Chapter 430: Chapter 430
Qiao Xi nodded, "Yes, add salt to the egg whites, and then whisk them until stiff."
While Shen Dang was whisking the egg whites, Qiao Xi poured sugar and milk into the egg yolks and mixed them evenly.
Then she added flour and mixed it again.
The two of them each did their part, but in complete harmony.
There were still some granules in the batter, so Qiao Xi sifted it several times until the batter became smooth.
Qiao Xi was very pleased with it: "I’m done here."
Shen Dang stopped his movements.
Qiao Xi glanced at the egg whites he had whisked.
They had formed stiff peaks.
Qiao Xi gave him a thumbs-up, smiling warmly, "Well whisked, worthy of Boss Shen, good at everything you do."
Shen Dang laughed and asked.
Qiao Xi looked at him as if he were a fool: "Isn’t it obvious?"
His peach blossom eyes twinkled with a smile, "Since I did so well, how about a kiss?"
That rascal had shown his true colors.
Before Qiao Xi agreed, Shen Dang slightly bent forward in front of her; his chiseled profile faced hers, his finger on his cheek.
Boss Shen is so good at this!
He accommodated her height, while she looked straight at him.
Their outstanding faces together in one frame were particularly pleasing to the eye.
This scene was especially beautiful.
Boss Shen had done this much, now it was up to Qiao Xi to decide if she wanted to give the audience this treat.
There were several girls in the production team who, seeing this scene, excitedly covered their eyes, but then sneakily peeked through the gaps in their fingers at the monitor.
Qiao Xi moved closer to Shen Dang, and just as she was about to kiss him, her hand, which had covertly grabbed some flour, smeared it onto his face.
Seeing the flour stuck to his face, Qiao Xi laughed triumphantly like a little fox.
Her shoulders shook lightly as she laughed.
She seemed very happy.
Shen Dang touched it with his hand, saw the substance on his fingers, but wasn’t angered; instead, he just curved his lips into a smile, with profound meaning, "I’ll get you back tonight." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt
That smile was incredibly seductive.
As if one might easily be lured away by this male enchantress.
The girls excitedly said, "Director Sun, Director Sun, can we really broadcast this?"
Sun Ping casually replied, "Cut it out, our guests are properly baking a cake, why can’t we broadcast it, after all, we don’t know what Boss Shen meant by ’punishing’ Teacher Qiao."
Bei Bei’s face turned red when she heard Sun Ping’s comment.
Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "You better clean this up first, the cake isn’t finished yet."
"What’s the next step?"
"Mix the egg whites and the yolks together, pour them into the mold, and then it’s ready to go in the oven."
After mixing, they both poured the batter into the mold and ceremoniously placed the mold in the oven.
"Bake for forty minutes."
Qiao Xi opened the fridge and said to Shen Dang, "Yesterday Tutu and I went shopping and also bought cream, we can whip it and spread it on the cake base to make it even tastier."
"Alright, I’ll follow your lead."
Shen Dang continued to whip the cream.
Qiao Xi watched him for a while before she thought of something else: "I’ll go cut some fruit, let’s add a layer of fruit on top of the cake, what do you think?"
Shen Dang smiled and curved his lips, "Good."
While Qiao Xi was cutting the fruit, Shen Dang suddenly came up behind her, whispering mysteriously, "Xi Bao, I have something cool to show you."
Just as Qiao Xi turned around, her nose was grazed by Shen Dang.
The sweet scent of cream enveloped her instantly.
Qiao Xi looked down to see the white substance on her nose.
She glared at the instigator in front of her: "Shen Dang!"
Shen Dang tilted his head to look at her, his lazy smile hanging: "Our Sister Xi is still very pretty."
Is this about being pretty or not?
"Have you finished whipping the cream?"
Shen Dang brought over the bowl to show her: "Take a look, is this okay now?"
Qiao Xi studied it seriously for a few seconds, "It seems not stiff enough, whip it a bit longer."
Seeing him turn to leave, Qiao Xi quickly said, "You first help me wipe off the cream on my face."
Shen Dang’s gaze was burning as he stared at her for a few seconds, and just as Qiao Xi sensed something was off and was about to say no need, his breath suddenly closed in, and he licked off the cream from the tip of her nose.
Qiao Xi’s face flushed red instantly.
The photographer following them in the kitchen turned his head around.
Why must he suffer this assault!
In the room, the production team was in uproar.
Afraid their voices would carry into the camera’s range, they could only suppress their squeals.
Sun Ping thought, when the audience sees this, their reactions would probably be the same as theirs.
After an afternoon of hustle, Shen Dang and Qiao Xi successfully made a fruit cake.
It was a fresh experience between them.
Feeding the cake segment—still scripted.
Otherwise, Qiao Xi wouldn’t have been able to feed Shen Dang cake in front of the camera.
Shen Dang didn’t like sweets; Qiao Xi needed to control the sugar content, so they ate very little.
Eventually, the production team was in for a treat.
They all had a piece of cake.
Dinner was prepared by Shen Dang and Qiao Xi together.
After dinner, they went for a walk under the apartment building.
The first day of shooting ended.
According to the script, Qiao Xi had a challenge: to cook lunch and deliver it to Shen Dang’s company.
This indeed was a considerable challenge for Qiao Xi, a novice in the kitchen.
Qiao Xi exerted a lot of effort to make an acceptable lunch.
Several cars set off towards IDC Capital Building.
Qiao Xi was in the car with Sun Ping, a photographer, and Bei Bei.
Bei Bei asked, "Sister Xi, Boss Shen will definitely be surprised if he knows you’ve made lunch for him."
Qiao Xi paused for a few seconds and said, "You know I’m not great at cooking, so if this lunch is inedible, that will be a big surprise."
Bei Bei said cheerfully: "Even if it’s poison, Boss Shen would probably gulp it down without hesitation!"
"Cough!" Sun Ping interjected with a reminder, "We can’t talk about poison, let’s retake that."
Bei Bei continued with a grin, "Even if it doesn’t taste good, Boss Shen will surely gulp it down without hesitation!"
Qiao Xi smiled at the camera, "Alright, let’s remember what my assistant said, let’s see Boss Shen’s reaction later."
Her made-up face was up close to the camera; her features were still very striking.
Truly a Goddess of Divine Beauty!
The group arrived at the IDC Capital Building.
This was the first time Qiao Xi appeared so openly at IDC Capital, and this time she brought the production team with her.
They could be described as making a grand entrance.
Entering the company, as the receptionist knew about Qiao Xi’s relationship with the boss, they didn’t dare to neglect her.
The company was very busy, and news of Qiao Xi’s arrival at IDC Capital spread throughout the company in less than a minute.
Some employees even took out their phones to take pictures.
Sun Ping didn’t mind if people uploaded photos online since it was all publicity.
Why would he stop them?
