Chapter 41



There were originally two boxes of milk, but in the blink of an eye, they became five boxes. Guan Nianwei was stunned.

As a person who only drinks milk before going to bed at night, how many days would it take her to finish five boxes of milk by herself?

She encountered the biggest problem in her life.

Guan Nianwei: Little fairy slave, kill me.

Dong Yu thought that Xiao Xian Nu did a good job, and adding three more cartons of milk would keep Secretary Guan longer. She even thought that it would be even better if Xiao Xian Nu bought three cartons directly.

Because she wanted to live with Secretary Guan for a little longer.

Xiao Xiannu wiped her hands and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two of them. Guan Nianwei put down her bag and followed in to help.

Dongyu's gaze followed her back and he couldn't help asking himself why he had such thoughts. Was it really just because he was used to having the secretary around?

She knew that forming a habit was sometimes a scary thing, but she had never thought that getting used to another person existing in her space would be such a scary thing - so scary that she would not want to let that person go, and subconsciously wanted to continue the habit.

Is it because Secretary Guan is cute? Cute people always make others want to be with them?

Or do you want to protect her better?

Dong Yu thought of the day when Guan Nianwei cried in his arms, and the way she cried and said she was afraid she wouldn't come. He couldn't help but feel a deep pain in his heart.

She suddenly understood.

——I do want to live with Secretary Guan because I want to better protect her.

After the answer emerged clearly, Dong Yu's doubts also dissipated with the wind, and he finally didn't have to worry about why he wanted to live with Guan Nianwei.

Dongyu looked at the bag and bags that Guan Nianwei had placed on the chair, and helped her take them back to the room.

When the little fairy slave saw Guan Nianwei following him in, he was stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he hurriedly asked her to leave: "This is my job, how can I trouble Miss Guan to help me. Miss Guan, please go out quickly, don't let the smell of oil smoke stain you."

Guan Nianwei held her hand and said with a smile: "Fairy, you are too polite. I often cook at home, it's nothing. I have to take a shower after dinner anyway."

The little fairy slave said in embarrassment: "Miss Guan is a guest. It is too disrespectful to Miss Guan. The princess will blame her."

Guan Nianwei looked at her expression and felt that she was right. Asking customers for help might indeed cause her to be scolded, but Guan Nianwei didn't want to just sit there and wait to be served. She was not destined to have such a life, nor was she used to such things.

Guan Nianwei pushed up her glasses and said, "Wait a minute." After that, she walked out of the kitchen and stood at the door and called Dong Yu who was sitting in the living room, "Boss Dong."

Dongyu responded and turned to look at her: "What's wrong, Secretary Guan?"

Guan Nianwei asked as if she was reporting work: "I want to help the fairy cook, is that okay?"

Dong Yu thought it was something serious and nodded calmly: "If Secretary Guan is willing, then go and help."

She knew Guan Nianwei. If she was asked to just sit there and wait to be served, she would probably feel bad inside. So it would be better to ask her to help out and dispel her "guilt".

It's just cooking, what's the big deal? Secretary Guan is used to cooking at home anyway.

Guan Nianwei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you, President Dong."

Dongyu smiled helplessly and shook his head.

I asked her for help and she even said thank you. What kind of silly kid is she?

Guan Nianwei got Dongyu's permission, turned around and walked into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves and said, "The princess agreed, I can help the fairy cook."

The little fairy slave opened his mouth, looked at her in astonishment, then looked at the kitchen door, and after a long while he started to laugh, shaking his head and saying, "Miss Guan is really..."

He actually went to ask the eldest princess for permission. Where did this cute mortal come from?

The little fairy slave also rolled up her sleeves, her smile still clear and refreshing: "Okay, I'll trouble Miss Guan to help me cook today."

They started busying themselves in the kitchen. Dongyu didn't know how to cook, so she didn't plan to go into the kitchen to make trouble. She stayed quietly in the living room, watching her tablet and chatting with her younger brothers and sisters.

Zhaoyue and the others heard that the Emperor of Heaven was also in Yunting and that their parents were all alive, so they made an appointment to come to Sanchi someday - mainly to see their mother who had become a mortal.

They knew in the group that their mother had changed a lot, but they hadn't had the time to come over for some time. They were eager to visit but time didn't permit. But it didn't matter, they would be free in a few days, so they had to come as a group.

