Chapter 162
Even though it was a birthday party for only two people, how could Xiao Yue's plan...
Even if it was just a birthday party for two people, how could the one Xiao Yue conceived and prepared be so simple?
In addition to the cake and gifts, dinner has been stored in an insulated box. It is a steak that is small in size and exquisite in taste.
Xiao Yue took them out of the box and placed them on the table one by one, ignoring Fu Xunzhou's move to come closer to help her.
After they put the food on the table, they quickly started eating it with the faint aroma to prevent it from getting cold.
They talked very little during the conversation, but the atmosphere was not awkward or cold. Instead, it was warm, or even ambiguous.
Halfway through the meal, Xiao Yue suddenly discovered that because the two of them were so close, the ends of their white fluffy cloak and black and gold cape were touching each other.
Inexplicably a little...
Xiao Yue was thinking of four big words in his mind: Black and White Devils.
She was amused by the idea. Seeing Fu Xunzhou looking at her, she did not explain and continued to eat steak happily.
Fu Xunzhou was very considerate as he picked up other dishes for Xiao Yue throughout the whole process. His eyes were not on the food, but on her.
Xiao Yue is not blind, how could he not notice it?
But she ignored it leisurely.
It was already very late by the time we finished dinner.
Xiao Yue turned her head and saw that the snow had not stopped falling. The entire small garden was almost as bright as day, but the flowers and plants were not overwhelmed. The red and white colors were particularly beautiful.
Xiao Yue looked at him for a while, then turned to the man and said, "It's getting late, you should go back."
Fu Xunzhou was stunned, as if a little confused. He glanced at the furnishings in the small pavilion, then looked at the snow which was not actually that heavy, and finally remembered that it was about this time last night.
But what she said was: Stay and rest.
“…”
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Yue looked at his cloak with innocent eyes, and her bright eyes in the snowy night seemed to be able to speak.
Fu Xunzhou was silent for a while, and his voice was a little uncertain: "Can't I stay here overnight?"
"cannot."
Xiao Yue answered quickly.
Fu Xunzhou: “…”
There was a hint of confusion and grievance in her expression, but she finally said obediently: "Okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning?"
Xiao Yue nodded, and saw Fu Xunzhou's mouth curled up. He left after saying "Go to bed early".
When they turned the corner, he turned back to look at her.
Only then did Xiao Yue smile.
…
Not to mention the next day, in the next few days, wherever Xiao Yue went, he would be picked up by Fu Xunzhou's more spacious and luxurious carriage.
Because her carriage had been damaged, it was sent for repair.
After this incident, the past few days have been calm, as if nothing unexpected had happened.
But Xiao Yue didn't hear Fu Xunzhou say that the secret guards had been withdrawn, so she knew that there were still people following her in secret to protect her.
This feeling was a bit strange, but Xiao Yue knew the reason, so he naturally had no opinion. Instead, the one who was annoyed was the guy who was secretly doing bad things and dared not show up.
Don't let her catch you!
I'll slap your face!
Also because of the calmness of the past few days, Fu Xunzhou became particularly clingy after the birthday party.
If it weren't for her tall and slender figure, she could be described as a little bird - well, a little white bird, because he never took off that fluffy coat.
Xiao Yue was in a good mood and would not struggle when he held her hand occasionally.
The first person to notice the change in atmosphere between the two was naturally Lu Ran, who knew the inside story.
In fact, she came to ask Xiao Yue the next day after that night.
But Xiao Yue himself did not reveal any informative answer, only sighing and saying: "He was so moved that he cried."
Are you crying?
Lu Ran looked at her serious expression and fell into deep thought.
Duan Lin noticed this again, and after asking, he found out that it was Madam Xiao who celebrated the young master's birthday.
"No wonder……"
Lu Ran: “?”
Lu Ran: "Why not?"
"Since that day, the young master has been like a peacock spreading its tail." Duan Lin whispered, "This morning when I went to report on matters, he rolled up his sleeves in the cold weather just to show me an extra bracelet. It must have been given by Madam Xiao!"
"Indeed." Lu Ran was silent for a while, then asked him, "What about Mr. and Madam Xiao now..."
Duan Lin scratched his head: "I only heard from the young master that he is already Madam Xiao's man, what does that mean? Is it settled?"
Lu Ran: “…”
Lu Ran had a complicated expression: "What else did Madam Xiao say? Did you reveal anything, Master?"
Duan Lin shook his head.
Lu Ran: “…”
Oh, it turns out that the young master still has no status.
——
Liuyun City is very beautiful when it snows, which has led to the clear red reflection in the front yard of Yueting Self-service South Street branch becoming a daily sight for customers.
If it wasn't so cold, they would probably want to sit outside and eat while enjoying the view.
In fact, Xiao Yue has already set up a thin transparent shed in the front yard in the past few days to shelter from the wind and snow, and has also set up a hot pot base on the stone table.
Unfortunately it was still too cold and few customers could stand it, preferring to eat inside in a lively atmosphere.
In such weather, Xiao Yue and Luo Zhi discussed new desserts, mainly proposed by the latter -
“How about a volcano exploding cake? The lava flows out from the top slowly. If you make it warm, it will definitely be a hit!”
Xiao Yue thought it was good, but after watching Luo Zhi do it once, he couldn't help but hissed, "It's a bit complicated. It will take a while to put the ingredients in."
"What's this?" Luo Zhi was very excited and patted the all-in-one machine: "We have this, just come to the store early tomorrow to prepare it!"
