Chapter 40: Making Desserts with My Own Hands

  It was probably because her miserable appearance was too obvious that the security guard at the entrance couldn't bear to look at her and walked over to her side.

  "Miss, may I ask if there's anything wrong?"

  Qin Nian Ge was nominally Miss Zhan of the Zhan family, but this was still her first time coming to the company, so it wasn't strange that the security guard didn't recognize her.

  Directly being chased up and asked, Qin Nian Ge's heart was even more nervous, her mind went blank, and she stuttered: "I... I came to find my brother."

  "Your brother?" The security guard was confused.

  Qin Nian Ge suddenly realized what she had said, and in a panic, hastily corrected herself: "No, I mean...I came to find...to find Assistant Xu! That's right, Assistant Xu!"

  "Assistant Xu? Are you referring to Assistant Xu Yun-chuan?" The security guard looked her up and down.

  Today Qin Nian Ge wore a pink dress prepared by Lan Aunt, although the style is simple, but it also looks like an expensive look.

  The security guard looked at her and thought about what she had just said, suddenly with a knowing expression: "You're Assistant Xu's sister, right? How about this, I'll take you to the front desk and let them help you call Assistant Xu?"

  Although the security guard had such a big misunderstanding about her identity, his words inadvertently pointed Qin Nian Ge in one direction: "Okay, thank you, Security Uncle!"

  Yes! She can directly give the dim sum to Assistant Xu and let Assistant Xu help deliver it to him.

  In this case, at least he can eat the dim sum with peace of mind?

  Qin Nian Ge made up her mind and finally suppressed the tension in her heart, following the security guard to find the front desk lady.

  The receptionist heard that she was Assistant Xu's "sister", of course, didn't dare to neglect her, and quickly dialed the phone number of Xu Yun-chuan's office. The other end picked up very quickly.

  "Is this Mr. Xu? There's a young lady claiming to be your sister, can I let her go up directly?"

  Upon hearing what the receptionist said, Qin Nian Ge's face turned red and she hastily added a sentence into the receiver: "Xu... big brother, it's Nian Ge."

  Although she couldn't hear what was being said on the other end of the phone, Xu Yun Chuan apparently heard her voice from the expression on the receptionist's face.

  "Miss, Assistant Xu wants you to answer the phone."

  It seems that the receptionist really took her as Xu Yun Chuan's sister, and when she handed over the microphone to her, she laughed so hard that she almost drooled.

  Qin Nian Ge hastily took over the receiver and put it to her ear: "Brother Xu."

  With her first experience, she was much more fluent in shouting this sentence.

  Xu Yun Chuan was apparently not used to her title, and after clearing his throat twice, he managed to speak smoothly: "Miss, how did you end up downstairs? How... did you suddenly become my sister?"

  Qin Nian Ge's face turned red as she turned around, her back to the security guard and the receptionist, speaking in a low voice: "Lan Auntie asked me to bring some pastries over, can I go straight to find you, will you... help me give them to him?"

  "It turned out to be like this, I thought something was wrong," Xu Yun Chuan let out a big sigh of relief. "Alright, the CEO should not come out of his office now, you ask the receptionist for your position and come straight here, see you later."

  "See you later." Qin Nian Ge replied in a low voice, turned around and handed the microphone back to the front desk, "Thank you, may I ask where his office is?"

  The receptionist walked out from behind the counter and said, "I'll take you to the elevator now. When we get to the 37th floor, just turn left as soon as you exit the elevator and walk for a bit, and you'll see Assistant Xu's office. Just remember not to make too much noise when you go in, the CEO's office is right next to Assistant Xu's, he doesn't like it too loud."

  Is their office next door?

  Upon hearing this news, Qin Nian's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.

  Under the guidance of the receptionist, she entered the elevator, and then her heart was pounding again.

  It's okay, Assistant Xu just said he won't come out either. As long as she keeps her voice down a bit, she shouldn't be seen by him.

  Standing outside Xu Yun's office door, Qin Nian Ge did several psychological constructions before finally stretching out her hand to knock gently on the door twice.

  "Come in." Xu Yun's voice soon came from inside.

  She gently pushed open the door, and Xuyunkuan had already come out from behind the office desk: "Miss, please come in."

  Qin Nian Ge smiled hastily and walked in slowly, the first thing she saw was a door opposite Xu Yun Chuan's office desk with the words "Li Hui Yi" written on it.

  Seeing his name, her spirit was even more tense, and she hastily handed the box in her hand to Xu Yun Chuan: "Trouble you to send it to my brother... there are many inside, you can also eat some."

  Looking at her tense appearance, Xu Yun Chuan couldn't help but tease: "Did the miss make it herself? In that case, I wouldn't dare to compete with him. Don't be nervous, just now...

