Crossing the line

Chapter 108 You are hot and cold

Yun Yuwan was even very surprised and didn't know how to respond for a moment: "Okay..."

Wen Wei was suspicious and shocked.

Only Wen Yangzhi was completely isolated and seemed not to be a member of this family.

After finishing breakfast and preparing to leave, Yun Yuwan was standing at the dining table drinking coffee. Wen Yangzhi passed by, put his hand across her waist, and touched her waist soothingly.

Yun Yuwan was startled and looked around quickly. Fortunately, no one was looking at this side at that moment.

Wen Yangzhi walked past her as if nothing had happened.

Yun Yuwan thought of something, waited for a while, ran out and followed him to the garage, like a little follower: "Brother, can you pick me and Auntie up today?"

Wen Yangzhi unlocked the car and watched her short legs struggling back and forth trying to keep up with him.

The lights in the garage flickered, but he didn't answer her.

I saw Wen Yangzhi open the car door.

Yun Yuwan was suddenly blown by the early autumn wind and sneezed: "Ha autumn!"

She said with a sad face: "Look, you've been so hot and cold towards me that I caught a cold."

Wen Yangzhi smiled silently, took off his clothes and put them on her: "I will go."

His suit jacket was so big that it completely covered her, reaching between her thighs. Yun Yuwan narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and smiled, leaning into his arms, speaking softly and sweetly as if she was drunk, without any temper: "Wen Yangzhi, you are the best."

Wen Yangzhi stretched out his hands and put his arm around her waist. Her petite body pressed against him. Wen Yangzhi didn't speak for a long time.

Until Yun Yuwan raised her head and stopped hugging him: "Brother, go now."

He opened the car door, and Yun Yuwan suddenly leaned forward with her head raised, saying domineeringly: "Kiss me."

Wen Yangzhi was really amused by her. He sneered silently, but immediately leaned over and kissed her.

She licked her lips contentedly, she always did this, as if Wen Yangzhi was delicious.

When Wen Yangzhi got into the car, she still leaned her head to look out the window, with all five fingers spread out and her head tilted to wave to him, which made him inexplicably happy all the way away.

Inside the villa, Zhao Qin called the Zhu family and explained that Yun Yuwan was an artist and her cake decorating skills would be very beautiful, so she asked if Yun Yuwan's cake could be used at the banquet.

When Mrs. Zhu heard that the daughter of the Wen family wanted to personally make a cake for her old lady, she was overjoyed and immediately agreed:

"That's great. Yu Wan will make a cake for the old lady. She will definitely be happy then. Yu Wan is really kind-hearted, thoughtful and talented."

But Zhu Nongzhang happened to be sitting on the side and heard everything that was said on the phone clearly.

It’s their old lady’s birthday, and Yun Yuwan still wants to steal the limelight here.

Are you okay?
After Mrs. Zhu hung up the phone, Zhu Nongzhang immediately said, "Auntie, I want to make a cake too. What should I do if she makes one?"

Mrs. Zhu's expression changed slightly: "Nong Zhang... Are you going to make a cake too?"

"Yes, I bake cake base very well. I have been preparing for a long time. I want to make a cake for my grandma." Zhu Nongzhang's almond-shaped eyes smiled with a hypocritical sweetness.

Mrs. Zhu is a stepmother. She is usually very cautious when getting along with Zhu Nongzhang. She will give in whenever she can. But now she can't say that the guest has done something and asks you to change the gift. She is hesitant and can't tell her stepdaughter that this is not good.

"Nong Zhang... How about you change the gift? Auntie has a set of buttons, which I got these two days. Grandma will definitely like it. How about you give that set of buttons to grandma?"

"The ones bought outside are so boring. Making the cake yourself will definitely be more thoughtful. Auntie, you won't refuse to support me, right?" Zhu Nongzhang smiled, but put Mrs. Zhu in a dilemma.

Mrs. Zhu finally nodded and said in embarrassment that she would think of a compromise.

On the other hand, when Yun Yuwan was making the cake, Zhao Qin was really there to help.

Yun Yuwan was a little flattered and couldn't show her skills, but her skills were excellent and the cake flowers she mounted were still lifelike. Zhao Qin praised them endlessly, saying they were beautiful and looked like lifelike.

Yun Yuwan was a little surprised, but the servant immediately said:
"I've never seen a cake decorating that looks like an oil painting. What the lady did is simply a work of art."

"Miss is a talented woman, so of course she makes cakes differently from others."

Yun Yuwan has always tried to keep her presence as low as possible at home, so when she was suddenly praised like this, she was so surprised that she was not used to it, but she was also very happy in her heart.

“I just happen to know a little bit.”

Zhao Qin looked at the lotus cake and said, "The old lady has lived a pure life. She must like you comparing her to this bunch of lotus flowers."

The people around her quickly agreed: "The young lady is smart and capable, no wonder Old Lady Zhu likes Miss Yuwan."

"If you are original, you will definitely be in the spotlight."

