In the Afternoon.
Li An’an walked into Chu Yichen’s office with the desserts she had just bought. She was speechless. Chu Yichen actually liked eating dessert.
She looked at the beautifully wrapped cake in the bag. The most expensive mall sold these cakes baked on-the-spot. Little pieces that cost 100 yuan each. How extravagant. If Baobao saw it, she’d probably want to eat the packaging too. Chu Yichen was not in the office, so Li An’an wondered if she could bring one home.
She counted four of them. Chu Yichen probably wouldn’t be able to finish all of them. He wouldn’t notice if one of them was missing.
“An’an, what are you hiding?” Her colleague, Xiao Zhang, was curious as she noticed her mysteriously putting something away.
“A piece of cake. I’m taking it home for a cute little friend.”
Xiao Zhang said something along the lines of her being so loving, and went about his work.
Li An’an returned to Chu Yichen’s office. Upon her return, Chu Yichen was sitting on a chair with a document beside him, but his eyes were fixed on the cake on the table.
Li An’an’s scalp went numb. “I accidentally dropped one just now, there are only three left” She shouldn’t have had any illusions. Chu Yichen was smart enough to notice that a cake was missing. Chu Yichen said coldly, “Come here.”
Li An’an hurried over.
“Finish them!” Chu Yichen pushed the cake towards the edge of the table. The package slid over his document.
This surprise came too suddenly. Li An’an was unsure. “For me to eat?”
“You think a grown man like me likes to eat this.”
“Why?” Li An’an could not understand Chu Yichen. He was a heartless man, but now he was being so generous.
“What do you mean why?” Chu Yichen flipped through the document in his hands.
Li An’an continued, “Meaning… why did you buy me cake?” She couldn’t possibly eat this if there was no clarity.
Chu Yichen looked up with a hint of impatience. “Are you afraid that I’ll poison you to death? It’s just some cakes, why are you talking so much nonsense? If you don’t like it, throw it away.”
Li An’an hurriedly hugged the package protectively. “I want them all.”
Chu Yichen’s expression softened when he saw her panicking. He smiled happily. “You may eat here.”
Li An’an carried the cake and sat on the sofa in the office. She planned to have one.
A beautifully decorated piece of cake appeared as she unwrapped the packaging. There were strawberries, grapes, and cream on top. Li An’an picked up the spoon and took a bite. It was delicious.
She did not know how long it had been since she last ate such a delicious cake. She remembered that the first time she ate a cake was during Li Xinyi’s birthday and there were many guests. After the banquet ended, she was lucky enough to get a piece of cake. She could never forget that feeling. She had never known that there was such sweet and delicious food in the world. From then on, she loved eating cakes. However, delicious cakes were very expensive and she rarely bought them. Later on, after she had the three children, she never ate them again. She had almost forgotten that she loved eating cakes.
At the thought of this, she felt a little sad!
Chu Yichen stared at her satisfied expression and slightly red eyes. “It’s just a cake and you’re so touched?”
Li An’an’s expression changed. “You’ve misunderstood. I bit into a sour plum. It’s so sour.” She frowned. Chu Yichen didn’t like sweet food anyway. He wouldn’t know if the fruit was sour or sweet.
Chu Yichen sneered. “I’m not as easy to fool as you think. I got sick of this stuff when I was young!”
Li An’an glared at him. She suddenly hated the rich. So what if he was rich? He was rubbing salt into other people’s wounds, saying that he got sick of the sort of food that she had no access to no matter how hard she tried!
How hateful! She continued to eat heartily! However, because of this cake, her earlier displeasure with Bess vanished without a trace..
