"Okay, I know." Ye Wan walked to the living room and sat down. From here, she could see into the kitchen. She picked up a bag of potato chips, tore it open, and ate them while watching Gu Yun Ting knead flour.
At that moment, she truly believed he could make a cake.
It felt unreal, too unreal.
Ye Wan turned her head to look at the doorway. Long strings of wind chimes hung there, dancing in the breeze. Everything was so beautiful.
But Ye Wan felt scared. It was all too beautiful, more beautiful than anything she had ever experienced in her life.
The more beautiful things were, the more afraid she was of losing them.
Someone delivered incredibly fresh strawberries. After washing them, Gu Yun Ting took half out for her to eat.
Ye Wan picked up a large, red strawberry and took a bite. It was exceptionally sweet, a milk strawberry, the best variety.
Gu Yun Ting returned to making the cake. Ye Wan leaned on the back of the sofa, watching him take out the cake base and spread it with whipped cream. It was true that attractive people made everything they did a pleasure to watch. Even Gu Yun Ting looked appealing while spreading cream.
Soon, an eight-inch cream strawberry cake was presented to Ye Wan. Slightly yellowish cream was adorned with several large strawberries. The man's cake-making skills were excellent!
Ye Wan looked at him with surprise. Without even picking up a spoon, she dipped a finger into the cream and tasted it. The sweet, soft, and glutinous flavor spread through her mouth, truly sweetening her heart.
"How does it taste?" Gu Yun Ting asked, sitting down beside her. The usually confident man was surprisingly a little nervous now.
"Gu Yun Ting, are you even real? How can a real person be good at everything?" Ye Wan was truly amazed. This cake was undoubtedly the best she had ever tasted.
"Hehe, I'm glad you like it." Gu Yun Ting chuckled with joy after hearing her praise.
Ye Wan ate half the cake in one go. In the end, Gu Yun Ting, fearing she would be too full, insisted they save the other half for later.
Ye Wan reluctantly put down her fork.
A moment later, Ye Wan felt bloated. She had indeed eaten too much.
Ye Wan sighed. She really needed to break this habit of overeating whenever she found something delicious. It might be related to her childhood abuse. She remembered one time Ye Wen Qing locked her at home for three days without leaving any food. She survived by eating plants from a pot on the balcony.
Ye Wan's complexion turned a little pale. Gu Yun Ting became extremely anxious and immediately prepared to call Jin Lan. Jin Lan was also worried. After inquiring about Ye Wan's condition, he felt relieved and said, "Just take her out for a walk for half an hour, and she'll be fine."
He was also hesitant to appear before Gu Yun Ting and Ye Wan now. Seeing Gu Yun Ting would surely make him feel sad, and he was worried Ye Wan might notice something amiss.
Fortunately, it wasn't a serious issue, just overeating. A walk would help with digestion. If that didn't work, he could still go over later.
Ye Wan felt embarrassed. She changed into a pair of comfortable sneakers and was taken out by Gu Yun Ting to walk off her meal.
"There's a market ahead. Would you like to go for a stroll?" Gu Yun Ting asked.
Ye Wan had assumed they would be taking another walk by the sea. Hearing about a market, she immediately nodded with excitement.
Gu Yun Ting walked to the nearby garage and drove out a small convertible. Ye Wan blinked her eyes and asked, "Are you going to drive this to take me there?"
