"Not interested," Lu Xiyao still shook her head.
"Then try something else, this strawberry cake cup, here!"
Song Xuanxuan switched to another one.
"Not interested either."
"Huh? A strawberry cake cup, and you're not interested in this?"
Song Xuanxuan was puzzled. These beautiful Western pastries had always been very tempting to children.
Even she, an adult, couldn't resist them.
"Are kids these days that picky?"
Song Xuanxuan was a bit speechless. She picked up a small spoon, scooped out a bite of strawberry cake, and put it in her mouth.
"Yao Yao, if you don't eat it, Sister Song will. Look, it's delicious."
Song Xuanxuan deliberately chewed with big bites in front of Lu Xiyao, putting on a show of enjoyment.
And she was indeed enjoying it.
The hotel's pastry chef was hired by Italy, and their skills were quite good.
The little one glanced at Song Xuanxuan and sighed, saying:
"Sister, you don't understand."
"What?"
Song Xuanxuan was stunned. What didn't she understand?
She hadn't eaten anything made by Lu Qin, so it was understandable.
Lu Xiyao suddenly remembered that there were a few boxes of Ice Crystal Cake she had brought with her before leaving.
She immediately got excited.
"Sister, where are those boxes I brought?"
"Oh, you mean those boxes of White Sugar Cake? They're in my drawer."
Song Xuanxuan dug out the strawberries from the cake cup and stuffed them into her mouth.
"Please get them for me."
"Yao Yao, those probably won't taste good. There are so many pastries here."
"Just eat these."
Those boxes of "White Sugar Cake" were packed in white plastic bags, like something bought from a street food stall.
Needless to say, they definitely wouldn't taste good.
It was said that the little one's father had asked her to bring them to the chairman and his wife.
These street-bought "White Sugar Cakes"...
It seemed a bit shabby.
After thinking for a moment, Song Xuanxuan immediately understood.
President Shen's ex-husband had apparently left with nothing, so his current life must be difficult, and he couldn't afford to buy nice things.
Therefore, he asked the little one to bring something casual.
Sigh...
Song Xuanxuan thought that when the chairman and his wife arrived later, it would be best not to take out these boxes.
To maintain the "ex-husband's" dignity.
"Sister, you don't understand. Please get them for me."
Song Xuanxuan was speechless. This little one was so old-fashioned. What didn't her sister understand?
Although she thought this in her mind, Song Xuanxuan still brought over the boxes.
The little one, full of joy and anticipation, took them with both hands and placed them on the table.
"One box is mine, I'll eat it first."
The little one was also very clever, afraid that her maternal grandfather wouldn't have enough of one box and would "snatch" hers.
Her maternal grandfather often "snatched" her snacks!
Opening the box and looking at the delicate square pastries inside, white and translucent, Lu Xiyao couldn't help but exclaim.
"Wow~! So pretty~!"
Song Xuanxuan scraped the strawberry cake cup clean with her spoon and licked the cream from the corner of her lips.
She was about to get a piece of dried mango when she heard the little one's voice.
Turning her head, she saw pieces of crystal-clear, exquisite pastries lying in the simple plastic box.
These... weren't White Sugar Cakes. They looked quite good.
"Yao Yao, what is this?"
Song Xuanxuan leaned closer, asking curiously.
As soon as she got close, a rich aroma wafted into her nose.
It smelled very good.
"Daddy says this is called Ice Crystal Cake."
"Ice Crystal Cake? I've never heard of it. Is it good?"
"Of course it's good~! Everything my dad makes is super delicious."
Your ex-husband made it?
Not something bought from a street vendor?
I misunderstood.
Foodie Song Xuanxuan swallowed. The Ice Crystal Cake looked good, and she really wanted to try it.
But she had just said it wasn't good, so now she felt a bit embarrassed to ask.
Besides, this was a child's food; would it be appropriate for an adult to ask for some?
Lu Xiyao picked up a piece and took a bite.
It was soft, chewy, and springy.
It had the smoothness of jelly, with the delicate texture of a sugar cake.
This unbeatable texture and taste were especially appealing to children.
Lu Xiyao chewed the Ice Crystal Cake, saying nothing, enjoying the deliciousness.
Her big grape eyes happily narrowed into crescent moons.
"It's so yummy~!"
Lu Xiyao ate a piece in just a few bites, then licked her fingers.
Song Xuanxuan pursed her lips.
Was it really that good?
Children don't lie. Song Xuanxuan really wanted to eat it too, what should she do?
She couldn't bring herself to ask.
Lu Xiyao immediately picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.
She chewed with a happy "bia ji bia ji" sound.
Foodie Song Xuanxuan finally couldn't resist.
"Um, that... Yao Yao, can you let big sister try some?"
"Sister, didn't you just say it wasn't as good as those other cakes~!"
The little one had a good memory. Since her sister had just said her dad's food wasn't good, she wasn't going to share.
Song Xuanxuan quickly apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry, Yao Yao. Big sister didn't know any better. Your dad's Ice Crystal Cake must be really delicious."
"Just looking at it makes me crave it~!"
Hearing Song Xuanxuan's plea and praise, Lu Xiyao finally nodded.
"Okay, but I can only give you half a piece. Just a taste."
"Half a piece is fine, hehe, thank you, Yao Yao."
Lu Xiyao used a fork to cut half a piece for Song Xuanxuan.
Song Xuanxuan popped it straight into her mouth.
It was soft, chewy, sweet but not cloying, with a rich fragrance of rice and osmanthus when bitten into.
Some flavors were simply beyond description.
