Several women were still fantasizing that Ye Ruoxue would return with good news.
At the very least, she would bring a way to save A'niu.
So they didn't really take to heart the worried expressions of the three men present.
What's so bad about living in self-deception?
"Sisters, you must be hungry after rushing here overnight. Try this pastry, it's the tastiest one our family makes."
Ye Ruoshuang stood up, carrying the pastries to Sister Hong and Sun Yingying.
Neither of them had much of an appetite.
But they didn't want to refuse Ye Ruoshuang's hospitality.
They picked up a piece just for show.
Sister Hong was okay, but Sun Yingying owned a restaurant.
She was particularly sensitive when it came to food.
She put a piece of the pastry into her mouth.
"Mmm, it's soft and sticky, really quite delicious."
Sun Yingying's face showed her enjoyment.
Sister Hong also started to eat more carefully.
Indeed, it was delicious.
