When I was almost at the entrance of the mall, I met Yao An who was patrolling the mall.

"Manager Yao." Shen Mingzhu took the initiative to greet him enthusiastically.

Yao An nodded at her as a response.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Yao An's attitude towards her was not as unfriendly as before.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Shen Mingzhu handed over the product she brought again.

"Manager Yao, you can take these snacks back for your family. Although they are not worth much, they taste good. Just treat them as something new."

Unexpectedly, Yao An did not refuse firmly this time.

"Okay, thanks then."

"You're welcome. If your family likes it, please let me know and I'll send you some more."

After watching her walk away, Yao An carried his things back to the office.

"Second Miss, the things are brought up."

Without waiting for Yan Su's instructions, Yao An took the initiative to take out the contents of the paper bag and placed them neatly on the coffee table.

The packaging is quite unique, a long white paper box with a burgundy seal in the middle with the name and trademark of the snack printed on it.

A box of flower cakes and a box of snowflake crisps.

"It looks good, Miss, would you like to try it?"

Yao An didn't mean to compliment him when he said this.

As the person in charge of the shopping mall, he naturally has a sharp eye and can tell at a glance whether something is good or not.

As soon as he opened the paper box of the flower cake, he smelled the very sweet and tempting rose fragrance.

The crust is crispy but not greasy, the filling is sweet and fragrant, and you can taste the whole rose petals.

The other box of snowflake crisps is also quite good, with a milky white color and a matchstick-sized piece. When you take a bite, you will find it soft and crispy, with a rich milky aroma mixed with the crispiness of nuts and the sweet and sour taste of dried fruits, which makes you unable to stop.

After Yao An finished one piece, he wanted to take another one, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Yan Su covered the two boxes of snacks.

He withdrew his hand awkwardly.

…

Back in the car, Yan Su put the paper bag aside, supported his forehead and thought for a while before instructing the driver.

"Go to Mingyuan."

The driver responded.

When they arrived at the Ning family, Yan Su sat in the living room for a while before Yan Jing slowly walked down the stairs in a slim-fitting yoga suit.

"Big sister."

Yan Su stood up and greeted him.

Yan Jing motioned for her to sit down, and chatted with her while walking and stretching, "What's the matter?"

Yan Su did not sit down, but followed Yan Jing not too far away.

Compared with his usual elegance and grace, Yan Su was obviously much more reserved in front of Yan Jing.

"I have a friend who makes dim sum and wants to get a shop in the Friendship Shopping Center."

Yan Jing looked back at her, her expression showing no emotion, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Female."

As he spoke, Yan Su handed the snack he brought to Yan Jing, "This is it, I think it tastes good."

Yan Jing glanced at it and nodded, "I understand."

"Then tell your brother-in-law."

"You don't need to ask him about such trivial matters. Just go to that person..."

"Yao An."

"Well, just ask him to arrange it."

"Thank you, big sister."

Yan Jing let out a long breath, finished stretching, turned around and touched Yan Su's cheek, saying lovingly, "When did you become so polite to me?"

Yan Su was embarrassed.

Yan Jing is a generation older than her. Although they have the same father but different mothers, Yan Jing dotes on her sister very much.

Sometimes, she felt that Yan Jing didn't treat her as a sister, but as a daughter.

The servant brought warm water to Yan Jing.

Yan Jing sat on the sofa, drinking water and talking to Yan Su, "I'm going to France next week and will bring you two bags. What color do you want?"

"No."

Yan Su knew her elder sister was not joking, so she said quickly, "Black, no, let's go with blue."

Yan Jing smiled, "Why don't you buy them all? You can take your time to choose, and I'll take care of the rest."

Yan Su: “…”

The two sisters chatted for a while, and Ning Yuan walked in from outside in a nonchalant manner, swinging the car keys. When he saw Yan Su, he called out "Auntie", threw the keys in the direction of the housekeeper, and sat down on the sofa.

"Mom, is there anything to eat? I'm starving."

The housekeeper caught the car keys that Ning Yuan threw over and replied with a smile: "Lunch will take another half an hour. I'll go to the kitchen to get some snacks for the young master to fill his stomach."

Yan Jing said: "No, it's on the coffee table."

The housekeeper glanced at the things on the coffee table and said with a smile, "Then I'll go make a cup of tea for the young master."

Ning Yuan was so hungry that he grabbed a flower cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

I just wanted to fill my stomach, but when I put it in my mouth I was amazed by the taste.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Not bad, what kind of cake is this?"

Yan Su replied: "Flower cake."

Ning Yuan stared at the dark red filling in the middle of the puff pastry while chewing, "Is this made of flowers? Flowers can be used to make cakes?"

Yan Jing was quite disgusted by her son's voracious eating, so she said "I'm going to take a shower" and went upstairs.

Ning Yuan finished it in a few bites and took another one.

The housekeeper thoughtfully brought some Pu'er tea to help Ningyuan relieve his greasiness. Ningyuan sipped the tea and took a bite of the cake, enjoying it very much.

Ning Yuan felt satisfied only after eating three cakes in a row. Seeing the snowflake crisps next to it, he curiously took a piece to taste.

"What is this?"

"Snowflake Crisp."

Ning Yuan looked at the milky white candy in his hand and thought that the name "Snowflake Crisp" was quite appropriate, so he casually asked which bakery he bought it from.

This question stumped Yan Su.

Although she helped Shen Mingzhu privately, she didn't want her brother to know.

The housekeeper could not understand Yan Su's concerns, "It's a friend of the second young lady who is planning to open a snack shop in the mall."

Hearing this, Ning Yuan looked at Yan Su and said, "Aunt, when does your friend open a store? I will go to support him then."

"Not so fast."

Although the snowflake pastry was delicious, it was inevitable to feel sick of it after eating several pieces of the sweets in one go. Ning Yuan reached out to get the tea, and his fingers accidentally hooked the waist seal of the pastry box.

Ning Yuan almost choked when he saw the "Mingzhu" sign printed on the waistband.

"Mingzhu? Auntie, the friend you are talking about is not Shen Mingzhu, right?"

Meeting Ning Yuan's surprised and shocked look, Yan Su was speechless for a moment.

Outside the Ning family's gate, Yan Su looked at Ning Yuan who had sent her out, "Don't tell Xiao Yi about this."

Ning Yuan had a horrified expression, "With Old Yan's temper, if he knew I had concealed this from him, he would definitely punish me severely."

"By the way, Auntie, why do you want to help Shen Mingzhu?"

Yan Su sat in the car, looking at the mountain scenery receding, thinking about the questions Ning Yuan asked her.

She has never been a soft-hearted and kind-hearted woman. In an environment like hers, being soft-hearted and kind-hearted would only be weaknesses and burdens. Exchanging interests and weighing the pros and cons are the way to survive.

She couldn't remember the last time she helped someone without asking for anything in return.

Perhaps, there is a kind of people in this world who are really special and can easily awaken people's kindness.

…

After seeing Yan Su off, Ning Yuan immediately wanted to go home and call Yan Yi. However, when he returned to the living room, he saw that his own mother had already taken a bath and was sitting on the sofa.

"Your aunt is gone?"

"Um."

Yan Jing waved to her son gently, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Ning Yuan stepped back in fear, "Mom, please don't do this, I'm scared."

Yan Jing smiled, "Can you come over?"

Ning Yuan went over and sat down obediently.

Yan Jing raised her hand to tidy up his messy hair, "I have discussed with your father and are planning an engagement for you and Xueqi in October."

"No, I don't like her!"

Yan Jing continued to smile, "Baby, do you know what it means to be a playboy?"
