Chapter 1202

This is a very ordinary sweet shop, without luxurious decorations but clean and tidy, exuding a sense of exquisite charm.

The owner of the shop was an old lady who, upon seeing the two enter, greeted them warmly and led them to a seat by the window.

“Jin, this must be your girlfriend, right?”

Unexpectedly hearing the old lady say this, Baili Xia’s face turned red instantly.

She quickly shook her hands and said, “No, no, we are just friends.”

Watching Baili Xia’s embarrassment, Dongfang Jin merely smiled without offering any explanation.

He looked at the old lady, gently saying, “Mrs. Chen, how’s business?”

Mrs.

Chen was eyeing Baili Xia intensely, as if sizing up her own future daughter-in-law.

Distracted by Dongfang Jin’s question, she responded absentmindedly.

“Not bad, it’s usually quiet here, but I don’t know why, there have been more people recently, they come at the same time every day.”

Suddenly coming back to her senses, she said apologetically,

“Look at me, I forgot to ask what you would like to eat. Jin, what does your girlfriend like? Tell Auntie, I’ll go get it for you.”

Clearly, she believed that this beautiful girl and Dongfang Jin were definitely in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Just that the girl was too shy to admit it.

“Get her a vanilla ice cream, a matcha pudding for her, and I’ll just have an iced coffee,” Dongfang Jin ordered.

“Alright, wait here a moment.” Having said that, Mrs.

Chen turned around to prepare their order.

Looking at Dongfang Jin, who was calm and collected sitting across from her, Baili Xia gave him a fierce glare.

This person, not rushing to clear up the misunderstanding, must be doing this on purpose.

“Do you come here often?” How are you so familiar with the shop’s owner?

“Mm, from time to time,” Dongfang Jin replied nonchalantly.

“That explains how well you know the owner, but,” Baili Xia looked at him, still puzzled.

“You don’t like sweets, so why come to a sweet shop?”

Although the iced coffee is also a specialty of the sweet shop, the one he drinks is pure, which means very bitter.

It doesn’t really have much to do with sweets.

A person who doesn’t like sweets, visiting a sweet shop frequently, isn’t that strange?

Dongfang Jin did not respond, neither confirming nor denying.

Familiar or not, one could tell just by Mrs.

Chen’s attitude towards him, and as for whether he likes sweets, isn’t this girl the clearest on that matter?

In the past two years at East Manor, the chefs were all proficient in making desserts.

But, every time the desserts were made, didn’t they almost all end up in her stomach?

He came across this shop unintentionally, and the owner reminded him of a maid at East Manor, one who had a pretty good relationship with this girl.

Seeing the desserts made by Mrs.

Chen was like seeing those served by the maid from before.

Back then, there was always a little girl by his side, gobbling up the food voraciously.

That whole year, she was no longer by his side, yet he couldn’t forget those scenes.

So, his frequent visits to this place were just to reminisce something.

However, these words were no longer appropriate to share with her.

“Those people Mrs. Chen mentioned who come regularly, you arranged that, didn’t you?” Baili Xia suddenly leaned in and asked in a lowered voice.

Dongfang Jin slightly raised his eyebrows.

Even though it was a simple small gesture, it didn’t escape Baili Xia’s eyes.

She still leaned in close, batting her clear eyes: “What’s the matter? Guess I hit the nail on the head?”
