In the restaurant.

Mr. Cass was bored and savored the red wine in the glass. Angel looked forward to the appearance of Yan Xiaye.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Following the maid sitting in her position, Yan Xiaye politely smiled.

Mr. Cas raised his glass to her indifferently, picked up the knife and fork and started to eat.

Angel stood up with her plate and sat warmly beside her, "Miss Yan, do you have anything you particularly like to eat? You can ask the chef to make it for you immediately."

"Thank you, I'm not picky about food."

Yan Xiaye smiled, looked down at the foie gras and steak on the plate, picked up the fork and tasted it.

Of course the taste is good, but it just doesn't arouse her appetite.

After barely taking a few bites by himself, Yan Xiaye couldn't help but think of the small cakes he had tasted in the Noel family. The pure sweetness makes people relax and comfortable.

Since leaving Jianghai, she has not been able to contact Li Yuntang, and the pressure she has been under is far greater than her imagination.

Sweets have always had magical effects that soothe people's hearts. She doesn't want to eat anything except sweet.

Wei Ru put down the knife and fork with wax. Yan Xiaye picked up the small cookie wrapped in tin foil and slowly opened it apart to reveal the chocolate-colored dessert inside.

After taking a tentative bite, Yan Xiaye opened his eyes slightly and tasted the refreshing sweetness and tranquility again.

On the side, Angel was dealing with the pudding of cherry cream. She scooped a spoonful of them in her mouth, squinted her eyes happily, "Miss Yan, please try this, it's delicious..."

As she said that, her eyes fell on the tin foil piled up in front of Yan Xiaye, and stopped halfway.

This abnormal attitude made Mr. Cas look here, staring at Yan Xiaye's happy expression with a deep look.

And Angel seemed to be at a loss and looked at the man as if she wanted help: "Cas, that cookie..."

If she remembered correctly, Cass said that the cookie was for special guests, and was mixed with strange medicine.

If she had known that Miss Yan was in poor health, she shouldn't have asked the other party to go out for fun with her...

"It's okay, Angel." He stopped the girl from continuing to speak casually. Mr. Cas looked at Yan Xiaye with great interest, "I didn't expect that Miss Yan has such a hobby."

hobby?

Yan Xiaye blinked his eyes, and then realized that he had eaten several pieces of cookies. The peeled tin foil piled up in front of him, which looked really exaggerated.

Realizing her mistreatment, she reluctantly put down the cookies she had eaten halfway through her hand and said embarrassedly: "I didn't have such a hobby before, but I just like to eat sweets recently."

Mr. Cass narrowed his eyes slightly, "...sweet?"

"Well, it's sweet." Yan Xiaye nodded gently, "This cake is just like Miss Alisha's specially customized, it's all delicious that you can't taste outside. Maybe it comes from the same baking workshop?"

Mr. Cass asked with a cold look on his face: "You suddenly started to like sweets because Alyssa gave you cake?"

This statement is inaccurate.

She doesn't remember reading any related reports, when humans are under too much pressure, they will rely on sweets to relax.

But Yan Xiaye could not admit her helplessness and responded vaguely: "Miss Alisha's cake is specially customized, and I heard it is only for banquets and parties."

Mr. Cas frowned without a trace and drank the red wine in his glass.

In a sense, this is not true.

In this country, some of the fun-inspiring drugs were originally within the scope of the law, and the nobles certainly could not be satisfied with the pleasures of the civilians.

Whether it is cake or cookies, the essence is the same, from the most sought-after new hallucinogens in the aristocratic circle.

Different effects can be achieved depending on the content of the drug.

The reason why it is made very sweet is to cover up the original bitterness of the medicine.

As a great merchant who often interacted with the nobles, Cass knew their preferences and ordered the servants to deliver this kind of dessert with ingredients as part of social etiquette.

As for whether to taste it, it depends entirely on the guests themselves.

After all, this kind of thing is well known in the circle. Whether it is cake or cookies, tin foil will be chosen as the outer packaging, which is a quiet reminder.

However, Alisa obviously did not follow such rules.