Dong Yu did not refuse. If they wanted to meet, they could meet. No one would stop them. And with her and His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven in Yunting, these three brats would not cause any trouble.

On Guan Nianwei's side, she and the little fairy slave chatted while cooking. After chatting for a while, they became more familiar with each other. The little fairy slave even told her some small stories about gods and ghosts.

It tells a story about a love between a man and a god with a happy ending, because at the end of the story the man also turned into a god, and they became a true couple of gods.

After the story was told, Guan Nianwei couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can people still become immortals now?"

The little fairy slave cut the meat slowly and answered slowly: "Of course."

The little fairy slave said: "Mortals who are born with fairy roots can be directly enlightened to become fairies." He added, "But fairy roots are rare, one in ten thousand, and only one or two will appear every few hundred years."

The little immortal slave stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at her, then said, "Hey, my magic skills are not high, and my Taoism is too shallow, so I can't tell whether you have immortal roots or not."

Guan Nianwei blinked slowly. Immortal roots were so rare that she felt that she had no chance. But at this moment, she suddenly remembered the fortune teller she had met before.

——You have a deep affinity with immortals, and you will surely be blessed by immortals in the future, and your future will be limitless.

At that time, she was still a staunch materialist and atheist, and did not believe even a single punctuation mark in this sentence. Now she knows she was wrong.

Guan Nianwei: [face hurtsjpg]

But since that gentleman said that she has a destiny with immortality, could this be related to her immortal roots?

Guan Nianwei raised her hand and gently pushed the black glasses frame with the back of her hand. She asked carefully and expectantly, "Then, is there any relationship between immortal fate and immortal roots?"

The little fairy slave pushed the cut meat to one end of the chopping board, and then happily stirred the eggs in the bowl: "That's not necessarily true. People with fairy roots must have fairy fate, but people with fairy fate may not necessarily have fairy roots."

She stopped talking and said, "Miss Guan, why don't you just ask our eldest princess?"

Guan Nianwei looked at her.

The little fairy slave smiled and said, "Our eldest princess is so powerful, she will definitely be able to tell whether you have fairy roots or not."

"If you have it, then you can be enlightened and become an immortal, and live forever!"

The little fairy slave knew that immortality was the dream of many mortals, especially the emperors in ancient times, who dreamed of living forever.

Guan Nianwei raised the corners of her lips, smiled, and said, "I don't think so. I don't have that kind of luck, so I'd better not ask."

Because she was afraid.

She was afraid that the answer she got would not be what she wanted, and this would increase the distance between her and Dong Yu.

In this case, it would be better to let this question become a mystery that will never be solved, and let the unknown answer give her a little hope, so that she can continue to have the courage to stay by Dong Yu's side.

The little fairy slave shrugged and said, "Okay."

After Guan Nianwei and Dongyu finished their meal, Guan Nianwei cleared the dishes and put them in the sink, waiting for Xiao Xiannu to clean them up, because Xiao Xiannu told her before she left that if she helped her with housework again, she would suspect that she was trying to steal her job.

Xiao Xiannu's tone was playful, but Guan Nianwei still listened carefully. Stealing someone's job is tantamount to destroying their rice bowl, so Guan Nianwei really didn't do any more housework and obediently left it to Xiao Xiannu.

I hope the little fairy slave doesn’t misunderstand that she is here to steal the life, she is clearly here to drink milk.

Five big boxes

What a sweet burden.

Guan Nianwei gently put all the dishes into the sink, washed her hands and walked out of the kitchen. Dong Yu was sitting on the sofa watching a TV series - Zhaoyue's TV series.

Dongyu told her to take a shower first, so she didn't disturb Dongyu. She went back to the room, got her pajamas, and quietly went to the bathroom.

Guan Nianwei quickly finished her bath, came out wiping her wet hair, and said to Dong Yu, "Boss Dong, I'm fine now, you can take a bath now."

Dongyu stood up and responded, then looked at her again and said, "Dry your hair, don't catch a cold."

Guan Nianwei felt warm in her heart and nodded at her with a smile: "Okay, I understand. Thank you President Dong for your concern."

Dongyu couldn't help but look at her.

