Chapter 1534: True family

Ye Chen looked at the three people whose bodies, spirits, and appearances were at least five or six years younger, and felt extra gratified in his heart.

After his parents passed away, he had always been alone and had never experienced the feeling of having a real family.

After marrying Xiao Churan, Ye Chen had a home, but the Xiao family at that time was really much worse to him than to outsiders. Except for his wife Xiao Churan who treated him as family, who else had the appearance of a family member?

Even his mother-in-law and father-in-law now have a very good attitude towards him, but Ye Chen knows very well that these are all exchanged for various interests and favors. Compared with Gu Yanzhong's family, it is naturally ten thousand miles away.

After all, this family of three, Gu Yanzhong, has feelings for him from the bottom of their hearts, without any interest components. This is the real, pure family.

Seeing that their mental state has improved a lot, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Gu, Auntie Lin, and Nannan, this cup of water just now should be able to maintain your current physical state for at least three to five years. During this period, your body's resistance will also exceed most people, and you will basically not get sick."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen added: "However, you still have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't let yourself become more busy and tired because your body has become better."

The family of three nodded one after another. Lin Wanqiu wiped away her tears and said earnestly: "Chen'er, don't worry, Auntie and your Uncle Gu will definitely put the combination of work and rest in the first place in the future. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of your great gift..."

Gu Yanzhong also sighed: "That's right, health is the most important thing!"

Ye Chen smiled gratifiedly and said: "It is great that you two have this understanding."

Just as he was talking, Hong Wu knocked on the door and said: "Master Ye, the cake ordered by Miss Gu is ready, should I send it in now?"

Ye Chen was about to speak, but Gu Qiuyi hurriedly said: "Don't rush!"

After saying this, she hurriedly said to Ye Chen: "Brother Ye Chen, wait for me for a while, I will check if there is any problem with the cake!"

Subsequently, she said to Gu Yanzhong: "Dad, you turn off the lights first, and then turn them on after blowing out the candles!"

Gu Yanzhong hurriedly turned off the lights in the private room, and Gu Qiuyi opened the door a crack and slipped out sideways.

A moment later, she gently pushed open the door, only to see her pushing a dining car in. On the dining car, there was a five-layer cake.

From the 1st to the 4th layer of this cake, each layer had 6 candles, and the top layer had three candles, totaling 27.

What made Ye Chen feel strange was that on the top layer of the cake, two very, very realistic dolls were made with fondant.

What made him feel even more strange was that these two dolls were a little boy and a little girl. The boy was a little older, about five or six years old, and the girl was a little younger, about three or four years old.

The clothes of these two children were very age-appropriate. At a glance, it was at least 20 years ago.

However, even if it was the clothing of 20 years ago, it could still be seen that the clothing on both of them was very exquisite and detailed.

And the posture of these two people was also very interesting. The boy stood in place, obviously a head shorter, while the girl was shyly holding the boy's arm on the side. Looking closely at the expressions of the two, they were also vivid. The boy's expression at this time was a bit dull, even a bit at a loss, while the girl looked very happy, smiling like a flower.

Ye Chen looked at these two cute dolls and always had a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them for a while.

At this time, Gu Qiuyi, who was beside him, looked at Ye Chen with a smile and asked: "Brother Ye Chen, do these two children look familiar to you?"

Ye Chen nodded repeatedly and said: "Familiar, and very familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen them for a while."

Lin Wanqiu on the side smiled and said: "Silly child, aren't these you and Nannan? This is when you were young, and it was your 6th birthday!"

Ye Chen couldn't help exclaiming: "Really? I said why it looked so familiar, but I don't have any specific memory of the scene at that time."

Lin Wanqiu nodded, took out an album from her handbag, then opened the album, found a yellowed old photo, and handed it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took it and saw that it was indeed him and Gu Qiuyi, and the clothing, appearance, movements, and even expressions of the two were exactly the same as the fondant dolls on the cake.

Lin Wanqiu on the side said with a smile: "That day, after you finished singing the birthday song, Nannan kept clamoring to marry you as a wife. You said you didn't agree at first, but your parents and I told you that you must marry Nannan as your wife when you grow up, so your expression looked very aggrieved, saying that you didn't want to marry a follower who stuck to you all day long, and then when you were taking pictures, you were a bit unhappy, which is this look."

Ye Chen looked at the photo and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He remembered many things from that year, but many things from that year only had an outline in his mind, and the relevant pictures had long been blurred to the point

This was mainly because, ever since his parents passed away, he had completely lost the channels and avenues to recover his visual memories.

For so many years, he didn't even have a single photo of himself as a child, nor any photos of himself with his parents during his childhood, or even photos of his parents when they were young.

So much so that after all these years, even his parents' faces had become somewhat blurry and indistinct in his memory.

Therefore, when he first saw these fondant figurines, he hadn't even thought that they were actually himself and Gu Qiuyi.

Now, suddenly seeing this old photo of himself and Gu Qiuyi from their childhood, Ye Chen was naturally filled with a thousand emotions.

Gu Qiuyi, who was on the side, asked him with a grin: "Brother Ye Chen, do you like this cake?"

"I like it, I really like it!" Ye Chen exclaimed sincerely: "I really didn't expect this cake to be made so realistically!"

Gu Qiuyi smiled and said: "This was made by the most brilliant fondant cake master in Yanjing. The number of people lining up to have her make fondant cakes is countless, and many of them are very, very famous tycoons and socialites. I booked this birthday cake with her months ago, and having my parents bring it all the way from Yanjing was just to give you a surprise."

Ye Chen looked at the figurines on the cake, looking at the innocent and childlike appearance of himself and Gu Qiuyi, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings; his eyes even felt a bit hot and moist.

So, he quickly smiled and joked: "Oh my, these figurines are made so beautifully that I can't bear to eat them."

Gu Qiuyi laughed: "Brother Ye Chen, these figurines weren't meant for you to eat in the first place; they are for you to keep as a souvenir. Aside from the fondant figurines, everything else can be eaten."
