Chapter 154 - Im Here to Kidnap You (1/2)

On Friday morning, Li Qin Yao went to her cafe after a short meeting with her employees at the QL B City Branch. When she walked in into the kitchen, Li Qin Yao was greeted by the smell of burned sugar and both Yin Mei Xuan and Auntie Yu were staring at an object on the counter.

”What happened?” Li Qin Yao stared at that blackened object that looked like... a large misshaped ring?

Yin Mei Xuan turned around with an expression as if she was about to cry. ”I turned around briefly and suddenly everything has turned black, I have to use hot water to get the hardened sugar out of the pot.”

”This is her attempt to make the spun sugar for the croquembouche,” Auntie Yu tried to explain.

Li Qin Yao watched that hardened sugar and felt her mouth twitched. Then she turned to her friend and said, ”I thought you were trying to make sculptured sugar.”

Yin Mei Xuan pouted.

”Alright. Alright. Just clean up that thing and do it again,” Li Qin Yao held her laugh. ”And turn on the ventilators or the customers might change their mind once they entered.”

After catching up with Yin Mei Xuan, Li Qin Yao then looked for Qing Kong and the two of them discussed a little bit about the cafe's sales and performance. Only then did she walked into her small office.

Recently, she has been staying at the other office and was getting used to the spacious room.

Looking at the cramped office and that pile of documents Li Qin Yao heaved a sigh. She then started to organize the documents on the table and paused as she saw a thick looking envelope addressed to her.

Li Qin Yao picked up the letter and tore up the envelope. Her brow rose as she noticed that it was a wedding invitation card from her cousin, Li Ming Han which will be held earlier next month.

It seemed that she should arrange a trip back to Capital City. After all, Li Ming Han has been a great help to her recently. It wouldn't be right if she did not attend this cousin's wedding.

Anyway, she can meet her Grandfather and discuss with him their project.

Li Qin Yao slid the invitation card into her knapsack and took out her phone to mark the date and sent a quick text message to Li Ming Han to informed that she had received his card.

Then, she sat on the chair and started to browse through the documents in her table. When she was done, it was almost lunch hour.

Li Qin Yao went to the kitchen and watched as the other was doing their final mise-en-place before the customer from lunch hour would come in. She made some sliced chicken sandwiches for herself and took out her phone to read some e-mails. Just then, one of her staff walked in and informed her that someone was looking for her.

When Li Qin Yao walked out, Zhang Yu Ying waved her hand happily at her. ”Yu Ying, what are you doing here?”

”Sister-in-law, are you busy?”

”Not really,” Li Qin Yao answered. Anyway, she had finished looking at the important documents in her office. She thought that she was going to head back home and rest before Zhang Yu Han come over to pick her up before he took her to meet his friends.

”That's great,” Zhang Yu Ying's smile widened. ”Sister-in-law, I'm here to kidnap you.”

Li Qin Yao laughed. ”Where are you taking me?”

”How do you feel about going to a spa? It has been a long time since I've been to one,” Zhang Yu Ying said. ”I always wanted to try this health club, but I got no one to accompany me.”

Thinking that she had once promised to hang out with Zhang Yu Ying previously, Li Qin Yao immediately agreed.

”Sister-in-law, you're the best!” Zhang Yu Ying said and sigh.
