"It's 2 PM. Did you all forget to have lunch?" Bai Qing said helplessly as she offered the cake she brought back. "A new cake shop just opened nearby, and I bought some cake."
Knowing Tang Yue liked cake, Bai Qing bought quite a few, just in time for their lunch.
"Wow, Sister Qing is so nice." Tang Yue said, looking at the custard-filled cake, it smelled rich and delicious. She got up and said, "Xin Jiar, Sun Qing, Peng Yufei, you all must be hungry, right? Have some cake first, I'll cook some noodles for you."
There wasn't a lot of cake, and with four of them, having one man, just eating cake definitely wouldn't be filling.
"Sorry, we completely forgot about lunch," Tang Yue said somewhat embarrassed. It was their first day at work and they even missed lunch. She felt so incompetent as a boss.
"No need, having cake is good enough," Xin Jiar said cheerfully, grabbing a piece. The cake tasted very rich; they usually wouldn't even consider buying it.
Sun Qing was too shy to even take a piece at first, but eventually grabbed a piece along with Peng Yufei after Tang Yue encouraged her.
The sweet, delicious cake had a particularly rich eggy flavor, soft and melting as soon as it entered the mouth, sweet all the way through.
Peng Yufei had grown up in tough conditions, his sister was blind and couldn't do much, at home, being full was already considered good, let alone having cake.
It was the first time Peng Yufei ever tasted cake.
The situation for Sun Qing and Peng Yufei was similar, but Sun Qing was slightly better off, yet she had never had cake either.
"One piece of cake is enough for me," Peng Yufei said, eating the cake slowly.
Sun Qing quickly agreed, "That's right, the cake is enough for me."
"You guys don't be shy with these cakes, consider them as my treat," Tang Yue said, fearing they might be too shy to take more, she specially placed two pieces of cake into their hands, and the remaining went to Bai Qing. She said, "Sister Qing, I'm going to cook some egg noodles."
"No need," Xin Jiar and the others insisted, but Tang Yue didn't let their refusals change her mind.
Tang Yue quickly went into the kitchen and started cooking. They always had eggs and noodles stocked at home, so she simply took them out to cook.
Xin Jiar and the others felt embarrassed, they had eaten cake and now noodles too?
Soon Tang Yue called them to serve the noodles. Seeing the steaming egg scallion noodles, they not only had cakes but also noodles, filling up their bellies completely.
Not just Peng Yufei and Sun Qing, even Xin Jiar felt today's meal was the most delicious ever. It was unexpectedly clear, Tang Yue was not only pretty, but her cooking skills were also great.
The fried eggs were golden on both sides with some parts of the egg still slightly raw in the middle, those semi-cooked eggs were especially tasty.
"Burp."
Xin Jiar let out a satiated burp, rubbing her round belly, she couldn't help saying, "Tang Yue, the noodles you cooked are really delicious."
"If you like them, come earlier next time and I'll make you breakfast," Tang Yue said with a smile, without a hint of a boss's airs.
"No, it's fine," Sun Qing hurriedly refused.
Peng Yufei also declined, saying, "Tang Yue is our boss after all, it doesn't seem right to have the boss cooking breakfast for us."
"There's always a chance to eat together," Tang Yue said.

"I won't tell," Xin Jiar said excitedly, covering her mouth in a gesture of secrecy.