Mr. Cas pondered for a moment, and watched Yan Xiaye take away the last piece of the plate without controlling it, and immediately guessed what Alisha was going to do.

It seems that Alisha knows very well that the possibility of herself and Li Yuntang starting over is slim.

So, she tried every means to destroy Yan Xiaye, so that she could return to Li Yuntang.

A sarcastic smile flashed deep in his eyes. Mr. Cass did not stop Yan Xiaye from eating the last cookie and let the dinner continue as if nothing had happened.

As an outsider, he planned to let everything go, wait for Alisha's conspiracy to succeed, and then inform Li Yuntang of everything.

At that time, he is willing to secretly help Li Yuntang destroy the Noor family.

Alisa, however, suffered herself and could never reconcile with Li Yuntang. She had no reason and qualification to reject him again.

For him, this is a happy ending.

As for Yan Xiaye’s ending...

With careless curling the corners of his lips, Mr. Cass put down his knife and fork and ended the dinner.

...

In the next few days.

Yan Xiaye was with An Qier, temporarily giving up her idea of ​​running away from home.

Adam called Mr. Cas several times, but was rejected by Mr. Cas, and then he took the initiative to disappear.

When he learned the news, Yan Xiaye was eating the cookies sent by the maid. As usual, he called Li Yuntang several times a day, but the other party was in a shutdown state.

With a complicated mood, Yan Xiaye put down his phone and smiled at the maid: "Please tell me about my gratitude to Mr. Cas."

"I will, Miss."

The maid bowed slightly and walked out, leaving Yan Xiaye alone in the room.

She looked at An Jingjing's cell phone, and her calm mood gradually became uneasy and couldn't help but eat another cookie.

Mr. Cas said that this baking workshop is dedicated to nobles and all kinds of desserts are in short supply.

Although she would give her seven or eight yuan every day, she could only wait for tomorrow after eating it.

When his slender fingertips touched the empty plate, Yan Xiaye unconsciously frowned and began to calculate how many hours there were to be tomorrow.

Finally, she lazily lay on the bed, looking forward to the coming soon.

Just as she was weak and about to fall asleep, the long-silent cell phone suddenly rang.

Yan Xiaye suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't wait to answer: "I'm Yan Xiaye."

"I know." On the other side of the phone, the woman's voice was as cold as ever. "I heard from Cass that you have lived with him for a week. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass our Noel family?"

“…Alisa?”

Yan Xiaye's expectation was dashed, and he replied in a bad mood: "Since I am a distinguished guest, it is my choice wherever I want to live, so there is no need to ask you to approve it."

"Do you think I'll care?" Alisa sneered and fought back: "If it weren't for the little baby who wanted to see you..."

"Little Yunduo wants to see me?" He interrupted Alyssa in surprise. Yan Xiaye looked at the sky outside the window and got up from the bed with great enthusiasm: "Where is he? I want to see him."

In the past few days, she tried to contact Xiao Yunduo and received all the painless responses.

I thought Xiao Yunduo no longer needed her, so she ate the whole plate of cookies in one breath, and finally stopped the sadness in her heart.

Alisa said lightly, "I have said hello to Cass. There is a driver waiting for you, you just need to get in the car."

"good."

Without thinking, Yan Xiaye hung up the phone.

I looked at my clothes in the mirror, then raised my hand and patted my cheeks, trying to make myself look vibrant.

Walking out of the room, there were already maids waiting in the corridor.

About an hour later, the magnificent manor of the Noel family came into view again.

Yan Xiaye pursed her lips uncomfortable.

She really had no good feelings for this place, she just had to come.

"Miss Yan, please come with me."

The housekeeper respectfully bowed to her and took her through the deep corridor and walked towards an unknown destination.

Along the way, Yan Xiaye secretly thought about what to say to the little guy.

Until she passed the passage of time and hit someone head-on.

"sorry……"

She subconsciously apologized and then saw the man opposite clearly.

It was still the unfathomable dressing style. The light of dusk shone on the man, pulling his shadow for a long time.