  "I've just sent in a batch of documents for him to sign, he won't be out for a while."

  As soon as Xu Yun's voice fell, the two of them clearly heard that door creak open with a soft groan.

  The bodies of the two people suddenly froze, stiffly looking in that direction.

  Holding a document, Liang Yi's footsteps also stopped at the door. He frowned tightly at them: "Qin Nian Ge? How did you get here? Why are you two standing so close together?"

  Under his icy stare, even the normally calm Xu Yun Chuan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

  He subconsciously took a big step to the side, holding out the pastry in his hand and presenting it to Lai Yueyi with a flattering tone: "President, this is a pastry that Miss personally made for you, I was just about to bring it in for you when you came out, what a coincidence, hehehe..."

  He smiled halfway, and Lai Yue's cold eyes glanced at him again.

  Xu Yun Chuan rubbed his nose, suddenly had an epiphany, raised a finger and said: "I remembered, I have something to do, must go to the planning department immediately. You two chat, these snacks are just right for afternoon tea! President, here!"

  As he spoke, Xu Yun Chuan stuffed the box into Liang Yu's hand.

  Although Lei Ying's expression was still cold as ice, he finally reached out and took the box into his palm.

  Xu Yun Chuan quietly let out a breath, and immediately walked out of the office without stopping. The entire empty room was suddenly left with only two people who were relatively silent.

  Lai Rongyi still had a cold face, sensing the low air pressure emanating from him.

  Qin Nian's heart was even more nervous and fearful, trembling with anxiety as she clenched her fingers, not daring to say a word.

  Li Xueying glared at her with a bad temper and turned back to her own office.

  "Come in."

  Qin Nian Ge originally thought that after sending the cake, he would hurry back, but when he heard him calling himself in, he completely dared not to refute.

  She could only lower her head and follow him in with a humble attitude, then stand at the door with her head down like a little daughter-in-law.

  Lai Rongyi walked to his own desk, turned around and saw her like this, his face looked even more unpleasant, and he couldn't help but say: "Why stand so far away? Can I still eat you? Come a little closer!"

  Qin Nian Ge hastily listened and walked all the way to his side, still with her head down, her face flushed red, not daring to say anything more.

  "Did you make it yourself?" Lai Rongyi looked down at the beautifully packaged box in his hand and raised an eyebrow to ask.

  Qin Nian Ge nodded shyly and replied in a low voice: "It's what Lan Aunt just taught me."

  When he heard her say that, Lai Ruiyi's face finally eased a bit, and he stretched out his hand to open the box. A box of brightly colored cookies suddenly appeared before his eyes.

  Lai Yue blinked and looked at her with some surprise: "Macarons? Are yours edible?"

  Qin Nian Ge was asked by his words and didn't know how to answer, so he could only stutter: "I... it's my first time, maybe..."

  Lü Yī Lěng let out a cold snort and continued matter-of-factly: "It's obviously not going to taste good, right?"

  He still stretched out his hand and picked up a cookie from inside, putting it to his thin lips and biting lightly.

  A crisp sound, the perfect sweetness instantly filled the entire mouth, the first time doing it was able to have such a good taste, really beyond Lian Yu's expectations.

  Qin Nian Ge had been keeping his head down all along, but at this time he couldn't help but tense up and lift it up, carefully observing his micro-expressions, eagerly wanting to know how he felt.

  Lian Yi saw her expression, immediately restrained his expression, coldly glanced at her and said in a low voice: "Indeed, it's the first time you've done this, and there's no comparison with Lan's."

  Hearing his evaluation, Qin Nian Ge suddenly felt even more embarrassed and hastily stretched out her hand to take the box back: "If it's not delicious... I'll just take it back."

  Lai Yun's face changed, and he hastily raised the hand holding the box. His eyes also shot towards her fiercely: "I... I'm just hungry, even if it doesn't taste good, it can fill my stomach."

  Qin Nian Ge withdrew her hand and lowered her head, mumbling: "Next time... let Lan aunt help you with it, hers tastes better."

  At an angle where she couldn't see, Lei Ying's eyebrows suddenly furrowed tightly.

  He turned his head to take a glance at the colorful cookies in the box, reached out and lifted her chin: "It's not delicious if you don't practice often, from now on we'll do it once a week, I'll check the results."

  When she heard that he was willing to eat the cookies she made, Qin Nian Ge's expression suddenly lit up: "Really? Can I make some for you in the future?"

  Seeing the unbridled excitement in her expression, the icy chill between Lian Yiwu's eyebrows finally melted away at this moment.

  He put down his hand that was under her chin and let out a cold hum, biting into a cookie.
