Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

Chapter 993: The 80th Birthday (Part 14)

Mu Qinghan’s eyes lit up, and he praised Mu Haiyun with a smile.

Just then, Mrs. Han came over with the fruit cake made by Tian Tian, and everyone’s attention was quickly drawn to it.

Old Madam Mu wasn’t pleased and glanced at her eldest granddaughter, speaking cheerfully.

"Haiyun, since it’s a birthday gift for your grandfather, how can you send it directly to the study without showing it to us?"

Mu Haiyun was slightly taken aback, then showed a shy smile on her face.

"Grandma, didn’t you say you don’t care for those things?"

Old Madam Mu pretended to be angry and glared at Mu Haiyun. Although her tone was reproachful, her face still carried a loving smile.

"Grandma doesn’t care to see, but your mom, dad, and grandpa are all here!"

Mu Haiyun: "..."

Mrs. Han had just put down the cake when Old Madam Mu called her over to bring out the birthday gift Mu Haiyun had sent to the study.

Mu Qinghan glanced at his old wife, understanding her intention. Luckily, their youngest granddaughter was focused on the cake and didn’t notice.

Looking at his son Mu Yi and grandson Haiyang, who were still smiling, he felt relieved.

As for Bai Chenyao, Mu Qinghan knew the temperament of this young master from the Bai Family. Since he stayed over last night and came downstairs with their granddaughter this morning, what more could he say?

However, it was clear what his eldest granddaughter was thinking. Mu Qinghan’s eyes showed complex emotions as he thought about it.

When Tian Tian was cutting the cake, Mrs. Han had already brought over the scholar’s four treasures.

"Master, this is the birthday gift from the eldest miss for you!"

Mu Qinghan’s attention was drawn to it, and Mu Yi, who also loved literature and ink, couldn’t help but look over.

"Xuan brushes, Xuan paper, Huimo from Jixi Xuan City, and one of the four famous inkstones, the clay inkstone. Haiyun, you’ve been thoughtful!"

When Mu Yi looked at his eldest daughter, his eyes were full of admiration, which reassured Mu Haiyun. However, she maintained a composed and elegant smile as she softly spoke.

"I thought that Grandpa wanted for nothing except his love for calligraphy, so I personally chose these during a business trip to Xuan City half a year ago."

Hearing that his eldest granddaughter had been preparing his gift since half a year ago, Mu Qinghan felt particularly pleased.

He looked at Mu Haiyun with a gentle and affectionate expression.

"Haiyun has indeed been thoughtful!"

His gaze moved to Tian Tian, who was cutting the cake, to see her nodding in agreement. He smiled lightly and looked at Tian Tian.

"Tian Tian has also been thoughtful. This birthday cake is the first time someone has personally made something like this for this old man, although it’s not as valuable as the scholar’s four treasures, it’s precious for its filial piety. You both are very good!"

Mu Qinghan’s peripheral vision swept over Bai Chenyao beside Tian Tian, then looked at his eldest granddaughter Mu Haiyun, who showed no signs, and finally at his youngest granddaughter, who was full of smiles and innocence, with deep reflection in his eyes.

Bai Chenyao took a piece of cake and handed it to Mu Qinghan.

"Mr. Mu, Chenyao offers this flower to Buddha, wishing you longevity and prosperity!"

Mu Qinghan was slightly surprised, evidently not expecting Bai Chenyao to give his blessings at this time, making it clear he didn’t see himself as an outsider.

Recalling how Bai Chenyao unabashedly stayed over at the Mu Family last night, though not in the same room as their granddaughter, the intention was clear.

Mu Qinghan accepted the cake with a kind smile and spoke in a warm voice.

"I must thank Chenyao for taking care of Tian Tian over these years!"
