The people at the scene were all greatly shocked. The statement carried so much information.

Gossip time!!!

What was going on between the young master of the Li family and Jiang Ling’er? It was clear that Li Yan had handed the cake to Jiang Ling’er, so why did Li Yu step in?

Li Yan furrowed his brow, feeling quite annoyed. He couldn’t understand why Li Yu felt the need to take over for Jiang Ling’er.

Jiang Ling’er, on the other hand, was utterly baffled. What exactly was Li Yu trying to do?

Wen Nuan couldn’t help but smile. Li Yu was quite cunning, using words with such significant implications to make sure everyone knew what was happening.

Zhu Xiaotong was filled with regret. If only she had acted without hesitation earlier, she could have claimed the cake that Li Yan personally cut.

Many others who shared Zhu Xiaotong’s thoughts were similarly remorseful for not stepping in earlier to help Li Yan.

Bai Xue stood beside the cake with an embarrassed expression. The previous incident felt like an invisible hand had slapped her in the face. She had wanted Li Yan to cut the cake and give it to her, but he had chosen to give it to Jiang Ling’er.

Bai Xue clenched her teeth and took a deep breath. She walked gracefully to the cake.

Bai Xue turned to Li Yu and said politely, “Mr. Li, it’s quite a surprise to see you here.”

This time, Bai Xue refrained from attempting any overtures.

Li Yu completely ignored Bai Xue and fed a small piece of cake to Jiang Ling’er with a fork.

Jiang Ling’er looked at Li Yu with disdain, not wanting to create any misunderstandings with this gesture. Her facial expression clearly conveyed her aversion.

Li Yu whispered softly, “Be a good girl. It’s the most delicious. If you don’t finish it, I’ll kiss you. I’ve even planned how to do it. Don’t get any funny ideas, you can’t defeat me.”

Jiang Ling’er was furious, her eyes burning with anger. She decided not to eat the cake that Li Yu had fed her. Instead, she took a bite directly from the slice on the plate.

Jiang Ling’er’s act of disregarding her image and fiercely biting into the cake made Li Yu want to laugh. Li Yu took the cake that Jiang Ling’er had bitten into and ate it.

Jiang Ling’er’s face became even more unpleasant. She looked as though she wanted to slap Li Yu in the face and send him flying.

Li Yu noticed Jiang Ling’er’s menacing gaze and couldn’t resist teasing her. He said in an intentionally ambiguous tone, “1 genuinely envy that piece of cake. It’s in your mouth.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling’er’s face contorted in disgust as she responded, “Really? Well, this cake will soon become poop. Do you want to turn into poop too?”

Li Yu chuckled at her words. This girl really had a sharp tongue.

Li Yan, who had been watching, asked, “Would you like another bite?”

Jiang Ling’er hesitated for a moment and replied, “Honestly, the cake is quite good. The craftsmanship of the chef is impressive, and the symbolism of the blue roses is meaningful. It’s just that overly delicious things can harm the body if consumed in excess.”

Li Yan reassured her, saying, “As long as you like it.”

Li Yan had personally made this cake, investing a lot of time in it. However, when the cake was presented, he didn’t see any joy in Bai Xue’s eyes, only growing annoyance and anger.

Strangely, Jiang Ling’er seemed to know the meaning of this cake.

Li Yan was aware that Bai Xue disliked the color blue, but he had chosen this theme to convey a meaningful message. The intention wasn’t to embarrass Bai Xue but to encourage her to be less calculating and to become pure, kind, and beautiful like the color blue.

However, Li Yan had overestimated Bai Xue. She had failed to grasp his intentions and had trampled on them. Given this, he had no desire to give her the symbolic first piece of cake.

Wen Nuan, who overheard Li Yan’s remark, pulled on Jiang Ling’er’s sleeve.

Jiang Ling’er looked at Wen Nuan, perplexed. She asked, “What’s wrong, Nuannuan?”

Wen Nuan whispered, “Ling’er, don’t you find it strange that these two, the uncle and the nephew, are talking so ambiguously? Aren’t you worried at all?”

Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated. What did she have to worry about?

Bai Xue watched as Li Yan and Li Yu interacted with Jiang Ling’er, and she felt a surge of anger and jealousy.

Jiang Ling’er had not only garnered Li Yu’s favor but was also attracting Li Yan’s attention. Li Yu might be trying to pursue Jiang Ling’er, but why was Li Yan suddenly trying to please her?

Could it be that Li Yan had changed his mind? This was not acceptable. Bai Xue couldn’t let Jiang Ling’er, that wicked woman, continue to revel in her success.

Bai Xue forced a smile and said, “Ling’er, there’s still plenty of cake left. I’ll go and cut another piece for you.”

Even though she said this, deep down, Bai Xue was seething with anger. It was her birthday, and the first piece of cake had been taken by Jiang Ling’er. She couldn’t stand it..
