When Luo Huian said that eating desserts brought the biggest happiness, she did not think that her grandmother would turn her into a baker for others.
She looked at the eggs, butter, flour, water and salt with a frown on her face. Seeing her stare at the ingredients, Pan Delan couldn't help but ask, "Sister, you can bake eclairs right? You wouldn't happen to blow up the kitchen right?"
"Did you even see anyone blow up the kitchen before?" Luo Huian asked with a speechless expression. What did this kid mean by blowing up the kitchen, did she look that unreliable?
To her surprise, Pan Delan nodded and answered, "Yup. That mer who stays with my mom now, he blew the entire kitchen up and yet Mommy did not scold him. Isn't she too biased? If I explode a pot, she will scold me but she didn't say anything to that mer."
Luo Huian's lips twitched as she turned her attention to the ingredients. "Don't worry, I know what I am doing."
Since this skill was more or less like a golden finger, Luo Huian did not think that it would let her down. What was more, this skill was necessary to suppress the Aura of Gloom in Xi Suisui's heart.
Her spiritual energy was weak and she couldn't get rid of the Aura of Gloom completely. She could only shatter the Gloom Wave, which wasn't enough.
This should be enough to cheer him up for the time being. Unless something major happened, Xu Suisui would be fine and wouldn't be affected by the Aura of Gloom.
With that Luo Huian set to work. She said to Pan Delan, "Turn the gas stove on."
Since she did not know how to do it, she could only ask the child to do it.
"You are asking a child to go near the fire? How could you, Huian?" Xiao Hei scolded fiercely.
Luo Huian rolled her eyes and refuted, "If I turn it on, we all are going to die for sure. With her, there is a 50-50 chance that we might survive."
Xiao Hei: ".."
Fortunately, Pan Delan knew how to turn the gas on. She twisted the knob and waited for Luo Huian who started working in a jiffy. Her hands were so fast that Pan Delan couldn't even keep up with her.
However, as she watched Luo Huian mix the butter and water, along with the flour and make a perfect dough. She knew that Luo Huian was skilled in making desserts.
She looked at Luo Huian and asked, "Sister are you a baker?"
"Believe it or not kid, this is my first time making it," remarked Luo Huian. "Your Daddy is lucky, he is going to be my first taste tester."
Xu Suisui who just came out of the room: "..." Can I refuse this opportunity?
However, when he saw how careful Luo Huian was being while making the Choux pastry, he did not have the heart to refuse.
She was a stranger and yet she was doing all of this to cheer him up. Compared to her, his wife ——
Xu Suisui's expression turned dark and his hands clenched, ever since he was young, it had been him who had done the cooking in the house. No matter what the circumstances were, it was he who had pleased his Pan Xinyi as for her——
She had never taken any initiative to please him. Even when she was not working and did not have a company to manage, she would wait for him to come back home and cook for her.
The pang in his heart turned more and more dangerous, and the Aura of Gloom started to surge again. Luo Huian had suppressed the Gloom Wave with her spiritual energy but with Xu Suisui's anger and gloomy thoughts, it started to strengthen again.
That was until ——
A sweet and delectable scent followed by a peal of laughter broke his thoughts. Xu Suisui raised his head and looked at Luo Huian and his daughter who were making Chantilly cream while the choux pastry baked.
His dark gaze softened and he walked over to where the two of them were standing.
"What are you making?" He asked even though he knew it.
"Your favourite eclairs, Daddy," Pan Delan replied with a proud look on her face. "Sister said that eating something sweet will make you happy."
Even though Xu Suisui did not believe that an Eclair could make him happy, he did not pour cold water on his daughter's enthusiasm. He clapped his hands and praised his daughter, "Wow! It is true. Daughters are really cotton-padded jackets, you are actually working so hard to make your daddy happy. I am so glad, Lan Lan ."
Pan Delan's already puffed chest puffed out even more. Seeing this Luo Huian and Xu Suisui exchanged a look and snickered in their hearts.
With Luo Huian taking care of everything, it did not take long. The eclairs were coated with a layer of chocolate with cream filling the pastry, as for the smell——
"I have never smelled something so delicious," Xu Suisui confessed, he had eaten Eclairs from all over the world, and some models and designers who knew his preferences brought Eclairs from all kinds of famous restaurants. But neither of them smelled as good as this one, which was plated in front of him.
'Of course, it's made with my spiritual energy,' Luo Huian snickered lightly. If the ingredients, she used were also infused with her energy, this pastry would have tasted even better. But Luo Huian was not complaining compared to the other Ecliars of this world, hers was still miles better.
"Daddy, eat quickly!" Pan Delan asked her daddy to eat the pastry as quickly as possible as she was the one who helped Luo Huian bake it.
Xu Suisui nodded. He picked up the eclairs and then brought it to his mouth —— with a crunch he bit off the edge and the second he chewed, his eyes ——-
