Keeping the promise

Chapter 141: Addicted to Desserts

On the other hand, Zheng Wancheng has been living a rather leisurely life recently.

Recently, Zheng Wancheng has become obsessed with making desserts. Every night when he gets home, he can't wait to go into the kitchen and carefully learn how to make various desserts from Mrs. Zhang.

On this day, Zheng Wancheng was tinkering in the kitchen again. She was wearing an apron and her hair was a little messy, but her face was filled with an excited smile.

Life is too bitter, there must be some sweetness~

Today looks good~

She had just finished making a plate of chocolate cake and brought it out carefully.

"Yun Ting, come and try it~" Zheng Wancheng looked at

Li Yunting was the first to be summoned. He looked at the plate of cake that didn't look particularly good, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, but he still smiled and said, "Wow, wife, this looks good." As he said that, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. As a result, as soon as he took a bite, his face became a little strange. The chocolate seemed too sweet, a little greasy, but he still forced himself to swallow it, then gave a thumbs up and said, "Delicious, very delicious."

Zheng Wancheng looked at him expectantly, "Really?"

At this time, his son Li Yunxuan also ran over. He looked at the cake, took a piece curiously and put it in his mouth, but he spit it out after just chewing it twice, "Oh, Mom, this is too sweet, I feel like my teeth are going to fall out from the sweetness."

Zheng Wancheng was a little frustrated. "Ah, is it so unpalatable?"

Just then, Gu Nancheng walked in, saw this scene, and said with a smile: "Let me try it."

He picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, trying to look like he was enjoying it. "Mm, the taste is very unique and creative."

Zheng Wancheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't comfort me anymore."

Everyone burst out laughing.

Another day, Zheng Wancheng made a batch of egg tarts, and she happily served them to everyone to taste. Li Yunting took a bite, and the egg tart crust was so hard that it almost knocked his teeth. He said with a smile: "Wife, this egg tart crust can be used as a weapon."

Li Yunxuan also took a bite and frowned and said, "Mom, why is this egg tart tasteless?"

Zheng Wancheng said awkwardly: "Oops, I may have forgotten to put sugar in it."

Gu Nancheng laughed so hard that he fell backwards, and said, "Wancheng, your dessert-making skills still have a lot of room for improvement."

Although the desserts made by Zheng Wancheng always have problems, everyone still enjoys it and enjoys this happy and warm time. Zheng Wancheng continues to work hard despite repeated failures, looking forward to one day making delicious desserts that everyone will praise.

But for now they had no choice but to pack up her defective products and ask Mrs. Zhang to make new ones. After everyone finished their desserts, they played in the living room for a while and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Gu Nancheng stayed leisurely at Li Yunting's house as usual, as if this place had become his second home, and everyone was accustomed to his presence.

However, as the day approached, Mr. Gu’s 70th birthday was about to arrive, and Gu Nancheng knew that he had to go back.

In the past few days, a melancholy look would appear on his face from time to time, and he would often complain in a low voice.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Wancheng smiled and joked, "Nancheng, what's wrong with you? It's just a trip home."

Gu Nancheng shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter face: "Sister-in-law, you don't understand. I will definitely be urged to get married again when I go back."

Li Yunting couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "You're not a kid anymore, so it's only natural for the old man to care about you."

Gu Nancheng sighed, "I care about you, but I can't stand the pressure of getting married. I haven't had enough of my free time yet."

As the day of returning home drew closer, Gu Nancheng's melancholy became more and more obvious. He would sigh from time to time, imagining the scene of facing all the aunts and uncles asking about his marital status after returning home, and he felt overwhelmed.

"Oh, I will definitely be nagged endlessly by then, and I don't know how to deal with it." Gu Nancheng complained with a frown.

Zheng Wancheng comforted him, "Nancheng, don't be so sad. Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise when you go back this time."

Gu Nancheng smiled bitterly and said, "What other surprises can there be? It's good enough that I'm not annoyed to death."

After complaining, Gu Nancheng went back to his room, leaving Zheng Wancheng, who looked embarrassed, and Li Yunting, who was silent, standing there.

"Then... what kind of birthday gift should we prepare?" Zheng Wancheng broke the silence and looked at Li Yunting and asked. She knew that this birthday party was quite important, so she hoped to give a suitable gift to express her feelings.

Li Yunting thought for a moment and replied, "Grandpa Gu likes calligraphy and painting. You can consider giving him some related works or artworks as gifts. Of course, the most important thing is your own intentions."

Zheng Wancheng nodded to show that he understood.
