Xuxu was dragged by Yishan into the pastry shop . The storekeeper was beaming on her feet and came to greet them . "Miss Lu . "
Lu Yishan instructed her, "Give my third sister-in-law an apron . Also, prepare a set of ingredients and the necessary equipment for her . "
Xuxu could barely utter a word .
Although her heart was already stirred by Lu Yishan's words . She was itching to give it a try .
"Chocolates represent overflowing and passionate love…"
"Ah Sheng, will you be able to understand?"
Xuxu was a fast learner, and she could pick up things easily . The storekeeper briefed her about the steps, and she managed to succeed at her first attempt .
She chose an ordinary mold in the shape of a heart .

She was very conscientious during every step of the chocolate-making process .
"Third sister-in-law, are you done? I'm going to put mine in the fridge . "
Lu Yishan peeked over Xuxu's shoulders and this made Xuxu slightly tremble in shock . She hastily covered the chocolates in the mold and glanced at Lu Yishan . "I'll be done in a minute!"
"Ha! Seems like you're being secretive . " Lu Yishan turned her head away . "I'll choose a box . "
After Lu Yishan was gone . Xuxu placed her chocolate carefully inside the fridge .
She went to the storekeeper and asked, "How long will it take?"
The storekeeper replied, "Five to six hours . "
"That long?" Xuxu frowned and deliberated for a moment . "I'll drop by tomorrow then . "
At least she wouldn't need to hide the chocolate at home and furthermore, this shop was near the hotel .

"Third sister-in-law come and choose a box . " Lu Yishan stood at the counter and waved at Xuxu eagerly .
Xuxu strode towards her and scanned the designs of the boxes . Then she smiled at Lu Yishan, "I think I'll skip choosing one today . "
…
"Aunt Zhang, where are the scissors?"
Xuxu asked Aunt Zhang who was watching TV .
"I'll get them for you . " Aunt Zhang rose and went to the kitchen . She found a pair and passed it to Xuxu . "Why do you need the scissors? It's already late . "
"I need to do something . " Xuxu gave an enigmatic smile and took the scissors from her . Then she ascended the stairs with quickened footsteps .
Yan Rusheng heard movements from the study, and he peeked his head out . He was just in time to see Xuxu closing her bedroom door .
He furrowed his eyebrows and decided to leave his study . He paced to and forth outside Xuxu's room .
Why did she return to her room immediately after she had come home?
He went back to the study and glanced at his phone . There weren't any missed calls or unread texts from her .
He gripped his cell phone, feeling frustrated . He had spent so much effort on her, and she didn't even bother!
"Wen Xuxu, you're dead!"
…
The man stood in the center of the living room, in a formal suit . He stuffed his hands in his pockets, and he looked dapper and dashing .
His features were exquisite . He looked elegant and well-groomed .
His head was slightly bowed as Xuxu gazed at him from the second floor . She unconsciously entered a trance .
Suddenly, the man raised his head . His eyes were deep and piercing, and he gazed back at the woman .
She wore a white V-neck dress which ended at her knees . She draped a bright red coat over her gown and paired it with black leggings .
Her long locks tumbled beautifully past her shoulders . She had applied light makeup .
She appeared rather aloof and distant .
However, she suddenly smiled, and it seemed to dazzle Yan Rusheng in that split second . Surprise flashed past his eyes and he was entranced by her .
When exactly did this woman enter his heart?
Months ago? Or a few years?
No, he had a hunch that it was way longer than that .
