Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Yue Wanhan followed Benjamin to the imperial kitchen with suspicion in her heart, and all the while she was secretly wondering what he was up to.

When they finally arrived at their destination, Benjamin suddenly turned around and smiled at her. His handsome face instantly made Yue Wanhan's anger disappear.

Well, since he was not in love with me, how could it be my fault? At least he had never been hypocritical, sweet-mouthed, or deliberately played with other people's feelings.

Thinking of this, Yue Wanhan couldn't help but comfort herself, but she also felt that she was too weak and could be bullied.

She and her mother are really as close as blood! Not only is her aesthetic unique, but her temperament is also so stubborn.

Completely ignore the opinions of others and act only according to your true inner thoughts.

At this moment, Benjamin suddenly turned around and faced Yue Wanhan, a hint of guilt on his face, and said softly: "I have to apologize to you."

Upon hearing this, Yue Wanhan's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and the chill went straight to her bones.

What did this mean? Was it a slap in the face followed by a candy treat? She knew very well that Benjamin had no feelings for her, but why did she need to emphasize it again?

At this moment, she regretted it so much that she wished she could turn back time and cancel the appointment today. Wasn't this just asking for trouble, actively putting her face forward to be beaten?

Benjamin was completely unaware of this and was still laughing foolishly. It can be said that losing to Yongqi was not just a matter of appearance.

Benjamin had no idea that his simple words almost got him burned to death.

"What do you have to apologize for?" Yue Wanhan tried to hold back her tears, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Rejection is perfectly normal. It's just that I was too demanding and didn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

At this moment, Yue Wanhan felt mixed emotions, and the tears that were about to burst out seemed to drown her.

In fact, she didn't want to be so sarcastic. She wanted to be more free and generous and show that she didn't care about all this.

However, the reality was like an unbridgeable chasm before her, making it difficult for her to remain calm and composed.

Perhaps it was because she had not completely let go of it deep in her heart, or because the emotion was still lingering in her heart, Yue Wanhan could never really let it go. Perhaps only after Benjamin left the Qing Dynasty, with the passage of time and the precipitation of years, could she gradually let it go.

Benjamin on the other side seemed a little bewildered, as if he had no idea why Yue Wanhan's originally happy mood suddenly became so bad.

Did he accidentally say something he shouldn't have just said? Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but feel doubtful, and began to waver in his original intention of coming here today.

He wondered to himself, could he really get a chance to start over? After all, good luck never seemed to be with him, so how could he expect Yue Wanhan to agree to his request so easily?

For a moment, the originally ambitious mood was like being poured with a bucket of cold water and cooled down instantly.

Benjamin took a deep breath and tried to calm the surging emotions in his heart. No matter what, he decided to give it a try, because he was too timid in the past. But now, he wanted to be brave and fearless, even if it was only this one chance.

Even if the final outcome is not perfect, so what? It's nothing more than finding a corner where no one is around and crying silently... Thinking of this, Benjamin clenched his fists slightly and encouraged himself secretly.

"Wanhan, I plan to cook a unique dish to express my apologies to you." Benjamin sorted out his disordered thoughts a little and said to Yue Wanhan in a calm tone.

However, when Yue Wanhan heard the word "apology", her body tensed up involuntarily, and her nerves seemed to be ignited. Despite this, she still pretended to be indifferent and nodded expressionlessly.

In fact, what Benjamin planned to make was an exquisite and delicious cake. This kind of food is well-known and loved in Great Britain, but for people in the Qing Dynasty, it is an extremely rare or even unheard-of novelty.

Before, Xiaoyanzi had also tried to make cakes with great enthusiasm, but the results were not satisfactory. But this time, Benjamin was determined to do it himself and put his heart and soul into it, hoping to impress the beautiful lady with this delicious and affectionate cake.

“This mouth-watering delicacy has a beautiful and charming name – cake!

Its texture is so soft that it feels like being among the clouds; its taste is sweet and delicious, just like the first ray of sunshine in the morning shining into your heart.

I believe that once you have tasted it, you will be deeply intoxicated and unable to extricate yourself. I dare to conclude that you will also love it!" Benjamin said confidently, like a eloquent salesman, trying his best to sell his cake.

You know, there are few women in the world who can resist the temptation of cake. That's why Benjamin was so sure.

All the raw materials needed to make this exquisite cake were brought into the palace with the help of Hexi after a lot of twists and turns.

In return, he only got a small piece of the same delicious cake. Benjamin was full of gratitude for this friendship.

At the same time, He Xi may not have tasted such a delicious cake for a long time, and his heart is also filled with endless expectations.

However, at this moment, Yue Wanhan, who was standing aside, crossed her arms over her chest and watched Benjamin busying about with cold eyes.

He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Hmph! Is he trying to use this method to cover up the fact that he once hurt me? It's ridiculous!" Yue Wanhan thought proudly.

At this moment, Yue Wanhan's thoughts were running wild like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and she completely forgot an important fact - if Benjamin really planned all this carefully just to reject her, wouldn't it be too much trouble and effort?

What's more, if you really want to reject someone, you should choose to stay away from them and have nothing to do with them ever again!

But now, Yue Wanhan was already overwhelmed by the grievances and had no time to care about anything else. The only thing she knew clearly was that her innocent and beautiful girlish feelings had been shattered, without even a trace of residue left.

Thinking about it, the pleasing scene before my eyes is not so beautiful anymore.

Yue Wanhan snorted coldly and turned her face away, then she felt that she was too stingy and did not have the bearing that someone from a military family should have.
