Chapter 349: Chapter 347: Well Done, But Don’t Do It Again Next Time

The staff led them to the living room on the second floor.

Qin Yu and Chu Yan were in the living room on the second floor, holding cakes they had made themselves, waiting for their wives to return.

Chu Yan’s cake, needless to say, was even more exquisite than those sold in stores. His skills were unparalleled.

There was a fondant-made miniature zoo on the cake, with cute little orange cats and black dogs, as well as a grass-eating sheep and a lazy snake.

The photographer gave his cake a big close-up.

"Wow, you really put your heart into this!" Pei Kejun and the staff exclaimed admiringly.

"Did you really make this yourself? It’s even better than many professional pastry chefs I’ve seen."

Everyone was astonished by Chu Yan’s culinary skills, never expecting him to be so impressive.

On the other hand, Su Xiaotong felt disheartened when she saw Qin Yu’s cake.

Qin Yu didn’t know how to make fondant animals, so our domineering Mr. Qin decided to put a blown-up, bare-faced photo of Su Xiaotong on the cake!

Above the photo, he had drawn a big red heart!

Qin Yu glanced at Qin Zhao who looked "so touched in front of the camera that he almost cried," and proudly asked Su Xiaotong, "How do you like it? Do you like it?"

Su Xiaotong patted his shoulder, "It’s well-made, but don’t you dare do it again."

Of all her photos, why did he have to pick the ugliest one?

And it was a blown-up version of that ugly photo!

Su Xiaotong felt like throttling Qin Yu, her little fists were creaking.

At this time, the husbands of the other two female guests also presented their gifts.

Pei Kejun, who liked to collect Hermès bags, was delighted when her husband returned from the duty-free shop with a style she didn’t own.

Guan Xinzhi’s husband, on the other hand, gave her a diamond necklace worth three million.

She wore the diamond necklace and kept flaunting it in front of the camera, even pushing Su Xiaotong away who wanted to punch Qin Yu, as the cameraman was trying to capture their interaction.

Guan Xinzhi then came by Qin Zhao, who was near the cake, and said meaningfully, "Homemade cakes, to put it nicely, are a gesture of the heart, but to put it bluntly, doesn’t it just show you don’t have money?

Any man can make a cake.

I think sending such a thing on such an important occasion is a bit devaluing, isn’t it? But, you guys are young and can’t afford expensive gifts, so I understand."

Qin Zhao fed Chu Yan a piece of cake, "Don’t mind her, a regular guy couldn’t make this kind of cake. Look at my uncle; he can only put a big headshot of Su Xiaotong."

"???"

Qin Yu heard this and came over.

"Qin Zhao, is this how you speak about your elders?"

Su Xiaotong fumed, "Then why did you put my ugly photo? Couldn’t you learn from Chu Yan!

With so many beautiful women today, do you think I’m not ugly enough? I’m really going to be driven mad by you!"

"Don’t you dare hit me! Can’t I learn? I’ll start learning tomorrow! Where are you ugly? You are the cutest! That photo is clearly the best looking one!"

"Are you still arguing? I’ll bite you to death!"

Su Xiaotong, standing on tiptoe, was about to twist his ear, but Qin Yu dodged and quickly put away the photo to prevent Su Xiaotong from getting angry again when she saw it.

The three couples were enjoying themselves, and although Su Xiaotong disliked Qin Yu’s cake, she finished eating it.

They also shared the cake with Pei Kejun, her husband, and other staff members.

Guan Xinzhi’s pair was obviously left out, with no one willing to interact with them.

As the sun set in the west, evening approached.

Guan Xinzhi’s husband, Qi Haoyang, tried to find a conversation topic and suggested everyone go to a famous ethnic restaurant in Huainan, but the others, having eaten the cake, said they were too full for dinner.

In the end, only Guan Xinzhi and her husband went to the restaurant, while the rest, hand-in-hand with their partners, went for a walk to the famous Cangyue Lake in Huainan.

After their walk, Guan Xinzhi and her husband hadn’t returned yet, so the gentlemen sat downstairs drinking tea and chatting.

Pei Kejun’s husband, Tan Mingri, as a well-known movie star, had cooperated with Qin Yu’s company several times and the two found plenty to talk about.

"Mr. Qin, is good news coming soon?"

Tan Mingri asked with a smile.

Seeing how Qin Yu and Su Xiaotong interacted during the walk, he had never expected the decisive Mr. Qin from the entertainment industry to have such a side.

"I’ll let you know when the time comes," Qin Yu replied, sipping his tea, a smile curling the corners of his mouth in acknowledgment.

Their wives were upstairs, initially discussing skincare and gossip before the conversation turned to Thunderstruck Wood.

Qin Zhao planned to carve talisman on the ordinary Thunderstruck Wood for both of them, believing it would enhance the effect.

After engraving the talisman, she walked out of the room and happened to run into Guan Xinzhi returning.

"Stop there." She didn’t want to bother with her, but suddenly something felt off to Qin Zhao.

"What now?"

Guan Xinzhi looked at Qin Zhao displeased, wondering if the woman intended to hassle her.

Realizing her tone was indeed harsh and seemed confrontational, Qin Zhao changed her approach, "How about we go to the balcony to watch the stars?"

Guan Xinzhi hesitated, surprised by Qin Zhao’s invitation to join.

She felt ostracized by the others, now wasn’t the time to make trouble.

"Sure, let me just change into something else."

Guan Xinzhi went inside while Qin Zhao told the others, "Take the Thunderstruck Wood back, keep it in your room."

Qin Zhao had them carve talisman earlier, and their Thunderstruck Wood was still in her and Chu Yan’s room.

"Ah? Oh, okay." Su Xiaotong and Pei Kejun didn’t think much of it and followed the instruction.

The second-floor balcony was spacious, equipped with sunshades and loungers.

It was said that in summer, one could enjoy a star-filled night view. Now, being winter, the stars were fewer, but Huainan had no smog, so the night sky was still beautiful.

They watched the stars on the balcony; Guan Xinzhi had changed into more homely clothes, looking much more normal.

"The environment here is really nice."

Guan Xinzhi sat next to Pei Kejun, initiating a chat.

She finally seemed back to normal, and Pei Kejun didn’t deliberately pull a face, "Yeah, did you go for a walk by the lake earlier?"

"No, my husband and I went around town."

Qin Zhao turned to look at Guan Xinzhi, "Did you go see a fortune-teller?"

"How did you know that?"

Guan Xinzhi looked at her, surprised.

"I guessed. The red rope on your wrist, did the fortune-teller tell you to buy it?

Regardless of its purpose, you’d better throw away this red rope, and make sure to do it at a temple."

On Guan Xinzhi’s wrist was a string of red rope with an ancient coin attached.

When she had left for dinner, Qin Zhao hadn’t noticed this accessory. It must have been bought after dinner, from someone she met on the street.

"Why throw it away? These red rope decorations are sold in many places. The person said it could change my luck, so I bought it to try my fortune."

Guan Xinzhi didn’t take it seriously and had no intention of discarding the item. Not only was she asked to throw it away, but to do so in a temple, where would she find a temple at this hour?

"You believe what he says? How do you know he didn’t deceive you?"

"I don’t believe in fortune-tellers, should I believe you then? Don’t tell me you moonlight as a fake spiritualist."

Guan Xinzhi chuckled disdainfully, "It’s just a red rope, what could possibly happen?"