Yun Yuwan felt uncomfortable with the praise, but her resistance to this family somehow lessened.

On the other hand, Zhu Nongzhang was good at making cake bases, but not so good at decorating flowers, so she was particularly careful in decorating the cake, trying her best to make each flower just right, and the result was about 70% satisfactory.

When Yun Yu arrived late in the evening, he had just handed the cake to Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. Zhu said apologetically, "I didn't know Nong Zhang also made a cake. I'm really sorry. It's late. Can you accept serving both cakes together?"

But Yun Yuwan is a professional after all, and her cake decorating is extremely delicate. Yun Yuwan considered that after her cake was served, Zhu Nongzhang's cake would probably be overshadowed, making Zhu Nongzhang's work in vain:

"Of course, why not serve Miss Zhu's first? Grandma Zhu will be very happy to see her granddaughter's hand-made cake. Mine will be served later."

Being a stepmother is difficult, and Yun Yuwan has no intention of making things difficult for others.

Mrs. Zhu immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Yu Wan is so generous and decent. Sister Qin doesn't know how you taught me. I really want to learn from you."

Zhao Qin smiled and said, "We are just giving up the cake. We are not trying to be the center of attention. We just want to show our appreciation to the old lady. It's enough if we show our appreciation."

Even if she comes later, she won't lose the limelight. Yuwan's cake is definitely more beautiful than Nongzhang's.

Mrs. Zhu was really envious at this moment.

The Wen family is worthy of being the Wen family, their family education is really good.

When he sat down at the table, Zhu Nongzhang felt proud when he saw that his cake was served first.

I deliberately said to the old lady: "Grandma, I made this cake."

Zhu Yaoqing took a look at the plain-looking cake and nodded: "It's thoughtful."

Everyone was a little surprised that Zhu Nongzhang, who was always a spoiled and lazy girl, actually made the cake by herself.

Old Mrs. Zhu seldom praised others, but the two words "praised" for Zhu Nongzhang were worth the seven or eight hours of baking the cake.

Yun Yuwan was arranged to sit next to Zhu Nongzhang. She was thinking about something but did not show it.

Zhu Nongzhang was still feeling proud, but he didn't expect that a child suddenly slapped his hand on the cake, and the icing that Zhu Nongzhang had spent seven or eight hours on was ruined in an instant.

The child grabbed the cake and ran after his friends:

"Look, I won't hit you!"

The friend who passed by also grabbed a handful of cake, but he couldn't eat it at all, so he ran around the banquet hall: "I'm going to hit you first, don't run!"

It happened so fast that the Zhu family had no time to stop it, and the cake was torn into pieces by four or five children.

Zhu Nongzhang was so shocked that he wanted to stand up. Yun Yuwan glanced at her, and Zhu Nongzhang felt someone was looking at him, so he also looked at her, and realized that Yun Yuwan was mocking him.

The cake was in a mess in an instant.

Mrs. Zhu was afraid that the old lady would be angry, but she didn't expect Zhu Nongzhang to be unhappy, so she quickly smiled and said to him, "Yu Wan also made a cake, we will bring it up later."

Old Mrs. Zhu didn't care about this cake at first, but when she heard that Yun Yuwan had made another one, a smile suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she just laughed it off the destruction of the birthday cake in front of her.

Zhu Nongzhang watched the children fighting left and right and realized that he had made a mistake.

Now her cake is used for playing, and Yun Yuwan's cake will definitely be cut. Everyone can eat Yun Yuwan's cake, but her cake is now just a disgusting mess.

These damn kids, why are they so naughty.

Yun Yuwan smiled and turned around, but noticed from the corner of her eye that Zhu Nongzhang's eyes were red.

Then I looked at the kids playing with the cake and suddenly understood.

If it wasn't a professional, it must have taken a long time to make this cake. It was made with my own efforts, but no one had even had a bite of it before it was played with, like a toy made of mud. No one would be happy about it.

Yun Yuwan suddenly held Zhu Nongzhang's hand.

Zhu Nongzhang shrank subconsciously. Not wanting to be seen in such an ugly state, he forced himself to hold back his tears. He felt even more disgusted with the complacent Yun Yuwan.

"Do you still have the ingredients to make the cake?" Yun Yuwan suddenly asked.

Zhu Nongzhang said with disgust: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Yun Yuwan stood up and said, "I'll go down with you and make another one together."

Although Yun Yuwan was about to be in the limelight, she said that she wanted to do one with her. Zhu Nongzhang didn't expect this and said in surprise, "...Huh?"

Yun Yuwan did not hesitate, but whispered: "Let's go."

She whispered to Mrs. Zhu next to her, "Auntie, the cake is broken. Nong Zhang and I will go downstairs and make another one. Don't bring mine up yet."

Mrs. Zhu was puzzled: "There is no need to—"

But Yun Yuwan pulled Zhu Nongzhang and ran downstairs to the kitchen.

Yun Yuwan ran into the Zhu family kitchen and asked, "Do you have any leftover cake base? We are running out of time. We only have another twenty minutes at most."

