At this moment, I realized my mistake.
I had fallen into my own familiar trap.
Despite my best defenses, I was unable to ward off Gu Yuanzhou's temptations.
Seeing that I had stopped eating the cake, Gu Yuanzhou shot me a calm glance,
"Why aren't you eating? This is your favourite red velvet cake. I had it specially made for you, you should try some."
But at this point, how could I still have the appetite to eat this cake? My mind was racing.
"Mrs. Gu likes red velvet cake, right? Actually, I don't like cake!"
Gu Yuanzhou grabbed a piece of cake and took a bite, he then squinted his eyes and looked at me.
"You usually have some cake on your birthday, how would you know you don't like it without trying it?"
I awkwardly put down the cake, trying to cover my slip-up,
"President Gu, I'm sorry. You made a mistake. Today's not my birthday."
"You took the birthday gift. How could it not be your birthday?"
He said, his eyes revealed a sharp and penetrating insight.
