偷窥闺房

Lin Xiaowan and Aunt Wu bought many things in the end.

After putting everything away, Lin Xiaowan was so tired that she no longer wanted to move. When the chef came over to make lunch, she took a few bags of chips and went to the studio.

After lunch, she did not take a nap. Instead, she practiced sketching for a while before she remembered the baking supplies she bought earlier.

In the kitchen.

Lin Xiaowan decided to make a no-baking Oreo cake.

Aunt Wu only knew how to make traditional pastries. This was also her first time trying to make a Western cake. After watching the tutorial video, she also felt that it was very simple. With this, she felt reassured and helped Lin Xiaowan.

Even without experience with Western pastries, Aunt Wu was still experienced after all. She would occasionally give Lin Xiaowan advice and teach the latter how to measure the ingredients.

In the end, the cake turned out quite good in both appearance and taste.

“Is this really your first time?” Aunt Wu asked, slightly surprised.

Lin Xiaowan picked an angle and took a photo, filled with a sense of accomplishment. Then, she began to praise herself. “Don’t you think I’m quite talented?”

“Indeed, you’re very talented, Miss Lin,” Aunt Wu said.

The mold Lin Xiaowan bought was not big so the cake was about five inches in size.

After Lin Xiaowan ate half of it, Aunt Wu put it in the refrigerator and said, “Let’s eat it tomorrow. If you eat too much, you won’t be able to eat dinner.”

In the evening.

Lin Xiaowan took a photo and sent it to Huo Zheng, but the latter was probably busy so he did not reply. Lin Xiaowan said to Aunt Wu, “Take the cake out for Huo Zheng to try after dinner.”

However, Lin Xiaowan was very excited, and in the end, she brought the cake out herself.

“I’ll bring it out first. He can have a taste when he comes back.”

Huo Zheng only saw Lin Xiaowan’s message when he got off work. After replying to her, he did not receive a reply from her. When he got home, he saw half a cake on the dining table. There was even a small conspicuous bite at the corner. He was a little puzzled. He saw Aunt Wu and the chef cooking in the kitchen, but he did not see Lin Xiaowan. He thought that she must be holed up in the studio or the storage room.

“Mr. Huo, you’re back,” Aunt Wu greeted Huo Zheng.

Huo Zheng nodded and headed upstairs.

At the same time, Aunt Wu called out, “Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo!”

Huo Zheng turned around and looked at Aunt Wu expressionlessly, indicating for her to speak.

Aunt Wu hurried over, bringing the cake over on a porcelain plate with a fork lying at the side. The little fork still had remnants and Oreos and cream cheese on it. She said, “Miss Lin made this cake today. She ate half of it and left the other half for you. She was so excited so she brought it out earlier. However, after a while, she took a bite. In the end, this is all that’s left. If you came back a little later, Miss Lin would’ve eaten this last bite. Mr. Huo, hurry up and try it.”

Huo Zheng did not expect Lin Xiaowan to make the cake herself. When she sent him the photo, she did not say much. He thought that she was just telling him that she had cake today.

Huo Zheng nodded before he asked, “Is she upstairs?”

“She’s in the studio trying to draw, but she’s very distracted. It’s as though her soul has been seduced by the cake. She’d come down every few minutes,” Aunt Wu replied.

Huo Zheng could not help but smile. Then, he used the fork that Lin Xiaowan used and ate the last bite of the cake. As soon as the cake entered his mouth, he paused briefly. However, his expression did not change at all as he put the small fork back on the plate. It was a little too sweet for him. It seemed like Lin Xiaowan had used quite a bit of sugar.

However, he knew that Lin Xiaowan had a sweet tooth. Hence, this amount of sugar was just nice for her.

After that, Huo Zheng went to look for her at the studio..