Guan Nianwei was stunned, not knowing what was going on: "What's wrong, Mr. Dong? Is there something on my face?"

"No," Dongyu said, "I just want to tell Secretary Guan that you don't have to be so polite to me."

Don't always say thank you to her. Being too polite will make you seem distant.

——She didn’t want to be so distant and polite with Secretary Guan.

"I don't want Secretary Guan to be so polite to me." Dong Yu said and walked back to his room.

Guan Nianwei stood there in a daze.

What does Mr. Dong mean by that?

She doesn't want her to be polite to her. Does that mean she wants her to get closer to her?

Guan Nianwei grabbed the towel in confusion and stood at the door in deep thought.

When Dongyu came out with pajamas, he saw her standing blankly at the bathroom door. Her face was light pink like cherry blossoms, and she was wearing ordinary black pajamas. Her long black hair was draped behind her, which made her skin look even whiter, like the bright moonlight falling on her body.

Dongyu looked at her in a daze and thought she was still very cute, but with her wet hair, her cuteness was useless.

Dong Yu said, "Secretary Guan."

Guan Nianwei came back to her senses instantly and looked at her immediately, revealing a confused expression: "What's wrong, President Dong?"

Dongyu said patiently, "Blow-dry your hair."

Secretary Guan’s fever has just been cured, and he can’t let himself get sick again from catching a cold.

Thinking about the days when she had a fever and even frowned in pain when she slept, Dongyu felt distressed.

It would be better if her secretary Guan was in good health.

Dong Yu seemed to be worried about her, and like an old nanny, she personally helped her take out the hair dryer. She didn't have these things at home. It was only after Guan Nianwei stayed at her house a few days ago that she asked the fairy slave to prepare them. So it can be said that many daily necessities in her home were prepared for Guan Nianwei.

Dong Yu personally helped Guan Nianwei plug in the hair dryer, then led her to sit next to the socket, and once again used an imperative tone: "Blow your hair well, don't catch a cold."

Guan Nianwei took the hair dryer she handed over and felt that Guan Hui was not as meticulous as Dong Yu. Guan Hui would just take out the hair dryer and let her blow dry it. Dong Yu looked like he wanted to blow dry her hair himself.

Guan Nianwei found it funny and her mood improved.

Dong Yu was good to her, and she liked this kindness no matter what the purpose was.

Anyway, she didn't want to save herself for the time being, so she just sunk further into Dong Yu's gentleness towards her. After all, she was so incompetent in front of her.

Guan Nianwei's hair was soft and long, and it took a while to blow dry. When Dongyu came out of the shower, she was still blow-drying her hair while watching TV.

I was watching a costume TV series also starring Zhao Yue. It was at the part where the princess played by Zhao Yue accidentally broke her father's treasure, and then she hurriedly ran to find her father, intending to cry and act pitifully first.

The princess played by Terutsuki is playful and cute, not at all offensive, and her crying scenes are as beautiful as ever, easily drawing people into the drama.

When Guan Nianwei was a junior in college, she went to see a movie she starred in with her roommates. Every time she cried, she would lead a large group of people to cry with her. Her infectiousness was extremely strong.

On TV, Zhaoyue had already started crying, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked so pitiful that it made people unable to blame her.

Dong Yu walked to Guan Nianwei and said suddenly, "It's still the same as when we were kids."

The sound of the hair dryer covered her voice. Guan Nianwei couldn't hear clearly, so she quickly turned off the hair dryer and looked at her: "What did you just say?"

Dongyu sat down beside her and raised his chin towards the tearful person on the screen: “Zhaoyue, you’re crying just like when you were a kid.”

Dong Yu suddenly remembered the past. She crossed her legs, bent her arms and supported her pointed and fair chin. She said slowly, "The scene she is acting out now is exactly what happened to her when she was a child."

Guan Nianwei: “?”

Guan Nianwei: "What a coincidence?"

Dong Yu nodded and said, "When she was a child, she broke father's Snowy Night Glass Lamp. Before father could blame her, she ran to him and started crying. She cried as if the Snowy Night Glass Lamp was broken by itself, and father had to comfort her for a long time."

Guan Nianwei: “............”

I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be such a second princess.

