Song Xuanxuan finally understood why the little one had said she didn't get it.
Because she really didn't.
How could there be something this delicious in the world?!
How could there still be something this delicious in the world?!
How could there still be something this delicious in the world?!
As a foodie, Song Xuanxuan considered herself to have sampled quite a few delicacies.
But!
She truly had never eaten this Ice Crystal Cake before.
The key was, it was just so, so delicious!
It was so good... she was about to cry!
The macarons, strawberry cake, and everything else she had eaten earlier were truly not worth mentioning beside this half-piece of Ice Crystal Cake.
Seeing Song Xuanxuan's blissful expression, Lu Xiyao said smugly:
"Hmph, Sister Song, what do you think? My dad's Ice Crystal Cake is delicious, right?"
"It's so delicious!"
"Yao Yao, half a piece is too little. Let your sister have another half-piece."
"No, I don't even have enough for myself!"
"Just one piece. I know Yao Yao is very generous."
Like a child, Song Xuanxuan started begging for food.
"No, no! You can eat those cakes. I don't have enough Ice Crystal Cake for myself either~!"
"Little darling Yao Yao, you're the best~! You're the most generous~! Give your sister one bite, and I'll take you to catch plushies~!"
"Then I want to catch Miffy Rabbit and Pikachu."
"No problem."
"Only one little bite."
"Don't worry, just one little bite."
Lu Xiyao stretched out her soft, fair little hand and passed over a small piece of Ice Crystal Cake.
Song Xuanxuan got her wish and ate a small bite of Ice Crystal Cake.
Not satisfied.
Not enough.
But there was no more.
The little one had finished an entire box of Ice Crystal Cake, while Song Xuanxuan had only gotten a tiny taste.
Song Xuanxuan looked at the remaining boxes.
Lu Xiyao asked slyly, "Sister Song, do you want to eat these boxes?"
"I do... uh... no, no, no, I won't eat them."
Song Xuanxuan quickly waved her hands.
Those were for the Chairman and Chairman's Wife, as well as President Shen. She didn't dare eat them.
"Alright, carry things out according to these plans..."
Over by the desk, Shen Muyan finished discussing work, and the heads of several departments left the office.
"Yao Yao."
Shen Muyan walked over to the refreshment counter. Seeing Song Xuanxuan chatting and laughing with the little one, her brows relaxed.
"Mom, are you done?"
Lu Xiyao closed her tablet and lifted her head to look at Shen Muyan.
"Mm, Mom will keep you company for a while, okay?"
"Xuanxuan, pour me a cup of coffee."
"Yes, President Shen."
Song Xuanxuan stood up, wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth, and went to make coffee.
Shen Muyan sat beside Lu Xiyao and pinched her little palm.
"Yao Yao, what are you eating?"
"Ice Crystal Cake. Mom, do you want some?"
Shen Muyan glanced at the white plastic bag and frowned.
This kind of thing was probably bought from a street stall. It likely had a lot of additives and coloring.
How could Lu Qin buy something like this for her to eat?
"Mom doesn't eat sweets. Yao Yao should eat less too, understand?"
"Okay."
The little one's eyes darted around before she said:
"Mom, this box is from Dad for you. If you won't eat it, then it'll be mine~!"
"Fine, fine, it's all yours."
Hearing that Lu Qin had given it to her, Shen Muyan was briefly stunned and felt a tiny bit moved.
Still, she didn't eat this kind of pastry.
Song Xuanxuan shot Lu Xiyao a strange look.
This clever little imp had deliberately not mentioned how delicious the Ice Crystal Cake was, so President Shen's portion naturally became hers.
Song Xuanxuan felt that her boss ought to try the Ice Crystal Cake made by her ex-husband.
Apparently, she had no idea Yao Yao's Dad had this kind of skill.
Shen Muyan drank coffee to refresh herself. After keeping Lu Xiyao company for just over twenty minutes, she went back to work.
Lu Xiyao played Plants vs. Zombies by herself on the tablet.
"Yao Yao, you should plant Snow Pea Shooters. They can slow down zombies."
Song Xuanxuan suggested.
"I don't like them. I want to plant lots of sunflowers."
"I like sunflowers~!"
After playing for a while, Lu Xiyao's mouth started craving something, so she took out Shen Muyan's box of Ice Crystal Cake and began eating it.
"Yao Yao, look, there's a rainbow outside the window."
"Huh?"
"There isn't one. Where's the rainbow?"
Lu Xiyao turned her head in confusion, only to see Song Xuanxuan sitting expressionlessly without saying a word.
The little one found it a little strange.
She lowered her head and looked into the box, feeling as though a piece of Ice Crystal Cake was missing.
Just as she was about to count them, a hearty laugh came from the door.
"Little darling Yao Yao, Grandpa and Grandma are back!"
"Hello, Chairman! Hello, Chairman's Wife!"
Song Xuanxuan quickly swallowed the Ice Crystal Cake in her mouth and greeted them respectfully.
"Grandpa!"
"Grandma! You're back?"
Lu Xiyao was delighted to see Shen Hongda and Jiang Qin.
Shen Hongda strode over and scooped Lu Xiyao up in his arms.
Jiang Qin gently stroked Lu Xiyao's head, her eyes full of kindness and affection.
"Grandpa, Grandma, are you tired from flying?"
"Seeing little darling Yao Yao means we're not tired at all."
Shen Hongda and Jiang Qin took the little one away.
First, they took her to the amusement park to play to her heart's content.
Shen Hongda was still strong and healthy, and he even rode the pirate ship with her.
