Chapter 451: Chapter 451

Jing Qiao’s cake-making skills naturally needed no mention, as she was more than capable of running her own store.

Su Lu was a bit less skilled.

"I’m not just a bit worse— it depends on who you’re comparing me to. If it’s you, then I’m way behind," Su Lu said as she whipped egg whites with an electric mixer.

Su Lu was very clear about her own abilities, which were limited to baking some small cookies, making rice cooker cakes, and pastries like egg tarts. Anything more complicated, and she was out of her depth.

"Don’t belittle yourself, sister-in-law. Doesn’t everyone start from knowing nothing?" Jing Qiao said with a smile as she watched her. "I think you’re pretty impressive. The only thing you’re missing compared to me is a biological father who pressured you into learning baking. If I could give you mine, would you want him?"

Su Lu shivered, "Thanks, but no thanks."

Jing Qiao pulled out a heart-shaped mold, barely able to suppress her laughter, and coughed lightly, "You’re going for such a straightforward approach? Sister-in-law, nowadays you don’t necessarily need a heart-shaped mold to express your feelings with a cake. Usually, round molds are used, and then there are many beautiful cake decorations that are quite stylish."

"I don’t need it to be stylish," Su Lu laughed. "I want it simple and straightforward, so that Bo Jingshen can clearly see the intentions of this country bumpkin. So it has to be a heart shape, and it has to be bright red."

"Bright, bright red?" Jing Qiao asked to confirm.

Su Lu nodded emphatically, "Bright red!"

Jing Qiao bit her lip, "Then... what color should we use for the writing?"

"Black!" Su Lu didn’t hesitate for a second.

Finally, Jing Qiao couldn’t help but ask, "Sister-in-law, you are... really a painter, right?"

Su Lu started laughing, "Why? Do you think my color choice is too devilish?"

"Yes... bright red with black lettering, those in the know understand it’s about expressing feelings, but those who don’t might think it’s some sort of... assassination note or something." Jing Qiao didn’t finish her thought and cleared her throat, "Black lettering it is, then. What should it say?"
