Chapter 175 I Just Want to Eat That
"It's finally done!"
Su Jin looked at the birthday cake in front of her and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
This tiny thing took her a whole day to make.
"It's so beautiful!"
Wu Ma, who was standing by helping out, was also amazed when she saw the finished product.
This was the first time she had ever seen such beautiful pastries.
But even though it looks nice, it's such a waste of eggs and milk.
When Su Jin was doing it, she felt extremely distressed.
"Next, we'll pack it up, and then we'll be all done," Su Jin said as she prepared to find suitable packaging materials.
At this moment, Xiao Yunfeng walked in from outside.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, he smelled a rich milky aroma.
A fleeting look of surprise crossed his eyes.
It seems the little girl's cake is almost done.
"Uncle, why are you back so early?"
Su Jin was extremely surprised to see him, and then looked at the clock next to her.
It's not even five o'clock yet.
Xiao Yunfeng did not answer her question, but walked straight to the dining table and focused his gaze on the cake.
It was a round pastry covered with a layer of white, egg-milk-like substance, shaped like flowers, which looked quite novel.
Especially noteworthy is the inclusion of "Happy Birthday" in the very center, a truly ingenious touch.
Seeing that he was watching so intently, Su Jin straightened her back considerably.
"How is it? This is the birthday cake, not bad, right?"
With a smug and confident expression, he awaited Xiao Yunfeng's affirmation and praise.
Xiao Yunfeng remained calm as usual and said, "It looks alright, but I hope it's all show and no substance."
Su Jin's eyes widened. "Of course not! This is absolutely the most delicious cake ever!"
The cream on top was whipped with milk and eggs, and not a drop of water was added to the cake base; it was all made with high-quality ingredients.
"Commander Xiao, the pastries Xiao Jin made are really soft, fragrant, and sweet." Aunt Wu chimed in from the side, unable to resist patting her protruding belly.
I'm just really stuffed from eating too much.
All the failed attempts Su Jin had made before ended up in her stomach.
“Since Aunt Wu says so, it seems I really have to try it.” Xiao Yunfeng’s words were not a question, but a statement before taking action.
"no!"
Su Jin saw him pick up the spoon on the table and, like a hen with its feathers standing on end, tightly protect the cake.
"If Uncle eats it, the whole thing won't be complete!"
Xiao Yunfeng stopped what he was doing, his furrowed brows revealing his displeasure.
However, Su Jin's next words made him feel a little better.
"I specially saved a piece for my uncle!"
After all, he had said he wanted to eat that morning, and luckily she listened and was more cautious.
Wu Ma immediately understood and brought out the plate that was placed in the corner.
Xiao Yunfeng looked at the small piece on it, which was not even in a regular shape, and knew it was definitely made from leftover scraps.
"This was specially saved for me?"
He emphasized the word "specially" when he said it.
Su Jin felt a little guilty, but still forced herself to speak confidently, "Although it doesn't look very pretty, it tastes the same. Uncle, try it first. If you like it, I'll make one for you next time it's your birthday!"
His face was full of ingratiating smiles.
One second.
Two seconds.
Five seconds.
Xiao Yunfeng didn't speak, so she could only maintain that expression, and the muscles at the corners of her mouth were getting sore.
"But I really want to eat that."
Xiao Yunfeng spoke very seriously, his gaze falling once again on the exquisite birthday cake.
