Chapter 93: Homemade Cake

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The wedding was finally over. The two lovebirds were happily married.

Recently, she had been so busy with other people’s business that she forgot Chu Liyuan’s birthday was tomorrow. How should I celebrate it for him?

I wonder how Uncle celebrated his previous birthdays?

That’s right! She could ask Grandpa. Who would know better than Grandpa?!

Jian Dan went to the family residence…

“Grandpa, I’m here.”

“Little Jian, you’re here!”

The moment Jian Dan entered, she saw Grandpa watering the flowers in the courtyard.

“Grandpa, let me help you!”

Jian Dan wanted to take the watering can from Grandpa.

“No need, no need! I was just too bored, so 1 found something to do.”

He handed the watering can to the gardener who was standing nearby… “Little Jian, why are you here at this time?”

“Hehe! I have something to ask Grandpa.”

Jian Dan gave a fawning look…

“Ask me? What’s the matter?”

They went into the living room. Grandpa sat on the couch and took a sip of tea from the teacup on the coffee table.

“Well, isn’t it Uncle’s birthday tomorrow? I want to celebrate it for Uncle, but 1 don’t know how Uncle celebrated in the past, so 1 wanted to ask Grandpa for reference.”

Jian Dan looked at Grandpa with anticipation.

Grandpa sighed deeply and placed the teacup back on the coffee table. He looked at Jian Dan helplessly.

Why would Grandpa have such an expression?

“Little Jian, Liyuan hasn’t celebrated his birthday in a long time.”

“Why?”

Is it because he’s old? So he doesn’t like to celebrate birthdays? But aren’t girls the ones who are like this?!

“Ever since Liyuan’s mother passed away, he stopped celebrating his birthday. It reminded him of his mother.

“Liyuan has been a heavy-hearted child since he was young. He likes to hide things in his heart and bear them silently by himself.”

“But, would he not think of his mother just because he didn’t celebrate his birthday?”

“Maybe he doesn’t want others to see him missing her! Every year on this day, he would disappear all day. No one knew where he went.”

Disappear? Where would Uncle go? From what Grandpa said, Uncle would definitely go to a place related to his mother, right?

“Grandpa, do you know if there’s anything memorable place for Uncle and his mother?”

“Liyuan’s mother had always been busy with work when she was alive. There doesn’t seem to be any… Oh, I think there’s a place; Liyuan’s mother had an art studio.”

“Art studio? Where is it?”

“I don’t know. Only the two of them know about that place.”

Even Grandpa didn’t know. What should she do?

Did he just say that it was an art studio?

That’s right! That time…

She seemed to have been there before.

She remembered the first time she and Uncle… The room she woke up in seemed to be an art studio!

She had found it strange at that time— why were there so many paintings in the house?However, she did not read too much into it at that time.

Now that she thought about it… It should be that place!

Since she already knew, the next step was to make preparations.

In the past, Uncle was always alone. But today was his birthday; Jian Dan would definitely not let him be sad alone.

Jian Dan went straight to the kitchen when she got home. She had been learning how to bake cakes recently and was going to bake one for Chu Liyuan.

Uncle liked coffee, so Jian Dan decided to make tiramisu…

Jian Dan placed the mascarpone cheese, light cream, coffee wine, cocoa powder, ground coffee powder, and eggs on the kitchen counter.

Of course, the first step was to bake the cake base. However, Jian Dan tried a few times without success. She had no choice but to ask their chef—Mrs. Fang to help her bake it in the end. However, the rest was done by Jian Dan herself!

From beating eggs to whipping cream… Jian Dan specially chose a heart-shaped mold. She mixed the coffee powder in the coffee wine and soaked the cake base in it before placing it in the mold. Then, she added a layer of cream and a layer of cake that was dipped in coffee wine. She added a layer of cream and a layer of cocoa powder. Finally, she popped it in the refrigerator.

Just as Grandpa said, Chu Liyuan really did not come back tonight. He only called Jian Dan and told her that he had to work overtime in the office and would not be home tonight.

Jian Dan knew what was going on, so she did not ask further..
