Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession
Chapter 985: The Eightieth Birthday Part 6
The thoughts that overwhelmed Tian Tian suddenly made her look up at Li Mu across from her.
Alright, seeing Li Mu already turning away expressionlessly to look at the desk beside him, Tian Tian’s cheeks flushed.
"A Yao, Li Mu is right here!"
Bai Chenyao didn’t even bother to spare Li Mu a glance, continuing to urge Tian Tian.
"I want more!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Tian Tian: "..."
Li Mu: "..."
For God’s sake, saying such provocative things, could you please not say them so blatantly in front of him, sir?
Even if, truly, there was nothing to it!
But...he is still an adult man without a girlfriend, he’ll overthink it!
Li Mu started to seriously consider this issue again, maybe he should find a girlfriend too!
If it weren’t for the boss’s sharp gaze shooting over, Li Mu might still be lost in thought.
Seeing the boss’s impatient look, Li Mu glanced at the documents in his hand.
Alright, these tasks likely would fall on him again.
And those urgent files that required the boss’s attention, looking at the high pile on the boss’s desk, Li Mu took a deep breath.
Quietly gathered up those documents and walked out silently, without any expression, closing the office door behind him.
Tian Tian: "..."
Seeing the small woman in his arms being distracted by Li Mu, a flicker of coldness flashed in Bai Chenyao’s eyes, and his voice turned cold. But the way he held her remained gentle.
"What are you thinking?"
Her dark eyes moved back and forth, and Tian Tian suddenly remembered an important issue.
"I was wondering if making a single-tier cake would be too small, and wouldn’t be enough for all the people that will come!"
After all, though the Mu Family isn’t as influential as it once was, an emaciated camel is still bigger than a horse. Besides, Grandpa’s connections seem quite impressive.
"You’re still thinking of making it for others?"
Bai Chenyao’s voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
Tian Tian looked up at him, surprised, not understanding what he meant by that.
What does he mean by saying she still wants to make it for others?
"A Yao, you misunderstood. I meant if I make a small cake, there might not be enough to go around, and it’s mainly for Grandpa, but he can’t have the cake all to himself!"
Then, Tian Tian heard Bai Chenyao speak coldly.
"He can’t!"
All those cakes are his, no one else can think about it!
There’s no way Tian Tian could know what Bai Chenyao was thinking. She couldn’t guess, even if she racked her brains, that someone as handsome, cold, and imposing as Bai Chenyao would be so particular about such things.
Of course, Tian Tian also didn’t realize that this kind of particularity had a very piercing expression, commonly known as: possessiveness!
Hearing Bai Chenyao say, "He can’t," Tian Tian took it to mean she couldn’t just make a small cake, as it wouldn’t nearly be enough. Even if only token slices were served, it should at least be a three-tier cake!
Thinking of a three-tier cake, Tian Tian began to worry a little.
Counting times carefully, with only a day and a half before Grandpa’s birthday, she wondered if she could manage to practice making a three-tier cake in time.
Even though Bai Chenyao wasn’t fond of sweets, because Tian Tian made it, an eight-inch fruit cake disappeared between the two of them, one bite at a time.
Feeling full and a bit drowsy from the effort of making the cake, Tian Tian began to nod off.
"Get some sleep!"
Bai Chenyao’s deep, rich voice sounded by her ear, and Tian Tian, too tired to even lift her drooping eyelids, leaned directly against him.
