Chapter 257: Ice Cream and Cake

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Upon returning home, Wen Nian found a message from Wei Xiao requesting to add Shen Jun on WeChat.

She rejected the request under the pretense that Shen Jun wasn’t fond of adding strangers.

Wei Xiao: “I’m treating you both today. Are you available this weekend? I remember you’re a fan of ice cream and cake on the fourth floor of Fortune Square. Shall we go together? There are new restaurants there too. Let’s check if there’s anything you like.”

Wen Nian: “Sorry, I have to study this weekend.”

Wei Xiao: “Do you need me to find you a tutor? The Wei family has several excellent private tutors for all subjects. Let me know if you need help. Don’t worry about the cost; I’ll take care of it. 1 hope to see your grades improve.”

Looking at Wei Xiao’s message on her phone, Wen Nian couldn’t help but scoff internally. If Wei Xiao had spoken to her like this in her previous life, she would’ve been ecstatic and sleepless even if he sent a few words on WeChat.

However, now that she saw through his intentions, she felt nothing but disgust. She simply put down her phone without intending to respond further.

Wei Xiao held his phone, waiting for a response for a long time, feeling increasingly anxious. In the past, Wen Nian used to be eager for his WeChat messages. Now, she dared not reply to him? Yet, he also understood that he couldn’t afford to upset her at this juncture.

Hence, he sent another message. “I won’t disturb you anymore. Good night.”

Wen Nian sighed in exasperation as her phone vibrated again. Wei Xiao was certainly persistent.

She took a screenshot of the conversation and sent it directly to Shen Jun. She remembered that she had to keep her boyfriend updated on everything.

Shen Jun: Ice cream and cake? He’s got quite the memory.

Wen Nian: 1 don’t like it. 1 refuse to eat it. It doesn’t taste good at all. His memory is way off.

Shen Jun: Haha.

Wen Nian:”?”

Shen Jun: Whether something tastes good or not often depends on who you’re sharing it with.

Wen Nian:”?”

Shen Jun: Come to my place tomorrow at io a.m.

Shen Jun’s cryptic words left Wen Nian a bit guilty. She did have a sweet tooth, and she hadn’t expected Wei Xiao to remember her culinary preferences.

She wanted to extract information from Wei Xiao but didn’t want to annoy Shen Jun by delving into these old matters.

Remembering how Shen Jun would narrow his eyes and look at her, Wen Nian felt a sense of danger. Thus, she quickly set an alarm and decided to prepare breakfast to take over to Shen Jun’s place in the morning.

Winning a man’s heart starts with filling his stomach. Delicious food would stifle any inquiries, giving her time to act.

Before ten o’clock, Wen Nian stood in front of Shen Jun with two sizable thermos lunch boxes.

To have some privacy, Shen Jun had given Auntie Jiang the day off early in the morning. Auntie Jiang was rather “understanding” and had assured him she’d be back later.

“1 made steamed custard buns and eight-treasure porridge this morning, along with assorted pickles. And this is my mom’s homemade tomato sardine dish. It’s way better than regular canned food. Usually, I can’t bring myself to eat it.”

Wen Nian gazed at Shen Jun with a pitiful expression. “I woke up at five in the morning to memorize vocabulary while cooking. Baby, can you do me a favor?”

Shen Jun found her beseeching look amusing. He affectionately ruffled her hair before slowly savoring the breakfast she had prepared.

Wen Nian had truly put in quite the effort. Although the dishes were light, the steamed custard buns were adorned with various cute cartoon designs. Her dedication was evident.

“This pink piggy really does look like someone.” Shen Jun bit off the pig’s nose playfully.

Wen Nian asked in confusion, “What does it look like?”

“Someone,” Shen Jun replied, looking at her with a knowing expression, as if to say, “Someone like you.”

Wen Nian muttered softly, “You’re the pig!”

Taken aback, Shen Jun leaned in and playfully nipped at her little nose. “Just as

I thought, this little piggy’s nose tastes even better.”

With his face so close to hers, Wen Nian felt her cheeks flush and her ears burn. Suddenly, Shen Jun grabbed the nape of her neck with his large hand and leaned in to give her a deep kiss.

Shen Jun only released her when she was slightly breathless. He playfully pinched her nose. “Can’t you breathe even after a kiss? And you claim you’re not a little pig?”

Seeing how flustered she was becoming, Shen Jun swiftly shifted the topic. “I’ll give you a break this morning. Let’s head to Fortune Square.”

“Holiday? Is that alright?” Wen Nian inquired cautiously. She understood that this was a crucial moment, and every second counted.

“Don’t some people have a penchant for ice cream and cakes? With me as your

boyfriend, no one else gets to treat you..”
