Married at First Sight Chapter 5059

Zeng Xiaoya’s eyes widened in amazement. “Zhan Yue, you’re a real gem! Digging deeper always reveals surprises. You can make such beautiful pastries! They look so appetizing, they must taste delicious!”

Zhan Yue handed her disposable gloves, then put them on himself. He picked up a petal-shaped pastry and offered it to Zeng Xiaoya. “Try it

and see if you like it.” Zeng Xiaoya took it, took a bite, and after savoring it, nodded. “Delicious! The sweetness is just right, not as sweet as the ones you buy outside. It also has a subtle floral fragrance.”

“Delicious, really delicious!”

Zhan Yue was relieved; he was glad she liked it.

Zeng Xiaoya ate several more pastries, and Zhan Yue poured her a glass of warm water.

“Zhan Yue, you could open a pastry shop! Your pastries are so beautiful and delicious, they could beat many pastry chefs.”

“Opening a pastry shop doesn’t make much money. It’s just a hobby. I make pastries in my spare time, some for myself, and if I have extra, I’ll give some to relatives and friends. If you like them, take a couple of boxes home tonight for your second uncle and aunt to try.”

“I made quite a few kinds, including children’s. When the little ones wake up later, I’ll give them some.”

At home, they have a habit of afternoon tea. Sometimes the pastries are made by the family pastry chef, and sometimes they make them themselves.

Grandma wants them to be well-rounded; even if they don’t particularly like something, they should still be able to produce something that satisfies her.

Zeng Xiaoya laughed, “I’m getting both food and treats!”
“What’s wrong with that? If you like it and think it’s delicious, that’s your approval. I’m overjoyed.”

“Since you say that, I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll take two boxes back for my second uncle and aunt to try later. My second aunt especially loves sweets, and my second uncle always says she should be careful of high blood sugar because she loves them so much. He usually keeps an eye on her and doesn’t let her eat too much.”

“The sweetness of your pastries is just right, and they’re delicious. I think my second uncle will like them too.”

“Okay, if they like them after you take them back, I’ll make some more pastries next time I have time and bring some back for you. Once I move into the house in Wansheng Garden and become your neighbor, we can exchange our homemade dishes.”

Zeng Xiaoya said, “Then you might be at a disadvantage. Although I can cook, my skills are just so-so. I can’t make any pastries, and I can’t even bake bread.”

“They only know how to make dumplings and wontons, nothing like what you’ve done. Grandma Zhan is truly amazing, raising you all to be so elegant and capable in the kitchen. No wonder so many girls want to marry into the Zhan family.”

They might not be after the young master’s good looks, but rather his excellence—he’s truly outstanding. He can earn money to support the family, cook all kinds of delicious food, help with housework and childcare, and isn’t a hands-off parent.

Zeng Xiaoya thought to herself, the more she learned about Zhan Yue and the Zhan family, the more she wanted to marry into the family herself.

However, the gap between the two families was too large; she couldn’t bear the hardships of marrying into a higher social class. She decided against it; being friends with the Zhan family would be good enough.

Zhan Yue smiled and said, “They want to marry, but we have to want to marry them too. We’re not that picky. As long as we like each other, have a good chemistry, can get along well, and have similar values, that’s fine.”

“They don’t necessarily have to come from a respectable family or be a good match for us. Our elders are very open-minded. Maybe it’s because we brothers got married late, but our elders have been urging us to get married a lot. They’ve even said that if we brought a man home, they would accept him.”
