Chapter 198: Leave the Clothes Behind
Qin Xiangnuan’s fingers paused slightly, she lowered her head, and continued to knead the dough, "Brother Jian, I can manage here. Now..." She felt it shouldn’t be six o’clock yet. Should she really let him stay here? That would be quite odd, and she didn’t want to disturb his rest.
"Alright then."
Jian Zhiqing didn’t insist, "I’ll go back then and come over again later."
"Sure," Qin Xiangnuan’s smile grew wider at last, and she felt a bit more relaxed. In truth, if Jian Zhiqing stayed, she wouldn’t even know how to proceed; she feared she might even burn the cakes. How long has it been? She’s been kneading the dough over and over, and the cakes aren’t even on the stove yet.
Jian Zhiqing tightened his clothes around himself, turned around, and left. Only the dim yellow streetlights illuminated the ground, stretching his figure very long. Qin Xiangnuan just gazed dazedly at the man’s silhouette, until she could no longer see him. That’s when she came back to her senses, and it seemed like the cakes in the pan started to emit a burnt smell.
Oh no, she quickly lifted the lid off the pan and took out the cake. And indeed, it was burnt. Burnt it is, it looks like she will have to eat it herself when she gets home.
She continued kneading the dough and making cakes. With two stoves, it was certainly faster. In a little while, five cakes were already set out on the table. By this time, there were also people on the street. When the regular customers came by, she would take the initiative to tell them that she would be moving to the small house by the park in a couple of days. Everyone teased her about expanding her business.
