Chapter 13: Lin Che- I was afraid that once I heard your confession, I wouldn't be able to leave
Tang Mi stared at him for a while, then walked up to hi here?”
Lin Che grinned at her ”I came here to eat your cakes”
There was a chocolate cake on his table, a thick layer of chocolate sauce pooled on top of the rectangular cake acco the top were three long chocolate rolls made of white chocolate As a final touch, a flower shaped syrup decoration was added, like a medal for the cake
”Such a pretty cake, I al it,” he lamented, even still, he cut out a little piece and placed it in hisbut very creamy, and the toasted nuts complement the taste as well The coffee and rum infused syrup also pairs ith the chocolate
”Hehehe, no wonder they call you the prince of baking, you figured out my recipe in only one bite”
Lin Che placed his fork down and curved his lips upwards at her ”Not everyone can replicate this taste, even if they know the recipe Just like what I used to say to you, no matter how hard you follow a recipe, even one variable – even just the way you knead the dough – can e difference in the final result”
Standing in the corner of the restaurant, the head chef and Manager Zhang were subtly observing Lin Che and Tang Mi on table 13
”That youngster looks rather faot really popular?”
Manager Zhang nodded ”What's he doing here?”
The head chef stroked his chin ”Judging by the way he's looking at Tang Mi, it doesn't seeood intentions towards her He's not here to take our pillars, right?” [TL: digging at their corners or taking away their foundations, ie Tang Mi because she’s such amaze]
”Ah, actually, now that you say that, I re in the same university before”
The head chef stared at hier”
Tang Mi was still standing at table 13 and replied per protocol to Lin Che, ”If you have any comments about the cake, I'll take it seriously, otherwise I'”
Lin Che raised his brows ”Can't we just talk?”
”Sorry, I'”
Lin Che thought for a hed a little, ”Then I'll wait for you to finish”
Tang Mi had until 7pm or 8pm before she left Wait if you want to then As soon as she was about to leave, the restaurant er appeared at her side
Tang Mi ier”
She chuckled at her then faced Lin Che, ”Greetings Mr Lin, do you have any issues with our cakes?”
Lin Che smiled ”It's very delicious”
The restaurant h her eyes ”It's an honour to receive your praise, Mr Lin”
”You have a very excellent pastry chef”
”Our CEO Yu also feels this hich is why she is now one of our regular staff members”
Lin Che's brows shi+fted a little, then laughed out, ”There's been a , that wasn't my intention at all”
The restaurant er carried a professional smile and politely bowed ”I hope you enjoy your meal”
Tang Mi followed the restaurant er away and heard her say, ”I heard you tere university friends?”
Tang Mi replied, ”Mrades above me as my senior classmate”
The restaurant er nodded in response and said no more
Due to Lin Che's appearance, the staff in the restaurant grew a little restless and buzzed with excite up close would be such a rare opportunity, it's not so you'd encounter everyday After Lin Che finished his cake, he paid his check and left Tang Mi hadn't even noticed he left and continued working until her shi+ft was over It wasn't until she left the building did she notice that he was standing outside waiting for her
There was still sohtaway
Back in university, Lin Che had a very eye catching aura surrounding him, and his charm had only increased
Lin Che looked over at her and smiled as he walked up ”Now can we talk?”
Tang Mi couldn't tell if he had just arrived or if he had actually waited the whole day She pursedher lips, almost a little puzzled she asked, ”What on earth do you really want?”
Lin Che paused his actions for a moment and the smile upon his face finally slipped away ”Are you still mad at me?”
Tang Mi huffed out, ”Mad at you for what?”
Lin Che was silent for a moment, then replied, ”That year, I shouldn't have left you hanging, it rong of ise to you but I didn't kno to do it,” he paused for a bit, ”I've loved baking ever since i was young, and although my parents preferred it if I could learn Western cuisine, I never gave up on baking and had alorked towards being a well known master Which is hen Chesterton offered to take , there was no way I could refuse”
Tang Mi raised her brows ”So?”
Lin Che watched her, the war in his eyes, ”However, I'd already h I never told you, I've actually always liked you”
Tang Mi was frozen in shock She never thought that after all those years apart she would end up hearing a confession from Lin Che She stared at Lin Che and found it almost ridiculous ”Is this a joke? You stood me up then secretly left the country, and this is your idea of likingto confess to you that day?”
Lin Che furrowed his brows, ”I knehich is why I didn't turn up I was afraid that once I heard your confession, I wouldn't be able to let myself leave”
Tang Mi pupils flashed, and laughed out, ”So it's my fault?”