Zhu Nongzhang quickly turned his face away and wiped his tears: "Yes, I baked a lot. There were several that failed to decorate before. I scraped them clean and decorated them again."

"Take it out quickly, I'll help you frame it using your cake base." Yun Yuwan said without hesitation.

Zhu Nongzhang was a little stunned. Looking at Yun Yuwan who was looking for materials, she pointed to the side of the kitchen counter and said, "It's all here."

Yun Yuwan opened the lid and saw a lot of failed cakes. She simply scraped off the icing and started to re-icing them.

Yun Yuwan’s mounting looks much better than Zhu Nongzhang’s, and it’s also done very quickly.

"Cut a new piping bag for me, put on a fine-toothed nozzle, and put in brown butter."

Zhu Nongzhang hurried to do it, and seeing Yun Yuwan doing it so quickly, she was a little bit unbelievable.

When it was almost done, Zhu Nongzhang whispered awkwardly: "Actually, I really hate you."

Yun Yuwan smiled and looked up at her: "Why?"

"Before you came, Aunt Qin treated me as her daughter. After you came, Aunt Qin paid little attention to me. Why do you think you can? I am just the daughter of a small family."

Yun Yuwan framed the flowers and said slowly, "You think my existence caused Aunt Qin to stop caring about you, but my mother is an old friend who has done the Wen family a favor. If you bully me, it will only make Aunt Qin hate you more, instead of transferring all her love to you."

Zhu Nongzhang's movements suddenly stopped.

Yun Yuwan raised her eyes and smiled calmly: "You and I have a good relationship, so Aunt Qin will focus her attention on us at the same time."

Having not thought deeply about it from this perspective, Zhu Nongzhang was stunned where he stood.

Yes, if she wants Aunt Qin to continue to like her and care about her, then she should have a good relationship with Aunt Qin's daughter, so that Aunt Qin will be happy and continue to like her.

Yun Yuwan's profile is charming, graceful and gentle.

Zhu Nongzhang muttered, "Don't be so confident. Why should I be nice to you?"

"I am confident that you will be nice to me, so I don't care about your little actions at all." Yun Yuwan was contented and raised his eyebrows slightly to glance at her.

Zhu Nongzhang had never seen anyone as confident as Yun Yuwan. He was sure that he could make a new cake in twenty minutes. He brought himself downstairs even though he hated her, and said shamelessly that he would definitely like her.

Generally, powerful people are very low-key. They are not as crazy as her.

How can there be such a person, who seems to be full of confidence just because he has a little bit of support...

Although her judgment was completely correct.

"Zhu Nongzhang, I'm not afraid of you." Yun Yuwan raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, "I haven't been afraid since the beginning."

The name Nong Zhang means to celebrate the birth of a boy. Before Nong Zhang was born, people were probably hoping for a boy.

Her family members don't like her, but she is pretty. Zhao Qin likes pretty young people, so it is inevitable that she will take care of Zhu Nongzhang.

Zhu Nongzhang came here in such large numbers just because he hoped Zhao Qin would like her, he had no bad intentions.

Yun Yuwan finished making a three-layer cake that looked like a pine or cypress tree and asked the servants to come over to help carry it. Zhu Nongzhang also hurried over to lend a hand.

When it was carried to the banquet hall, everyone looked over.

"Wow……"

"How beautiful! This pine tree looks just like the real thing."

Zhao Qin, who was still chatting and laughing with others, also noticed this side unconsciously.

Yun Yuwan first ran to Old Lady Zhu to explain, "Grandma, this new cake was made by Nongzhang and me together. Nongzhang is good at baking cake bases and I know how to decorate cakes, so we each contributed our skills and combined them together to wish Grandma a life on the twelfth floor."

Yun Yuwan looked at Zhu Nongzhang, who immediately smiled with red eyes:

"Eight thousand years of life is spring."

Everyone in the room laughed. Old Mrs. Zhu, who rarely smiled at the younger generation of the Zhu family, also smiled with her eyes narrowed into slits:

"Okay, with my own niece and my favorite junior making a cake for me, I will live to be eight thousand years old."

The guests at the table all took out their phones to take pictures of the cake.

"This was made by Second Miss Zhu and the daughter of the Wen family. It is much more valuable than the purchased ones."

"It's even prettier than the one I bought. I didn't expect the daughter of the Wen family to have this skill."

"I heard that for those who study art, scratching a cake flower shouldn't be a piece of cake, right?"

Old Lady Zhu rarely cast her eyes on Zhu Nongzhang's face. Although her smile was not strong, she gave an objective evaluation: "Nongzhang, you have grown up."

Seeing those kids ruining the cake, she was still thinking that this spoiled kid was going to lose his temper, but she didn't expect that he would ask his friends to go downstairs and make a new one together to fix it. Things are really different now.

Zhu Nongzhang had never received such praise from the old lady. For a moment, he seemed to be surrounded by loving eyes. He couldn't help but whispered, "It's mainly Yuwan's credit."
