Potato Pancake Tower (I)
The faint fragrance, although not as elegant as ordinary roses, had an understated fame, a chic wanton bloom
These 9 pieces of chocolate each had a very chic appearance, so much so it made it such a pity to take a bite
Lin Ke Song lowered her head, and took a whiff of the chocolate fragrance, thick and rich, with the smell of nuts, and the s could constantly ier,them
Don't knohether he had tasted the flavours of these chocolates
Carrying the chocolates, Lin Ke song couldn't wait to call Jiang Qian Fan on his handphone
When the clear voice of the other party's sounded, Lin Ke Song was suddenly regretting
What if the chocolates weren't ht it for her from some place……
The handwriting on the delivery note wasn't Jiang Qian Fan's ah…… rubbish, his eyes couldn't see, how could he have filled in the form!
Even though she didn't say a word, Jiang Qian Fan on the other end never said a word
To not be straight forward is really unlike Lin Ke Song's style of things
”Mr Jiang, I've received the chocolates And the cli roses Thank you”
”No need, the rose was cut by Mayer”
”…… still, thank you”
Lin Ke Song was a little disappointed, so this present was from Mayer This kind of exquisiteness, with a dash of ro Qian Fan's style of things
”Your voice sounds a little low”
”It's nothing” Lin Ke Song was about to find an excuse, but she re Qian Fan No matter if he was in front of her or not
”I didn’t know your tastes because it see as it's delicious food, you'll be able to eat them very happily”
So, the chocolates wereQian Fan!
Right, to gift flowers and what isn't Jiang Qian Fan's style, but chocolates……
”Thank you”
”Remember, all foods have an expiry date”
Lin KE Song laughed Jiang Qian Fan really understands her, knew that she probably couldn't bear to bite open all these very exquisite chocolates
Jiang Qian Fan ended the call
”would you choke of you said a couple more sentences?”
Lin Ke Song picked up the piece of chocolate that was in the centre of the box, and put it in her mouth
The bitterness of the cocoa and the sweetness of the sugar was just right, there wasn't any sweetness overload, the s, and there was a trace of spiciness, like a crackling fire, brushi+ng past the tip of her tongue
This was the first ti had tasted chocolate that carried a spiciness, but this kind of spiciness gave the original balance of flavours a little surprise
This didn't only co
He never told her how to do things, but let her think about what needed to be done
At this ti the news to him
Jiang Qian Fan sat quietly on the sofa, right hand holding a cup of perfectly hot tea
”Right, Sir, Ti in the competition Isn't this considered fraud, he has learned froenius”
”During the auditions, what did the competition committee request of the participants?”
”To not be professionals”
”In that case, he actually hasn't violated the competition rules He indeed isn't a professional chef”
”this is only a loophole that Mrs Quentin got She must've heard about this news from somewhere, that the auditions will choose the worst dish It is i to win if she were to face Ti in and out of a kitchen since he was 6”
”I've never asked for Ke Song to win” Jiang Qian Fan calmly replied
”Sir, it's obvious that Mrs Quentin wants to use this opportunity to gain fame”
”I've never thought to use Ke Song to gain fame”
Mayer exasperatedly gushed: ”Sir, Mrs Quentin obviously doesn't think that way I even suspect, that Iris had already known about her mother's intentions, but didn't tell you”
”This isn't e need to worry Mayer, anyone ants to cliic than normal people when they fall So there's no need to be anxious Mayer, wait patiently, and you will definitely see the results you want to see”
Mayer gaped, and in the end, didn't say anything
At this time, Nina walked in, ”Sir, Ms Lin has left, does this mean her room can be cleared up?”
”Just clean it ba”
”I'll bring those books back to your study room”
”Don't bother about those books leave them be at the places she left them”
Nina looked doubtingly at Mayer, Mayer nodded back at her
”If you care about Ke Song, you can actually go to the venue to watch her compete”
”I will go, but not now”
”Sir?”
”wait till she feels that my presence is motivation, and not pressure”
”Alright ba There's another thing, Song's fa Yi Fan has come to New York, it looks like he really wants to ith the Jiang's”
”What does he want to do?”
”Maybe he wants to participate in your New York Street Food Project OrCo can settle in one of the new hotels that the Song family invested in”
”can't even guarantee profitability for the former, the latter is more in his interest”
”Yes, he can borrow your narade his new hotel”
”His motive is too obvious, a world of difference from his brother”
Mayer laughed
Lin Ke Song searched for a very long time, but there was no vase at her uncle's, she could only lass cup, fill it ater, and place the cli it back to her room
Song Yi Ran was still napping, Lin Ke Song didn't disturb hih her note book
Everything was quiet, like she'd returned to the library during her university days

”Your big bro's here to see you?” Lin Ke Song asked tilting her head
”'See ” He went to Lin Ke Song, and flicked her forehead with his finger, ”good luck for the next round of competition”
”Luck isn't enough, you need to have the ability” Lin Ke Song raised her head in answer
Song Yi Ran laughed, his gaze falling on the glass cup at the edge of the table when he was leaving
That pure white rose was blooantly in front of his eyes
Suddenly, his gaze went dark
”Hey, wanna eat dinner tonight? I'