Xiao Yue thought about it and it made sense. Besides, they had four all-in-one dessert baking machines, so they would have enough stock for two rounds.
The next day.
The volcano exploding cake, which has a unique appearance and comes in two flavors: chocolate and strawberry, has received unanimous praise from customers, and even the sisters in the store are addicted to it.
Xiao Yue naturally likes chocolate flavor the most. It has to be said that desserts with more complicated production processes are much more delicious.
Unfortunately, she chewed too much milk gummy candy these days, and it was a bit too sweet. After eating one, she went to eat hotpot.
In the following days, Luo Zhi enjoyed making cakes with complicated processes.
As customer feedback was good, Xiao Yue did not stop them, but she personally looked at the samples and tasted each product before deciding to launch it.
That day, Fu Xunzhou came to the store to pick up Xiao Yue as usual. When he came in, he saw Luo Zhi talking to her about something.
Fu Xunzhou was about to frown when he saw Xiao Yue shaking his head and frowned first.
She seemed to say something, choking Luo Zhi's words back.
"What's wrong?" Fu Xunzhou walked over and squeezed away Luo Zhi's seat without making a sound.
"...You just need to research some simple new products." Xiao Yue was just saying this, and when Luo Zhi pursed his lips and left her, she looked at Fu Xunzhou and said helplessly: "He wants to make more beautiful and complicated desserts, so I asked him to slow down for a while."
After all, making samples is simple, but it is difficult for Fang Sanhong to learn it alone in Qingyun City, and the sisters also have to remember the order in which to place the ingredients.
A total of five new products have been added in the past two days, which is about enough.
The dessert series has only been launched for half a month, and it would be better if complex and simple desserts were interspersed.
Fu Xunzhou understood what he said, glanced at Luo Zhi's back, and said calmly: "You have the final say in your store."
Luo Zhi probably heard it, and paused for a moment before continuing to leave.
Xiao Yue sighed softly but didn't know what to say, mainly because complicated desserts were indeed time-consuming.
Looks like I need to make room for two more dessert baking machines...
"Don't think too much. This is something he should reflect on." Fu Xunzhou naturally took her slightly cold hand and said, "Tang Tang misses you very much."
Xiao Yue's thoughts were indeed diverted. She raised her eyelids to look at him and blurted out: "Is Tang Tang the only one who misses me?"
Fu Xunzhou didn't come yesterday afternoon, and the two of them haven't met until now, but this is the first time in these few days.
"...I want to, too." Fu Xunzhou's ears turned red. He moved closer, pinched her fingers and said, "Are you going to see Tang Tang later?"
Xiao Yue smiled but said nothing.
Grandma Tang and Tang Tang had already settled down in the City Lord's Mansion. Although the courtyard they were assigned was a bit remote, it had all the best things.
Doctor Ye also found two maids to take care of them, calling them his "apprentices."
In fact, Xiao Yue went to see Grandma Tang and Tang Tang the day after they moved in. After all, it was he who proposed the matter, and only by going there could they feel at ease.
Xiao Yue also redeemed Grandma Tang's jade pendant. It looked of good quality, but the price was only fifteen taels of silver, which made her angry.
However, Xiao Yue did not show it. He just put the jade pendant in a food box and gave it to Grandma Tang.
And from now on until Tang Tang recovers, Yue Ting will be responsible for their meals, which will be brought by the person who usually delivers meals to Fu Xunzhou.
Doctor Ye agreed with this point the most. While eating, he praised Xiao Yue for his good consideration.
He stayed in that small courtyard until Xiao Yue left that day and didn't go anywhere else. He also pretended not to notice Fu Xunzhou's eyes wandering to other places outside the courtyard.
That was a much larger territory, and those two knew it very well.
Fu Xunzhou wanted her to go, but she refused.
The same is true this time.
However, when the carriage stopped more than half an hour later, Xiao Yue got off to take a look and found that it was the main gate of a magnificent mansion.
She glanced at Fu Xunzhou, who took her hand, lowered his head and looked at her pleasantly, without saying a word.
Xiao Yue: “…”
Are you acting like a spoiled child?
Forget it, now that she’s here and this place is big, can she take a detour?
Xiao Yue finally followed him in.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, she felt familiar with the mansion. It was quiet and peaceful everywhere, like a paradise in the city.
So it turned out that Duan Lin took me out through another side door at that time?
“…”
How big this place is!
After a long time, Xiao Yue came to Fu Xunzhou's main courtyard. After entering the familiar bedroom and taking a look around, she snorted softly.
At this time, Fu Xunzhou said: "I confirmed right here and then that I would give myself to you."
Xiao Yue was stunned and looked at him in disbelief: "You brought me here, didn't you, just to say this?"
Fu Xunzhou nodded, his eyes flashing slightly, and walked closer to her.
"You..." Xiao Yue had no way to retreat because there was a pillar behind her. She found that this man had become a different person since that night. She held his chest in shame and anger and ran away immediately: "You clingy guy, I want to go see Tang Tang!"
As soon as he went out, he ran into Duan Lin, and Xiao Yue asked him to lead the way.
Fu Xunzhou followed her slowly with a smile on his face.
Duan Lin: “???”
Am I a tool?
moment.
When Xiao Yue arrived at the courtyard she had visited last time, Grandma Tang was sweeping the snow. She was stunned at first when she saw her figure, and then she came to greet her happily.
The two chatted for a few words and went to the room together to see Tang Tang, who still couldn't stand the wind and catch a cold.
