"This is where?"

Gu Shuyan's car was parked in an ordinary residential area, or to be more precise, an old residential area. The wall under the anti-theft window was stained with rust, and some of the wall skins were painted with inconsistent colors, which should have been added later. The roads in the residential area were still made of cement, and there was almost no greenery except for a patch of grass.

"This is my home, but I bought it in someone else's name. Mr. Li wouldn't be able to find it even if he checked. Besides, the surveillance cameras here are just for show. As long as you don't leave the community, no one will find you."

Gu Shuyan and Tong Nuanwan got out of the car.

"You stay here for now. I won't come back until you have thought it through."

Tong Nuanwan pulled the suitcase and followed Gu Shuyan.

Gu Shuyan's house is on the third floor of an apartment building. The corridor is ordinary and there is not even a security door. I don't understand why Gu Shuyan lives here.

With a click, the door opened and a sweet fragrance wafted out.

Tong Nuanwan walked into the room, Gu Shuyan turned on the light, and the room was a different world.

Living room, oh no, it should be the kitchen.

The entire living room is filled with kitchen utensils, and the kitchen utensils are all tools for making cakes.

“Is this your secret base?”

"You can say that, or more precisely, it's the dream base, come here."

The house was not big, with only two rooms. Gu Shuyan took Tong Nuanwan to one of the rooms.

"That's the study, and this is the bedroom. You can live here."

"Can you make cakes?"

"Opening a cake shop has been my dream since I was a child," Gu Shuyan poured a glass of water and handed it to Tong Nuanwan. The room was small and they could only sit on the bed. "My family members' greatest tolerance for me was that I could invest in a cake shop but not make cakes. I really wanted to do it, so I bought this house without telling my family and put all the cake utensils in it. When I have nothing to do, I come back here and develop new cakes."

Gu Shuyan took a sip of water.

"When I graduated from college, my parents wanted me to continue my studies, but I stopped going to school because I wanted to help my parents earlier and learn how to make cakes. Later, I invested in a cake shop for various reasons. Until now, my parents don't know that I can make cakes. In the whole Gu family, only my younger brother knows."

Tong Nuanwan looked at Gu Shuyan with a hint of surprise and a hint of admiration.

In Tong Nuanwan's opinion, the Gu family is powerful and influential, but their children actually need to learn to bake cakes secretly.

"In my parents' eyes, they didn't train me to marry into a business relationship and expand the family's influence. They hoped that I would be capable and be able to control my own destiny. Sometimes I think back and wonder if I really control my own destiny. I can't even tell my parents about my favorite cakes. I like them very much and the cakes I make are delicious."

Gu Shuyan looked at Tong Nuanwan.

"Wanwan, maybe your CEO Li is also so helpless. He may not like running Li's business, but due to family pressure, he still has to run it and push Li to a higher level. Just like me, if the entire Gu's business was handed over to me, I would rather go to Xiaoshuiwa to make cakes. Many of the cakes in Xiaoshuiwa are made by me personally. Every new cake is developed by me personally, but my parents who love me the most will never be able to taste it. Isn't it a pity for me?"

Tong Nuanwan held the water cup tightly and rubbed the surface of the glass gently.

"It's too late today. I won't say any more. Go to bed early. When you have figured it out, you can leave. You can use this place indefinitely."

After Gu Shuyan finished speaking, he came to the living room, touched the tools for making the cake, sighed, turned around and left.

The whole room became quiet, with only the sweet scent in the air showing the owner's love for this place.
