Sweet Heart in Honeyed Desire - C44
Bai Xiao's words caused Tang Mi to freeze in place. On one hand, it was because she was surprised by her actions, and on the other, it was because she was so straightforward to her.
She looked at her in silence for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Don't you like Yu Yi?"
Bai Xiao laughed and shrugged. "It's useless that only I like him. I don't want to marry a man who doesn't love me."
Tang Mi's eyes twinkled. Although Bai Xiao's words were true, only a few could be so free and at ease.
She pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have you never thought that feelings can be cultivated?"
"I've known Yu Yi quite some time. If he could have liked me, he would have done so a long time ago."
Bai Xiao laughed with self-mockery. "And you know Yu Yi than I do that there's something special about him."
Tang Mi was surprised. Did Bai Xiao know about Yu Yi's dual personality?
"I don't know the exact reason, but I do vaguely know that he's been looking at psychiatrists," Bai Xiao replied.
She was silent for a moment, then added, "Yu Yi is indifferent to everything, as if he has no feelings at all. I guess it has something to do with this."
She looked at Tang Mi and said, "Even an ordinary person might not be able to meet someone they wholeheartedly love in their entire life, not mention to Yu Yi."
"I've been wondering what else in the world would interest him."
"I am glad that he met you, and that he can have the same joy and sadness as any ordinary man, so I will not destroy this hard-won happiness. "
Tang Mi fell silent for a long time after hearing her words, before she dryly said, "It's really stressful for me to hear you said this."
Bai Xiao burst out in laughter. "But don't be happy too early. I'm fine, but my parents will definitely be unhappy."
Tang Mi was somewhat worried. "Then what should we do?"
"Will it affect your cooperation with Yu's?"
Bai Xiao blinked. "My brother is in charge of the Yu's's purchases. He's probably going to raise the price."
Tang Mi's brows were knitted together, and Bai Xiao was amused by her troubled expression. "I'm joking with you. Business is business, and my brother knows his place."
"Besides, Yu's recently announced plans for a Holy Land for Dessert. Many suppliers want to work with them. My brother won't give up on this piece of fat."
Although Yu Yi was likened to fat, Tang Mi was still more at ease.
Bai Xiao handed her the chocolate chip and smiled at her. "Can we start making chocolate now?"
"Good, all right."
Tang Mi awkwardly heated the chocolate in the basin. After melting, she tested the temperature. "Let's start from warming it with marble."
Bai Xiao watched her carefully as she adjusted the temperature. She only dipped a little bit of chocolate on the back of her hand before confirming the temperature of the chocolate. "Do you not need a thermometer?"
"You can feel it on the back of your hand when you're skilled. At 28 degrees Celsius, that's enough."
Bai Xiao raised her eyebrows and nodded. Then, she began to adjust the temperature of the chocolate.
"Your panda chocolate model is very cute. You can directly make mold chocolate, and the rest of the chocolate liquid can also be used to make jam sandwich chocolate."
Tang Mi stirred the chocolate that was added to the jam and put it into her pastry bag. "Squeeze it into a cool ball and rub it with your hands to make it into truffle!"
"Won't the temperature of the hand melt the chocolate?" Bai Xiao asked.
"Yes, it will. That's why I need to soak my hands in ice-cold water first."
Bai Xiao: "…"
A dessert chef was really a masochist.
The two of them worked hard for over two hours before finally producing three chocolate models.
Bai Xiao tasted a piece of good. Tang Mi packed her chocolates in a box and took them all away.
Yu Yi knew she was going to take her day off and had made an early appointment for lunch.
Tang Mi was sent over by the driver of the Bai family. When she arrived, Yu Yi was waiting for her outside.
The driver of the Bai Family recognized Yu Yi. He simply greeted him courteously before turning his car around.
As Yu Yi saw him drive off, he asked Tang Mi, "You went to make cake at Bai Xiao's house?"
"Yeah, she doesn't dislike me!"
Tang Mi jumped up the steps, laughing as she held onto Yu Yi's hand. "She said she won't marry you, and you'd better off that way."
Yu Yi looked down at her and pulled her into the dining room with a chuckle.
Tang Mi sat down with her. After ordering some dishes, she looked at him and asked, "Why were you standing outside to wait for me?"
Yu Yi said, "Isn't it good to see you earlier?"
Tang Mi's vanity was greatly satisfied. She expanded her smile and took out the chocolates that were in her bag. "These were made at Bai Xiao's house this morning. It's a gift for you."
Yu Yi opened the box which contained three chocolates, a panda, a truffle and a chocolate bar.
"This is a gift for Qixi Festival?"
"Yes."
Tang Mi nodded.
Yu Yi picked up a truffle and took a bite. After the slightly bitter cocoa powder melted, it actually seeped out a hint of sweetness. "You added strawberry jam?"
Tang Mi gave him a big thumbs up. " Chief Yu's tongue is really good. Don't you feel very surprised?"
Yu Yi ate the truffle and pursed her lips. "Do you remember when you came to the interview, you also brought three different flavors of chocolates?"
"Yes."
"At that time, I thought eating anything on Earth wasn't worth the surprise, but now I'm curious as to what the other two taste like."
Tang Mi opened her eyes wide and looked at him regretfully. "It's also the taste of Earth. It might not be enough to satisfy you."
Yu Yi smiled, and take another one, bit it. "Vanilla milk, with some baked almonds."
He picked up the panda chocolate and looked at it. "This chocolate is very cute. I don't have the heart to bite it."
Tang Mi was amused by his serious and confused expression. "Is it really good for you, an overbearing CEO, to be so cute?"
Yu Yi said, "An overbearing CEO doesn't eat such cute chocolates."
"Then I'll eat."
Tang Mi took the chocolate from his hand and ate the panda in one bite. "White and dark chocolate. There's chopped raisins in it."
Then the waiter came to serve the meal. Yu Yi did not eat the chocolate anymore, he closed the box and put it away. "The strawberry jam in the truffle tastes great. Did you make it yourself?"
Tang Mi proudly replied, "That's right. Earlier, Bai Xiao gave me two pounds of strawberries. I made two jars of strawberry jam and gave her one bottle. I only have a small half of my bottle left."
Yu Yi nodded without saying anything. Tang Mi picked up her knife and fork and looked at him, asking, "Do you want it too?"
"Then I'll give the rest of mine to you. Don't mind it, those who can eat strawberries are really tycoons!"
Yu Yi smiled and said, "I was actually a tycoon."
All right.
Tang Mi pursed her lips.
Yu Yi cut a piece of steak into his mouth, looked at her and said, "Actually, I still have one thing to tell you."
"What?"
Tang Mi subconsciously tensed up. Something Yu Yi was serious about telling her definitely wasn't anything good.
"My parents and some uncles are going to a party on the Day of Qixi Festival. I'm going to introduce you to them."
Tang Mi's knife and fork almost fell onto the table with a clatter.
Yu Yi saw her face paled immediately. He frowned and said, "Don't be afraid. If you don't want to go, I can find another opportunity to introduce you later."
Tang Mi replied, "I'm not afraid …"
"Well, I'm just afraid. "
She looked at Yu Yi with watery eyes.
Yu Yi smiled. He really wanted to rub her head: "There's nothing to be afraid of, they are just normal human beings, they don't have three heads and six arms, and I will keep you by my side."
Tang Mi thought, the ugly daughter-in-law needed to see the parents-in-law anyway, she can't outrun fate, then said: "I'll go!"
"I can support the heavens for myself!"