When Guan Nianwei turned her head back to look at the TV screen, she was surprised to find that the scene was being played where the emperor was coaxing his daughter. He patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "It's broken, so why are you crying like this? My Huayang didn't do it on purpose. Okay, okay, don't cry anymore."

Guan Nianwei: “............”

It is true that art comes from life in heaven.

Dongyu finished speaking and looked at her hair again: "Secretary Guan, blow dry your hair quickly."

Guan Nianwei suspected that she was having a problem with her hair, so she quickly turned on the hair dryer and continued to blow dry it.

Today is the seventh day that Guan Nianwei is away from home.

Guan Hui usually doesn't care about this kind of thing. Her child has grown up and has his own social circle. It is normal for him to occasionally spend the night at a friend's house. And her baby is so obedient and sensible that he will definitely not cause trouble outside.

But today is different.

Her good daughter came back to get some clothes and took the coat with her! What does this mean? It means that she is most likely with the owner of the coat!

Thinking of this, Guan Hui couldn't help but worry.

She didn't know how long Guan Nianwei had been in this relationship, nor did she know whether Guan Nianwei was living with the man now. If Guan Nianwei was living with the man not long into the relationship, she would definitely not approve of it.

You can know a person’s face but not his heart. If you don’t date him for a long time, how can you know what kind of person he is?

She was not against Guan Nianwei's relationship, but she hoped that she could be cautious with her significant other, be responsible for herself, and not give herself up so quickly.

Guan Hui didn't dare to think about it any further. She didn't even want to play mahjong tonight, so she thought about calling Guan Nianwei to ask, but she was afraid that Guan Nianwei would think that she didn't respect her enough, so she fell into great conflict and paced back and forth in the living room.

Finally, she decided to flip a coin and let Lady Dongxia decide whether to call or not: "Lady Dongxia, if you think I should call and ask, that's heads. If you think I shouldn't, that's tails. Please."

After saying that, she gritted her teeth and tossed the coin -

Guan Nianwei was still blow-drying her hair when the cell phone in the room rang, but her ears were filled with the buzzing sound of the hair dryer, so she couldn't hear it at all.

It was only when Dongyu, whose five senses were extremely sharp, helped her take out her cell phone that she realized there was a call - it was from her mother Guan Hui.

She was worried that Guan Hui had something important to talk to her about, so she quickly turned off the hair dryer and answered the phone. She walked to the window and said, "Hello, Mom? What's wrong?"

"My dear daughter, what are you doing?" Guan Hui asked.

The voice was normal, and Guan Nianwei breathed a sigh of relief: "I just finished blow-drying my hair."

Dong Yu sat back on the sofa, glanced casually at Guan Nianwei who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window and talking on the phone, then calmly withdrew his gaze.

In fact, it was useless for Guan Nianwei to make a phone call if she stood far away. They had sharp five senses like gods, and as long as there was no complete wall with strong sound insulation, they could hear the sounds of the entire coffee shop, let alone this empty distance.

But in order to respect Guan Nianwei's call, Dongyu decided to seal his hearing - wearing headphones.

However, just as she was about to put it on, she heard Guan Nianwei say five words very clearly: "I'm in love?"

Dongyu was stunned for a moment.

Secretary Guan is in love?

Dong Yu frowned slightly and curled his lips in displeasure.

Is Secretary Guan really in love?

No, why did she feel more unhappy the more she thought about this problem?

Dongyu looked at the Bluetooth headset in his hand and put it down without hesitation.

She decided not to respect Secretary Guan's phone call for the time being. She wanted to hear if Secretary Guan was really in a relationship. After all, Secretary Guan had said before that she had no idea for the time being. She herself said that she hadn't made enough money yet, so how could she suddenly start a relationship? !

Secretary Guan was dishonest with me.

Dongyu thought so and seemed to have found the answer to the question - she must be unhappy because Secretary Guan was not honest with her.

Then she had to listen even more. How could her closest subordinate lie to her?

So she propped up her head and listened openly.

Guan Nianwei held the phone and said with a smile: "Mom, why do you think I'm in love?"

Guan Hui said as a matter of course: "Because of that coat."

That coat is not suitable for the mother and daughter to wear. It clearly belongs to someone else. So, as a mother, can't she reasonably suspect that her daughter is in a relationship?

