Chapter 641 Fondant Cake
"Zhi Mu, I'm here to pick you up..."
Before Xiang Zhimu could think of how to respond to Leng Jun's cold "Congratulations on your wedding", Li Jing came over, parked his electric bike at the door, and looked at Xiang Zhimu standing at the door with a smile on his face, looking a little silly.
Xiang Zhimu had no time to care about Leng Jun standing next to him. He picked up his bag and walked towards Li Jing with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Nan Nan didn't have the patience and left first."
Li Jing handed his helmet to Xiang Zhimu and asked awkwardly, "Does she think I've delayed you?"
Xiang Zhimu took the helmet and angrily hit him on the arm: "What are you thinking about? Nan Nan is not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business. She left first because she had something urgent to do. Let's go home quickly."
Li Jing looked at Xiang Zhimu's face, which could captivate everyone when he smiled, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Yes, yes, let's go home. Today is our wedding day. I'll cook you a meal tonight..."
"We have an event in our store today, and the two newlyweds can get in for free."
Leng Jun, who had been deliberately ignored by Xiang Zhimu, suddenly spoke when Li Jing was about to take Xiang Zhimu away on an electric bike.
Li Jing stopped gripping the handle and looked back at Leng Jun in confusion: "Are you the owner of this store?"
Why did he feel that the young man in front of him was so familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Leng Jun was still polite and gave him a half-hearted smile: "Yes, I am a shareholder of this store. You two are newly married, and the store would like to share in your happiness. I wonder if it would be convenient for you two to come."
What's inconvenient about eating and drinking for free?
Li Jing didn't think there was anything wrong with it and immediately agreed with gratitude.
Xiang Zhimu pulled him and told him not to agree so quickly.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
It would be a bit presumptuous to ask what she was thinking when Leng Jun suddenly sat next to her at the beginning.
But now, Leng Jun directly said that he was a shareholder of this store and gave them free activities to celebrate their wedding. Everything was weird, which made her doubt Leng Jun's intentions.
"It's okay, Zhimu. It's a waste not to eat. I think this boss is a nice person."
As soon as Li Jing saw Leng Jun's dress and demeanor, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, and he also wanted to make more friends with him.
A young man like him who has just graduated and entered the society inevitably acts with a sense of false confidence, thinking that making more so-called connections will be of great benefit to his future.
Xiang Zhimu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Li Jing immediately following Leng Jun and trying to get close to her, but on the first day of their marriage, she didn't want to have a conflict with him.
But Li Jing was becoming more and more excessive.
Today is their wedding, not his and Leng Jun's wedding.
When Leng Jun casually mentioned that he had not had dinner either, Li Jing immediately and warmly pulled him to have dinner with them. He chatted animatedly with Leng Jun at the table, leaving her, the bride, aside.
Xiang Zhimu felt that the air in this exquisite and luxurious box was so thin that she was almost suffocating.
"Ms. Xiang, this is a graduation gift that Miss Shao Ai made for you."
When she was feeling bored, Xiaole, a waiter in the restaurant, waved gently and called her out. He brought her an exquisite fruit cake. The fondant figurine on it looked exactly like her. It was so similar and unique.
Xiang Zhimu carefully held it and returned to the table.
Shao Ai is a young girl working in this restaurant. It seems that her family is not well off and she works here to earn money for her studies. Because of their names, Xiang Zhimu got to know her and he also likes to eat all kinds of delicious food she cooks.
However, because she still had to study, she rarely saw Shao Ai. Sometimes she could only eat the food she cooked but could not see her in person.
"What is this and how much is it? If it's too expensive, you should return it."
Li Jing, who was chatting with Leng Jun, frowned subconsciously and asked when he saw Xiang Zhimu coming over with such an exquisite and beautiful cake.
Xiang Zhimu, who was filled with joy, stood there awkwardly for a moment, as if someone had suddenly slapped him in the face.
Then he placed the cake in front of his seat and said expressionlessly, "My savings are still enough."
Li Jing is a child from an ordinary family. His parents work hard to earn money, so he is very frugal in food, clothing and other expenses.
Guan Shinan always complained that he was stingy, but Xiang Zhimu didn't think it was a shortcoming. He had no way of being generous, and she never thought of spending his money.
Until this moment, she felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but retort him.
This was a gift Shao Ai gave her with good intentions, and she didn't expect Li Jing to pay for it. Why did he say such stingy words when she was so happy?
After she retorted to Li Jing, the atmosphere in the box became subtle.
In the past, Li Jing would have coaxed her to apologize immediately.
But Leng Jun was present today. Just now, he was talking to Leng Jun passionately about his future work, looking very ambitious. Now that Xiang Zhimu had rebuked him like this, he felt that he had lost all his face. If he bowed his head and apologized to her now, wouldn't he lose even more face?
It was Leng Jun who broke the silence with a smile. He looked at the fondant figurine on the cake with great interest, then stared at Xiang Zhimu: "Is this you? You look so pretty."
Is the person being praised the fondant figurine or her?
Xiang Zhimu couldn't tell, and just felt embarrassed: "A friend gave it to me."
Leng Jun's smile deepened: "It looks delicious, can I have some?"
"Okay," Xiang Zhimu used a clean knife and fork to cut a piece of cake for him, and also cut a piece for Li Jing.
She had lost control of her emotions just now, and now she wanted to ease the atmosphere.
But Li Jing didn't know what was wrong with him today. He pushed the cake away from her hand and said sarcastically, "I won't eat it. What can you do with your savings? Keep it for yourself and use it slowly."
Xiang Zhimu's hand holding the plate was frozen there, and his eyes were a little red with embarrassment.
When she was stiff and didn't know what to do, a warm big hand wrapped around her small hand, and Leng Jun's voice sounded gently in the air: "I'll eat it, Miss Xiang, please don't think I have a big appetite."
He gave her a way out, and she didn't care how ambiguous his action of holding her hand was at this moment. She placed the plate of cake in front of him with gratitude: "Shao Ai's cooking skills are very good. If you like it, you can eat more."
Leng Jun took a bite gracefully, then gave her a bright smile, like a big boy who hadn't grown up: "It's delicious, thank you Mumu."
Xiang Zhimu, who had just relaxed his guard out of gratitude towards him, became embarrassed again when he heard him call himself Mumu.
Li Jing finally felt something was amiss. He looked at Leng Jun suspiciously, then looked at Xiang Zhimu and asked, "Do you know each other?"
