Chapter 41: Just a Toy

"Of course, I missed you, Uncle. You haven't been home for days," Chi Yu spoke sweetly as she began unwrapping the box on the table.

"Staying at the company must be uncomfortable, and you probably haven't eaten well. I brought some snacks you love. Come and have a taste."

The aroma of chestnut cake filled the air, and Chi He immediately knew she must have visited that café near her middle school. Only their chestnut cake had this authentic flavor.

Accompanied by a rich cup of coffee, Chi He ate half a slice of cake, smiling at Chi Yu. "Why go out of your way to buy this cake?"

Although Chi He wished she had come just to see him, knowing her personality, that was unlikely. She must have had a reason.

It was always easy being around smart people.

Chi Yu opened her mouth as if to speak but then closed it again, making a show of hesitation, which told Chi He she was about to drop a bomb.
