âButâ¦â She wanted to say that she would be late after dinner, but before she could say anything, he glared at her coldly. She could only nod and do as he said.
The takeout arrived very quickly. Chi Xia went to the kitchen and rummaged through the cabinet. She took out a few plates and poured the food out before placing it on the dining table.
As they ate, the atmosphere became awkward. Chi Xia found a topic to talk about and asked, ââDo you not stay here often? The kitchen is empty, and thereâs nothing in the fridge.â
Su Chen replied with an â Mm. â He looked at Chi Xia calmly. â If you feel that youâre missing anything, you can help me make up for it. After youâre done, you can ask me for reimbursement. â
âNo, itâs quite good.â He treated her like a nanny and even asked her to help him with the household items.
After Chi Xia said that, Su Chen glared at her coldly and she quickly changed her words, ââYou donât live here often, and the kitchen doesnât cook. Itâs useless to buy those things.â
âHow do you know I donât stay here often?â Su Chen was a little unhappy because of her rejection. He thought about it and said, âââ Iâll come over to sleep when I have social events. If I donât, Iâll go home for dinner. I live here four or five days a week. If I can cook here, I wonât go home. â
âNot going home? Donât you like living with your parents?â
Chi Xia asked casually and saw the manâs expression turn cold. She didnât know what she said wrong. Then, she heard Su Chen say coldly, ââMy dad passed away.â
âIâm sorry.â Chi Xia lowered her head and apologized. â What about your mother? â she asked.
âShe remarried.â Su Chen said casually, â So, other than the servants, Iâm the only one at home. â
Chi Xia didnât know about Su Chenâs private affairs. She thought that he was a young master who was high and mighty outside and everything was under his control.
Presumably, if he went home alone, he would rather come back here. The house was smaller, and his heart was not as empty.
After some thought, Chi Xia raised her head and smiled at Su Chen. â Then Iâll help you make up for the things youâre missing when Iâm free. If you donât want to go home in the future, you can ask your servant to cook for you. Itâll be more convenient that way.
Su Chen narrowed his eyes. A certain emotion flashed through his heart, so fast that he couldnât catch it.
He put down his chopsticks and stared at the smile on her face. His tone was so confident. â Youâre my girlfriend. Shouldnât you be the one cooking and taking care of me? â
Do you think Iâm a free nanny?â
âIf I spend money to hire a nanny like you, wouldnât that be a bad deal?â
Chi Xia was speechless.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She was the one at a disadvantage, alright?
After dinner, Chi Xia sat on the sofa and ate some fruit when the landline phone rang. Su Chen wasnât in the living room, so she heard the man shout, ââAnswer the phone.â
Chi Xia picked up the call and answered with a â Hello â. She felt the other end of the line quiet for a while before asking, ââlâm looking for Chen Chen. You are?â
It was a womanâs voice. Chi Xia thought about it and replied, ââlâm the nanny. Itâs not convenient for Mr. Smith to answer the phone now.â
âIâm her mother. Help me tell him to come home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.â
After hanging up, Chi Xia turned around and saw Su Chen standing behind her. She was shocked.
Su Chen raised his eyebrows. â It seems like youâre very familiar with the role of a nanny. â
Chi Xia smiled awkwardly. â Your mother called just now and asked you to come home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She guessed that this man did not want to go to his stepfatherâs place to celebrate..
