Zhang Ma, why are you cleaning so early?” The blond girl, who had a conflict with Mage, suddenly feels the world is suddenly cleaner . The maid turns, and she can’t help but say a few words .
“It’s not that early . I overslept this morning since I went to visit my husband in the hospital yesterday . I’ve been so busy, too . I’m working hard to get a down payment for his house . Otherwise, I wouldn’t do such a tiring job,” she slyly says .
The blonde’s name is Carrie . She used to work in Nangong Zifei’s place in the US . She didn’t want to be inconspicuous . Everywhere, even at the car wash, the villa was ruled with an iron fist .
Normally, Carrie isn’t fond of the old woman, but compared to Mage, who ruins her mood, the old woman isn’t as annoying . Carrie follows the old woman while she walks upstairs and chats . Her Mandarin isn’t good, but she can converse .
“Zhang Ma, you’ve been here for a few days now . What do you think of our boss?”
The maid is responsible for cleaning the 2nd floor, specifically, Nangong Zifei’s room . She also has to clean Mage’s room, so she opens her door, too .
“Your boss is good looking, but cold . He doesn’t like to talk . We, rural folk, like kids who like to talk . But, uh, your boss has money, and many women would want to marry him . ” Zhang Ma starts vacuuming .
“With your experience, what kind of woman do you think our boss would like?” Carrie asks with clear, blue eyes .
“I don’t know . I’m not familiar with him . You can tell me what kind of woman he’s been with . ”
Carrie was about to say something when she suddenly feels the urge to use the bathroom . Using Mage’s bathroom, she sees the pregnancy test kit in the trash can as she reaches for the toilet paper .
Since this kit is rather common, Carrie recognized it immediately . Once she finishes using the toilet, she squats and looks at the stick . With only one horizontal bar, she knows Mage isn’t pregnant . Carrie lets out a sigh of relief . If she was pregnant with the boss’s child, she wonders if he’d let her keep the child .
She can’t stand the sight of that woman, she should just die! Even if she can’t be his equal, she’d prefer that a stronger woman to be beside the boss .
As she thinks about it, Carrie walks out of the room suddenly feeling better .
Since there weren’t any stars in the sky the night before, it’s a good guess that the day would be cloudy or rainy . Despite the gray skies, the morning is pleasant .
It’s been a while since she wore the uniform . After she puts on her skirt, she feels it’s a bit snug . Looking at her profile sideways is enough to give her a headache .
After two consecutive hospitalizations, Jiang Yuan watched over her, and in that month, she raised her to be a pig . Fortunately, her belly isn’t too prominent, and she hasn’t gained fat in other places . At least her face looks better than before .
Since she slept very early last night, she was able to finish her breakfast before Qilu got down for breakfast . To avoid an awkward moment, An Chuxia tells Jiang Yuan she’ll be waiting outside . She takes her bag and walks out the hall .
She loves the morning air . An Chuxia takes a deep breath, inhaling the grass’ scent . A maid passing by greets, “Good morning, xiaonainai . ” An Chuxia is so used to the title, she returns her greeting . But the maid doesn’t hear her since she leaves in a hurry .
Chuxia is confused . She walks toward the direction the maid came from, and suddenly, a boy in Stein uniform approaches her .
Only she and Qilu attend Stein, so who is he?
Her stomach flutters in concern as the gap between them closes . Steward Han starts walking ahead to meet An Chuxia . “Good morning, xiaonainai . ”
“Yeah,” she says, as she looks at the boy whose head turned . He looks so familiar .
“Hello,” the boy finally greets her .
However, his voice falls when he gets reprimanded . “Remember to call her xiaonainai . I told you the rules last night . Don’t you remember?”
Feeling the air get cold, An Chuxia quickly smiles . “We’re the same age . You don’t have to be so old fashioned, steward Han . Having him call me xiaonainai ages me . Besides, wouldn’t it be awkward if he calls me that in school?”
