Divorce, Child in Tow, Running a Stall, the CEO's Ex-Wife Chases Him - Part 31

"Hmm? What is this pastry called..."

Shen Hongda couldn't answer immediately and asked back, "Is it really that good?"

Chen Dahai took another bite of the Ice Crystal Cake, his face filled with pleasure and enjoyment.

"What? Haven't you tried it yourself?"

"I didn't get a chance to eat it before I gave it to you."

"Here, let me try a piece."

Chen Dahai quickly put away the two boxes of Ice Crystal Cake.

"You gave them to me, so what are you eating!"

Shen Hongda was stunned and raised his eyebrows, saying:

"Why are you so stingy? I gave these to you!"

"What's given to me is mine!"

"Then I'm not giving them to you anymore!"

"Not giving them? Then I won't help you with that matter!"

The two old men, with a combined age of over a hundred, started arguing over two boxes of Ice Crystal Cake.

Jiang Qin heard the commotion and came downstairs.

"You two keep it down, Yao Yao fell asleep watching cartoons."

Shen Hongda took a bite of the Ice Crystal Cake and beckoned to Jiang Qin:

"Wife, come try this pastry, it tastes really good."

Chen Dahai hid the other box of Ice Crystal Cake in his arms and said warily, "I'm taking this box with me. Old Shen, you promised to send me two more boxes tomorrow."

Shen Hongda ignored Chen Dahai and let Jiang Qin try a piece of the Ice Crystal Cake.

Jiang Qin took a bite, her eyes lit up, and she nodded:

"What is this? It tastes really amazing, better than any pastry I've ever had!"

Chen Dahai raised an eyebrow: "What? Neither of you know what it is, so where did these two boxes come from?"

"Old Shen, you said you'd give me two more boxes tomorrow, and only then did I share one box with you."

"So you don't know anything, and saying you'll give me two more boxes tomorrow was just to fool me?"

Shen Hongda: "Who's fooling you? Just wait until tomorrow."

"Alright, it's a deal. We're both people of status and standing, so you can't go back on your word."

"Alright, stop wasting time."

Shen Hongda sent Chen Dahai away, then called the driver over.

"Old Zhong, where did you buy those two boxes of pastries you took out of the car?"

Shen Hongda assumed Old Zhong had bought them on the roadside when picking up Yao Yao.

"Oh, Chairman, when picking up your granddaughter this morning, your son-in-law asked me to bring them."

"Lu Qin?" Shen Hongda was taken aback.

"Yes, it seems the son-in-law made them himself, called Ice Crystal Cake. There were four boxes in total, two for you and your wife, one for President Shen, and one for your granddaughter to eat on the way."

Jiang Qin was surprised: "I didn't expect Lu Qin to have such skill!"

Shen Hongda was also very surprised. He had lived most of his life and eaten countless delicacies.

Among them were pastries made by famous chefs.

But this Ice Crystal Cake was better and more unique than any pastry he had ever tasted.

To be able to make such an Ice Crystal Cake was no ordinary skill.

Shen Hongda sighed, "Little Lu is really thoughtful."

At first, he thought they were casually bought from street vendors due to the unremarkable packaging.

It turned out Lu Qin made them himself.

This was his gesture.

Despite the simple packaging, with the taste of this Ice Crystal Cake, it could be presented anywhere.

Didn't the fact that Chen Dahai was willing to give up his Maotai just for this Ice Crystal Cake speak for itself?

"Alright, Old Zhong, you can go rest now."

After the driver left, Shen Hongda and Jiang Qin sat on the sofa. The plastic boxes in front of them were already empty.

Each of them had only eaten one piece of the Ice Crystal Cake.

How could that possibly be enough?

The two savored the wonderful taste of the Ice Crystal Cake they had just eaten.

Sweet but not cloying, soft, sticky, and chewy.

After chewing it in their mouths, it had a special mellow fragrance.

Pastries of this quality were rarely found.

Jiang Qin: "Does Xiao Yan know Lu Qin has this skill?"

Shen Hongda shook his head: "She definitely doesn't. That brat only knows about work and doesn't care about her husband or daughter at all."

"I told her several times before the divorce, but it was no use."

"Look at this, such a good son-in-law is gone, where else can you find such a good man!"

Jiang Qin agreed wholeheartedly: "Indeed. Lu Qin voluntarily quit his job to stay home and take care of Yao Yao for Yao Yao's sake. Yao Yao is so sensible and well-behaved, it's all thanks to Lu Qin raising and teaching her so well."

Shen Hongda sighed: "We've wronged Xiao Lu."

The couple fell silent for a moment.

Shen Hongda suddenly said: "Wife, do you want to eat more Ice Crystal Cake?"

"Of course, I do. I only ate one piece earlier, and I'm still craving it."

Shen Hongda: "I'll have Xiao Yan ask Lu Qin to make a few boxes of Ice Crystal Cake and bring them over."

"I also promised Old Chen two boxes."

Jiang Qin worried: "Now that they're divorced, it might be awkward for Xiao Yan to ask."

"Have her figure it out herself, this is an order!"

With that, Shen Hongda dialed Shen Muyan's phone.

Night Market Street's Internet Celebrity Stall Has No Queue! Female Streamer Collapses!

Changlin Road, University Town, Night Market Street.

A video creator who promoted food and entertainment in Jiang City on Douyin was live-streaming on the Night Market Street, holding a selfie stick.

"Everyone, this lively and bustling street is our South City's renowned University Town Night Market Street."

"For all you foodies who love late-night snacks, this snack street is a must-visit."

"As an authentic local foodie, I highly recommend Sister Pang's Braised Pork Roll at the street entrance. This braised pork roll is fresh, tender, and juicy. It's 12 yuan a portion, and it's very substantial. I order it every time I come."

"However, the only downside is that you have to queue. Come on, let's go take a look..."

The female streamer, whose online name was "Panda Loves Food," arrived at the entrance of Sister Pang's Braised Pork Roll stall.

But she froze.

The netizens in the live-stream comments were puzzled.

"Streamer, didn't you say this braised pork roll requires queuing? Why is there only one customer?"

"Business looks pretty average, it definitely can't be that delicious!"

"Is this braised pork roll really that good?"

"Panda Loves Food" explained with some embarrassment:

"Ahem... everyone, maybe the customers just finished buying and left. But it's okay, no queue is even better, let's just buy one to try..."

"Everyone, while we eat the braised pork roll, let's walk ahead and order some Flaming Squid. I'm telling you, that grilled squid is super delicious, you have to queue for more than ten minutes to get it every time..."

The live-stream camera followed "Panda Loves Food" to a barbecue stall.

In the comments, some netizens posted many question marks.

"Streamer, this barbecue stall also has no queue!"
