The news that "Madam vomited after just one glance at Mr. Qiao" has probably spread throughout the entire brothel, because later that evening the housekeeper brought Du Xiaoruo some stomach medicine.
Du Xiaoruo thought she would have a hard time falling asleep after such a bizarre incident, but perhaps because the mattress was too comfortable, she slept very well. When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright daylight, and she could hear birds chirping outside the window.
She walked barefoot to the window and drew back the layers of curtains.
Outside the window is a large green space, and in the distance there is a small forest. The morning air is cool and comfortable.
The phone on the bedside table rang, and Du Xiaoruo went over and picked it up.
It was a message from the housekeeper: "Madam, breakfast is ready. Please come downstairs for your meal."
The original owner's daily routine was very irregular. In order not to disturb her sleep in the morning, the housekeeper would notify her to eat by sending a text message. If she did not reply, the housekeeper would wait for her to get up and make a fresh meal.
Would you like to go downstairs for breakfast?
After struggling for a few minutes, Du Xiaoruo decided to go downstairs. She couldn't stay in this room forever, and she had slept well yesterday, so she was in relatively good condition.
The walk-in closet connects to the master bedroom, and the wardrobes on three walls are filled with all kinds of fashion accessories. These clothes were all bought for her by Qiao An after the original owner married Qiao An, and many of them still have the tags on them.
The original owner liked flamboyant and expensive clothes, while those with elegant designs were basically all brand new.
Du Xiaoruo chose a light green silk dress to change into, combed her short hair back to reveal her smooth and beautiful forehead, and wore two small pearl earrings.
This outfit was neither ostentatious nor unsuitable for her current status. Du Xiaoruo felt that dressing appropriately could boost her social confidence.
She was quite tall for a girl, at 1.72 meters, and very thin. She had a naturally aloof appearance, and her quiet nature made her seem even more aloof.
After going downstairs, Qiao Lele was the only one sitting at the dining table.
The housekeeper pulled out a dining chair opposite Qiao Lele, and Du Xiaoruo walked over and sat down.
When Qiao Lele saw her sit down, she turned her head to the side and snorted in dissatisfaction.
The young master is still angry about what happened yesterday. She forgot to pick him up from his training class, so he walked to get ice cream by himself. It just so happened that his phone was out of battery.
It was clearly both of their faults, yet only he apologized! No! It's not fair!
Qiao Lele stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth, pouting and chewing hard, but her big eyes kept glancing at Du Xiaoruo, thinking to herself, "Why does this woman seem a little different today?"
It's actually quite pretty.
The heavy makeup she used to wear made her look like a witch.
No, no, now is not the time to think she's pretty.
Why doesn't she apologize?
While Qiao Lele was racking her brains, Du Xiaoruo wasn't doing much better.
She ate her ham toast calmly on the surface, but countless thoughts were flashing through her mind.
I should apologize to him for what happened yesterday, since I was the one who forgot to pick him up first.
But how can I start the conversation in a more natural way?
Or maybe we should just forget about it; kids forget things easily.
But what if he holds a grudge?
An awkward silence fell over the table, broken only by the clinking of cutlery and the soft sounds of chewing; no one dared to speak first.
The quieter the environment, the more disoriented one feels. Du Xiaoru ate two slices of bread and wanted to leave.
But should the person who leaves the table first say goodbye?
How should I put it? "I'm finished eating?" "Going ahead?" "Take your time eating?"
How embarrassing.
Just then, a series of light footsteps came from the stairs. Du Xiaoruo felt a cool breeze on the back of her neck, and Qiao An sat down in the main seat.
He picked up his coffee cup, his hand pausing in mid-air. The maid immediately stepped forward and poured iced coffee into the cup.
Joanne took a sip of her iced coffee, sighed contentedly, and her clear, deep eyes swept across the table before she turned and asked,
"Didn't you make fish roe sausage today?"
The butler immediately replied, "Yes, would you like me to prepare something for you?"
"Hmm." Joan took another sip of coffee and swallowed it quickly. "Add a scrambled egg, avocado salad, and pickle cheese."
"Yes, sir." The butler nodded respectfully and was about to go down to prepare.
Joanne called him back, "Your bow tie looks good today."
