Chapter 224 Big Cake

"Hurry up, I need to go and bring Xiao Jingxuan back from town!"

Pei Yuanjun wasn't jealous at all seeing Qi Yunran's flustered preparations to fetch Jingxuan. Instead, he affectionately reminded her, "Wife, don't worry. I've already sent Shi'an to town to buy the things. We'll go pick up the teacher and little Jingxuan for dinner tomorrow!"

Qi Yunran looked at Pei Yuanjun: "Why are you suddenly being so nice to Xiao Jingxuan? What are you plotting?"

Pei Yuanjun: "...My wife, actually I also really like children. I'm just getting used to life with children in advance. After you give birth to my children, I'll take care of them!"

Qi Yunran blushed: "Pei Yuanjun, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Pei Yuanjun looked at Qi Yunran seriously and said, "My wife, I'm serious. We'll have children eventually."

"But I don't want to get married. Men always agree with everything a woman says when they don't have her. But once they have her, they stop treasuring her and start to dislike her. They even feel guilty for breathing."

"No, I would never do that! If my wife doesn't believe me, I can spend my whole life proving my sincerity. I just hope my wife will give me a chance."

Qi Yunran's gaze fell into Pei Yuanjun's affectionate eyes, and she almost lost herself in them.

Suddenly, the name "Qi Yunran" popped into his mind, and he immediately felt uncomfortable: "Shouldn't I be begging you to let me go and give me a chance so I won't regret it?"

Pei Yuanjun laughed instead of getting angry: "My wife, you're overthinking it. The choice has never been in my hands, has it? It's just that I never intended to let you go."

I've loved you for two lifetimes only so that we could stay together in this one. How could I bear to let you leave my side?

A shadow of darkness crossed his eyes. "My wife, please don't blame me. I finally found you safe and sound. How could I let you leave, worrying about you and fearing you would be hurt by someone else again?"

I can only feel at ease if I keep it under my watchful eye at all times.

He will not let any of those hiding in the shadows escape.

But my wife, I don't want to miss you even more.

The next day, Qi Yunran got up very early. She was making a cake and whipping egg whites. Pei Yuanjun saw this and came over to help.

"My wife, let me help you. What do you need me to do?"

Qi Yunran simply handed what she was holding to Pei Yuanjun and told him to stir it vigorously in one direction.

Okay, she'll talk to him.

Qi Yunran mixed flour into the egg yolks, then added honey and milk.

She had Pei Yuanjun's men retrieve it for her in town.

Since there was no lemon juice, Qi Yunran added a small amount of ginger juice to remove the fishy smell.

Finally, mix well and add the whipped egg whites from Pei Yuanjun, then sprinkle chopped dried plums on top.

Steam it in a pot until cooked, and the first batch of cakes is ready.

Qi Yunran cut off a piece and tasted it; it was quite good. She then made some cream and put it on top, added chopped fruit, and decorated it into pretty flower shapes. A fruit cream cake was then ready.

Qi Yunran nodded in satisfaction. Pei Yuanjun looked at it intently and suddenly felt a little jealous. He wondered if his wife would put so much effort into preparing this for him on his birthday. He couldn't help but look forward to it.

After making the large cake, Qi Yunran covered it with something and started cooking.

Today is the first day back to work for everyone, and the imperial grain has already been distributed. Pei Yuanjun has already brought some back from the town and stored it at home.

Since everyone eats at the Pei family's house for all three meals, the remaining food wasn't distributed to everyone. It will be distributed after the house is repaired.
