Lu Wanzheng placed the bag containing skincare products on her suitcase.
Then she tried to take another bag from Xiao Qifeng's hand, "Let me see what cake you bought for me."
The bag has the logo of the coffee shop downstairs from the Xiao Group printed on its surface; it's quite exquisite.
“I was worried that I would be off work too late and the cakes would be sold out, so I specially asked Su Ge to run downstairs and ask them to save some cakes for me. If you are hungry, have a piece of cake to tide you over.”
Xiao Qifeng spoke casually, placing the bag he was holding on the coffee table before Lu Wanzheng could take it. He then took out a cake from the bag; it was in a white cardboard box, so the flavor wasn't visible.
He opened the box, and the cake inside was revealed. Judging from the color, it was a chocolate cake with three hazelnuts standing on top.
Lu Wanzheng took the cake from Xiao Qifeng's hand and looked at him with her amber eyes.
If the timing wasn't right, he wanted to hold his girl and have a good time with her. Xiao Qifeng took the remaining cake out of the bag, found the plastic fork hidden at the bottom, and handed it to Lu Wanzheng.
Mo Yushan, who was standing to the side, saw the delicious cake and looked at Lu Wanzheng with wide, round eyes, longingly.
Unable to bear such stares, Lu Wanzheng saw Xiao Qifeng preparing to put the cake he had just taken out back into the bag, and she immediately stopped him, "Mr. Xiao, please share the rest of the cake with everyone. It's getting late, and Yushan and Brother Yue must be hungry." After saying that, she looked at Mo Yushan and Zhong Yunyue.
Mo Yushan nodded repeatedly; to be honest, she was indeed a little hungry.
Zhong Yunyue listened and just smiled faintly, without saying a word. In that small contact just now, he could feel Xiao Qifeng's subtle hostility towards him.
Xiao Qifeng paused in his act of placing the cake down, then put it back on the coffee table. "Please, both of you, make yourselves at home."
"Thank you, Wanzheng, thank you, Mr. Xiao." Mo Yushan jumped up from her seat and knelt down in front of the coffee table. There were several cakes on the table, and she didn't know which one to choose. The white paper boxes made it impossible for her to see what they tasted like, so she could only guess by chance.
Xiao Qifeng walked straight to Lu Wanzheng's side and sat down next to her. This was originally Mo Yushan's seat.
Lu Wanzheng didn't rush to take the first bite. She directly used a fork to pick up a small piece of cake and held it to Xiao Qifeng's mouth, saying, "It's your favorite chocolate cake."
Xiao Qifeng opened his mouth and ate the piece of cake. After savoring it briefly, he thought it tasted even better than before. "You eat it. You must be hungry by now."
Lu Wanzheng lowered her head, took another small piece of cake, and put it in her mouth. She had eaten a lot of snacks in the afternoon and didn't feel very hungry, just a little craving.
Mo Yushan hesitated for a while among several cakes. Seeing her indecisive look, Zhong Yunyue said, "You open one first. If you don't like the taste, you can give it to me." His voice was gentle and pleasant.
"Is it okay?" Mo Yushan's eyes lit up, but she remained cautious. After all, this wasn't her boyfriend, so she couldn't make any unreasonable requests.
Zhong Yunyue nodded.
Having confirmed this, Mo Yushan opened a box. The cake was triangular and topped with blueberry jam, a flavor she didn't dislike.
"Brother Yunyue, I don't dislike this taste, I'll just eat it myself. Which one do you want? I'll get it for you."
Although she had been with Zhong Yunyue for several hours, she still felt a little nervous talking to her.
Zhong Yunyue didn't have many dietary restrictions. He glanced at Lu Wanzheng beside him and saw that she was eating with relish, so he figured it couldn't be too bad. "The one on the far right, please."
Mo Yushan handed over the rightmost piece of cake, along with a fork.
Zhong Yunyue's piece is matcha flavored.
Lu Wanzheng looked at the several cakes still on the coffee table and asked Xiao Qifeng softly, "Mr. Xiao, aren't you going to eat any cake?"
"No more cake. You can't eat any more after you finish this piece. Put the rest in the fridge and you can eat it tomorrow. Eating too much cake isn't good for you." These words sounded like they were being coaxed into a child, with a hint of doting affection in the tone.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanzheng nodded: "Oh."
When Mo Yushan turned around, she found that Xiao Qifeng had taken her seat, so she had to sit in another seat.
She bit her plastic fork and looked at Lu Wanzheng: "Wanzheng, your boyfriend is so handsome!"
"Right, right? My feelings for Mr. Xiao started with his looks, were captivated by his talent, and remained loyal to his character." Lu Wanzheng said this with a proud look on her face. The better Mr. Xiao was, the more it proved that she had good taste.
"Wanzheng, how did you and Mr. Xiao meet?" Mo Yushan noticed that the two were sitting together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Everyone has a gossipy heart, and she was very curious about how Lu Wanzheng found such a handsome man. Moreover, she found that Xiao Qifeng was very considerate and cared for Lu Wanzheng in every way.
Now that she has publicly revealed her boyfriend, she will no longer hide too much. "I met Mr. Xiao the day before my best friend's wedding. He was the only best man and I was the only bridesmaid. We had dinner together that day and that's how we met."
"Oh!" Mo Yushan exclaimed excitedly. "It's like something out of an idol drama! It must be so sweet. Can I ask a more personal question?"
Lu Wanzheng: "It depends on what you ask. We have the right not to answer." As long as it's not too outrageous, she will answer.
Mo Yushan: "Did Mr. Xiao pursue you, or did you pursue Mr. Xiao?" She quickly asked the question.
This question stumped Lu Wanzheng. She looked at Xiao Qifeng beside her in confusion, while Xiao Qifeng looked at her with a doting expression, raised his hand to pat her head, and said to Mo Yushan, "I pursued her, and I almost missed her."
Mo Yushan had a look on her face as if she had just heard some gossip.
This is so fake! So fake!
[Xiao Qifeng pursued Lu Wanzheng? A man as high-quality as Xiao Qifeng could easily attract a bunch of women with a snap of his fingers, why would he need to pursue Lu Wanzheng?]
With Xiao Qifeng being so rich, Lu Wanzheng could practically do whatever she wanted in the entertainment industry. Isn't that unfair to other actors? They work hard to succeed, while she can get roles that others have to work hard to get just by sleeping with a man.
【So rich and handsome guys aren't allowed to pursue girlfriends anymore? Does having money mean you can play with girls' feelings? You even dared to bet yourselves on a pinky slap? Believe me, I'll smash your haters' heads in with one finger!】
[Is it a mistake for a boyfriend to be rich? Do you know why she didn't want to reveal her boyfriend's identity before? It's because there are too many "scheming schemers" like you!]
