It’s not that Shen’s mother hasn’t heard about the recent commotion on Weibo, she just doesn’t take it to heart.

But when it's really your turn...

She had to believe it again.

"And Miss Liu."

She was the first to laugh out loud, with a calmness accumulated over the years: "Thank you for your help with Xiao Chao's matter. He is usually uneducated and has no skills. The most correct thing he has done in his life is to become friends with you two.

.”

The compliments seemed particularly sincere when they came out of her mouth.

At the same time, she personally handed over a beautifully wrapped gift: "This is a gift I personally selected. I don't know if it will suit your liking. There is also a check. If you don't mind, just accept it."

Liu Zhenying listened quietly, with a smile on his delicate features, and his eyes fell on the check.

The face value is huge, at least bigger than she has ever seen.

Five million.

But she didn't show any joy or covetousness. She shook her head gently and said, "No, Qu Xiaojue has already paid me."

"Xiao Jue?" Mother Shen smiled warmly: "What did he give you?"

"Two pieces of cake."

Liu Zhenying happily stretched out two fingers, his apricot eyes rolled into a crescent shape, and his smile looked charming and proud, making people want to pinch it.

At the same time, Shen's mother was stunned and couldn't believe it: "Two pieces of cake?"

Is that cake made of gold?

Otherwise, how could it be worth more than a check?

"Aunt Shen."

Qu Xiaojue spoke quickly, unable to let Liu Zhenying say anything earth-shattering.

His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he stretched out his hand to take the check and the gift, with a polite attitude: "Thank you, Aunt Shen, I accepted the things for Zhenzhen. If there is anything else that needs us in the future, we will naturally be obliged to do so."

After saying that, he patted Liu Zhenying's arm gently and coaxed: "Why don't you thank Aunt Shen soon."

"Ah?" Liu Zhenying didn't know why, but he still nodded obediently: "Thank you, Aunt Shen."

Seeing the two people's well-matched looks, Mother Shen's eyes flashed with a smile, and she joked: "Just accept it. I'll go see Xiao Chao first, so I won't disturb the fun of you two young lovers."

Are she and Qu Xiaojue a couple?

When did they get together?

Liu Zhenying was slightly startled, and just as she was about to ask, Mother Shen walked past her and walked into the ward.

She was left with a puzzled face, and she didn't react until she got into the car. Looking at the man's handsome and tough profile, her red lips opened: "Just now..."

"Do you want a check for five million?"

"This is not for me, why should I want it?"

Hearing this, she frowned immediately and her train of thought was led astray: "My reward is two pieces of cake. You haven't given it to me yet. You received the check. It's naturally yours. It's none of my business."

?”

Qu Xiaojue's eyes flashed with amusement, he waved the check in front of her eyes and said seductively: "This is five million, which can be exchanged for countless cakes."

Liu Zhenying really didn't understand why Qu Xiaojue said that.

But she still tilted her head and repeated the same sentence: "What does that have to do with me? I just want my two pieces of cake."

He looked at her suspicious expression, curled up her thin lips, and was immediately amused. It was a face filled with joy from the inside out.

Putting away the check, he rubbed her face with his fingers, knowing exactly how to coax her: "Can we pack another cake today and make it for tomorrow's breakfast?"

"real?"

Sure enough, that little face suddenly lit up, bright and beautiful, overflowing with the unabashed excitement and joy of a girl.

Qu Xiaojue ordered two cakes for Liu Zhenying as promised, one black forest and one hazelnut passion fruit.

But when it was served on the table, it looked completely different from what she had imagined.

On a standard white porcelain plate, a quarter of a palm-sized small cake was placed neatly.

It is a triangular cut cake.
