For six years of marriage, she had never called Lu Qin "husband."

Now that they were divorced, it was even less likely.

"Are there any more Ice Crystal Cakes?"

"None left."

"Call Lu Qin and have him make more!"

"I won't."

Fang Ya grew anxious and started to cajole Shen Muyan into calling Lu Qin.

The latter remained unmoved, started working, and ignored Fang Ya.

Fang Ya was furious. She didn't have Lu Qin's number, and Shen Muyan wouldn't give it to her.

Fang Ya wanted to cut ties with this heartless woman.

At the villa.

Jiang Qin had taken Lu Xiyao to the park.

Shen Hongda had already received the four boxes of Ice Crystal Cakes sent by Shen Muyan.

Meanwhile, Chen Dahai was waiting in the living room.

"Alright, Old Shen, you really didn't fool me."

Shen Hongda was a bit smug. "What did you expect? I always keep my word."

If Lu Qin and Shen Muyan hadn't divorced, he would have brought up Lu Qin to show off to Chen Dahai.

Look, this is my son-in-law, he's the one who makes Ice Crystal Cakes.

What a shame...

"Thank you, I'll take these Ice Crystal Cakes. Don't worry about that other matter, I'll handle it for you, and I'll keep my word too."

Chen Dahai reached for the Ice Crystal Cakes. He naturally stacked the four boxes together, intending to take them all.

Shen Hongda's eyes widened.

"Old Chen, you can only take two boxes. Why are you taking them all? Aren't you ashamed?"

Shen Hongda quickly walked over and snatched back two boxes.

He couldn't bear to give all the Ice Crystal Cakes to Chen Dahai. His daughter had finally managed to get them from Lu Qin.

He could ask once, but asking a second time would be much harder.

"Old Shen, why are you so stingy? Where did you get these Ice Crystal Cakes? Why don't you tell me?"

Chen Dahai wasn't ignorant. Ordinary people couldn't make these Ice Crystal Cakes. He guessed Shen Hongda had pulled some strings to get them.

In any case, they weren't easy to buy.

"It's no use telling you, you won't be able to get them."

Shen Hongda said with a hint of mystery.

After Chen Dahai left, Jiang Qin returned with Lu Xiyao.

The little one's face lit up with excitement when she saw the two boxes of Ice Crystal Cakes on the table.

"Grandpa, are these Ice Crystal Cakes?"

"Did my Papa come?"

Shen Hongda picked Lu Xiyao up and kissed her, smiling.

"Your Papa didn't come, but his Ice Crystal Cakes were delivered."

"That's great! Grandpa, Grandma, let's eat Ice Crystal Cakes together."

Lu Xiyao opened the plastic boxes and shared the Ice Crystal Cakes with Shen Hongda and Jiang Qin.

The three of them happily ate the Ice Crystal Cakes and chatted.

From Lu Xiyao, Shen Hongda and Jiang Qin learned that Lu Qin actually sold these Ice Crystal Cakes at a stall.

Shen Hongda and Jiang Qin were quite surprised.

"What? Is it that easy to make these Ice Crystal Cakes?"

Shen Hongda thought that since the Ice Crystal Cakes were so delicious, the production process must be very complex and difficult.

Since Lu Qin sold them at a stall, the quantity must have been substantial.

Lu Xiyao shook her head. "I don't know. I didn't see Papa making the Ice Crystal Cakes; I was still asleep then."

"Papa worked very hard and woke up early to make them."

As she spoke, Lu Xiyao felt a pang of sympathy for Lu Qin for a few seconds, then took a bite of an Ice Crystal Cake.

"So good~! Soft and sweet~!"

Shen Hongda sighed in his heart and asked again:

"Yao Yao, this Ice Crystal Cake is so delicious, your dad's stall business must be doing really well, right?"

Lu Xiyao nodded: "It's doing great~! Lots and lots of older brothers and sisters, grandpas and grandmas line up to buy things my Papa makes!"

Shen Hongda felt a little more at ease after hearing this.

The Ice Crystal Cake would definitely sell well.

. Delicious Twice-Cooked Pork! Huaguoshan Park Stall!

Ouri Hotel.

President's Office.

Fang Ya sat sideways on Shen Muyan's desk with half her butt.

"Shen Muyan, where is Lu Qin setting up his stall?"

"I don't know."

"You don't even ask? I want to eat Ice Crystal Cake!"

"If you want to ask, ask yourself."

Shen Muyan said as she looked down at the documents.

Fang Ya clenched her fist, about to lash out.

Actually, Shen Muyan also wanted to eat Lu Qin's Ice Crystal Cake.

But she was too embarrassed to ask Lu Qin again.

Lu Qin left Ouri Hotel, rode his three-wheeled vehicle, and went to the market.

It was past the peak shopping hour, so the market wasn't crowded.

Lu Qin found a pork stall and checked the color of the pork. It was fresh pork slaughtered that day.

Fresh pork is bright red or dark red, while chilled meat is a more tender pink.

"Boss, how much for your pork per jin?"

"19.5 yuan per jin, but if you buy more than three jin, I'll give you a better price, 19 yuan."

Lu Qin smiled, guessing the stall owner quoted him a high price because he looked like a young man.

In fact, Lu Qin knew the market prices better than the old folks who shopped at the market every day.

"Too expensive, I don't want it, I'll look at another stall."

Lu Qin turned to leave.

"19.5 yuan is still expensive? It's already very cheap."

"I'll buy from the stall next door."

"Hey, hey, hey... wait a minute, kid, how many jin do you want?"

Seeing Lu Qin about to go next door, the stall owner quickly called out to him.

"Twenty jin."

The stall owner was stunned and quickly put on a smile.

"Come, come, handsome, if you want twenty jin, I'll sell it to you for 18.5 yuan per jin. That's already the lowest price."

"16.8 yuan per jin. If you don't sell it, I'll buy it next door."

Currently, the market price for ordinary pork was 17 yuan per jin. Lu Qin was buying twenty jin and haggled down by two mao, which was within a reasonable range.

If he encountered a nagging, thrifty old woman, she would definitely pull up a stool and haggle for half an hour, insisting on buying it for 16.5 yuan.

The stall owner then realized that Lu Qin wasn't a novice and his tone was not to be questioned, so he said:
