Mingsi pulled me to sit on the sofa and put the cake knife in my hand.
"This is made by my mom. It's her first time, so it's not very pretty yet."
I was completely confused. Today is not my birthday, nor is it a holiday. Why did Mingsi suddenly prepare a cake to celebrate?
Perhaps seeing my confusion, Mingsi explained with a smile, "This cake is to celebrate the first successful ribbon-cutting project you've completed since becoming the chairman of Huake!"
She was referring to the technology real estate project.
I didn't take this matter to heart at all. In my opinion, the successful completion of this project was a matter of course.
But in Mingsi's eyes, he seemed very proud and satisfied with my performance.
She murmured, "I knew my daughter would be the best! You will definitely make Huake better and better in the future."
I was happy to receive Mingsi's affirmation, but I was worried about Lu Zhiyuan and Yan Meng, so my smile was a little forced.
Mingsi urged me excitedly, "Cut the cake and have a taste."
Although I didn't have much of an appetite, I couldn't bear to see Mingsi disappointed, so I cooperated and cut the cake and shared it with her.
The cake is slightly sweet, not cloyingly sweet, and the cream melts in your mouth, delicate and mellow.
Facing Mingsi's expectant gaze, I quickly gave him a thumbs-up: "Delicious! This is the best cake I've ever eaten!"
Seeing Mingsi's smug smile, I felt a little relieved and subconsciously turned on my phone to take a look.
Lu Zhiyuan hasn't replied to my message yet.
Maybe I looked at my phone too frequently, which made Mingsi realize that something was wrong with me.
She asked suspiciously, "Xiao Shan, what's wrong with you? I see you're absent-minded."
I came back to my senses, gave her a comforting smile, and evaded the question, "Nothing, probably just because I had too much to do today and I'm a little tired."
Mingsi sighed and blamed himself, "Look at me. I knew you were exhausted from cutting the ribbon today, but I still asked you to accompany me here to eat cake. If you are tired, don't eat. Go back to your room and rest early."
"It's okay, the cakes my mom makes are delicious, I love them!"
This is something Mingsi specially prepared for her. How could I bear to spoil her fun?
I deliberately finished all the cake before going upstairs to my room.
My body is indeed tired, but I can't fall asleep peacefully no matter how much I toss and turn.
I haven't received any calls so far, and there's no gossip about Bailu Clothing on the Internet. Does that at least mean that Lu Zhiyuan and Yan Meng haven't met yet?
Otherwise, if they started arguing, the employees would definitely be outraged.
But if Lu Zhiyuan didn’t go looking for Yan Meng, where did he go?
Why don't you reply to my messages? Are you blaming me?
I was completely sleepless, so I sat up, leaned against the headboard, and took out my phone to call Lu Zhiyuan again.
However, before I dialed the number, my phone vibrated and Lu Zhiyuan's name appeared on the screen.
I was surprised and delighted, and answered the call immediately.
I asked anxiously, "Where are you? Why haven't you answered the phone?"
Lu Zhiyuan was silent for two seconds, then said in a low voice, "I'm near your house. Do you want to go out for a midnight snack together?"
Judging from his tone, he seemed to be quite calm.
But I know Lu Zhiyuan. He is a person who likes to keep everything to himself. Even if he feels sad, he always hides it.
Just like the day when Lu Jing was declared dead by the hospital, he chose to digest the pain by hiding away and smoking.
I responded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll come find you."
