Guan Liang hesitated for a moment and reminded her tactfully: "Meng Yao, I remember you... don't know how to make desserts? This is still difficult."
"I'm so smart, a simple dessert is no problem for me. And the first dessert cooked by a new student is more meaningful, isn't it?"
Guan Liang was convinced by her: "I rarely see you so serious. Seeing your relationship getting better and better, Brother Liang is also happy for you. Family is really important."
"Getting better and better?"
"Yes, you mentioned Mr. Rong more and more often, and now you've taken the trouble to prepare a gift for him. And last time you came back from the show, Mr. Rong personally came to pick you up, right? See, isn't this getting better and better?"
Meng Yao opened her lips slightly as if to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

After experiencing countless baking failures, Meng Yao realized that one should not brag casually.
It turned out that she had no talent for cooking. Not only was she bad at cooking, but she also made terrible desserts.
Looking at the burnt biscuits in front of her, the dark color was enough to scare everyone away. Meng Yao sighed slightly, picked up a biscuit with her fingers, but was stopped by the master before she put it into her mouth.
"Don't eat this, it will upset your stomach! Don't be discouraged, as long as you practice hard you will be able to make delicious desserts. Not everyone is born with a certain ability."
Meng Yao felt mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and she didn't know which emotion was more important.
After several days of hard work, Meng Yao finally made edible cookies. She tasted them herself, and her frown slowly relaxed.
Although it can't be said to be very delicious, it is still eatable.
Meng Yao remembered that her cooking skills were pretty good in the modern world, at least she wouldn't starve to death. How come after going through several worlds, her cooking ability dropped to zero
The pastry chef praised her: "You are a fast learner, but I can sense your resistance to baking. I think the person who lets you prepare desserts must be someone very important to you."
The chef handed the beautifully packaged cookies to Meng Yao and said, "See you next time if there's a chance, Yaoyao."
Meng Yao took it and thanked him.

Knowing full well that biscuits would lose their flavor if left for too long, Meng Yao asked the driver to take her directly to Huanzhen headquarters.
She had a smooth journey except that she occasionally heard some employees talking about her, saying that she looked like the famous star Meng Yao.
Meng Yao looked around at the crowd. She remembered that there weren't so many people paying attention to her the last time she came here. Could it be because she has become popular again recently
She recently signed a contract with an internationally renowned luxury brand and her net worth has skyrocketed.
Meng Yao found the office relying on her memory and met Xia Yansen as soon as she arrived at the door.
Xia Yansen came out with coffee and was slightly surprised to see Meng Yao. "Meng Yao, why did you come here suddenly?"
"Why, I can't come?" Meng Yao teased.
"No, that's not what I meant. I meant... Forget it. You two are really weird."
Xia Yansen always finds similarities between Rong Wei and Meng Yao, for example, neither of them likes to give advance notice and instead launch surprise attacks.
He moved his eyes downwards, and when he saw the gift box in Meng Yao's hand, he was immediately surprised and asked, "Oh, is this a gift for Brother Rong?"
“It took a lot of thought.”
Xia Yansen was amazed: "This is the first time I see you come here with a gift so solemnly. Is this right? You should coax him more and stop him from being as ferocious as a Tyrannosaurus Rex all day long."
"Let's not talk about it now. I'm going in first."
Xia Yansen handed the coffee in his hand to Assistant Li who came over, and then personally helped Meng Yao open the door: "Come in, please."
The room was very quiet, almost silent.
But that man's observation ability has always been sharp, and he turned his gaze over the moment Meng Yao stepped in.
"Missed me?"
Meng Yao walked over quickly and put the gift box on the desk: "This is my gift for you, cookies."
Rong Yun smiled faintly and looked away. He tilted his head slightly and asked jokingly, "Is this the cookie you searched all over the mountain to find?"
"Of course not." Meng Yao's face showed some regret: "I don't know where the gift I prepared before was forgotten. Xiao Song and I looked for it several times but couldn't find it. So I prepared this cookie again. I hope you like it, husband."
Rong Yan smiled, and slowly opened the package with his long fingers. When he saw the cookies inside, his expression became unusually complicated: "Did you make this yourself?"
"Yeah, I put a lot of effort into learning this. Don't be fooled by its ugly appearance. Actually, the taste...is not that good either."
Rong Wei couldn't help but smile. He looked at her and said slowly, "I must admit that this is a unique gift."
"How do you like it?"
"like very much."
After getting a positive answer, Meng Yao suddenly felt that her hard work over the past few days was not in vain.
"You only gave it to me, right Meng Yao?"
Meng Yao didn't know what he meant, but she still replied, "I don't think I'll ever make such a troublesome dessert again."
Rong Yan's eyebrows were drawn with a smile. This was the first time Meng Yao saw him smile so happily. It must be said that he was very handsome. She unconsciously looked at him a few more times.
"How about you try it?" she asked, with a sense of urgency to gain recognition from others.
Rong Yun picked up a cookie and chewed it carefully, then gave her a positive answer: "It's delicious."
"Don't force yourself, just try it for the sake of taste." Meng Yao has a deep understanding of her own level. She herself cannot taste the delicious biscuits, but it must be difficult for Rong Ni, who is very picky about taste, to eat.
"Really, do you want to try a piece?"
Meng Yao half-believed and half-doubted, she took a cookie and stuffed it into her mouth. It tasted the same as before, nothing changed. She only ate one cookie and didn't want to eat anymore, and she reminded Rong Yun to eat less.
Due to the sudden emergency notice, Meng Yao had to leave in a hurry.
Xia Yansen walked in and saw that Rong Wei was in a good mood and couldn't help but teasing, "Isn't it Meng Yao who is more refreshing than coffee?"
He leaned closer to look at the gift Meng Yao prepared, but his expression changed the next second.
Cookies, cookies of very bad appearance, cookies that look unpalatable.
What’s even more shocking is that Rong Wei has already picked up the last piece, and the box is completely empty.
Xia Yansen said anxiously: "Wait a minute, Brother Rong! Can you eat this cookie? It will upset your stomach!!"
As expected, it was proved that Rong Wei would not listen to him at all.
Xia Yansen was silent for a while, and the image of the cookies of extremely poor quality appeared in his mind again.
First Meng Yao tested poison, then Rong Ge tasted cookies. Should we say this is karma or... true love
After a while, Xia Yansen heard Rong Yan's voice:
"Bring me some candy."
