The vehicle stopped smoothly beside the steps in front of the door.
As Wen Nan got out of the car, Zhuang Yichen rushed over immediately, put her hands around his neck, hugged him tightly, and shouted, "Husband!"
Even her eyes were slightly red, and a few tears came out.
She acted like a sweet and adorable young wife who had just reunited after a short separation, and her performance was very vivid.
Wen Nan felt as if a soft and fluffy snowman suddenly jumped into his arms, and the moment it got close to him, his chest felt cold.
Wen Nan raised his arms and hugged the other person's slender waist, but did not pull her into his arms. Instead, he used some force to push her away, "There are so many people watching, why are you so disgusted?"
Zhuang Yichen snorted softly, but didn't let go. He whispered in Wen Nan's ear, "I did it for them to see."
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized something and hurriedly let go of his hand. The exaggerated performance on her face was restrained, and she replaced it with a serious and concerned look, "Honey, the explosion in your house, is it serious? You were not at the scene, were you? Are you injured anywhere? Did I hurt you accidentally just now?"
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at a young woman who was standing respectfully at the door: "Meimei, go and notify the family doctor and ask him to come over as soon as possible."
"Oh, no need," Wen Nan quickly raised his hand to stop the other party, "I was outside when the explosion happened, not at home, nothing happened."
"Outside?" Zhuang Yichen turned around and looked at Wen Nan suspiciously, "It's so late, why don't you rest at home? Where did you go?"
Wen Nan replied vaguely: "I had some work to do and went out for a while."
Zhuang Yichen wanted to ask something else, but the maid Meimei came forward and asked, "Miss, do you want to ask the family doctor to come over?"
The title "Miss" really surprised Wen Nan.
Zhuang Yichen's plot line is really the kind of melodramatic Mary Sue princess background? In real life, how many nannies and servants would call their employers "Miss", "Master" or "Master"?
It sounded like he had accidentally walked into the set of a skit for women.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan couldn't help but take a closer look at the girl named "Meimei".
She was wearing a black skirt suit, which was not as short as some erotic maid outfits. She also wore a white lace apron on her chest. The hem of the A-line skirt Meimei wore was below her knees. She wore white gloves on both arms, and the cuffs extended to her upper arms, leaving a circle of dents on the soft skin there.
Under the skirt, she also wore two pairs of white stockings and a pair of black flat-heeled leather shoes.
Meimei has a heart-shaped face with chubby cheeks and a bit of baby fat. Her lips are upturned, revealing two small front teeth. Her nose is round, her eyes are round, and her chin is pointed. She has a chin-length bob that just reveals her small chin.
The bangs above the eyebrows are very thick and cut in one stroke. This kind of bangs is very challenging for facial features and can easily make people look dull and stupid, but Meimei's eyes are very bright and her facial features are delicate, so this hairstyle makes her look even more cute.
Feeling Wen Nan's scrutiny, Mei Mei buried her head in her chest shyly, pinched the hem of her skirt with her hands uncomfortably, and called out in a low voice: "Hello, Master Ye, Master Ye."
Zhuang Yichen turned his head to look at Wen Nan, then looked at Meimei again, "Young Master Ye looks quite energetic now, his eyes are rolling around, and he even has time to look at outsiders. It seems that there is nothing wrong, so there is no need to call a doctor."
Meimei responded and quickly retreated back to the stairs.
Wen Nan turned his head to look at Zhuang Yichen, thinking that this was the real Onmyoji, and his little servant should really come over and learn from him.
Just as he was thinking, the car door opened, Qiqi got out quickly and walked to Wen Nan's side, "Brother!"
Zhuang Yichen's eyes were fixed on Qiqi's arm that was about to touch Wen Nan, and her gaze was so cold that it seemed like it could freeze Qiqi's arm off in the next moment.
Qiqi unconsciously pulled her hands back and put them behind her back.
Zhuang Yichen's gaze softened a little, and she looked at Wen Nan: "Is this your sister? Why haven't you mentioned her before?"
Wen Nan briefly explained Qiqi's situation and said, "I'm afraid it will be troublesome..."
"——Hello, sister-in-law!"
Without waiting for Wen Nan to finish speaking, Qiqi greeted Zhuang Yichen first.
When Zhuang Yichen heard the word "sister-in-law", the gloom on her face immediately dissipated. She curled her lips and asked, "Sister-in-law is just sister-in-law, why add a small word in front of it?"
Qiqi was stunned by the question. Why did she add the word "small"? She definitely couldn't tell the real reason, and in the end she could only laugh.
