Chapter 610: The Big Cake
Yan Yan reached out to help her remove the snowflakes on her head, and gazed at her rosy cheeks, feeling a sudden flutter in his heart.
Soon, the corners of his lips lazily curved up into a smile: "Hmm, impressive."
In the past, he wasn’t particularly fond of festive, lively scenes like this.
But with her around, it actually seemed... not bad at all.
Watching her bounce around the yard like a carefree little kitten, his mood inexplicably brightened.
Of course, it would be even better if Chu Yibai wasn’t there.
After all the commotion, those who had things to do left early, leaving a few to stay for dinner.
Snowball fights are not like building snowmen; they ended up covered head to toe, especially with Yun Qiluo looking quite a mess.
Wang Ma dusted off the snow from her hair and clothes and, worried she might catch a cold, took her upstairs to change clothes.
When she came down, she had changed into lighter loungewear and didn’t feel cold at all inside the heated room, only comfortably warm.
But the living room was empty, except for Yan Yan standing below, waiting for her.
As the scent wafted from the dining room, Yun Qiluo realized what was happening, her eyes lit up: "Beautiful woman, is it time to eat?"
Seeing her expression change in an instant, Yan Yan curved his lips: "Yes, there’s also a cake."
Cake!
Yun Qiluo’s eyes widened, and she dashed down the stairs like the wind:
"Wait for me, Luo Luo! Save some cake for me!!
But because she was running too fast, she twisted her foot as she neared the floor and fell forward.
Fortunately, Yan Yan was right there and quickly caught her, pulling her into his arms.
His large hand held the back of her head, and he lazily said, "Why the rush?"
Yun Qiluo was thrilled: "My cake!"
He remained calm: "Don’t worry, no one’s touched it yet."
He hadn’t gone, so those kids wouldn’t dare.
Even so, Yun Qiluo was too anxious to wait and immediately dragged Yan Yan to the dining room.
By then, everyone in the dining room was already seated, orderly, while the staff were serving dishes methodically.
On the table, a five-tier large cake was especially eye-catching.
It was a very Christmas-themed cake, with the largest top tier being a snowman made of cream and coconut shavings, surrounded by cream-piped decorations of Christmas tree leaves, very fairy-tale-like.
On top, there were also two little deer and a Santa Claus in red clothes.
Each layer was decorated with bows in red and green Christmas tree leaves drawn with cream and edible dyes, with a circle of white chocolate snowflake decorations.
It looked particularly exquisite and beautiful.
Yun Qiluo gasped in amazement, her eyes fixing on it, unable to look away.
It took her several seconds to react, and she immediately lunged at the cake as if she hadn’t eaten in centuries.
Then she sat down in front of the cake.
It was unclear if Housekeeper Chen had arranged it intentionally, but the cake was only a short reach from her usual seat; she could easily grab it.
At this moment, the young girl’s eyes were only fixed on the large cake in front of her, completely ignoring the array of delicacies on the table.
Seated on the dining chair, with a knife and fork in hand, she was impatiently eager, her eyes shining at the cake:
"Beautiful woman, beautiful woman, let’s cut the cake and eat!"
