Shen Huai'an asked Lin Wanxing with a smile, "What are you looking for?"
Lin Wanxing reacted rather slowly. He slowly withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, "Why don't I see Butler Li?"
Aside from Butler Li, Butler Chen has been handling most of the household affairs. He's been a long-time employee of Shen Huai'an, and Shen Huai'an trusts him more than anyone else.
"If you have any questions, you can go to Butler Chen. Li Jiyan is probably busy with other things."
He didn't understand why this little fool would suddenly ask about someone like Li Jiyan.
"Really? Is Butler Li talking to Mom on the phone?"
Lin Wanxing's innocent eyes widened. "He must be missing his mother!"
Shen Huai'an's expression changed instantly. "Who did you think he called?"
Lin Wanxing replied without hesitation, "Mom!"
"Whose mother?"
Shen Huai'an casually asked him with a smile as he cut his steak.
"Of course it's his mother. I just saw him call her."
Shen Huai'an paused slightly as he cut the steak. He looked up slightly, a warm smile curving his lips, but his eyes remained indifferent even when he smiled.
Lin Wanxing stared at him for a moment, and for a moment he felt as if he had fallen into that warm smile.
Shen Huai'an slowly put down his knife and fork, his smile deepening. He picked up a handkerchief and elegantly wiped his mouth, asking Lin Wanxing, "Are you sure you're calling his mother?"
Lin Wanxing nodded blankly and said seriously to Shen Huai'an, "Yes, I saw him talking to his mother on the phone near the greenhouse at home this afternoon. Butler Li must be missing his mother."
Lin Wanxing was still explaining on behalf of Li Jiyan and Shen Huai'an: "I used to feel like that occasionally too, and I would often miss my mother. But as I grew up, I stopped missing her so much because I knew that even if I missed her, I wouldn't be able to see her."
"I really envy Butler Li; he has a mother who cares about him."
His explanation only made things worse, rather than the other way around.
Li Jiyan's mother passed away seven years ago, and Shen Huai'an paid for her funeral.
This Li Jiyan is really something else. Calling his mother who passed away seven years ago sounds like a joke.
Shen Huai'an picked up a glass from the side; the transparent glass reflected a faint luster.
“You don’t even miss your mother anymore, but Butler Li is still thinking about her all the time. He’s quite filial. I think he should go and spend some time with his mother.”
“He’s been by my side all these years, and I never realized he was such a filial person. This is my mistake as his boss, and I will definitely make it up to him another day.”
The last two words, "compensation," escaped his thin lips and instantly seemed to be coated with a layer of ice, turning him cold.
Lin Wanxing took a bite of the pudding in her hand, and the rich mango flavor exploded in her mouth.
"I like this mango pudding, it's delicious."
He always shows a sweet smile when he eats his favorite food, his starry eyes sparkling, the corners of his eyes curving, as happy as a child.
"If you want to eat this next time, just tell Butler Chen and he will tell the kitchen to make it."
Lin Wanxing chewed on the mango flesh, the rich milky aroma and the unique sweetness of the mango blending together, with a chewy and bouncy texture. This was the most delicious thing in Lin Wanxing's mind so far.
This tastes even better than mini cakes! Now I can eat it whenever I want.
Shen Huai'an is truly a wonderful person.
But when he thought about what Li Jiyan had said to him before, he started to feel troubled again.
Will Butler Chen let the kitchen make the pudding he likes?
"Butler Li said you don't like sweet food."
Shen Huai'an leaned back in his chair, a glass of red wine in his right hand, and asked casually, "So?"
"Since it's something you don't like, can the kitchen even make it?"
Shen Huai'an thought for a moment and replied, "You've married me, so you're practically the master of this house. Besides me, you're the only person here who can order the servants around."
Shen Huai'an is not the kind of person who goes back on his word. Since he said he would marry Lin Wanxing in front of everyone, he would definitely keep his word.
"Tomorrow, we're going back to the Shen family's old house to see my family."
Since Shen Huai'an became lame and after Old Master Shen passed away, he has rarely returned to the Shen family's old house.
They almost always only make an appearance to have a reunion dinner during holidays.
Since my wedding is such a big event, I naturally have to go back.
His family must be itching to see him make a fool of himself, and it wouldn't be right for him to keep delaying his return.
Lin Wanxing didn't quite understand the internal strife within the Shen family, but he was still very happy to hear that Shen Huai'an wanted to introduce him to his family.
Lin Wanxing ate a very full dinner. He rubbed his stomach, which was bulging after the meal. He then took a walk around the entire front hall.
In the distance, a bonfire blazed around the shimmering pool, the calm water reflecting the dancing flames.
Next to the greenhouse is the back garden and the sports field. Lin Wanxing walked curiously to the poolside.
At this time, most of the servants had gone to rest, but Lin Wanxing still saw Li Jiyan's figure.
What exactly is Li Jiyan doing? Why is this person so strange?
"Young Master Lin, it's getting late, you should go to sleep."
Butler Chen, who suddenly appeared from behind, called out to Lin Wanxing.
Lin Wanxing blankly handed the milk to Butler Chen, rubbed his nose, and asked innocently, "Am I going to sleep with Shen Huai'an?"
"What?" Butler Chen couldn't help but be surprised, his expression freezing.
Although he is old, his hearing has always been very good.
But now he really couldn't believe his ears.
Lin Wanxing thought that her voice was too soft, so the old man with white hair in front of her did not hear what she said clearly.
He deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Am I going to sleep with Shen Huai'an?"
"In TV shows, when two people get married, they always sleep together. That's how they're considered a couple, isn't it?"
This time, Butler Chen heard it clearly, but he didn't know how to answer Young Master Lin's question.
"This...this..."
Butler Chen stammered for a long time without explaining the situation to Lin Wanxing.
"What's wrong, Butler Chen? Am I wrong?"
“That’s right, but as your butler, I can’t discuss this with you.”
Lin Wanxing nodded in sudden realization, "I understand. I'm sorry, Butler Chen, I won't ask you that kind of question again next time."
Butler Chen smiled with relief. In fact, Young Master Lin was not the clueless, silly child that people outside were saying he was.
Lin Wanxing believed that he should ask Shen Huai'an about this matter in the future, because it was a matter between the two of them.
