Chapter 630 Push Wave (5)
Gu Yu behind him looked a little resentful. His daughter was not a cook in the Shen Mansion, nor was she a pastry chef who specialized in making pastries. Luo Ling's words were like eating Shen Miao's pastries and blaming Shen Miao.
Jingzhe, however, was forcing herself to suppress a smile. Guyu's blocky head couldn't see it, but she was clever. This young cousin clearly wanted to get close to Shen Miao, but couldn't find another excuse. However... Jingzhe looked at his daughter, who appeared to have no romantic feelings, and shook his head with a hint of regret. Flowers may have feelings, but flowing water is ruthless. He was afraid his daughter wouldn't be able to appreciate the young cousin's sincere feelings.
As expected, Shen Miao frowned and asked, "Too sweet? I didn't add much sugar."
Luo Ling scratched his head in increasing embarrassment, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Well, Tan'er once said that my cousin can make fruit juice-scented pastries. Can you make that with me next time?"
Shen Miao was stunned.
Luo Tan often came to Chen Miao's courtyard to talk to her, and whenever there was a cake or pastry on the table, he would eat it without hesitation. The cake was something Chen Miao had tried to make herself, after all, she had never made it in her life, so it was inevitable that she was a little unfamiliar with it. However, Luo Tan thought it was delicious, so he ate the whole basket of cakes.
The cakes were mixed with fruit juice, just the taste of the Daliang royal family. Previously, Xie Jingxing had asked Shen Miao to make him two baskets of cakes to satisfy his hunger when he was about to kill someone to silence them. Later, Princess Ming'an was indeed killed by Xie Jingxing, and the two baskets of cakes were given to Xie Jingxing. Afterward, Xie Jingxing disappeared for a while. These days, Shen Miao watched the farce in the Shen Mansion while making cakes, thinking that she should repay the favor.
Thinking of this, Shen Miao's gaze gradually dropped. Speaking of which, it had been a few days since Xie Jingxing left. Prince Rui of Daliang had left so casually, and surprisingly, there wasn't much of a rumor in Dingjing City. She didn't know if Xie Jingxing was safe. After all, he still had the identity of the young marquis of Lin'an Marquisate who had died young, and his life was in jeopardy.
Luo Ling noticed that Shen Miao was in a daze again, so he waved in front of her and asked, "Little cousin?"
Shen Miao came back to her senses and gave Luo Ling an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, cousin, I just made that cake recipe randomly. I was lucky to make a basket of it at that time, and then cousin Tan ate it all. If you ask me to make that kind of cake again, I don't know if I can do it."
Jingzhe stared at Shen Miao from behind. His own daughter could actually lie to his cousin with a straight face. Jingzhe naturally knew whether Shen Miao could make the cake. Shen Miao had memorized the recipe and made it herself, looking very skilled. Why wouldn't she be willing to make a basket for Young Master Luo?
Could it be that the young master had offended his own daughter? Jingzhe was puzzled.
Luo Ling had never expected Shen Miao to refuse, and he was embarrassed and at a loss as to what to do.
Shen Miao was relaxed, her expression devoid of any guilt. Since this was a pastry for the Daliang royal family, the process was inherently complex. She could make it once, but she didn't have the patience to make it all day long. Luo Ling... It would be better to have the pastry chef in the kitchen make him something else.
They were talking here, but they didn't realize that their lively conversation was being watched by another person under the eaves far away. The man was dressed in white, waving a paper fan, looking like a gentleman. It was Gao Yang.
After Xie Jingxing left, Gao Yang also followed Xie Jingxing's instructions and said that he would take care of Luo Ling's hand injury, so he lived in the Shen residence. It was convenient for him to see what Shen Miao was doing at all times. This one look was not a big deal, and he could actually see Luo Ling and Shen Miao talking about such a lively scene.
Gao Yang looked at Luo Ling with a hint of sympathy, then looked at Shen Miao, shook his head, and sighed deeply.
