Chapter 15: The Open-minded Maid

  "I've already said that, I've already had lunch." Gu Xi lay back down with some annoyance, turned over, and pulled the quilt tighter. Inside, she was resentful of this man who must be sick, not only being overly sentimental but also a control freak.

  "This will hurt your stomach if you go down, get up, okay?" In front of a girl ten years younger than him, he seemed particularly caring. Frowning, he pulled open her quilt and clearly saw her slender body, tightly wrapped in a thin camisole.

  A gust of wind blew by, and she only then realized that she had been seen through, but she didn't care. In her middle school days, they often changed clothes in the dormitory. The boys opposite would often buy a telescope to sneak a peek, and sometimes even made malicious phone calls to tease them, this kind of situation was nothing new to her.

  The warm quilt was lifted, and she didn't feel sleepy. She just stared at him with a glance, then walked to the nearby trunk, took out a blue inner shirt and sky-blue jeans. A white woolen sweater for warmth, went into the bathroom without closing the door and changed.

  "Have you had enough?" She came out and took a blue denim jacket from the bedside, with many shiny decorative chains on her shoulders, which complemented her skin tone. She walked to Ling Hao Yu's side and pushed him away, originally he stepped on her black flat Martin boots.

  。

  "Girl, what are you going to do?" Ling Haoyu was completely shocked by her, and it's true that nowadays kids are very open-minded, which makes it a bit hard for him to accept.

  "What are you doing? Count to three and don't move, don't think about using your family's food to coax me. I've long known what your mother is thinking. Before leaving, help you out - there are many women who want to pounce on you, enough to circle the earth, of course excluding me. Why do you always have disagreements with your mother?"

  Gu Xi remembered the last time she saw Ling's mother, although they were not familiar, but Ling's mother had a deep impression on her mind. Such a big household, yet there was no pretentiousness at all, and it was very kind. Perhaps because the affection around her was too weak, this kind of mother made her heart clearer, she had already decided to go and do some part-time job for a few days. The full fare would be paid, and then she would go home to apply for an ID card again before coming back.

  "Really agreed?" Ling Hao Yu hastily stood up, possibly a bit excited and put his hand on Gu Xi's shoulder, but in his heart he was delighted and had already deleted the words about leaving later.

  "Your mother is really great, hurry up and find a partner, let her hold her grandson." This sentence coming from an indifferent little girl seems somewhat unexpected.

  "What? My little sister really agreed to marry me?"

  "What? When did I become yours? How could I possibly get married? What kind of international joke is this?" Gu Xi heard his chuckles and felt a bit disgusted, shaking off his hand and walking out of the yard to take the passenger seat.

  Whenever marriage is mentioned, she becomes so angry, perhaps it's because of her unhappy family. Her parents quarrel every day, which has more or less affected her fear of marriage. Moreover, the fear of marriage is a common symptom among young people nowadays. She hasn't been in a relationship for several years, let alone managing a marriage.

  "Are you angry? I forgot to say, your angry face is especially beautiful." Ling Hao Yu seemed to be pleased with her attitude today, and even felt a little complacent. He smiled foolishly for a moment before getting into the car and fastening her seatbelt, saying in a nagging tone.

  "Whatever! Go ahead and be arrogant by yourself then."

  "No, no, I was wrong. How about a piece of music?" Ling Hao Yu undid his seatbelt and started to feel a bit scared. He quickly pressed her down and fastened it back, turning on the music.

  A melancholic "Are You Watching the Lonely Scenery" is lingering in his ears, does this kind of person also like to listen to this kind of unique song? Or should I rather believe that it's that good 90s girl who intentionally brought it up to educate him.

  。

  She turned her head to look out the window, row upon row of green trees swaying gently outside. These trees really can make people feel calm and serene at heart. It's so cold yet there are hardly any yellow leaves, it seems like there aren't four distinct seasons like back home where in winter the trees are bare, and only start to grow new buds when spring arrives, whereas F city is always lush and green all year round.

  Half an hour later, the car headed to C Street, where there were luxurious villas one after another, looking very comfortable. The layout here is different from that of the other villas, which are more concentrated, with streets passing by for convenient shopping, making it more suitable for a large family to live in. Several courtyards are adjacent to each other, with lush green lawns on the ground and four green trees shading them, but I don't know what kind of trees they are. It's rare to have such a beautiful and quiet environment in a big city.

