Chapter 15 - Stay A While Longer (1/2)

Li Qin Yao clipped her phone between her ears and shoulder as her hands as she adjusted the container of durian cheesecake in her hand. She balanced the container in her left hand and grabbed her phone on her right side.

”There are a lot of cafes that provide catering in Y City, why would he employ someone from B City?” Han Yue Xiu asked from the other side of the phone.

She clicked her tongue before she handed the container in her hand to Qing Kong. ”Are you looking down at my cafe? I'm telling you that this person likes food from my cafe. That's why he decided to choose us.”

Han Yue Xiu laughed. ”I'm not looking down on you, Yao Yao. I just thought it's strange since Y City and B City isn't exactly that near.”

”It's alright. It's a forty minutes drive.” Li Qin Yao shrugged. She turned to the car and picked up another stack of the container with sandwiches. ”As long as they like my food and paid me money, who cares?”

”You're talking like you're desperately in need of money.” Han Yue Xiu said. She heard laughter on the other line and continued. ”Since your customer lives in Begonia court, I'm sure he's quite wealthy. Who cares if he decided to employ some pastry chef from France, right?”

”Yue Xiu, since I'm in Y City, Let's meet up later when I'm done setting up with everything. You still owe me a meal.”

”Alright,” Han Yue Xiu quickly agreed. ”But will that be okay? What if Chen Hao gets get sulky when he knew that you spent your time with me?”

”We're supposed to go out today, but got canceled last minute. His mother called. He said there's an important matter at home,” Li Qin Yao told her truthfully.

”It sounded like I'm only your second choice,” Han Yue Xiu complained. ”But, how many times had your boyfriend canceled a date because of his mother? Are you sure Chen Hao is not a mummy's boy.”

Han Yue Xiu laughed at her words. ”You're overthinking. His mother called him back since a relative is coming to visit them. Didn't they say that to know how a man will treat his wife, look at the way he treats his mother.”

The two of them chatted for a while longer before they hung up. Li Qin Yao looked at the empty car boot and shut the boot. Then she went to look for the others to start arranging their food before the guests arrived.

While Li Qin Yao focused on arranging the desserts on the crystal's tray, Wei Jun Hao appeared before her with a smile on his face. He rapped his knuckle on the table. Li Qin Yao raised her head and met the man's gaze.
