Strange in public! Trying to conceive in private! Pampered and kissed every night.

Song Xinya and Qin Yuyan entered the villa.

Wherever Song Xinya went, Qin Yuyan followed.

The Qin family's little princess became Song Xinya's little shadow.

In the kitchen, Song Xinya took out low-gluten flour, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, and other ingredients to start making the cake base.

Qin Yuyan, the little good-for-nothing, stood to the side, watching Song Xinya's skillful and efficient movements.

Beat the eggs, stir, mix the batter, put it on a baking tray, and in no time, a golden cake base is ready.

Qin Yuyan's eyes were full of amazement: "Wow, you finished the cake filling so quickly, Teacher Song, you are so skillful."

Song Xinya used an electric mixer to whip cream.

Qin Yuyan: "Wow, Teacher Song's whipped cream is so smooth, it's amazing!"

Song Xinya spreads cream on the cake base.

Qin Yuyan: "Wow, Teacher Song spread the cream so evenly, that's amazing!"

Song Xinya is using a piping bag to pipe roses.

Qin Yuyan: "Wow, Teacher Song's roses are so beautiful, so cool!"

Although the little princess couldn't do anything, she praised Song Xinya loudly no matter what she did, providing plenty of emotional value.

After making a cake, Song Xinya was full of energy and didn't feel tired at all.

The cream was spread smooth as silk, the fruit was garnished just right, and the sweet aroma wafted in the air.

A beautifully designed cake came into Qin Yuyan's view.

"Teacher Song, the cake is ready now. Should we put on the candles?"

Song Xinya said, "Doing this much is not enough."

Qin Yuyan asked doubtfully, "What's not enough? This cake is even more exquisite than those made in cake shops. What aspect is still not enough?"

Song Xinya: "Although this cake is exquisite, it is too common and not unique enough. It's not immediately obvious that it's a cake made specifically for Qin Yuyan."

Qin Yuyan: "A cake that's exclusively for me?"

Song Xinya raised her chin at her: "The little princess is born unique, how can we just follow the crowd? The gift given to the little princess must be extraordinary."

Qin Yuyan smiled shyly and said, "Hehe."

Song Xinya took out a piece of pink fondant and began to knead it on the cutting board.

"Wait a minute, I'll add something to this cake to make it a cake with Qin Yuyan's special features."

Qin Yuyan looked on with great interest: "Okay!"

The pink fondant was rolled into a long strip, thick at one end and thin at the other.

Song Xinya took out another piece of white fondant, rolled it into a ball, and sculpted big, round eyes, long eyelashes, and a small nose on it.

A round, white little head sits on a pink strip, and an adorable fondant snake appears.

Qin Yuyan's eyes widened in amazement: "Wow, a snake! This little snake is so cute! Its eyelashes are even longer than mine!"

"Teacher Song, you can even make fondant snakes!" she exclaimed, looking at Song Xinya. "I've truly broadened my horizons today!"

Song Xinya smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing."

Making cakes and fondant snakes is nothing compared to what I've been up to.

Qin Yuyan: "Anyway, all I do is eat."

She saw Song Xinya holding a tender white radish, carefully carving it stroke by stroke.

"Teacher Song, what are you doing now?"

Song Xinya: "Keep watching, you'll find out in a bit."

Qin Yuyan moved a small stool and sat next to Song Xinya, cupping her face in her hands and watching obediently.

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Song Xinya's face, as if casting a delicate, soft glow. Her fair skin glowed, her eyes were serene and her expression was earnest, giving people a gentle and peaceful feeling.

Qin Yuyan turned to look at Song Xinya and felt that she was glowing, like...

Guanyin Bodhisattva?

Qin Yuyan chuckled twice at her own analogy.

Song Xinya: "What are you grinning about?"

Qin Yuyan: "I feel you are quite charming."

Song Xinya: "Thank you, you're not bad either."

Qin Yuyan: "I'm usually very likable."

Song Xinya raised an eyebrow, not telling her that behind her back, everyone called her a little devil.

"Confidence is a good thing, keep it up."

Qin Yuyan: "I don't have many strengths, but I'm extremely confident."

Song Xinya: "I can tell."

The carving knife made marks on the white radish, and a soft rustling sound filled the air.

Time passed second by second, from the blazing sun to the setting sun.

The round white radish was carved into graceful lines, transforming it into a girl wearing a skirt.

Qin Yuyan stared wide-eyed, one "wow" not enough to express her amazement, she exclaimed "wow" three times in a row.

"Teacher Song, you actually carved a person out of a white radish! Your skill is simply amazing, absolutely incredible!"

Song Xinya: "Doesn't it look like you in a white dress?"

Qin Yuyan: "Yes, this little person is me!"

Not only can she bake cakes, but she can also carve miniature figures from white radishes. Damn, this woman is just too charming!

Song Xinya placed the girl in the white dress in the center of the cake and put the pink fondant snake next to her.

"The cake is ready."

After inserting and lighting the candles, Song Xinya reached out and scooped up a smear of cream, placing it on Qin Yuyan's nose as a birthday greeting: "Happy birthday, little princess."

