“What a coincidence!” Lu Yingxin said. She was dressed in sportswear today, and her hair was pulled up into a bun; she looked energetic and youthful. She seemed to have learned a new makeup technique. The corners of her eyes that were originally raised made her look sharp, but now, she looked much gentler. Recently, she had considered going overseas to get plastic surgery. In her opinion, Lin Xiaowan was average in all aspects, but she was envious of Lin Xiaowan’s bright and round eyes. She felt that if she had eyes like Lin Xiaowan, Huo Zheng would like her more.

Lin Xiaowan was naturally unaware of Lu Yingxin’s thoughts. She put the matter of the cats aside and greeted the latter.

Lu Yingxin gestured at the bag in her hands and said to Lin Xiaowan, “I queued up for a long time to buy these. 1 originally planned to share them with my friend, but my friend suddenly stood me up. Do you want to try them?”

The bag was lined with an oil wrapper. One could easily smell the fragrance of its content, but there was no indication of what it was from the bag.

Lin Xiaowan asked, “What is it?”

“They’re Five Fortune Flatbread. I bought them from an old shop on Huaihai Road. 1 bought the ones with shrimp and meat fillings. They’re really delicious,” Lu Yingxin said. Then, she took out a piece for Lin Xiaowan before she said, “Here, try it. I can’t finish two servings on my own so 1 want to share them with you. I waited in line for two hours for them.”

Needless to say, Lu Yingxin did not make any plans with her friend at all. She heard from the security guard in Xilin Imperial Garden that Lin Xiaowan had gone to the dessert shop so she quickly came to wait for Lin Xiaowan. On the way here, she had been thinking of ways to get closer to Lin Xiaowan, and coincidentally, she passed by the flatbread shop. Also, she did not queue up for the flatbread and bought it from someone else at a high price. She sent her assistant to do it since she was too embarrassed to do it herself.

In Lu Yingxin’s opinion, although she did not gain a lot of fans after participating in a variety show, she believed that she was a little famous. Moreover, her first movie was about to premiere. When the movie premiered, and if this matter was exposed, it would be difficult for her to explain herself, and it would bring a host of trouble to her. For this reason, she had asked her assistant to discreetly buy the flatbread from someone.

Lu Yingxin had a scale in her heart. She thought that this was only a small price to pay. When she became Mrs. Huo in the future, she could buy the entire shop if she wanted to, let alone the Five Fortune Flatbread.

With this thought in mind, Lu Yingxin’s smile grew brighter when she looked at Lin Xiaowan.

Lin Xiaowan could not resist Lu Yingxin’s enthusiasm so she could only accept it. She said, “Thank you so much. I haven’t even treated you to a meal yet, but you’ve already treated me to a meal…”

Lu Yingxin laughed. “This is just a small matter. It’s not a big deal.”

Needless to say, only Lu Yingxin herself knew if this was a small matter or not.

Lin Xiaowan looked at the time and said, “Well, there’s no time like the present. 1’11 treat you to a meal today. Are you free tonight?”

Lu Yingxin was very eager. She said, “Of course. I’m an idle person.”

However, after that, Lu Yingxin pretended to say, “But don’t force yourself. I’m sure you’re busy, right?”

Lin Xiaowan said, “No, no, I’m almost done.”

Lin Xiaowan told Lu Yingxin to wait for her at the dessert shop for a while. She even personally brought the latter over and told an employee to put everything Lu Yingxin ordered on her tab.

When Lin Xiaowan came out, she saw that Zhu Yingyue was still waiting for her at the entrance of the new shop. She ran over and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Sister. I wanted to have dinner with you tonight, but it seems like we can only do it another time.”

Zhu Yingyue did not mind at all. She said, “It’s fine. We can eat together at any time. If you have something to do, go ahead.”

Zhu Yingyue threw this matter to the back of her mind and pulled Lin Xiaowan over to look at the storefront. She said, “The two shops have completely different concepts so we can’t possibly call this the dessert shop as well. Moreover, it’ll be awkward if our customers enter the wrong shop… I’m really not good at naming. Xiaowan, why don’t you come up with a name?”

Lin Xiaowan was also not talented in this regard. She stroked her chin as she said, “Why don’t we just call it the Creative Space? After all, we’re providing baking classes to our customers. It involves a lot of creativity…”

“The Creative Space… Hmm, alright. Let’s go with this name then,” Zhu Yingyue said.

Seeing how quickly Zhu Yingyue agreed, Lin Xiaowan felt nervous and hesitant. “Don’t you think this is too hasty? Shouldn’t we come up with a few more names?”

Zhu Yingyue said with a smile, “You can come up with more names if that’s what you want. I have no objection to that…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaowan said decisively, “There’s no need for that. Let’s just go with the Creative Space. It sounds good.”

After that, Zhu Yingyue spoke about the patissiers. She had not sent Lin Xiaowan the list, and Lin Xiaowan had been going to the filming set recently. Since they met today, she decided to discuss the matter again.

“I’m not in a hurry. After all, the shop is still being renovated. We have time to look for good patissiers,” Zhu Yingyue said.

“If you’re not in a hurry, then I’m not in a hurry. Anyway, just send me a message if you need anything. However, if you send me an e-mail, remember to call me. I don’t usually check my e-mails,” Lin Xiaowan said.

Zhu Yingyue made an ‘okay’ gesture as she said, “Alright.”

When Lin Xiaowan and Zhu Yingyue’s discussion about the shop was almost over, Lin Xiaowan called Huo Zheng and informed him that she would not be going home for dinner.

When Huo Zheng received the call, he was about to get off work and leave. Upon hearing that Lin Xiaowan was not having dinner at home, his smile drooped a little as he said, “You’re eating out with your friend? Remember to watch you eat, okay?”

Then, Huo Zheng lowered his voice before he continued to say, “If 1 find out that you didn’t listen to me, I’ll punish you.”

Lin Xiaowan’s ears turned red. She knew what Huo Zheng meant by ‘punish*. She decided to be magnanimous and not quarrel with the 30-year-old man. She coughed lightly and said, “By the way, I’m having dinner with Lu Yingxin.” Huo Zheng frowned as soon as he heard these words. He did not understand why Lin Xiaowan was with Lu Yingxin again. “Why are you with her again?”

Lin Xiaowan told Huo Zheng about their coincidental encounter at the entrance of the dessert shop and even told him about the Five Fortune Flatbread. Then, she said, “The Five Fortune Flatbread is really delicious. I didn’t know about it before.. Let’s buy some next time!”
