Chapter 39: Not Embarrassed At All

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiyin had cooked a whole table of food, including cuisines from the southern side of the country, with a tasty appearance, nice fragrance, and delectable taste. One look at the food and one could tell that she had incredible culinary skills.

After cooking, she had no intention of leaving.

Ling Sheng thought the helper’s behavior and expression seemed a little weird. Could she be a fan who wanted to have a peek at Huo Ci’s life?

However...

She looked a little old to be such a fan!

“Auntie, do you want to eat with us?” Ling Sheng asked after noticing her expression. The helper seemed to be in a dilemma about whether she should leave.

“Alright!” Su Xiyin had been waiting for her to say that. Her voice was gentle when she spoke abashedly. “Am I bothering you?”

Slightly annoyed, Ling Sheng thought the lady was indeed not embarrassed.

Did she not know that was a question of courtesy?

Besides the lady’s curiosity, her appearance and elegance were very much unlike the long-time part-time helpers. Where had her father found this helper?

During the meal, Ling Sheng could not help but ask herself that question.

Feeling that she might have just ruined the situation, Su Xiyin wondered if she had acted overboard and had been discovered by the girl. She smiled as she said, “Sheng Sheng, my family situation is not bad, and my son dotes on me.

“Old people tend to find something to pass their time. Cooking is something I like, which is why I ended up doing this job. As for Huo Ci’s house, it has always been me helping out.

“Auntie Zhu came previously, right? That was because I applied for leave. My husband took me out of town for vacation.”

As she was watching her smile, Ling Sheng’s spirits were miraculously lifted as well. Her smile seemed to be magically infectious.

The lady spoke with a mild temperament. She was like a Gangnam beauty who had stepped out of a book and gave off an ancient vibe and water-like gentility.

Ling Xiao Qi was tremendously happy, for he was really fond of this granny.

Su Xiyin did not eat much herself, serving Ling Xiao Qi and Ling Sheng food busily instead. “Sheng Sheng, are y’all used to eating this food?”

Ling Sheng nodded. “Your food is delectable, Auntie.”

Ling Xiao Qi nodded his head hurriedly. “It’s tasty, just like... my Aunt’s food.”

Ling Sheng looked at Ling Xiao Qi. The lady’s food was slightly bland and sweet, which suited a child’s taste. Xiao Qi would naturally like it.

After dinner was over and Su Xiyin had finished tidying up, she told the duo that she had brought them some pickles and wanted them to give them a try. They were stored in the fridge.

Ling Sheng led her to the elevator.

The condominium was a high-end one, so there was one household living on each level. The elevator opened up directly to the unit, which meant a card was needed for access.

Since the helper had a card, this meant that Huo Ci had given it to her, which reduced Ling Sheng’s suspicions to some extent.

“Sheng Sheng, you must be very busy. If you’re okay with it, I can come two hours earlier every day to fetch Xiao Qi from kindergarten.” After meeting the duo, Su Xiyin’s initial deduction had been confirmed.

Xiao Qi took after his mother appearance-wise, while his personality resembled Ci Er’s.

Ling Sheng had yet to speak.

However, Ling Xiao Qi answered before she could. “Okay! Okay!” That was the first time he was so eager over something. After speaking, he looked carefully at Mommy with an expectant face. “Aunt, can she come?”

“Auntie, wouldn’t it be too troublesome for you?” Ling Sheng did not like to cause others trouble.

It did not seem too nice to make an elderly lady fetch Xiao Qi.

“Not at all. I like Xiao Qi. It feels as though we have a deep affinity. Don’t worry, Auntie will take good care of Xiao Qi. You can rest assured and go to work.” Su Xiyin’s smile made her wrinkles show her extreme joy.

Now that she had a well-behaved grandson, she naturally had to live her grandma-life to the fullest.
