Xiang Zhilan was surprised not by how delicious the cookie was, but by the fact that she and Ni Sitian had made desserts together before.
It's been almost three years since then. She still remembers that she was dating Feng Jingxian back then, and Ni Sitian and Xu Tingchuan weren't as inseparable as they are now. Moreover, Ni Sitian was terrible at making desserts, and even with molds, her creations were terrible.
These days, these baked cookies are even more exquisite than those sold in the market. Although the taste isn't exceptional, it's quite unique.
"Not bad, right?" Ni Sitian leaned close to Xiang Zhilan's ear and whispered with a smile, "Actually, this cookie has some fruits and vegetables in it. There are some dishes that Tuantuan doesn't like to eat, so I always have to try my best to find a way to eat them."
Xiang Zhilan nodded knowingly. Her Hengheng was alright, but Xiao Kui was a picky eater, so she always had to make the fruits and vegetables that Xiao Kui didn't like into shapes that she liked, and that would coax her to eat a little bit.
"I really envy you. You're so free now that you even have time to research and tinker with these things." Xiang Zhilan put down her teacup and pinched Ni Sitian's cheek. "And you've kept yourself so plump and healthy."
"That's enough." Ni Sitian slapped Xiang Zhilan's hand away playfully, then couldn't help pinching her cheek, saying with some annoyance, "Am I really that fat? It's all his fault, he always encourages me to eat."
Xiang Zhilan suppressed a laugh: "No, I was just kidding. Your Mr. Xu probably likes the feel of this."
Ni Sitian recalled Xu Tingchuan's enthusiasm last night, and it seemed to be true. She couldn't help but smile.
"Look at you, smiling so sweetly when you talk about Mr. Xu, you're going to torture single people like this." Xiang Zhilan poked Ni Sitian's dimples.
"I didn't," Ni Sitian denied, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up even higher. She inadvertently noticed the mark on Xiang Zhilan's neck inside her collar, and she recognized it at a glance. Remembering that Shen Muzhi had brought them here earlier, she couldn't help but ask, "What's going on between you and Shen Muzhi?"
Xiang Zhilan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "What else could it be? The child's father and mother, of course. I didn't plan to avoid him when I came back, but I didn't expect to run into him that very night."
"No wonder I heard from Tingchuan that his engagement with Miss Bai was canceled."
"He and that Miss Bai..." Xiang Zhilan smiled helplessly and told Ni Sitian about the chance encounter at the supermarket that day, as well as the true relationship between Miss Bai and Shen Muzhi, and the fact that Shen Muzhi lived in the house opposite hers.
"So that's how it is." Ni Sitian had already guessed that the engagement was a ruse, but she didn't expect that Bai Yutong and Shen Muzhi had this kind of relationship.
As the two were talking, they saw that Tuantuan had already solved the simple nine-linked rings and then looked up at Ni Sitian.
Ni Sitian had run out of words to praise her son. He could do so many things she never expected. The older he got, the more he seemed to be different from other children his age. She clapped her hands and praised, "Tuantuan is so great, come over and say hello."
Tuantuan stood up, took short steps and walked over, saying with a very clear stutter, "Hello, Auntie, hello, brothers and sisters."
Xiang Zhilan bent down and picked him up. He was more than two months younger than Hengheng and the others. He looked very quiet and already had a little gentlemanly air about him. He was especially adorable in his panda costume. She smiled at Ni Sitian and said, "If Tuantuan wasn't even younger than Xiaokui, I would have brought him over to be my son-in-law."
"Pfft, it's only been two months. You can still do it if you want." Ni Sitian immediately bought her son. She thought Xiao Kui was very cute, with delicate features, and looked like Zhi Lan. She would definitely grow up to be a great beauty.
