He retreated to the door, crossed his arms, and looked at her seriously.
Perhaps because she knew that someone was watching her, she was a little nervous at first, and her movements were slow. When she squeezed the lemon juice, her fingers trembled, and there was too much juiceâ¦
Jing Hanchuan frowned.?Why is she being so careless?
Seeing her clumsy movements, Jing Hanchuan lost interest and returned to his seat to wait calmly. He didnât seem to be looking forward to the dessert anymore. There was too much lemon. She might want to sour him to death.
Butâ¦
Her fingersâ¦
Jing Hanchuan suddenly laughed softly.
Her mother sang Beijing opera. Her fingers were slender and quite beautiful. Most of the females he had seen, such as Song Fengwan and Yu Manxi, had slender fingers. Her handsâ¦
Why do they look so meaty?
The Jing family members were dumbstruck again!?Why is he suddenly laughing so strangely? I donât get it at all.
âSixth Master is a little unusual today!â
âPerhaps itâs because he was traveling for the past few days and was stimulated by Master to become even more abnormal.â
â¦
***
About half an hour later, she brought out a small cake. âSorry to keep you waiting.â
Jing Hanchuan didnât say anything. He picked up a fork at the side and scooped a piece. Before he put it in his mouth, he saw her standing still with a burning gazeâ¦
Her hands were twisting uneasily, and she looked nervous.
âWhy are you looking at me?â Jing Hanchuan didnât have the kind of hobby of letting people admire him when he ate. He frowned slightly.
The young lady was wearing a mask, so her face couldnât be seen clearly, but her ears were red from embarrassment. â⦠No, Iâm waiting for you to have a taste. I donât know if youâll like it.â
âDoes it matter if I like it or not?â Jing Hanchuan asked.
The two Jing family members sitting at the back were dumbfounded.
My dear grandfather, why do you always talk to young ladies like this?!
What nonsense is this? No wonder you can only fish to pass the time even though Third Master has already started eating meat. Girls wonât like you like this.
The young lady was stunned and didnât know what to say.
Jing Hanchuan grew up in a harsh environment. His father had never asked him if he liked something or not. If his father liked something, he had to like it too. His father was strong and domineering, and he had never asked for his opinion, so Jing Hanchuan had asked this question.
The young lady smiled bitterly. âI wanted to see if you had any suggestions so that I could improve it in the future.â
Jing Hanchuan lowered his head and took a bite of cake. He only said two words:
âNot bad.â
The young lady didnât say anything.?Not badâ¦
This evaluation wasnât good, and it seemed forced. Her eyes were a little dejected.

Duan Linbai finally found Jing Hanchuan according to the location information sent by a certain someone. He was hopping mad.
This place was all alleys, making him look around for a long time. When he finally found the place, he saw a certain someone eating cake leisurely through the window. There was even a young lady with blood-red ears standing beside him.
She was wearing a mask, so he couldnât see anything clearly. But her eyes were quite good-looking. She stood in front of Jing Hanchuan uneasily and kept staring at him nervouslyâ¦
Duan Linbai was speechless.
Oh, spring is here. Itâs the season to fall in love.
Our Hanhan found such a secluded place to pick up a girl?
Jing Hanchuan had long noticed Duan Linbai outside the window. He turned his head to look at him, and their eyes metâ¦
He frowned slightly.?Why is he smiling? Why are his eyes showing kindness and relief? Heâs smiling like an old father.
Jing Hanchuan was speechless.?This fellow must be thinking something weird.
The girl also noticed Duan Linbai and hurriedly opened the door. Duan Linbai walked in and sat down opposite Jing Hanchuan.
âWhat would you like to order?â She looked at Duan Linbai calmly.
Duan Linbai was a little surprised.?No matter what, Iâm still considered a âlittle internet celebrityâ. Sheâs actually not surprised that I appeared? Doesnât this girl go online?
