Chapter 664 If She Were a God, She Would Meet Her Sister’s Wish
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Jin found herself lost in thought.
Reflecting on the narrative arc of the original storyline, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of peculiarity in the amalgamation of events.
In a world devoid of a sisterly bond, the warmth and depth of emotions would undoubtedly be diminished.
Meanwhile, Gu Yang clasped her hands together, bowed her head, and closed her eyes, earnestly making a wish.
Initially, Gu Jin regarded the act of wishing as trivial and uninteresting, opting instead to rely on her own efforts to achieve her goals.
Yet, as she observed her sister’s sincere demeanor, a sense of fondness washed over her. If she possessed the power of a deity, she would undoubtedly grant her sister’s wish without hesitation.
Ruan Xueling’s prompt snapped her out of her reverie. “Jin, it’s your turn to make a wish!”
With a soft hum, Gu Jin followed suit, mimicking Gu Yang’s solemn gesture.
Upon opening their eyes, the sisters jointly blew out the candles, signaling the end of the ritual. The lights in the hotel flickered back to life.
Following tradition, Gu Yang and Gu Jin proceeded to cut the cake, sharing slices with the assembled guests. To expedite the process, Gu Pei, Feng Jue, and their friends also lent a hand in distributing the dessert.
As Gu Yang extended the cake to Ruan Bin and Ruan Meng, Ruan Bin graciously accepted it with a nod. “Thank you, Gu Yang. And a very happy birthday to you.”
Addressing Gu Jin as ‘cousin,’ Ruan Bin’s demeanor exuded politeness and gentility, a marked improvement from their previous interactions. Gu Yang paid little mind to this, content as long as harmony prevailed.
Ruan Meng, too, extended her felicitations. As Gu Yang prepared to depart, Ruan Meng halted her, producing an intricately crafted figurine. “Gu Yang, this is my most cherished figurine. I want you to have it.”
Puzzled, Gu Yang regarded Ruan Meng quizzically. “Didn’t you already give me a gift?”
Aware of the convention at birthday gatherings, where gifts were often delegated to designated receivers due to the sheer number of attendees, Gu Yang and Gu Jin couldn’t possibly accept them all personally.
“This isn’t a birthday gift,” Ruan Meng clarified, her voice tinged with awkwardness. “It’s a gesture of friendship. Will you be my friend?”
Believing that cultivating a friendship with Gu Yang could potentially lead to an introduction to Good Boss, Ruan Meng considered this offering a sincere gesture.
However, Gu Yang declined the figurine, shaking her head gently. “A true friend respects others’ preferences. While the figurine holds special significance for you, it doesn’t align with my interests. You should keep it for yourself.”
Ruan Meng found herself momentarily stunned. She had been prepared to relinquish her cherished possession, only to be met with Gu Yang’s refusal.
Yet, Gu Yang’s rationale resonated with her. Inquisitive, she inquired, “Then what are your interests?”
Coincidentally, Feng Jue overheard the exchange as he approached. Few understood his sister’s preferences better than him. “Sister enjoys music, the art of tea, and spices,” he chimed in.
Of course, he knew he was her favorite.
Meeting Ruan Meng’s gaze, Gu Yang affirmed his words with a nod.
Ruan Meng repeated the list and made a mental note of it. With resolve, she vowed to Gu Yang, “I promise, Gu Yang. I’ll select a gift that aligns with your tastes. And when the time comes, you’ll have to be friends with me!”
The corners of Gu Yang’s lips twitched. She couldn’t quite fathom her cousin’s intentions.
Nevertheless, as she gazed into Ruan Meng’s earnest eyes, she relented with a nod. “Alright. But truthfully, you needn’t trouble yourself with a gift…”
Satisfied with Gu Yang’s acknowledgment, Ruan Meng departed to contemplate her gift choice.
“Sister, it’s your special day. Let Gu Pei and the others handle the cake. Shall we enjoy it together?” Feng Jue held out a slice of cake, his eyes shining with anticipation.
Gu Yang agreed with a nod. Though Feng Jue had been by her side throughout the event, she had been preoccupied with socializing and hadn’t spent much time with him.
Finding a secluded spot, the two settled down to indulge in the treat.
Meanwhile, Fu Mingxiu, having noticed Gu Yang distributing cake, decided to seek her out with a slice in hand.
After a brief search, she spotted Gu Yang. Just as she was about to approach them with joy, she witnessed Feng Jue tenderly feeding Gu Yang.
The young man’s fair countenance, bright smile, and gentle demeanor exuded an innocent charm.
Gu Yang’s eyes sparkled with delight, her smile sweeter than any confectionery.
Amidst the bustling atmosphere, the pair seemed enveloped in their own serene world.
Startled by the sight, Fu Mingxiu’s grasp on her cake faltered, and it tumbled to the ground before she could regain her composure.