  "Oh, little Yu is back, and the daughter-in-law is also back." The doorbell rang, and a familiar voice was heard. A person wearing a lovely apron with a big white garlic in hand appeared. Following the sunset, I saw all sorts of dishes on the table, giving me a New Year's feeling.

  The color tone in the house is a warm and cozy pink, with a large family photo hanging on the wall. It evokes a sense of home in Gu Xi's heart - this is what it feels like to have a home! Before long, an elderly man with white hair comes out, wearing thick black-framed glasses. Despite his advanced age, he doesn't have a hunched back and walks steadily with his hands clasped behind him.

  "Is it you?!" A shrill voice startled the whole family. It turned out that Lin Xiaorong had seen her and ran over to hold her arm, only now believing that the person she had been thinking about in her heart would really appear by some miracle, and upon seeing her, forgot all about the matter of the sister-in-law.

  "How did you two know each other?" Ling Hao Yu smiled and pushed Gu Xi and Lin Xiao Rong to sit on the sofa.

  "This world is really small." Gu Xi said somewhat impatiently.

  This simple and unreasonable girl in front of me, today's appearance is not annoying at all, and even feels a bit cute. But she hasn't forgotten that she spent a cold night in prison, how can such a miserable memory be erased?

  "Yes, I think so too. Look at me, I'm recovering quickly! Thank you so much, what's your name?" Lin Xiaorong said with a pout, still holding onto her arm.

  "Hurt? Rongrong, where did you and Xiaoxi meet?" Ling Haoyu suddenly sat up excitedly beside Gu Xi, his hands involuntarily placed on her knees, with a very innocent and adorable expression.

  "This is a secret, so exciting"

  。”

  "Still provocative, next time better not run into me, really can't stand it, provocative? Next time let you try being locked up."

  Gu Xi didn't intend to say these things out loud, but Lin Xiaorong's naive words had irritated her. She pushed away their arms and got up herself, walking over to another sofa where she picked up the remote control and changed the channel to watch entertainment news.

  "Go to jail? Oh? So it was you who got into trouble?" Ling Haoyu reached out and pinched Lin Xiaorong's ear, whispering.

  "Ah! Don't, it hurts so much! I... how am I supposed to know?" Lin Xiaorong's eyes narrowed in fear, she shook off his hand, lifted her buttocks and moved a meter away, handing a slice of pineapple to Gu Xi.

  "This dead girl, don't parents need help?" Ling Hao Yu smiled slyly and pressed Lin Xiao Rong's head, then walked into the kitchen.

  "No need, it's already started. Go and accompany them, Old Ling, you see, I told you so, this girl is really pretty." Looking at her mother with a radiant smile on her face, she picked up the bright white porcelain bowl to scoop the soup.

  "Hmm, this girl is nice, but it seems like she has something on her mind."

  "Look, you said so. Hurry up and scoop it out, the kids are all hungry."

  Ling Hao Yu hasn't been this happy in a long time, but why is he always so distracted? He's worried that the happy times might be short-lived. Looking at the little girl not far away, his heart feels more and more uncomfortable. How can he possibly understand her inner thoughts? He really wants to take a knife and cut open her brain to know everything about her. Such a small and delicate person must have gone through many things. He wants to know everything about her.

  Her mother was very enthusiastic, and she ladled out the soup, and even added some chicken wings to Gu Xi's bowl. This enthusiasm made her a bit uncomfortable, as her father usually didn't bother her much, but whenever there were guests at home, he would whisper orders for her to do this and that, no matter how rebellious she was.

  Of course, in such a situation, she would also give her father face, especially when it came to his wine and meat friends. Those uncles who talked big would say things like, "Come help me serve some rice." She would get up and walk over to the electric rice cooker, roll up her sleeves, scoop out the rice once, twice, three times, using all her strength to flatten the rice into a small mountain shape in the bowl. Then she would hastily eat a few mouthfuls of rice and head back to her room. The lazy uncles were left feeling extremely embarrassed, unable to decide where to start eating from when it was time to dig in. Her father would awkwardly say, "This child, how will she marry into a wealthy family in the future?"

  Marry into a wealthy family?
