Because she wanted to go check out that cake shop in advance, and was thinking she’d be going out to eat with Bai Chenyao later anyway, She figured they might as well go over there.

"A Yao, after we have lunch, let’s go over there and take a look!"

But thinking about how busy Bai Chenyao was, She instantly changed her tune.

"Or after lunch you can just come back here first, I’ll have Zhang Ze take me over!"

Bai Chenyao: "..."

Seeing that Bai Chenyao didn’t say anything, She finally took a closer look at him and realized that, for some inexplicable reason, this guy’s expression had gone all kinds of cold again.

She gave an awkward little laugh, looking at Bai Chenyao’s stern face, suddenly feeling a bit intimidated.

"A Yao?"

Bai Chenyao didn’t respond. He just kept staring at her with that dark, cold expression, like he wanted to see right through her eyes into her heart.

She felt even more uncomfortable, blinked, and quickly leaned in closer to him, forcing herself to ignore his chilly aura as she smiled and asked.

"A Yao, what’s wrong?"

They’d been fine just now, how come he suddenly pulled a face again.

"We’re eating here at noon."

Bai Chenyao spoke coolly, sounding like he wouldn’t take no for an answer.

She couldn’t help being surprised when she heard that.

"A Yao? Didn’t you already have Li Mu book a restaurant?"

Bai Chenyao nodded, still holding her close, but not loosening his grip at all.

"We can just have them pack it up and send it over."

She: "..."

Fine, if they deliver, they deliver. Maybe Bai Chenyao was busier this afternoon and needed to work overtime at lunch!

Seeing She look surprised at first, then very understanding as she nodded and smiled and said okay, Bai Chenyao’s pupils narrowed slightly, and the hand that had been gently playing with her hair withdrew.

"Really want to go out to eat?"

She: "..."

She couldn’t quite figure out what was going on in his head, but from the way he was asking, was he worried she’d be unhappy if they didn’t go out?

She flashed a bright smile, shaking her head with squinty eyes.

"No, no, as long as I’m with you, it’s the same wherever we eat!"

That was the truth!

She’d known from day one that Bai Chenyao was very busy.

And to think that before, he’d been so willful as to accompany her everywhere to play—that was already extremely, extremely rare.

"Really?"

She nodded with a smile, looking into Bai Chenyao’s dark eyes, and added again.

"Truer than gold!"

Bai Chenyao: "..."

"After we finish eating, I’ll go to that cake shop and see if they really let you make it yourself. I want to go practice a bit beforehand."

Bai Chenyao: "..."

And the reason he didn’t want to go out to eat was what again? Wasn’t it exactly because he didn’t want She going to make cakes!

He hadn’t even eaten a cake She made yet, so why should Mr. Mu get to eat it first?

Even if he had eaten it, the cakes She made should only be for him! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Looking at She’s smiling face, Bai Chenyao spoke lightly.

"Stay in the office with me today."

She looked at him in surprise again, not sure what he was up to this time.

"What’s wrong, A Yao? Are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Chenyao narrowed his eyes slightly and didn’t say anything, but his expression and attitude were clearly telling her that this was a decision.

She: "..."

Seeing this kind of completely unreasonable霸道总裁范儿 coming out of Bai Chenyao again, She was a little speechless.

She really didn’t know how to make cakes, and with her grandpa’s big birthday coming up, she had to go to the cake shop and practice first. Otherwise, what she made wouldn’t be presentable at all, and she’d be losing face big time.
