V2: Chapter 72: I Made This Cake
“If I truly owe him a great debt of gratitude, if he gave me a second chance at life, then when he tries to take my life back, I will choose to return it to him. That is my choice.”
Liang Lin stared intently at Octaville. “Of course, this is just my personal choice, it doesn’t mean everyone has to do the same.”
Octaville chuckled.
“Hmm, I respect your choice, but doing this will cause a lot of trouble for those who love you, like… me and Liang Di, and your sister.”
Liang Lin was taken aback.
“Liang Lin, I’m not trying to lecture you or anything, but I think, well, I was quite young back then, so don’t take my nagging to heart. I was just saying what I wanted to say.” "
Octaville saw Liang Di arrive and slowly stood up, pulling out a chair for her to sit down.
Liang Di, having just arrived and overheard their conversation, wasn't quite understanding. She looked at Octaville, then at Liang Lin, bewildered, about to ask something, but Octaville interrupted her.
"Sometimes, people tend to neglect those around them. After sitting by a fireplace for a long time, people forget that the fireplace provides warmth, and this becomes a common occurrence. A fireplace has no life, but people do. It's not about selfishness or anything, but I think that sometimes, one can't only consider oneself and one's own inner convictions."
Octaville smiled gently.
"Otherwise, it will hurt and sadden those who love you."
Liang Lin fell silent again.
To be honest, she had never considered these things before.
Now, thinking about what the other person said, it seemed true. She had always been focused on her own firm beliefs, never truly putting herself in other people's shoes or considering their feelings.
"Octaville, what are you talking about?" Liang Di frowned, her tone slightly dissatisfied.
But then, she staged a dramatic change of expression, adopting a sweet, obedient demeanor towards Liang Lin, even her voice becoming cloyingly sweet, "Sister Liang Lin, what were you talking about just now? It sounded so interesting, can you tell me?"
Octaville: "..."
"Hey, you little rascal, you're not holding back at all now, are you?" Octaville pretended to be heartbroken, her face full of pain, clutching her chest.
Liang Di seemed not to hear her words, and began to fawn over Liang Lin, "Sister Liang Lin, didn't you always say you didn't like sweet desserts?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Liang Lin's reaction was still indifferent, maintaining a certain distance from Liang Di. Perhaps she was used to being rejected, showing no discouragement whatsoever.
"So, I prepared a newly developed cake for you, oh, no, not just a cake, but other things too. I think it's delicious, Sister Liang Lin, I'll have someone bring it over for you to try."
After saying that, Liang Di waved her hand, signaling for the food to be brought over.
It had a round and full shape, as perfect as a full moon. A layer of delicate cream covered the surface, like soft clouds, shimmering alluringly in the sunlight. The cream was soft and smooth, melting in the mouth and leaving a lingering sweet aroma.
The cake was decorated with various fruits and chocolates, like colorful jewels adorning the white cream, adding a touch of liveliness and vibrancy. Each fruit was carefully selected, brightly colored, and delicious, perfectly blending with the cake's sweetness.
Cutting the cake open revealed a soft and delicate interior, each layer filled with a rich milky aroma and a subtle sweetness. The cake had rich layers and a delicate texture.
Yes, that was Liang Di's description of the cake.
Liang Lin looked at the cake in front of her with skepticism.
"Uh, it looks so greasy, I don't really want to eat it."
Liang Di drooped her head, looking like a pitiful wounded puppy.
Octaville was furious and started jumping around, looking at Liang Di like she was looking at an unfilial daughter.
"No, I'm right here! Your old mother's right here! Why didn't you ask me if I wanted to eat? You just asked her! It's like you've forgotten your mother now that you have a wife, okay?!"
Liang Lin retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have absolutely no relationship with her, okay?!"
"Oh... I see.... I'm sorry..."
Liang Di became dejected again, lowering her head, on the verge of tears.
"Fine, fine, I'll try it, I'll try it. Don't make that face, it's annoying." Liang Lin is being sarcastic again.
Sunlight streamed onto the exquisite cake in front of Liang Lin, casting a golden halo over her serene face. Upon closer inspection, the cake was indeed beautiful. Her eyes widened as she gazed at the sweet and tempting cake, as if the entire world had been condensed into this small piece of dessert.
On the cake, delicate cream floated like clouds, adorned with colorful jams and fresh fruit, emitting a mouthwatering aroma. Liang Lin carefully picked up a small fork, and under Liang Di's expectant gaze, gently scooped off a small piece of cake and put it in her mouth.
Liang Di immediately beamed.
It was a cake she had made herself, and now, seeing her beloved eat the cake she had made, she was naturally overjoyed.
Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!"
Liang Lin's eyes lit up.
The cake's sweetness was just right, not overly cloying, but rather carrying a subtle, refreshing fragrance that lingered pleasantly. The creamy smoothness of the cream and the soft texture of the cake intertwined on her tongue, creating an indescribably wonderful taste.
It actually did seem quite delicious, but saying something like, "Wow, this is so delicious!" wouldn't fit her persona. As a villainous heiress, she naturally had to praise this delicious cake in a wicked way.
"Hmm, it's alright, barely edible, a little better than other cakes."
Liang Lin wiped her mouth, feigning composure, but her eyes never left the cake, a satisfied and happy smile playing on her lips. She had never tasted a cake so delicious and wanted to take another bite immediately.
She closed her eyes, as if she could feel the sweet flavor dancing on her tongue and rippling through her heart. At that moment, all her worries and sorrows seemed to vanish.
However, with so many people in front of her, especially Liang Di, she absolutely couldn't show that side of herself.
"Hehe~"
Liang Di also smiled contentedly and revealed the truth, "Sister Liang Lin, I made this myself."
"What?!"
