Jiang Jingxiu frowned, looking at her, and said, "The past is long gone. Do you intend to hold onto it forever? Isn't it painful to live like this?"
Jiang Jingxiu thought she was referring to the past events in the Jiang family and that she still harbored resentment because of them.
Jiang Mi almost had a heart attack from his words. She glared at him furiously. He had almost caused her death, and now he was telling her to let go?
"You're sick!" Jiang Mi said angrily, turning away from him.
Jiang Jingxiu frowned, pushing the cake forward. "Eat the cake. You bought it yourself, you should at least eat some, shouldn't you? Won't you feel like you're losing out if you don't eat it?"
Jiang Mi: "..."
Mianmian then brought over two more plates of cake. She happily gave Jiang Jingxiu a piece, and the other piece was hers. She said, "Mom and Dad, eat cake."
Jiang Mi smiled, put down her phone, picked up a fork, and took a bite of the cake on her plate. She smiled and said, "It tastes good. Mianmian has good taste. Young Master Jiang, you should thank Mianmian. She picked this for you."
"Of course, I must thank my daughter, and also thank her mother for giving me such a wonderful child," Jiang Jingxiu said, reaching out to stroke his daughter's head.
Mianmian's eyes curved into a smile, and she was in an exceptionally good mood, having completely forgotten all the unpleasantness before.
"Yes, Mom is the great contributor of our family. I also want to thank Mom for not disliking me and giving birth to me." Mianmian looked at her parents with great happiness.
Jiang Mi frowned, looking at her daughter, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I dislike you? You are my most precious treasure."
"But I'm not healthy, and it's Mom's unwavering care that has allowed me to grow this big." Mianmian had always felt indebted to her mother since she was young. She knew that children in other families were different from her; other children were very healthy and didn't cost their mothers so much money.
But she was different. Her health was very poor, and she had surgery, which cost her mother a lot of money and made her mother work so hard every day.
If it weren't for her, her mother's life would surely be different, brighter and more brilliant without her as a burden.
"You are my daughter, of course, I should take care of you and protect you. This is what I should do. What are you thinking about with that little head of yours? Don't always think about those unnecessary things, eat your cake quickly," Jiang Mi said, reaching out and stroking her daughter's head.
"Okay, Mom." Mianmian smiled and used her small fork to get a bit of cake and directly offered it to her mother's lips.
Jiang Mi opened her mouth and ate it. Mianmian then got the second piece and offered it directly to her father. Jiang Jingxiu glanced at Jiang Mi and opened his mouth to eat it.
Jiang Mi: "..."
She had just licked that fork.
Seeing her daughter's carefree demeanor, she could only silently eat the piece in front of her.
"My darling daughter is so thoughtful. The cake you feed me is exceptionally sweet." Jiang Jingxiu smiled flirtatiously. Jiang Mi, as someone who had experienced it all, understood his unspoken meaning. She suppressed the urge to smear the cake all over his face and continued eating hers, pretending not to hear.
Mianmian had no idea what her father was talking about and thought he was genuinely complimenting the cake. "Then, Dad, I'll feed you again. It's your birthday today, and you're the most important. Your happiness is what matters most."
Mianmian continued to use the fork to get cake and feed him. Jiang Jingxiu ate with great relish. He, who usually didn't touch sweets, managed to eat a slice of cake.
"That's enough, that's enough, I'm not eating anymore. I'll get sick if I eat more. You eat it."