Qin Yuyan looked at the unique cake, then looked up at Song Xinya, and her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

Song Xinya made a cake for her instead of her parents.

Song Xinya is with her since her parents can't be with her for her birthday.

Today, Qin Yuyan was planning to celebrate her birthday with her litter of baby snakes, just like every year before.

But because of Song Xinya's arrival, she no longer felt lonely and experienced the happiness and warmth of being treated with care by others.

Qin Yuyan sniffed: "Thank you, Teacher Song."

Song Xinya handed over a tissue: "Are you about to cry?"

Qin Yuyan wiped her eyes: "I won't cry. A daughter doesn't easily shed tears."

Song Xinya took out her phone and played the birthday wishes recorded by Jiang Yaoxue for Qin Yuyan.

Parents in China tend to be reserved in expressing their feelings. They are not used to expressing love, are ashamed to express love, and do not know how to express love.

In fact, love itself doesn't need fancy words to express it; saying it directly is the best expression.

In the scene, Jiang Yaoxue sheds her previous reserve and shame, revealing her emotions and saying "Mom loves you" to Qin Yuyan for the first time.

In an instant, Qin Yuyan burst into tears, the hot tears streaming down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she murmured again and again, "Mom loves me, Mom loves me."

Song Xinya gently patted her head: "Of course your mother loves you. Even though your mother is abroad, she always thinks about you."

Qin Yuyan looked at Song Xinya with tear-filled eyes and asked, "If Mom loves me, why isn't she by my side?"

Qin Hanxiao's womanizing and staying out all night broke Jiang Yaoxue's heart, leaving her heartbroken, devastated, and helpless.

Jiang Yaoxue was once a young girl who longed for love and marriage, hoping to marry a good man and live a happy life.

But she wasn't so lucky. After a brief period of love with her, Qin Hanxiao went to find other women.

The sweetness they once shared turned into poison, and marriage became a cage that imprisoned her.

On one side is her young child, and on the other is her yearning for freedom to break free from her cage.

She was in pain, struggling, and suffering.

Countless nights she spent in tears during this marriage filled with betrayal and pain.

She wanted to endure it for the sake of her child, but she was unwilling to let her whole life be ruined because of a man.

Amidst the back-and-forth tearing and repeated pain, she and Qin Hanxiao divorced.

This is a story of love, hate, and grudges between adults. Telling this bloody truth to a seventeen-year-old child is far too cruel.

Song Xinya said to Qin Yuyan in a gentle voice, "Yanyan, we all want to live a bright and passionate life, to see how the water flows, when the sun rises, and how the sun sets. We want to experience all the beauty in the world, to be free from any constraints, and to have our mother's unconditional love forever. But we often forget that our mothers also need to be loved."

"Love should not be a shackle, but freedom and happiness. Mom is also an ordinary person with her own joys, sorrows, emotions, and desires. We should allow Mom to pursue her own happiness."

"Isn't it better to let your mother live a better life?"

Qin Yuyan suddenly understood. She loved her mother and of course wanted her mother to live a good life.

She wiped away her tears and said, "Okay."

Song Xinya took a tissue and gently wiped the tears from her face: "Make a wish, and then eat cake."

Qin Yuyan clasped her hands together, ready to make a wish, when the doorbell rang.

A maid stood at the door and announced, "Miss Qin, someone is looking for you."

Qin Yuyan arrived at the door and saw Li Cuirou and Zhang Yingying.

Li Cuirou flattered Qin: "Miss Qin, we heard it's your birthday today, so my daughter and I came here especially to celebrate with you."

Qin Yuyan: "No need, I've already had the best birthday today."

Zhang Yingying opened a beautifully packaged gift box: "Miss Qin, these are diamond earrings I bought for you. They're high-end jewelry and worth two million."

She herself couldn't bear to wear such expensive earrings, which she bought with all her savings.

Qin Yuyan glanced at it: "It's not even as expensive as the bag I used to put poop on the snake."

Zhang Yingying's ingratiating smile froze.

Li Cuirou: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. My Yingying went to all the jewelry stores in SKP and carefully picked it out for you. Please accept it."

Qin Yuyan: "If I accept the gift, I will owe Zhang Yingying a gift. When it's her birthday, I will have to give her a gift in return. If I don't give her a gift, it will seem like I'm being unreasonable. Not only will my reputation be affected, but the Qin family's reputation will also be affected."

"You two can leave now, don't keep me from eating my cake."

Bang! Qin Yuyan slammed the door shut.

Li Cuirou and Zhang Yingying were turned away.

Zhang Yingying: "This little princess is really hard to get along with."

Li Cuirou: "She was arrogant to everyone."

Qin Yuyan returned to Song Xinya's side, the proud little peacock turning into a clingy little devil: "Teacher Song, will you eat cake with me?"

Song Xinya: "Eat after you make your wish."

Qin Yuyan closed her eyes and made a wish: I hope Teacher Song will marry my brother and become my sister-in-law.
