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 juice…

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 didn’t seem to be looking forward to the dessert anymore. There was too much lemon. She might want to sour him to death.

But…

Her fingers…

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 hands…

Why do they look so meaty?

The Jing family members were dumbstruck again! Why is he suddenly laughing so strangely? I don’t get it at all.

“Sixth Master is a little unusual today!”

“Perhaps it’s because he was traveling for the past few days and was stimulated by Master to become even more abnormal.”

…

***

About half an hour later, she brought out a small cake. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Jing Hanchuan didn’t 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 gaze…

Her hands were twisting uneasily, and she looked nervous.

“Why are you looking at me?” Jing Hanchuan didn’t 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 couldn’t be seen clearly, but her ears were red from embarrassment. “… No, I’m waiting for you to have a taste. I don’t know if you’ll like it.”

“Does it matter if I like it or not?” 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 won’t like you like this.

The young lady was stunned and didn’t 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. “I wanted to see if you had any suggestions so that I could improve it in the future.”

Jing Hanchuan lowered his head and took a bite of cake. He only said two words:

“Not bad.”

The young lady didn’t say anything. Not bad…

This evaluation wasn’t 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 couldn’t see anything clearly. But her eyes were quite good-looking. She stood in front of Jing Hanchuan uneasily and kept staring at him nervously…

Duan Linbai was speechless.

Oh, spring is here. It’s 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 met…

He frowned slightly. Why is he smiling? Why are his eyes showing kindness and relief? He’s 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.

“What would you like to order?” She looked at Duan Linbai calmly.

Duan Linbai was a little surprised. No matter what, I’m still considered a ‘little internet celebrity’. She’s actually not surprised that I appeared? Doesn’t this girl go online?

Even if she doesn’t know me, with my handsome looks, she isn’t taking another look at me? Why is she so calm?

“I want—” Duan Linbai was about to speak when Jing Hanchuan interrupted him.

“He doesn’t need anything.”

Duan Linbai was stunned. It wasn’t easy for me to get here, and I’m not asking him to treat me. Why can’t I order food?

Jing Hanchuan could tell that the things in this store weren’t freshly made. It would take a lot of time for her to make a dessert.

“Then I’ll get you a drink. There’s only bubble tea in the store. Please wait a moment.”

After she served the bubble tea, she silently retreated to the kitchen. She lowered her head and fiddled with her phone, a little distracted.

“Hey, Hanchuan, who is this girl?” Duan Linbai lowered his voice and even secretly sized up the person sitting at the cash register.

“How would I know?” Jing Hanchuan glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

Ever since his evaluation, she hadn’t 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.

“Don’t you want to woo her? You specially chased her here?

“This place is so remote that I almost got the location wrong.”

Jing Hanchuan raised his eyebrows. “Am I one to do such a thing?”

“F*ck, your living environment has been so difficult since you were a child. You’re a psychopath. What kind of crazy things can’t you do? Even if you got a girl pregnant, I think it’s normal.”

Duan Linbai drank his bubble tea.

Jing Hanchuan sneered and didn’t say anything.

“Based on my experience of seeing countless women, this girl definitely looks good.”

“Seeing countless women? Why are you still a virgin?”

Duan Linbai snorted coldly. “I’m very picky, okay? I never flirt casually. This young lady’s voice is sweet. If you don’t like her, should I go after her? I’ll ask for her WeChat later.”

Jing Hanchuan’s eyes were cold. “You’re not allowed.”

“Since you don’t like her, why aren’t you letting me go after her?” 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, “You two aren’t suitable. Don’t ruin her.”

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.

“How much is it?” Duan Linbai walked to the cash register to pay.

After they paid, she watched the group leave. “Thank you for coming.”

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 plate…

[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 rearranged…

Chuanbei and Lingnan were together.

“Third Brother, will nothing really happen with this arrangement?” Dai Yunqing was still uneasy.

“That day is our family’s big day. No matter what grudges the two families have, they won’t openly cause trouble. Eldest Sister-in-Law, don’t worry. Look, in this case, aren’t the seats almost full? It’s really not appropriate for you to separate them!”

Fu Chen had thousands of reasons and could always convince Dai Yunqing.

“That’s it then. I hope the wedding goes smoothly.”

“It will definitely go smoothly!” Fu Chen said firmly.

He chuckled softly. Coincidentally, this little fool Fu Yuxiu saw it. Actually, he didn’t know much about Jing Hanchuan. After all, they weren’t familiar with each other, and he didn’t dare to ask about it. He knew that the two families didn’t get along, but he didn’t 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.
