Episode 73: Undercurrents Surge

  Long and slender fingers with distinct joints slowly put the cup back, Ye Xiuzhen's thin lips curled up, and a hint of provocation flashed in his black eyes.

  Nie Shao Tang glanced at the empty cup, then turned to look at Yu Luo. He was shocked to find that on her face, there was no unnatural expression as he had expected, but rather a quiet calmness, which made him frown subconsciously.

  The atmosphere is somewhat subtle.

  Fortunately, at this time, Uncle Li walked out of the kitchen.

  "Master, miss, dinner is ready."

  Mr. Li's words broke the subtle atmosphere between the three, and Yu Luo seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, smiling at Ye Xiuchen and Nie Shaotang.

  "Come and have dinner quickly, there's a surprise! I'll go help in the kitchen."

  Nie Shaotang's face also returned to normal, and he affectionately held onto Yu Luo's hand, speaking softly.

  "I'll go with you."

  "It's okay, you go sit down with my brother and get ready for dinner."

  Yu Lu jumped into the kitchen.

  Ye Xiu looked at Nie Zhan deeply and said: "Mr. Nie, please."

  The waiters filed in, holding an assortment of exquisite dishes. Tonight's dinner was particularly sumptuous, with fresh scallops, tender fish meat, fragrant green beans and small pork ribs, as well as grilled meats with a foreign flavor, and rich vegetable soup.

  Two equally excellent men sat face-to-face at the red wood dining table, while young maids looked down shyly with their faces already flushed.

  Yu Luo mysteriously emerged from the kitchen, and two men simultaneously turned their heads, with a hint of expectation in both pairs of eyes.

  She held a tray in her hand, and the things on the tray were covered by a crystal plate.

  "What's Luo Luo done, so mysterious?"

  His eyebrows slightly raised, but his eyes were filled with a smile, and his gaze fell intently on the girl's crimson cheeks.

  "My brother will know soon."

  Yu Luo carefully placed the tray in the middle of the dining table and clapped her small hands happily.

  "Can you guess what this is?"

  "Is this dish made by Luo Luo?"

  Ye Xiu gave an answer as if he had thought it over carefully, Yu Luo hastily shook his head and looked at Nie Shao Tang.

  "It's up to you to guess."

  "As long as it's something you've done, I'll like it."

  Ye Xiuzhen's face stiffened, Yu Luo's face turned red, and Li Shu laughed out loud on the side, urging them gently.

  "Miss, if you don't unwrap it soon, it's going to melt away."

  Yu Luo nodded, her face tense, the two men gave her encouraging eyes, she took a deep breath, stretched out her slender fingers to gently lift the crystal plate cover.

  Suddenly, a strong buttery aroma wafted over, and before my eyes was a small cake with a bright green color, shaped like an animal, seemingly a pig, yet also seemingly a dog.

  "Is this a dog?"

  Is it a pig?

  Two men spoke at the same time. Li Shu covered his mouth and laughed with a tilted head, not giving face. Yu Luo was angry and puffed out her cheeks.

  "It's a rabbit!"

  Looking at the two men's stunned expressions, Yu Luo was deeply hurt. This was a cake she had spent several days making, and it had taken her countless failures to finally get it right.
