"Little Kite?"
Sheng Yuan came back to her senses and saw Jiang Yu looking at her with confusion.
Thoughts return——
"Sure, that's about the right amount. Sorry, Auntie, I just..."
Jiang Yu smiled and shook her head, saying it was okay. She noticed that the girl's eyelids were drooping, and even her beautiful eyelashes were drooping. She asked with concern, "Xiao Yuan, it looks like you didn't get enough rest last night?"
Sheng Yuan paused for a moment, then quickly pretended to be relaxed, and said with a curved lip, "Auntie, I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay."
For several days in a row, Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan would come here to accompany Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu was naturally very happy. After a nap, he asked Sheng Yuan to teach him how to make desserts.
Bright and spacious kitchen.
Sheng Yuan was explaining to Jiang Yu the control time of the snack oven. Through the glass window, she saw two vans parked on the lawn outside the yard.
This is the first time I have seen other strangers coming here in these few days.
The van opened its doors and seven or eight people got out, both men and women. Each of them was carrying a bag and wearing uniform clothing that looked like work clothes. Sure enough, there was a green logo printed on the hats on their heads that read "Cleaning Company XXX".
"My wife doesn't like to see outsiders, so she doesn't have any servants in the house. She just hired a cleaning company to come and clean the house regularly."
Aunt Qu, who was helping out on the side, explained to Sheng Yuan.
As she said this, she put down the work in her hands, wiped her hands, and went out to meet them.
When Aunt Qu walked into the yard, seven or eight cleaning staff were standing at the door being "inspected".
Those in charge of the inspection were Sheng Yuan's bodyguards.
The bodyguards have been following Sheng Yuan since the first time he came here. Jiang Yu doesn't like strangers, so they have been acting invisible these days and will not show up to disturb him unless it is necessary.
And now is the necessary time.
The leading bodyguard walked towards Aunt Qu, bowed his head politely, and said politely, "Sorry to bother you."
Aunt Qu had seen the rules of wealthy families and could vaguely guess that Sheng Yuan was of noble status, so she waved her hand to show that she understood their work very well. She waited patiently by the side and took the initiative to ask the bodyguards if they wanted to drink tea.
"You're welcome. We are just doing our job."
The bodyguard declined.
After a thorough inspection, the bodyguard in charge nodded to the leader, indicating that there was no problem. The latter then made a gesture to let the cleaners in.
Today, like yesterday, Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan stayed for dinner.
Aunt Qu cooked lily soup for dinner.
Shi Yan took the empty bowl, filled it with soup, and placed it next to Sheng Yuan.
Sheng Yuan watched him place the spoon on the tablecloth next to the bowl, then turned around and reminded her, "It's a little hot, let it cool down for a while before drinking."
His movements were delicate, every detail was thoughtful, his eyes were gentle, and her reflection was in his dark pupils.
——Completely opposite to the cold and unkind person in the dream.
The same face, with the same cold expression, the gaze he gave her was bone-chillingly cold, even colder than looking at a stranger.
Sheng Yuan's cold hand was held.
When Shi Yan touched it, he frowned instantly, "Cold?"
The central heating was working and the room was warm as spring.
Sheng Yuan wanted to shake her head and say she wasn't cold, but in the end she just nodded.
Shi Yan took her hand, held it in his warm palm, and said to her, "Is this better?"
