The shop assistant and barista were stunned. The group president was personally making a cake for this Miss Li?

Wait, the CEO can bake cakes too?

Zhao Jiao stood there dumbfounded. Was she hearing right? Pei Zhao'an, worth over 100 million, was personally making a cake for Li Han, an intern?

Suddenly, the cake in her hand didn't taste good at all.

The alarm clock rang at six o'clock. Zhao Jiao glanced at the time and realized it was truly too late! She rushed out the door.

The people in the café felt much more comfortable after the conspicuous bag left.

Li Han snapped out of her reverie and, remembering the little wooden house decoration on her workstation during her internship, asked Pei Zhaoan, "Did you design this cake?"

Pei Zhaoan had already changed into an apron and disinfected his hands.

Hearing this, he turned around, his eyes filled with a smile: "Still as smart as ever."

The brown apron hanging on Pei Zhaoan accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, making his figure look exceptionally good.

Li Han silently exclaimed "Wow!" in her heart.

As Pei Zhaoan was about to enter the kitchen, the barista noticed and said, "Mr. Pei, the strap on the back of your apron isn't tied properly yet."

After she finished speaking, she frantically gave Li Han meaningful glances.

The shop assistant quickly stepped forward: "I'll take it!"

A perfect opportunity to curry favor!

The shop assistant quickly tied a perfect knot, but he didn't understand why, before President Pei went into the kitchen, he glared at him fiercely, and his barista colleague also looked like he wanted to chop him up.

After this little incident, Li Han received the freshly made flat white from the barista.

When Li Han took the coffee, the barista gave her two boxes of chocolates and candies: "Miss Li, could you please get one to appease that little customer?"

She gestured with her eyes to the little girl at the table to the southwest.

Li Han nodded. The little girl was really innocent; she was pushed aside by the clueless Zhao Jiao.

"Little friend, this is a small gift from the coffee shop. We hope what just happened didn't affect your mood."

Li Han handed the candy gift box to the little girl. The little girl's mother was surprised by the thoughtfulness of the coffee shop, and her impression of the shop improved dramatically.

The little girl happily accepted the candy and asked in her childish voice, "Sister, is this your and brother's wedding candy?"

Wishing you a long and happy marriage!

The child's voice was loud and clear, and many people around smiled kindly upon hearing it.

Li Han blushed instantly, hurriedly said "No," and returned to her seat.

Haicheng West Station.

A middle-aged couple pulled a trailer out of the station exit, followed by a man in his mid-twenties.

If you look closely, you can see that the man's right hand is still tied with a child safety leash, and the other end of the leash is tied to the middle-aged woman's hand.

The man had a vacant stare and a silly grin on his face, occasionally letting out a "hehe" sound; he was clearly not in a normal state.

After putting down the cart, the middle-aged man in the couple sat down on the ground and lit a cigarette: "Damn it, after sitting in a hard seat for twenty-eight hours, my bones are about to fall apart."

Due to freezing rain, the train was delayed by more than four hours, and they hadn't slept for thirty-six hours.

The middle-aged man was Li Dayu, the adoptive father who bought Li Han when she was three years old. Next to him were his wife Xiao Zilu and son Li Kang.

Li Dayu complained, "Why is this young man who contacted us so stingy? Didn't we hear that Li Zhaodi, that ungrateful wretch, has become the goddaughter of the CEO of the Si Group? He can't even afford to buy us a high-speed rail ticket?"

Li Zhaodi was the name Si Jiuyin gave Li Han before she changed her name. It was given to her by her biological parents, but before they could have a younger brother, her biological parents died unexpectedly.

Everyone in the village thought Li Han was a jinx to her parents.

Xiao Zilu fed her son Li Kang a sip of water: "Alright, alright, Lao Li, stop talking so much, you're scaring my precious son."

“That young man is definitely not with Li Zhaodi. He just can’t stand that Li Zhaodi is an ingrate who has hooked up with a rich man in the big city and treats us, her adoptive parents who raised her, like strangers.”

Li Dayu thought that made sense. "Hmph, when I see that ingrate, I'll teach her a lesson."

"I bought her for 600 yuan 19 years ago, and she ran away in less than a year."

Xiao Zilu snorted coldly: "What a waste of money. All I ask her to do is take care of my brother and occasionally beat him up, and she runs away. She really can't take any hardship."

Li Dayu, with a cigarette butt between his fingers, pointed at a video sent by his fellow villager on his phone screen: "People who don't like hardship actually live a comfortable life. Look at that sports car in the video, I've only ever seen this kind of thing on TV."

"She got into the passenger seat right away!"

As he was talking, his phone screen suddenly went black. "Hey! Damn it, it's out of battery."

"Oh no, how am I going to contact that guy named A Yao now?"

Xiao Zilu's phone died on the train, and she grumbled, "I told you to conserve battery! All you did on the way was look at the car and your watch, you've got too big for your britches!"

Li Dayu retorted and argued with her: "Aren't you the same? You haven't even gotten the money from Li Zhaodi yet, and you're already looking at villa developments on your phone."

"I was thinking of my son. Shouldn't I ask Li Zhaodi to introduce a virtuous girl to him as a wife? Only if she sees a big villa will she be willing to marry him."

......

Just as Li Han's adoptive parents were arguing, a young man wearing a purple and black patchwork cotton coat walked up to them and asked, "Are you Li Han's adoptive parents?"

"I'm here to pick you up."

Li Dayu and Xiao Zilu exchanged a glance: "Yes, yes, I am Li Han's adoptive father, Li Dayu, and this is my wife, Xiao Zilu."

When Xiao Zilu saw the young man, she noticed that his voice sounded different from his voice on the phone. Her eyes darted around and she asked, "You must be A Yao?"

Upon hearing the name "A Yao," the young man blinked and said, "No, I'm his brother, my name is A Hai. Yao's girlfriend was hospitalized, and he went to take care of her."

Xiao Zilu was a little relieved: "Oh, I see."

The young man glanced at the big man Xiao Zilu was holding, who was still grinning foolishly, and paused for a moment.

Li Dayu quickly explained, "Hehe, I brought my son with me too. Nobody takes care of him back home."

"Okay, come with me."

The young man helped the two carry their luggage: "You must be tired from your journey. I'm so sorry, Shi Yao is such a stingy person, he doesn't know how to do things properly. I bought your train tickets for you."

"You two esteemed guests must be exhausted."

"I'll arrange for you to stay in a five-star hotel first, have a seafood buffet to get you in shape, and then I'll take you to find Li Han."

When Mr. and Mrs. Li Dayu heard about the "five-star hotel" and "seafood buffet," and then saw the Audi A6 behind the young man, they couldn't resist and kept saying "good" several times.