Guan Hui: Yes, absolutely.

Guan Nianwei: "Mom, that coat belongs to my boss. I was accidentally splashed with water that day, so she lent it to me."

Guan Hui: “..........”

Guan Hui: “Really?”

Guan Nianwei: “Really.”

Guan Hui felt that the question was not enough, so she asked, "Are you really at your friend's house now?"

Guan Nianwei: “Yeah.”

"Then can you let her talk to mom?" Guan Hui explained, "It's not that mom doesn't trust you. Mom is mainly afraid that you will lie to mom, hide your love affair, and then meet a bad man, so mom wants to help you look through it. Do you understand what mom means?"

Guan Nianwei could fully understand Guan Hui's painstaking efforts. She now felt helpless, funny, and a little entangled. After all, she was indeed lying to Guan Hui.

I was staying at my boss's house, but I said I was staying at a friend's house.

However, she found that considering Guan Hui's sensitivity, it was right not to tell her that she lived in her boss's house. Otherwise, Guan Hui might have imagined something even more - how could her daughter live in her boss's house after only working for a month? Was this a sign of moral degradation or lack of humanity? Or was it the beginning of her daughter's love?

But she was conflicted. Should she really ask Dongyu to act with her?

Guan Nianwei subconsciously turned around to look at Dongyu. Dongyu was watching TV with his head supported calmly. Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, he turned to look at her.

The moment their eyes met, Guan Nianwei walked towards her as if possessed by a ghost, then covered the phone and asked her to pretend to be her friend.

Dong Yu of course knew the rhetoric that Guan Nianwei had used to her mother. In order to get Guan Nianwei to stay, she had the obligation to pretend to be her friend and help her finish the show.

She picked up the phone and said graciously, "Hello, Auntie."

It was the first time that Guan Nianwei saw her being so polite to someone outside the Heavenly Palace.

Guan Nianwei felt that Guan Hui would never have thought that the Goddess Dongxia, whom she worshipped, would call her auntie in return, because she hadn't expected it either.

When Guan Hui heard the voice, she found that it was indeed a woman's, and her voice was particularly beautiful, the kind that made people involuntarily associate her with a picture of a peerless beauty in their minds.

Guan Hui: "Oh, are you Nianwei's friend? You have a nice voice. Tell me, what's your name?"

Dong Yu raised her eyelids and looked at Guan Nianwei beside her, and calmly said that her surname was Shao. Guan Hui then called her "Xiao Shao" very affectionately.

But Guan Hui is a sober and rigorous mother, she will not be fooled.

What if her daughter is a lesbian? What if this friend is not a friend who came back from abroad?

Guan Hui was very friendly when she talked to Dong Yu. When they were almost chatting, she said, "Xiao Shao, you guys are back from abroad, so your English is pretty good, right? Can you say a few words to Auntie?"

Dongyu was stunned for a moment—she wouldn’t.

The language currently used in heaven is not much different from Chinese in the mortal world, so Dongyu is very familiar with Chinese. As for other languages in the mortal world, Dongyu only learns them when she needs to. Now she doesn't need to go to a country that uses English, so naturally she doesn't know English.

But there are more languages abroad than just English.

Dongyu said very calmly: "Auntie, the place I went to doesn't speak English."

Guan Hui seemed to understand: "Oh, then why don't you tell me a few words? Just think of it as a way to broaden my horizons."

Dongyu said okay, and then performed a piece for her.

Guan Nianwei was confused as she could not understand a single word of what Dong Yu was reading. It was like a mysterious language from ancient times. To ordinary people, every word was awkward and difficult to pronounce.

Guan Nianwei suspected that she was chanting a spell, because Lianzhen said that the spells of the gods and the language they use for communication are two different languages. The spells are unique and difficult to pronounce, and are not easy for mortals to remember.

Dong Yu read a short paragraph and then stopped. Guan Hui on the other end was confused. She really didn't understand anything at all. After praising Dong Yu twice in a confused manner, she said goodbye and hung up the phone.

Dongyu returned the phone to Guan Nianwei, who asked, "What did you read to my mother?"

Dong Yu said: "I can't think of anything else at the moment, so..."

"I recited a slow version of the spell to your mother."

Guan Nianwei: “???”

What is this operation???