"Thank you, Mr. Qiao." A shy smile appeared on the butler's round face. After receiving the praise, he went off to do his work with light steps.
Since Qiao An arrived, the atmosphere at the dinner table has become much more relaxed. He always has a sense of ease that he can control everything on his own. As long as he doesn't talk to Du Xiaoruo, this atmosphere makes her relax involuntarily.
The Qiao family's chef was very skilled. Du Xiaoruo was only now able to taste it. The rich meaty aroma of the Spanish ham had a hint of fruity sweetness, and the milk had a very strong flavor, quite different from the boxed milk sold outside.
Du Xiaoruo is a person who is very sensitive to food. When she is immersed in tasting delicious food, her mood improves a lot.
After the food was served, Qiao An didn't say much. He quickly ate his breakfast, said goodbye to Du Xiaoruo, and went to work.
After finishing breakfast, Qiao Lele went back to his room, changed into a plaid school uniform, and the housekeeper carried his large schoolbag down the stairs.
Qiao Lele stopped at the gate.
Although he was still angry with Du Xiaoruo, his good upbringing made him stop, clasp his hands in front of his lower abdomen, bow respectfully, and say goodbye to his mother.
"Mom, I'm going to school."
Du Xiaoruo hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting in a flustered manner, "Then, please take care."
Butler, "...You?"
Qiao Lele scratched her fluffy curly hair, wondering why she was acting so strangely today.
Du Xiaoruo returned to her room feeling extremely frustrated. She felt incredibly stupid for her behavior earlier. Why did she even say that to you?
After Qiao An and Qiao Lele left, the villa became empty. The servants spoke in hushed tones, and no one bothered Du Xiaoruo unless she called them.
The carpet in the villa was very soft. Du Xiaoruo walked barefoot around the deserted second floor like a ghost, and finally found a secluded little terrace on the west side.
Across from the terrace is a small hill, so quiet that you can even hear water dripping on the mossy rocks.
She climbed onto the marble railing of the terrace and sat down. She took out her phone and searched for various transmigration novels, just to cram for the last minute and know what transmigrated people should do.
But there are no novel reading apps in this world. All the books are in an online store. After ordering a book, you only need to pay an extra 8 yuan for shipping and someone will deliver it to your door.
The novel Du Xiaoruo ordered arrived before lunch. She received a delivery call, jumped barefoot over the railing, and went straight downstairs.
While signing for the package at the door, Du Xiaoruo saw two maids pack a box of things into a cardboard box and take it out to throw it away.
Because she glanced at it a couple more times, the maid stopped to explain.
"Madam, these are ingredients for making desserts. Since we're not allowed to eat too many desserts at home, they've all expired. These all need to be thrown away."
Through the open cardboard box, Du Xiaoruo saw some boxes on the surface, all containing high-end whipped cream and cocoa powder.
What a pity.
Du Xiaoru bent down, picked up the box of books, and walked home.
"Madam, give me the box." The plump butler hurriedly stepped forward and took the box from Du Xiaoruo's hands.
"Is it delivered to the room?" the butler asked again.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble." Du Xiaoruo thanked her softly and followed the butler upstairs.
The butler stopped and waited for Du Xiaoruo to take two steps forward before leisurely following. Seeing the bookstore logo on the box, the talkative butler casually asked a question.
Are you buying books?
Generally, such remarks are just the butler talking to himself and do not actually require a response from the master.
Du Xiaoruo actually thought about it seriously for two seconds before giving an answer, "Well, I bought... some tutorials."
"The tutorial is great, the tutorial is really good." The butler had a kind smile on his face as he helped Gu Xiaoruo carry the box of books into her room.
As the housekeeper left the room, he noticed that his wife seemed a little different than before.
Although the person is still the same, their clothes and appearance are different. They have become very quiet and are especially polite to people. They have even started reading books now.
Indeed, people still need to read books; reading can change a person's temperament.
Lost in thought, he went downstairs, bent down, and picked up a book list that had just fallen out of the book box.
Transmigrated as the CEO's Beloved Wife
"The CEO, Love Me Again"
After Transmigrating into a Heartthrob, I Won Without Even Trying.
After Transmigrating into the Villain's Stepmother
The housekeeper stood alone in the empty living room, his chubby face filled with confusion. The lady called these books "tutorials."
What on earth is she learning?