Wen Nan shook his head helplessly and helped her out, "Of course it's because you're young and pretty, and you have the same idea as the young lady."
After hearing what Wen Nan said, Zhuang Yichen's mouth corners almost raised to the roots of her ears. She took another step forward and put her arm around Wen Nan's other side, "Go home quickly, I'll take you to understand the situation at home."
As she spoke, she paused, "Oh, by the way," she let go of Wen Nan's arm, turned back to the car, knocked on the window, and when the window was lowered, she said, "Xiaojun, I'm sorry to bother you today. Why don't you go back to bed early?"
Yu Shujun smiled and nodded at Zhuang Yichen. Just as he was about to start the car, Wen Nan came over and casually said, "Xiaojun's house is right next to mine. What a coincidence that we were both blocked together."
"Ah?" Zhuang Yichen looked surprised and bent down to look at the driver's seat again. "Really? Xiaojun, why didn't you tell me earlier? That's perfect. Stay with us. It's convenient here."
Yu Shujun shook her head. "No need, Sister Chen. I'll stay at the hotel designated by the company for one night. It won't cost much."
"This is not a matter of money," Zhuang Yichen said seriously, "You've come here, but you don't want to stay with me. You want to go out and stay in a hotel. That's too polite."
Given Zhuang Yichen's personality, if she continued to refuse, things would probably get awkward. Yu Shujun had no choice but to accept her kindness and at the same time gave Wen Nan a look that said "thank you so much".
Wen Nan gave her a look that said "You're welcome, let's share the happiness together", and Yu Shujun stepped on the accelerator and went to the garage.
Zhuang Yichen pulled Wen Nan together again and walked towards the door.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw a row of people standing inside, bowing towards the door and shouting, "Mr. Ye!"
Wen Nan was startled and looked over. Including Meimei, there were a total of 5 people.
He smiled and said, "No, just call me Ye Jiu."
Zhuang Yichen introduced several people to him one by one, "Zhao Gang, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Wang, Alex, and Meimei, who you just met."
The name exactly matches the one Yu Shujun introduced to Wen Nan just now.
But Zhuang Yichen obviously didn't intend to give Wen Nan a detailed introduction of the situations of the few people. She only said, "If you have any problems, just find Meimei. She lives next door to our bedroom."
As soon as he finished speaking, thinking of the look Wen Nan had given Meimei just now, Zhuang Yichen changed his mind temporarily, "Meimei, go live next door to Aunt Zhang today. Our bedroom may be a little noisy at night."
Meimei replied subconsciously: "I'm not afraid of noise."
Zhuang Yichen's face turned cold. Aunt Zhang stepped forward and pulled Meimei's arm, "Come to my place and keep me company. I just watched a movie called Ogre tonight and was so scared that I couldn't sleep."
Meimei turned to look at Aunt Zhang with a puzzled look on her face, and found that she was winking at her crazily. Suddenly, she recalled some noises she heard from next door when she was half asleep the night before. Meimei suddenly realized the problem and quickly changed her words: "Oh, oh, okay, I'll go sleep with you, Aunt Zhang."
Wen Nan couldn't help but look at Aunt Zhang.
This was a middle-aged woman who looked to be about fifty years old. She had a slightly hunched back, droopy eyes, a sallow complexion covered with brown sun spots, and was wearing a high-necked, long-sleeved shirt. The original crimson fabric had been washed until it turned pale and light purple. She was wearing wide-leg pants, home slippers, and a pair of black socks underneath.
Aunt Zhang is the only female character among the seven permanent residents besides Meimei, but judging from her age and appearance, it is unlikely that she is an amulet.
Just as he was thinking about it, a tall figure came over from the end of the line and extended his hand to Wen Nan, "Mr. Ye, nice to meet you. I wonder what do you like to eat?"
The other person was standing far away before, and Wen Nan didn't pay much attention to her. Now that he walked closer, Wen Nan realized that this was actually a woman.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The other person's hair was cut a little shorter than Wen Nan's, his skin was very white, he wore a row of earrings on one ear, his eyebrows were drawn very thick and dark, there were obvious muscle lines on his arms, and there was a tattoo on his forearm.
Wen Nan recalled that this was Alex, the Western chef who was responsible for preparing brunch for Zhuang Yichen.
But, Alex is not a man? "Alex is biologically female, but psychologically male." Zhuang Yichen noticed Wen Nan's gaze and explained.
Oh, Wen Nan almost forgot how diverse this game is.
Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility that Alex is the amulet.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan raised his hand and shook hands with the other party, "Nice to meet you, I have a wide range of tastes, I like to eat everything, I'm not picky."
Alex laughed when he heard that, "That's great, Mr. Ye is exactly the customer I want to find most right now."
"Really?" Wen Nan laughed.
Zhuang Yichen explained for him: "Alex has been researching a new brunch menu recently. Because of this, he has been staying at our place these days. It just so happens that I have a picky taste and I don't want to try his weird and creative dishes. Can you help me try the taste, husband?"
Wen Nan responded and asked casually, "Why did you think of changing the menu?"
Zhuang Yichen began to complain, "Who knows? We've been using the previous brunch menu for two years and I've always been quite satisfied with it. I don't understand what Alex was thinking. This morning, he suddenly had an idea and insisted on changing the menu, saying that eating the same menu all the time is unhealthy and that we need a balanced diet, blah blah blah. It's so annoying. I'm too lazy to argue with him, so let him do whatever he wants. He lives with me anyway, and I won't pay him overtime."
While listening to Zhuang Yichen's complaints, Wen Nan turned around and looked at Alex.
Alex had his head down, and his face seemed a little pale because of Zhuang Yichen's complaints. When he noticed Wen Nan looking at him, he raised his head again and forced a half-hearted smile at him.
"oops!"
A soft shout came into my ear.
Wen Nan turned around and saw Zhuang Yichen squatting beside a footstool, covering her calf, frowning and gasping for breath.
Wen Nan stepped forward to help Zhuang Yichen and asked her if she was okay.
Zhuang Yichen forced a smile at him, shook his head, and quickly looked at the people in the row behind him, frowning and scolding: "Who is so blind that you moved the old pedal here! It hurts me so much! Aunt Zhang!"
Aunt Zhang hurried forward and moved the footstool away, shifting the blame: "Oh, it's none of my business, miss. This is all Zhao Gang's fault. He suddenly went crazy and said that there were safety hazards in our house. He wanted to check it thoroughly, and ended up turning the storage room at the back upside down. He also wouldn't let me go in to clean it. I had no choice but to put the old footstool here temporarily."
"Investigate?" Zhuang Yichen frowned and looked at the burly man next to him in confusion. "Zhao Gang, what do you mean, is there a thief in the house?"
Zhao Gang shook his head. "There was a burglary in the house of our neighbor. I think we need to take precautions."
Zhuang Yichen felt more and more confused. "The neighbor's house was robbed, why are you searching our own house? Do you think you are a policeman? Stop doing these useless things. You have energy but nowhere to use it. Why not help Uncle Wang shovel the dog poop in the garden?"
Wen Nan followed Zhuang Yichen's words and turned to look at Uncle Wang who was standing in the corner.
Surprisingly, he discovered that this middle-aged man who had remained silent all this time was now staring straight at Wen Nan, with a look in his eyes similar to that of a tigress when she sees delicious fresh meat. He even stuck out his tongue and gently licked the corner of his lips.
Wen Nan's heart tightened when he saw this, and he felt a chill on his back.
What kind of look is that? He probably didn't expect Wen Nan to look at him suddenly, and he didn't manage his expression well. The moment his eyes met Wen Nan's, Uncle Wang immediately lowered his head and resumed his reserved and honest appearance.
Zhuang Yichen didn't notice Wen Nan's eye contact with the others. She held onto Wen Nan's arm and stood up. "It's late, husband. Let's go upstairs. Qiqi lives in our guest room downstairs, next to Xiaojun. Meimei, take Qiqi to her room. Everyone else, go back to your own rooms."
After everything was arranged, the people in the room left quickly, and Wen Nan and Zhuang Yichen returned to the place where he was teleported when he first entered this copy.
When Zhuang Yichen went to the bathroom, Aunt Zhang knocked on the door and came in, holding a set of folded pajamas in her hands, "Mr. Ye, this is the pajamas you changed out of earlier. It has been washed and dried. I put it here for you."
As she spoke, she bent down, stretched out her hand, and placed the pile of clothes neatly on the bedside.
This action caused the cuffs of her long sleeves to move up a little, and Wen Nan could clearly see that the area originally covered by the cuffs was a stretch of delicate and fair skin, which did not look like the skin condition of a fifty-year-old live-in nanny at all.
After putting down his clothes, he immediately withdrew his hands, pulled down his sleeves again, and lowered his head. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After Aunt Zhang left, Wen Nan sat down on the sofa beside the bed and called up the system in his mind.
