’s home.
“Rao Rao!” Mo Wan was very happy to see Mo Rao. She quickly went over to hold her hand before sitting on the sofa.
“Auntie, happy birthday!” Mo Rao said sweetly and took out the gift she had bought.
Mo Wan liked the exquisite and elegant jade necklace very much. Every time Mo Rao bought something, it was very to her liking.
Mo Wan immediately put on the necklace, which matched her temperament.
“Yes, Rao Rao still has such good taste,” Old Madam Fu praised.
“It really suits you!” Mo Yun praised generously.
Mo Rao scratched her head in embarrassment. She had bought this in a hurry at the last minute. It was fine as long as Mo Wan didn’t mind.
At this moment, Fu Lin came out with the cake. He placed the cake on the table. There were beautiful roses and hearts on the cake and the words “Happy Birthday, Wifey” were written on it.
“Now that Rao Rao is here, we can eat the cake,” Old Madam Fu said happily.
Mo Wan nodded. Fu Lin lit candles for her, while Mo Rao took the lead to sing the birthday song. The atmosphere was cozy and harmonious. As Fu Ying stood beside Mo Rao, he couldn’t help but look at her. Her beautiful side profile was mesmerizing, and her singing voice was crisp yet pleasant.
Mo Wan pressed her palms together as she made a wish.
Her wish was very simple. She hoped that her disappointing son could win Mo Rao back.
After making her wish, Mo Wan blew out the candle.
The others applauded. Fu Lin hugged Mo Wan as he said emotionally, “Honey, happy birthday. I hope you’ll be happy every day.”
“Thank you!” Mo Wan smiled and nodded. Then, she took the knife and fork Fu Lin handed her and began to cut the cake.
Mo Rao liked Fu Lin’s cake very much. Mo Wan cut the largest piece for her. The family sat together and ate the cake while chatting. At this moment, Mo Yuan called because when he went to pick her up, he realized that the production team had already gotten off work.
