Lin Xu had been waiting for these two to mess up. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

But he didn’t expect this kind of outcome.

They hadn’t even started making the mooncakes before they gobbled up all the filling.

Without a car, there’s no possibility of a crash.

However, it must be said, simmering the white chocolate, condensed milk, Butter, Milk Powder, and mashed egg yolks together does create an amazing flavor and texture.

The egg yolk is slightly salty, its fine grains giving a sandy texture in the mouth; the condensed milk is sticky and sweet; the white chocolate is both sweet and fragrant; and the Milk Powder adds richness and body.

This delicacy—sweet yet salty, salty yet fragrant, fragrant yet grainy—scooping up a generous spoonful into the mouth is indeed quite tempting.

If chilled, it might even be more satisfying than ice cream.

But eating like this, his sister-in-law was bound to gain three pounds during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was looking more like five!

On the other end of the phone, Shen Baobao was still worrying about making mooncakes.

"Xubao, I can’t make the mooncakes I promised you. What should I do?"

Without the molten filling, there’s no way to make Milk Yellow Mooncakes!

It’s all Yan Bao’s fault, insisting on tasting it for sweetness and saltiness, and then...

Lin Xu laughed and said, "If you can’t make Milk Yellow Mooncakes, just make regular milk custard mooncakes. That’s relatively simpler and easier to start with..."

In the world of Guangdong-style mooncakes, the Milk Yellow Mooncake is probably the most difficult to make.

That’s why Lin Xu was so surprised when he heard Shen Baobao intended to make that kind.

But if you remove the molten center, it becomes an easy-to-make, entry-level mooncake, perfectly manageable even for someone with little cooking experience.

Perhaps this ’dream team’, in their greed, would manage to whip up some mooncakes after all.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Jiayue’s face was filled with shock.

Without the molten center, it’s still possible to make milk custard mooncakes? Is it really that miraculous?

She said to Chen Yan, who was still scraping the sticky molten filling from the bowl with a spoon, "Yan Bao, stop eating. Xubao said we can still make milk custard mooncakes without the molten filling. Should we give it a try?"

Chen Yan, having eaten her fill, immediately wiped the cream from her mouth. "Sure, sure, it’s time to show off my cooking skills!"

In the store, Lin Xu hung up the phone. He was just about to go downstairs to watch the fun when he saw Wei Qian walking up the stairs, looking relaxed.

Uh... The fun hadn’t even started yet, and it was already over?

Later, once he was free, he’d have to ask Shu Yun what happened downstairs.

Hmm, this isn’t gossip; it’s concern for the staff’s well-being and mental health (serious face)!

"Lin Xu, I talked things through with Tiantian, and I feel so relieved. Thanks for your advice."

Lin Xu was utterly bewildered.

Just from the first half, it sounded like Wei Qian had rejected Tiantian and felt a wave of relief.

But then he thanked Lin Xu for his advice.

This... Lin Xu felt like he was watching a TV show that was going along fine, and suddenly the plot jumped ahead twenty episodes.

Just how much romantic melodrama unfolded downstairs while I took that phone call?

「Downstairs.」

Song Tiantian, sitting nervously at the service counter with her phone, was rapidly typing messages in the "Tiantian’s Singles Escape Squad" chat group:

"Boss Dou, Boss Shu, Boss Chen, Director Zeng: Wei Qian just came over and asked me to supervise his weight loss starting today. He said I have free rein to scold or even hit him... Do you think it’s because I didn’t let him win when we were biking tonight, and he got angry?"

Song Tiantian was somewhat at a loss when Wei Qian suddenly came over and said such things while she was handling the accounts. It just so happened that the banquet hall was wrapping up renovations today. Both Dou Wenjing and Shu Yun were there, leaving Song Tiantian with no one around to consult. So, right after Wei Qian left, she hurriedly messaged the group to seek the wise counsel of the advisors.

Chen Yan, the chief advisor, was about to adjust her batter when she heard her phone ring. Taking a glance, she broke into a grin. "Silly girl, he’s letting you hit and scold him. What’s there to fret about? This is a done deal."

Shen Jiayue, arms coated in batter, leaned in. "What are you mumbling about, Yan Bao?"

"Previously, Tiantian wanted to pursue Wei Qian but didn’t know how to begin, so she was asking for our opinions."

Our opinions?

Shen Baobao observed the group members with a hint of surprise. "You bunch of single dogs giving out advice blindly, aren’t you afraid of messing it up for her... Wait, why wasn’t I added to this group?"

Ha! So you all sneakily formed this little clique behind my back. And it seems it’s been more than a day or two. Impressive. I thought of you as sisters, but this is how you treat me!

Shen Jiayue’s pretty face fell. "One minute. If you don’t add me to the group within one minute, brace yourself for the relentless pressure from all the relatives to get married at this year’s Mid-Autumn family dinner. You have my word!"

Hmph, Baobao is not happy!

Chen Yan was aghast. !!!!!! It’s just a small group, and you want to drop the nuclear option?

She quickly added Shen Baobao to the group and, while holding onto her cousin’s arm, said, "Don’t be mad, Yueyue sis. Getting angry will make Xiongxiong shrink. Be good. Next time we make a group, I’ll add you first, or else may Shu Yun’s cup size shrink by one!"

The Mid-Autumn family dinner was always a room packed with noisy relatives.

Being pressured about marriage in that kind of setting would be a disaster.

So, it was crucial to soothe her cousin’s feelings quickly.

The words made Shen Baobao feel a bit better, but she immediately asked, "Why Shu Yun?"

"She’s a 36C, close to my 34D, so..."

Shen Jiayue was bewildered. ??????? As a 34E, I really don’t get the point of you bunch of chickens pecking at each other!

At ten o’clock in the morning, Lin Xu took out the chilled Dough from the refrigerator, spread a thin layer of starch in the mold, and then placed the slightly relaxed Dough into it.
