Granny Liu couldn't understand what Shen Yuan meant. She turned to ask Xiao Ling, but seeing that Xiao Ling was focused on eating and had no intention of asking, she sighed softly.

Xiao Ling is quite pitiful!

Since I can't speak, my mouth can only be used for eating.

Xiao Ling had no idea what Granny Liu was thinking, and focused solely on eating.

This old nanny's cooking skills were even better than those of the palace cooks who received royal stipends. Her dishes were especially appetizing, and Xiao Ling ate two bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks.

After he finished eating, he returned to the woodshed. Not long after, Shen Yuan also came downstairs with a bowl in her hand.

"Yuanyuan, do you not like Xiao Ling?" Granny Liu glanced at the woodshed and pulled Shen Yuan aside to ask in a low voice.

"There's no such thing as disliking it."

"Then why don't you talk to them?"

When Shen Yuan saw Liu Mama ask this question, she pulled Liu Mama into the kitchen and said, "Grandma, this young master Xiao is just someone we met by chance. I saved him and he gave me a consultation fee. There is only a transaction between us. We are not even friends, let alone people who like or dislike each other."

“Grandma, he will leave here once he recovers. Don’t get too emotionally attached to him. He won’t stay with us for long, so you won’t regret it later.”

Shen Yuan left after saying those words.

Granny Liu sighed as she watched Shen Yuan's retreating figure, "But I just feel that this child is pleasing to my eye."

The concept of "first impression" is quite mysterious; it has nothing to do with how long you've known someone. You might know someone for a long time and still not like them, while you might only meet them once and feel instantly drawn to them. That's what "first impression" means.
