Chapter 666 - Subtle Envy

Chapter 666 Subtle Envy
There were only three people chosen in the comment section out of the mountain of hopefuls. The person chosen could be said to be the European King.
Soon, the name list of the three people appeared. The corresponding three prizes were the Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce, a Saliva Chicken, and a mini four-inch cake.
However, Su Yayan never expected that the four-inch cake would end up on Dou Tianyi’s desk.
“This is what that host made?”
Li Yue stood in front of his desk with a slightly uneasy expression. “Yes. However, it’s said to be a prerecorded video this time. The prize will only be drawn on the second day, so it might not be personally made by that host. Furthermore, this time, she seems to have specially prepared it for her husband’s birthday. The food she made isn’t medicinal cuisine, so it might not be verified immediately.”
Dou Tianyi’s expression was uncertain, and he did not speak for a long time. Li Yue’s heart also skipped a beat.
“It’s fine. Be careful next time.”
Only then did Li Yue heave a sigh of relief. Following that, his gaze couldn’t help but drift to the small piece of cake on the table.
“Then this cake…”
“Cake?” Dou Tianyi raised his brows and saw through his thoughts. “You want to eat it?”
Li Yue’s expression stiffened, but he did not refute. It was obvious that Dou Tianyi was right.
“Leave the cake here. You go out first.”
Even Li Yue, who had been with Dou Tianyi for a long time, couldn’t help but reveal a disappointed expression. Since the cake was left behind, there was definitely none for him.
Even though it was something that he had expected, he still felt a little disappointed when his last hope was dashed.
He had carried this thing all the way back, and the subtle fragrance that floated out from time to time really tested his professionalism as a secretary. It almost made him lose control and forget his duty to gobble it on the way back!
Dou Tianyi took in Li Yue’s reluctant look as he turned back time and time again, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.
After Li Yue left the office, Dou Tianyi reached out and took the cake.
There was a layer of white cream on the fluffy bread. Due to the hot weather, the edges of the cream had already melted. There were three large strawberries on top of the cream. They were bright, fresh, and looked especially juicy.
Dou Tianyi opened the box outside the cake, but his gaze fell on the video on the screen.
Su Yayan’s recording was playing, and it had reached the end of the video.
Su Yayan had edited this part and only showed the process of making noodles and explaining the meaning of the Longevity Noodles. She had cut the part where she almost fell down.
Since she was not the one who made this dish, the video did not capture the final product.
It was only after the lucky draw this morning that Su Yayan asked Aunt Fang to send the video she recorded yesterday to the comments section.
“Longevity noodles…” Dou Tianyi looked at the bowl of finished noodles in the comments section and pondered.
For someone like him who had been sentenced to death the moment he was born, wasn’t longevity an unreachable hope?
With this thought in mind, Dou Tianyi put a piece of cake into his mouth with a fork. It was sweet, soft, delicate, exquisite… warm.
It was completely different from the food cooked by a certain someone full of intent and currying favor.
At that moment, Dou Tianyi suddenly felt a little envious of that man. He was the man that his wife loved deeply and spent so much effort to make a table of delicacies just to give him an unforgettable birthday.
