CHAPTER 512: CHAPTER 512: PUFF PASTRY

Fan Yubing eventually left, still holding her head high as she departed, even giving farewell gifts to Housekeeper Chen and Wang Ma.

After she left, Yun Qiluo finally walked out from the back.

Glancing towards the door, she asked, "Fan Yubing came?"

Yan Yan lazily stretched out his hand towards her, and the young girl obediently sat on his lap.

The man wrapped his arms around her and reached for the bag beside him, placing it in her arms.

"Mm, she brought this for you."

Yun Qiluo was curious to see what had been given, and even before opening it, she caught a whiff of its aroma.

She quickly lowered her head to open it and found a large box filled with many cream puffs.

It was the same brand that Fan Xinglan had brought the other day.

She even painfully shared one with Fan Yubing back then.

She didn’t expect that today she would receive a whole box for herself, making Yun Qiluo feel that her actions that day were rather petty!

She should have given her two!

Yan Yan reached out to smooth her hair and asked, "Were you sneaking around eavesdropping just now?"

"No way, don’t talk nonsense!" Yun Qiluo immediately retorted, adding with an air of false bravado, "I was listening openly and honestly."

The corners of the man’s mouth curved up in amusement as he lazily said, "True, I even heard the sound of you eating chips."

Luo Luo’s face immediately turned red, she never thought he would discover her because of the sound of her eating chips!

Yan Yan asked, "What did you hear?"

"She was badmouthing me."

"Are you angry?"

"I was a bit at first," Yun Qiluo looked down at the large box of cream puffs in her hands and softly said, "but considering she gave me cream puffs, I’ll let it slide."

On that early winter afternoon, the warm sunshine spilled outside.

The whole villa was bathed in a golden, warm light.

Fan Yubing stood under the eaves waiting for the driver to bring her car around, looking at the familiar yard of the Yan Family.

She remembered that day, the young girl with her fair little hand pinching a cream puff, asking if she wanted one.

Her voice was soft, with a childlike innocence.

Her eyes were clean and sincere.

As if it had happened just yesterday.

Fan Yubing couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.

At that moment, the driver got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for her, "Miss, it’s time to go."

Fan Yubing pulled her thoughts back, smiled, nodded, and got in the car.

Watching Housekeeper Chen and Wang Ma bow and wave goodbye from outside the window, she waved back to them.

As the car drove towards the gate of the Yan Family, she finally withdrew her gaze, her eyes slightly dimmed.

Today marks the complete farewell to the feelings buried deeply in her heart for the past ten years...

The sunlight poured through the car window, illuminating her beautiful yet spirited face.

As she left the Yan Family, her eyes gradually filled with sunlight, becoming bright.

.

The next day, Yun Qiluo brought two cream puffs to Song Shijia as a consolation for not being able to accompany her shopping and to the concert yesterday.

While eating, she praised, "Mm, this is really quite delicious," and then asked, "By the way, what was that about a love rival you mentioned yesterday?"

So Luo Luo recounted the whole incident with Fan Yubing.

Song Shijia was so engrossed she forgot to eat her cream puff.

She had naturally heard of Fan Yubing, the only female friend of Yan Yan, and also Fan Xinglan’s sister.

Oddly though, there had never been any romantic rumors about her and Yan, suggesting they probably just had a naturally friendly relationship.

Who would’ve thought... she secretly had a crush on Yan Yan all this time?

She really hid it well.

Yun Qiluo scratched her head and said, "I originally thought she was quite bad, but now I feel she’s actually pretty nice."
