The little girl who prayed to Buddha

Chapter 252: Desperate to see through
Xiaoxiao was absent-minded while eating. No matter how delicious the food was, it couldn't attract her attention. She was only thinking about what was in the cake box.

All delicacies are nothing compared to cakes!
The way she looked eagerly was really laughable.

But He Jinglian is very principled and will not eat cake unless he is full.

So I endured the whole meal before he mercifully brought the cake to the table.

Both of them are so good-looking that they attracted the attention of a large group of people, who would look back at them from time to time.

Especially her pitiful eyes, which looked like her boyfriend didn't buy her lipstick, made a group of girls love and hate He Jinglian.

It’s too much that he can’t even give the cake to his girlfriend right away when he’s so handsome!

The men watched as things unfolded.

After finally finishing the meal, the cake was served on the table.

Everyone became even more curious.

What kind of cake is worthy of both of them?
Like Xiaoxiao, everyone stared at the cake as He Jinglian slowly opened the lid.

At that moment, my breathing became quiet.

Until the lid was completely opened, revealing the full appearance of the cake, everyone was still as quiet as a chicken, unable to recover from the shock.

Xiaoxiao:? What is this?
He Jinglian proudly lifted the lid, expecting a small expression on her face, but instead saw her indescribable expression, and her heart skipped a beat.

Doesn't she like it?
Following her gaze, He Jinglian's face turned dark, and in panic he took the lid and covered the cake.

His eyes wandered, "Well, this one is broken, I'd better take you to the cake shop to eat it!"

After saying that, he was about to pull her away.

Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, she suppressed her laughter and raised her head, asking firmly, "Brother Lian, did you make this cake yourself?"

"How is that possible? How could I make this thing?" He Jinglian denied it without a second thought. "It must be a defective product made by the merchant. I won't buy from him next time!"

He Jinglian pulled for a long time but failed to move the cake. Xiaoxiao sat back down, opened the lid of the cake, scooped a piece with a spoon and put it in her mouth.

After tasting it, his eyes suddenly lit up. "How is it? Is it delicious?"

He Jinglian had been paying attention to her expression. Seeing that she looked like she had eaten something delicious, his heart suddenly tightened.

Xiaoxiao looked at him without saying anything, but just scooped another spoonful and put it into her mouth.

The people around him also wanted to know the answer like He Jinglian.

But the little one's expression didn't mean that the cake was not tasty, which made them want to try the crumbly and messy cake.

After taking several bites, Xiaoxiao put down the spoon contentedly.

"The cake made by Brother Lian is delicious~"

He Jinglian finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart. Then he realized what she had said and coughed awkwardly.

"I told you I didn't make it. It's the poor quality of that cake shop."

When I said this, I couldn't help but tear up.

No matter what the cake turns out like, as long as the result is good, it’s fine. It’s not worth wasting so many ingredients and almost burning the kitchen.

Faced with his words, Xiaoxiao could only smile and pretend not to know.

Are you kidding? With all her years of experience eating cakes, how could she not tell the difference between those made in a cake shop and those she makes herself?
Until the two left, the other guests were still immersed in the sweet atmosphere between them.

The next day was New Year's Eve, and Xiaoxiao made an appointment with Old Man Qin to go to the Qin family to celebrate the New Year.

I slept until noon.

When I woke up, Qin Mingshan and Lin Zhen were not at home. Qin Yansheng said they went to buy groceries.

"This year is the first time in so many years that you won't be at home for the New Year, so Mom will make extra dishes for you at noon."

Although everyone is reluctant to let Xiaoxiao go, they have not seen their relatives for more than ten years, so they should also be considerate.
