Shen Muyan glanced at the caller ID. It was Fang Ya calling.
She answered.
"My dear President Shen, do you have time tonight? Come with me to try some really delicious Stir-Fried Rice Noodles."
Stir-Fried Rice Noodles?
Shen Muyan wasn't interested in greasy food, so she refused decisively.
"No."
Fang Ya: "Come on, I'm so bored all alone."
Sometimes Fang Ya had too much free time and often asked Shen Muyan to accompany her shopping, for beauty treatments, or exercise.
Shen Muyan mostly declined, as she didn't have that much free time.
Shen Muyan: "Do I look like someone who's that bored?"
Fang Ya: "I'm just worried you're too busy to eat, so I want to take you to some good food!"
Shen Muyan: "I'm already eating."
Fang Ya: "What are you eating?"
Shen Muyan: "Ice Crystal Cake."
Fang Ya: "Ice Crystal Cake? What's that?"
Shen Muyan: "Made by Lu Qin."
Fang Ya: "???"
Fang Ya: "Made by Lu Qin?"
Shen Muyan: "Yes."
Fang Ya: "Is it tasty?"
Shen Muyan: "Not telling you."
Shen Muyan was in a good mood, chatting on the phone while eating her third piece of Ice Crystal Cake.
Fang Ya: "Wait, Shen Muyan! I think I missed something important..."
"When did you and Lu Qin... start hooking up again?"
Hooking up again?
What hooking up?
Shen Muyan almost choked on her Ice Crystal Cake.
That Fang Ya, could her wording be any more ridiculous?
Shen Muyan wasn't the type to ramble or explain things.
But to stop Fang Ya's wild gossip, she briefly explained the situation.
On the other end of the phone, Fang Ya's expression must have been priceless.
But Shen Muyan couldn't see it.
Fang Ya: "Wow! Lu Qin can even speak Italian?"
"Is his Ice Crystal Cake really that good?"
"Even Uncle Shen and Aunt Jiang like it?"
"So Lu Qin is the legendary hidden treasure boy!"
"Shen Muyan! Where did you find the courage to divorce Lu Qin?"
...
Fang Ya chattered nonstop on the phone. Shen Muyan wisely turned the volume down and put the phone aside.
She continued eating the Ice Crystal Cake.
This Ice Crystal Cake was really delicious.
Just this one dessert was enough to surpass all the pastry chefs in her hotel.
Shen Muyan believed that no dessert or pastry made by the hotel's pastry chefs could compare to this Ice Crystal Cake.
She could faintly hear Fang Ya's voice from the phone.
Fang Ya: "Let me try some Ice Crystal Cake."
For the first time, Shen Muyan was stingy and said, "No."
Then she hung up.
Fang Ya got hung up on, no time to complain.
She immediately got into a car and rushed to the hotel at top speed.
Fang Ya burst into Shen Muyan's office in a hurry.
Shen Muyan was already biting into the last piece of Ice Crystal Cake.
"Be gentle."
Fang Ya lunged forward and snatched half the cake from Shen Muyan's mouth.
The Ice Crystal Cake was squished out of shape.
Shen Muyan naturally didn't try to snatch it back.
She was surprised at how fast Fang Ya was—did this woman fly over just for a bite?
Fang Ya stuffed half the Ice Crystal Cake into her mouth. After a few seconds, she burst out exclaiming,
"This is so delicious!"
"Absolutely divine!"
Fang Ya shook Shen Muyan's shoulder.
"Oh my god, Shen Muyan, your husband's Ice Crystal Cake is freaking amazing!"
"So impressive!"
Fang Ya couldn't help but swear.
Husband?
Shen Muyan was stunned. That title felt so strange.
They had been married six years, and she had never called Lu Qin "husband."
Now divorced, even less so.
"Is there any more Ice Crystal Cake?"
"No."
"Call Lu Qin and have him make more!"
"No."
Fang Ya grew desperate and tried every way to persuade Shen Muyan to call Lu Qin.
But Shen Muyan remained unmoved, returning to work and ignoring Fang Ya.
Fang Ya was almost furious. She didn't even have Lu Qin's number, and Shen Muyan refused to give it to her.
Fang Ya wanted to cut ties with this heartless woman.
...
At the villa,
Jiang Qin had taken Lu Xiyao to the park.
Shen Hongda had already received four boxes of Ice Crystal Cake sent by Shen Muyan's people.
In the living room, Chen Dahai was waiting early.
"Alright, Old Shen, you really didn't trick me."
Shen Hongda looked a little proud.
"Of course not. I always keep my word."
If Lu Qin and Shen Muyan hadn't divorced, he would have proudly shown off Lu Qin in front of Chen Dahai, boasting,
"Look, this is my son-in-law; he made this Ice Crystal Cake."
But unfortunately...
"Thanks, I'll take these boxes of Ice Crystal Cake. Don't worry about that matter; I'll take care of it, and I always keep my word."
Chen Dahai reached to take the boxes, naturally stacking all four to take them.
Shen Hongda stared at him and said,
"Old Chen, only take two boxes. How come you're so thick-skinned taking them all?"
He hurried over and snatched two boxes back.
He couldn't bear to give all the Ice Crystal Cake to Chen Dahai—after all, it was so hard for his daughter to get them from Lu Qin.
One time was okay, but asking twice would be difficult.
"Old Shen, why are you so stingy? Where did this Ice Crystal Cake come from? Tell me, won't you?"
Chen Dahai was no stranger to these things. Such Ice Crystal Cake was not something just anyone could make—it was probably something Shen Hongda had pulled strings for.
Anyway, it was impossible to buy easily.
"Telling you won't help; you can't get it."
Shen Hongda spoke mysteriously.
After Chen Dahai left, Jiang Qin brought Lu Xiyao back.
The little one saw the two boxes of Ice Crystal Cake on the table, her face lighting up with excitement.
"Grandpa, is this Ice Crystal Cake?"
"Is my daddy here?"
Shen Hongda picked up Lu Xiyao and kissed her, smiling:
"Your dad didn't come, but he sent Ice Crystal Cake."
"Awesome! Grandpa and Grandma, let's eat Ice Crystal Cake together!"
Lu Xiyao opened the plastic box and shared the cake with Shen Hongda and Jiang Qin.
The three happily ate and chatted.
From Lu Xiyao's words, Shen Hongda and Jiang Qin learned that the Ice Crystal Cake was actually sold by Lu Qin at a street stall.
They were quite surprised.
"Is making this Ice Crystal Cake really that easy?"
Shen Hongda thought that since the Ice Crystal Cake tasted so good, the production process must be complex and difficult.
If Lu Qin was selling at a stall, he must be making quite a lot.
Lu Xiyao shook her head:
"I don't know. I didn't see Daddy make Ice Crystal Cake. I was still asleep then."
"Daddy worked really hard, got up early to make it."
Lu Xiyao felt sorry for Lu Qin for a few seconds, then bit into the Ice Crystal Cake.
"So good~! Soft and sweet~!"
Shen Hongda sighed in his heart, then asked again:
"Yaoyao, since this Ice Crystal Cake is so good, Daddy's stall business must be great, right?"
Lu Xiyao nodded:
"Very good~! Lots and lots of big brothers and sisters, grandpas and grandmas line up to buy what Daddy makes!"
Hearing this, Shen Hongda felt a little relieved.
This Ice Crystal Cake was definitely selling very well.
