Completing her task

Su Suyin was disappointed when Li Caiyi came alone, but she quickly urged her to sit down and choose anything she liked. 

Li Caiyi stared at the variety of cakes on top of the table. Her mouth was salivating when she glimpsed a lemon tart among them. 

Usually, her mother would ask her to wait for Li Chunhua to come back first before letting her choose first before Li Caiyi could choose whatever she didn't pick, but now Li Caiyi didn't need to hesitate anymore.

Su Suyin poured both of them a cup of tea before smiling at her eldest daughter, whose eyes were glittering as she took a bite of her tart. "How is it?"

"It's delicious! Mother, eat some of this too," Li Caiyi replied energetically.

"I'm content just watching you eating it so happily. It's been a while since we can sit together like this, isn't it?"