The Stein hierarchy is strictly enforced . Even Han is called Master Han . If anyone finds out Liu Dongyu is steward Han’s son, he would be looked down on . An Chuxia can tell the butler was about to say something, so she changes the subject . “You’re really going to school in Stein? College?”
“High school . ” Liu Dongyu has a good impression of An Chuxia . He knows she’s a little nervous and can’t help but talk . “What about you?”
Xu ayi sees the two children getting along, and sidles next to the steward . “Xiaonainaiis right; don’t be so old-fashioned . If you are like that, the other kids would look down on him . ”
Steward Han looks at Liu Dongyu and quickly refocuses . He nods and says, “You’re right, I’ve failed . ”
“Who says you failed?” Xu ayi asks before Han Qilu arrives . The maid closes her mouth and walks away to do her work .
An Chuxia is personable with the staff, unlike Han Qilu, who’s still feared by some of the servants . He is born to be feared . It’s not like Qilu can smile and resolve the issue .
From a distance, he watched her talk animatedly with steward Han’s son . His hands unconsciously ball into fists, and his face tenses as he approaches . “We’re running late, and you find time to chat?”
Han Qilu’s tone wasn’t nice, and An Chuxia wonders why the young master is upset . It seems that this temper has been cultivated since he was young, even before he knew himself .
Liu Dongyu doesn’t say anything when he looks at Han Qilu . He didn’t have a good impression of the young master . After all, he has been the object of his ill-will since his youth .
“I’ll drive the car over,” steward Han says nervously as he witnesses the battle brewing .
Liu Dongyu gets into the same car Han Qilu and An Chuxia, only he sits upfront with his father driving . Jiang Yuan made this arrangement . The butler knows the madam wants the couple to reconnect .
As long as Han Qilu has limited contact with Mankuai, his feelings for her should subside . As for Liu Dongyu, Jiang Yuan wants the boy to reconnect with the steward . Steward Han’s heart is full; she watches out for everyone, and he can see it .
The car has reached the iron gate, and as it slowly opens, steward Han hears Jiang Yuan . Fortunately, steward Han’s ears are still functioning, and he was able to stop the car in time .
He rolls down the window, and Jiang Yuan runs toward them with a horde of maids behind her . She pants as she reaches the car door . Three bags are handed over, and An Chuxia quickly takes it . “Mommy, couldn’t you have someone else run this over?”
The hall is quite far from the gate .
Han Qilu takes the bags from An Chuxia . The bags are transparent, and each bag contains two tea eggs . He licks his lips unconsciously, suddenly feeling hungry for the eggs .
“Everyone gets a bag . I specifically told the cook to prepare them . If you eat the eggs,you’ll get full marks!” Jiang Yuan says, smiling like a kind mother would .
Han Qilu snickers in irony . “Why so low when we can get a hundred and fifty?”
“Give me a hundred-fifty first before saying it!” She gives him a look . “An Chuxia, give out the eggs . Dongyu gets one, too . ”
Liu Dongyu turns around and takes the tea eggs from Chuxia . This is the first time he has met Jiang Yuan, and he starts wondering how she gave birth to a character so cold and violent . How can the gap be so wide?
With the warm tea eggs in her hands, An Chuxia says, “Thank you, mommy . We’re leaving . “
As the car speeds away, Jiang Yuan calls out, “Remember to eat the egg… . ”
The scenery around them recedes as they leave . With the morning air still cool, steward Han closes the window, afraid that the children will freeze . Without circulation, the car smells like tea eggs .
An Chuxia sighs, “It’s so fragrant!”
Han Qilu was about to make a smart response, but Liu Dongyu’s retching sound leaves his words unspoken . “Kid, do you think the tea eggs smell bad?”
An Chuxia’s face turns black after hearing Qilu’s statement . It’s not that his statement is wrong; she just feels the original Qilu is still around .
