It was impossible for Wen Li to have dinner with Huo Yuanchen.

She said she was not hungry, declined his invitation, got the vaccination and prepared to go back.

On the way, she received a call from Michelle Yim, asking her if she was free and inviting her to sit in the cake shop and try the cake recipe that Michelle Yim had just come up with.

Wen Li knew that Huo Yuanchen was going to have dinner with his students and was definitely not in Michelle Yim's cake shop at the moment, so he readily agreed and drove over.

Michelle Yim was already waiting for her with the freshly baked cakes. Each cake was very beautiful. Wen Li could not resist cute and beautiful things. She felt itchy when she saw them. She remembered that she happened to have professional photography equipment with her, so she took it out without saying a word and started taking a lot of photos of the cakes.

"Aunt Qi, you are amazing. You can make so many different kinds of cakes."

She gave Michelle Yim a thumbs up and said, "Next time I come over to take another photo, your cake book can be handed over to the publisher. My friend has been waiting anxiously for a long time."

Maggie Cheung was so excited that her face was flushed. For so many years, she had been regarded as a canary who only depended on her parents and husband. She had to give up her only hobby because Huo Mingqi didn't like it. Only from the moment Wen Li encouraged her to open a cake shop, she seemed to have found the direction of life again.

She smiled and said, "I have too much free time. I don't have to manage the company. Yuanchen has been worrying me since he was a child. I don't have anything to do every day, so I have plenty of time to think about these things."

After a pause, he said a little embarrassedly, "I didn't know before that time could pass so quickly. I actually feel a little busy now. This is incredible."

Wen Li smiled and said, "Time will indeed pass quickly when you can do what you love. Just wait and see, the cake shop is not well-known yet, and your busy life has just begun. You will be busier and busier in the future."

Maggie Cheung smiled from ear to ear and said, "It's better to be busy. I used to be too idle and bored."

Michelle Yim asked Wen Li again if he wanted to have dinner with her.

Wen Li was a little surprised, "Don't you have to go home and cook dinner for Uncle Huo?"

Michelle Yim's smile became a little forced, and she said, "Zhang Li is back and came to the head office to make a report. Your Uncle Huo has been a little busy recently."

Wen Li immediately said, "It just so happens that I haven't had dinner yet, so I'm sorry to have let Aunt Qi spend the money."

Maggie Cheung smiled happily at this moment, "I am more than happy to spend money on you."

The two went to a nearby restaurant to eat beef offal hotpot. Maggie Cheung said that beef must be paired with red wine, so she ordered a bottle of quite expensive red wine and drank it with Wen Li.

While waiting for the food, Michelle Yim said to Wen Li, "Yuanchen has been home more often to accompany me recently. I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me for being Versailles. Sometimes I feel that my home is too empty and the house is too big. When your Uncle Huo doesn't come back at night and the servants get off work, I'm really scared. I really hope someone can accompany me. Even if it's just making some noise at home, it's better than being silent all the time."

She looked at Wen Li tenderly, her eyes full of gratitude, "I know that Yuanchen moved out because he couldn't stand the weird atmosphere between me and his father. Now he can take the initiative to come back to accompany me. I am very happy and grateful to you. Xiao Li, thank you for changing Yuanchen and making him care about me as his mother again."

Wen Li said a little unnaturally, "Don't say that, Aunt Qi, I don't have the ability to change Huo Yuanchen."

Perhaps knowing what kind of person her son is, Michelle Yim smiled and did not continue the topic.

Only halfway through the meal, he said, "If you are not busy, come with me to the mall later. I always feel that Yuanchen has lost some weight recently. The clothes that fit him well before now seem to be loose."

Wen Li lowered his head and hesitated for a while, but still couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay."

When they were almost done eating, Michelle Yim received a call from Huo Yuanchen, "Dad didn't see you when he got home, and there was no dinner at home. I called you but you didn't answer. Let me ask, where are you now?"

Michelle Yim snorted coldly and said, "Your father came back early today. I thought he was going to have a meeting with Zhang Li at the company again."

The other side said, "Auntie Li is a senior executive of the branch company. She comes here regularly to report to Dad. This is her responsibility."

Michelle Chik said, "Don't speak for your dad. Zhang Li acts like an elite in the company all day long, but others don't know her, but I do. She went to a fake university and studied an unpopular major. With her education, it's impossible for her to get into Huo's company, let alone become a senior executive. When she reports on her work, can she understand the financial statements?"

Huo Yuanchen was silent for a while and said, "Dad is worried about you. It's too late and you haven't come home. Dad is afraid that something has happened to you."

"Then tell him not to worry about me. I'm fine. Wen Li and I had dinner together and drank red wine. It was so pleasant. Ask your father to go and have dinner with Zhang Li. I don't mind."

Huo Yuanchen paused and said a little speechlessly , "Then tell me the address of the restaurant and I'll pick you up. It's too late, and it's not safe to call a designated driver."

Without thinking too much, Michelle Yim told him the name of the restaurant.

When Wen Li heard that Huo Yuanchen was coming, he wanted to leave early.

Maggie Cheung tried to persuade her to stay, "Just sit here and eat your food. When that brat comes, just ignore him. Otherwise, it will seem like you are afraid of him."

Wen Li thought about it and it made sense. Besides, she was not too confident about Michelle Yim. After all, she was a wealthy woman and had been drinking. She was afraid that if she left first, Michelle Yim would be in danger.

The jewelry on Michelle Yim's hands and ears is so eye-catching that just now, other customers turned back and looked at them several times when passing by their table.

When Huo Yuanchen arrived, he saw from afar that Wen Li's big watery eyes were tinged with a hint of drunkenness, and when he looked at his mother, his eyes were extremely seductive.

He walked over and sat down next to Wen Li naturally. He picked up the almost empty bottle of red wine and shook it, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you two drink all this?"

Wen Li's face was flushed, and she didn't know whether it was because she was drunk or embarrassed. She explained lazily, "Aunt Qi is not in a good mood..."

Maggie Cheung interrupted her and corrected her, "Who said I was in a bad mood? I was in a very good mood today, so I drank to celebrate. Let me tell you, today a returning customer came to my shop to buy a cake, and he praised the cake I baked for being delicious. Over the years, neither Huo Mingqi nor the brat have ever praised me."

Wen Li nodded in agreement, "Yes, you are right, we are drinking a celebratory drink."

Huo Yuanchen looked at the two obviously drunken women in front of him with a headache, and said with his hand on his forehead, "I'll take you back."

This "you" naturally includes Wen Li.
