Lin Xiaowan was not very confident about the task given to her. She said, “But I don’t know anyone. The best patissier is already working in our shop. The next best patissier 1 know is you, Sister.”

Zhu Yingyue blushed upon hearing these words. How could she compare to an internationally recognized patissier? Although she felt that Lin Xiaowan was overestimating her ability, she could tell that Lin Xiaowan was sincere in her praise. It made her heart bloom with joy.

After a moment, Zhu Yingyue said truthfully, “President Huo has a lot of connections. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, I have a few candidates in mind. However, I’m afraid they might not want to work in a small shop like ours. Hence, I thought it’d be better if you speak to them. Perhaps they’ll be more inclined to join us on account of President Huo.”

Lin Xiaowan did not have any objections so she agreed. “This shouldn’t be a problem. Just send me the list of candidates. I’ll try and talk to them.”

After discussing the matter of expanding the business, Zhu Yingyue asked Lin Xiaowan what the latter wanted to have for dinner.

Lin Xiaowan, who had just finished eating the sugar fritters, perked up immediately. She asked, “Sister, are you particular about food?”

Although Zhu Yingyue was rather wealthy, she lived a rather low-key lifestyle. She did not care much about her food and clothes. She said, “No. I can eat anything as long as it’s not too spicy.” 𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦

Lin Xiaowan looked at Zhu Yingyue with bright eyes as she said, “Why don’t we eat at food stalls? There’s a food street in the university area!”

Zhu Yingyue did not mind this, but she was slightly surprised by Lin Xiaowan’s suggestion. “Why did you think of going there? What do you want to eat? I don’t mind eating there. I eat junk food every now and then…”

Seeing that Zhu Yingyue had no objection, Lin Xiaowan became even happier. She counted with her fingers as she said, “I want to eat fried chicken wings, octopus balls, ice cream, fried yogurt slices, oden… 1 want to eat everything!”

Lin Xiaowan’s eyes lit up as she continued to say, “Oh, there’s a small stall there that sells meat pie! The meat pies there are extremely delicious. I wonder if the old lady is still selling meat pies there… The meat pies there are the best in the capital! If the stall is open, I want to eat five!”

Seeing how much Lin Xiaowan praised the stall, Zhu Yingyue also began to crave it. She said, “Alright, then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

“Let’s go! Let’s go!”

Lin Xiaowan rose to her feet immediately.

Seeing how excited Lin Xiaowan was, Zhu Yingyue said with a helpless smile, “Put on your coat. I saw you didn’t wear your coat earlier when you came into the shop. It’s cold now. Remember to wear your coat, understand?”

The shop was rather warm so Lin Xiaowan did not wear her coat. If it were not for Zhu Yingyue’s reminder, she would not have put on her coat until she felt the cold wind again.

Before leaving, Lin Xiaowan picked up her plate and returned it to the kitchen. While she was talking to one of the employees, she was suddenly interrupted.

“Miss Lin, what a coincidence! Do you like the desserts here as well?” a surprised voice said from the side.

Lin Xiaowan turned around and saw the young woman she saw the day she moved into the house in Xilin Imperial Garden. Previously, the young woman had also come to visit her once but was turned away. As soon as she saw the other party, she really wished she could escape.

Lin Xiaowan did not know the other party, and she knew that it was not good to judge a book by its cover. However, she could not help but feel a sense of aversion toward the other party. Since there were many people around, she could only smile politely and say, “What a coincidence.”

It was obvious that Lin Xiaowan did not really want to talk, but Lu Yingxin did not care at all. She seized the opportunity to talk to Lin Xiaowan, saying, “I brought my cat to visit you previously, but you weren’t home. 1 didn’t expect to meet you here. It seems like we can be considered fated, right?”

Lin Xiaowan laughed awkwardly. “1 guess.”

Seeing how uncomfortable Lin Xiaowan was, Zhu Yingyue said, “Let’s go. The traffic will be bad later.”

“Okay!” Lin Xiaowan nodded vigorously before she said to Lu Yingxin, “I have other things to do so I’ll take my leave first.”

“May I ask where Miss Lin is going? It’s almost time for dinner. I know a delicious Western restaurant nearby. How about I treat the two of you to a meal? I really want to be friends with Miss Lin,” Lu Yingxin said enthusiastically as though she could not hear the refusal in Lin Xiaowan’s words.

Lin Xiaowan was slightly annoyed by Lu Yingxin’s inability to take a hint. She said, “Perhaps another time. The two of us have plans today.”

Lu Yingyin did not give up and decided to give it another try. “Then can I visit you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? I’ll bring my kitten with me, and we can talk about cats.”

Lin Xiaowan had a problem saying ‘no’ to people. She was defeated by Lu Yingxin’s enthusiasm and could only nod reluctantly. However, she regretted it as soon as she nodded.

Lu Yingxin saw the regret on Lin Xiaowan’s face, but she naturally would not let Lin Xiaowan go back on her words. She quickly brought her phone out and said, “Can I have your number? With this, I don’t have to worry about visiting when you’re not around. In fact, it’s not a big deal, but I just feel bad for my kitten. Ah, 1 just realized I didn’t tell you my name. I’m Lu Yingxin.”

‘If you feel bad for your kitten, then you should just stay at home. Can’t you tell that I’m unwilling?’ Lin Xiaowan thought to herself.

In the end, they exchanged numbers. Otherwise, Lin Xiaowan was really worried Lu Yingxin would visit over and over again until she succeeded. That would not be good for the cat either. Previously, she heard from Aunt Wu that Lu Yingxin carried the cat over without any protection.

After the two of them left, Zhu Yingyue asked, “What’s with her? She’s a little too enthusiastic about you. It’s like a tiger seeing meat.”

Lin Xiaowan said, puzzled, “I don’t know either. 1 only met her once on the day I moved into the house in Xilin Imperial Garden. I saw her for five minutes at most. I really don’t understand her.”

Initially, Lin Xiaowan wanted to say that she had a bad impression of Lu Yingxin and that she felt that Lu Yingxin was up to no good. However, on second thought, she felt that she did not know Lu Yingxin well enough to judge her.

In any case, the small episode was quickly thrown to the back of her mind. When they arrived at the food street, Lin Xiaowan was like a mouse that had been thrown into a bucket of rice.

The first stall at the entrance sold fried chicken and fried squid, and Lin Xiaowan happily queued up for them..