Even if she doesnât know me, with my handsome looks, she isnât taking another look at me? Why is she so calm?
âI wantââ Duan Linbai was about to speak when Jing Hanchuan interrupted him.
âHe doesnât need anything.â
Duan Linbai was stunned.?It wasnât easy for me to get here, and Iâm not asking him to treat me. Why canât I order food?
Jing Hanchuan could tell that the things in this store werenât freshly made. It would take a lot of time for her to make a dessert.
âThen Iâll get you a drink. Thereâs only bubble tea in the store. Please wait a moment.â
After she served the bubble tea, she silently retreated to the kitchen. She lowered her head and fiddled with her phone, a little distracted.
âHey, Hanchuan, who is this girl?â Duan Linbai lowered his voice and even secretly sized up the person sitting at the cash register.
âHow would I know?â Jing Hanchuan glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
Ever since his evaluation, she hadnât looked at him. Actually, although this cake had more lemon added, it tasted surprisingly good. He was just used to commenting on things like this.
âDonât you want to woo her? You specially chased her here?
âThis place is so remote that I almost got the location wrong.â
Jing Hanchuan raised his eyebrows. âAm I one to do such a thing?â
âF*ck, your living environment has been so difficult since you were a child. Youâre a psychopath. What kind of crazy things canât you do? Even if you got a girl pregnant, I think itâs normal.â
Duan Linbai drank his bubble tea.
Jing Hanchuan sneered and didnât say anything.
âBased on my experience of seeing countless women, this girl definitely looks good.â
âSeeing countless women? Why are you still a virgin?â
Duan Linbai snorted coldly. âIâm very picky, okay? I never flirt casually. This young ladyâs voice is sweet. If you donât like her, should I go after her? Iâll ask for her WeChat later.â
Jing Hanchuanâs eyes were cold. âYouâre not allowed.â
âSince you donât like her, why arenât you letting me go after her?â Duan Linbai was purely joking.
He was the typical kind of person who looked dissolute and unrestrained. If he really met someone he liked and was attracted to, he would be a coward.
Unexpectedly, Jing Hanchuan directly said, âYou two arenât suitable. Donât ruin her.â
Duan Linbai was dumbfounded!?F*ck, how is it ruining her by being with me? Do you know how to talk?! He gritted his teeth in anger.
The two of them chatted for more than half an hour before getting up to leave.
âHow much is it?â Duan Linbai walked to the cash register to pay.
After they paid, she watched the group leave. âThank you for coming.â
Jing Hanchuan was turning his head to talk to Duan Linbai without looking back.
She got up to clean up the cups and plates on the table. Only then did she notice that the cake she had made had already been eaten. There was a napkin under the plateâ¦
[The cake was delicious.]
The writing was elegant and uninhibited.
She held the napkin, her palms slightly hot.
She suddenly felt that the spring sun⦠was so warm.

At this moment, Fu Chen was at home. He tilted his head and looked at the seating arrangements that Dai Yunqing had rearrangedâ¦
Chuanbei and Lingnan were together.
âThird Brother, will nothing really happen with this arrangement?â Dai Yunqing was still uneasy.
âThat day is our familyâs big day. No matter what grudges the two families have, they wonât openly cause trouble. Eldest Sister-in-Law, donât worry. Look, in this case, arenât the seats almost full? Itâs really not appropriate for you to separate them!â
Fu Chen had thousands of reasons and could always convince Dai Yunqing.
âThatâs it then. I hope the wedding goes smoothly.â
âIt will definitely go smoothly!â Fu Chen said firmly.
He chuckled softly. Coincidentally, this little fool Fu Yuxiu saw it. Actually, he didnât know much about Jing Hanchuan. After all, they werenât familiar with each other, and he didnât dare to ask about it. He knew that the two families didnât get along, but he didnât know the exact reason.
When he saw his third uncle smiling so evilly, his back suddenly felt cold.
So f*cking scary!
He got up and silently moved away from him.
