Chapter 865
someone claiming to be her grandfather."You have grown up and have the right to make your own choices. No matter what decision you make, your mom and I will respect your choice."An's father and his wi...As soon as Holly heard the words 'go to sleep', she thought of sharing a bed with this man tonight, and her whole body stiffened again.
After a few seconds of silence, she mechanically nodded her head and then quickly turned away from him, even her breathing was careful.
Lu Yin saw that she was only facing away from him, and hadn't moved further away. He didn't push his luck, turned off the lights, and calmly closed his eyes to sleep.
This man was quite at ease, while Helly remained on high alert.
In a dark and quiet room, the human senses become particularly acute.
Herly could hear the man's breathing behind her, feel the rise and fall of his chest. Every movement he made was magnified, becoming unclear.
After a long time, Lily felt Lu Yin's breathing become very even. She guessed that he must have fallen asleep and secretly let out a breath of relief.
After relaxing, sleep quickly took hold of her reason.
......
When I woke up the next day.
Seeing that the bedside was already empty, Holly blinked in confusion. Looking at the time, it was past nine o'clock.
Since she became pregnant, not only has her sleep time increased, but the quality of her sleep has also improved. She found a job that is more flexible, so she sleeps until natural awakening every day and then works after breakfast.
Today is Monday, Lu Yin should be at work.
He drew back his spirit, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom to wash.
Changed into pajamas, left the room, and saw a note on the fridge door left by Lu Yin: "I'm gone for class, someone will be here at noon. You arrange it."
"Is someone here" Holly frowned, pondering for a moment. She couldn't think of who would be coming.
Put the note away, then open the refrigerator and start making breakfast.
The ingredients were bought yesterday afternoon and are still quite fresh.
Because Lu Yin said someone came at noon, Kelly had breakfast and it was past ten o'clock. She didn't go out, sitting on the living room sofa reading a book.
11:30.
As expected, the sound of a knock on the door echoed through.
Helly put down the book in her hands and got up to open the door.
She was a kind woman in her late forties, carrying a bag of groceries. She found the woman in front of her very familiar and after a moment's thought, she remembered seeing her at the Tang family before—she was a servant there.
Then he remembered what Lu Yin had told him last night about asking the Tang family for people.
"Mrs. Lu, hello. I'm the one Mr. Lu asked to take care of you. You can call me Rong Ma. I took care of the Second Madam when she was pregnant before." The woman said with a smile.
That said, it wasn't meant to be boastful, just to prove that I really have experience taking care of pregnant women and put her at ease.
Hally nodded and made a gesture of invitation, asking Rong's mother to come in.
"Mrs. Lu, have you had lunch yet" Aunt Rong asked again.
Since she took the high reward Lu Yin gave her, she definitely had to take good care of him.
Heley hesitated for a moment before shaking her head in denial.
To avoid her thinking that he was waiting for her to cook, Holly picked up the tablet computer next to her and explained: 'I don't eat breakfast until almost 10 o'clock, and I usually only eat lunch around 1:30.'
"Then please wait a moment, Madam Lu, I'll go cook."
After Rong's mother finished speaking, she asked Helly about her dietary preferences again, the severity of her pregnancy symptoms, and so on. Once she had gathered all the necessary information, Rong's mother carried the ingredients towards the kitchen.
Perhaps it was because Holly resembled An Xiaotu, or maybe it was her easygoing nature, but Rong's impression of Holly was quite positive.
Hely also told Rong's aunt that she could use anything in the kitchen freely and didn't need to ask her.
Then, he sent a text message to Lu Yin, telling him that Rong's stepmother had arrived.
After a few minutes, Lu Yin sent back a text message, just three words: "Got it." You could say he was very sparing with his words.
Mrs. Rong cooks very quickly, in just over half an hour, she made three dishes and a soup. The amount of each dish on the table is not much.
Hely didn't treat Rongshen as a maid, and she felt embarrassed letting Rongshen watch her eat, so she invited Rongshen to sit down and have lunch together.
"I'm not willing to say that I left myself some food, and you can just eat it in the kitchen."
She remembered the rules of Tang's family servants: a servant did not eat at the master's table.
Holly went to the kitchen and took a look. Rong's dishes were indeed the same as hers, and she finally felt relieved.
After all, Rongshen was borrowed from Lu Yin by the Tang family. She already felt very embarrassed.
Later, she told Rong-Shen that from now on, she should cook more when making meals. That way, they wouldn't have to trouble themselves with cooking twice.
Have eaten lunch.
"Rong Shen suggested taking He Li for a walk, talking about the various benefits of a post-meal stroll. As she spoke, she brought up how she used to take care of Madam Er, and that Master Er always accompanied Madam Er for walks after meals."
Heli knew how much the second master and second mistress of the Tang family loved each other. She had seen it with her own eyes while living in the Tang residence before.
Er Ye and An Xiao Tu's love, she was envious of it, simply a textbook of love; and she also knew that she and Lu Yin, this life, the next life would never become like that, not even half as good.
Accompanying Madam Rong to the nearby shopping mall to buy dinner ingredients, I overheard that Lu Yin had arranged for Madam Rong to live in another building in the same complex, just a short distance away.
When she got back home and was about to take a nap, Herly just remembered that she had forgotten to ask Lu Yinwan if she wanted to come back for dinner.
Lying in bed, tossing and turning for a long time, I finally decided to send Lu Yin a text message: Will you be back for dinner If not, I'll tell Rong's aunt not to cook so much.
Lu Yin was likely busy, and Kelly almost fell asleep waiting before he finally responded with a single character: "reply."
As always, cherish words as gold.
Hely stared at the single character "return" for a long time, feeling a bit downhearted. She thought to herself: Couldn't he send back a few more words But she quickly dismissed this thought. If Lu Yin replied with a bunch of words, she might suspect if it was really him texting her.
Afternoon.
After waking up from her nap, Holly ate something to fill her stomach and then went into the study to work.
During that time, Rong's mother came for a visit and brought some freshly made snacks for Herly.
When it comes to taking care of pregnant women's diets, Rong's aunt is very experienced. Before, when her second mistress was heavily pregnant and suffered from nausea, her second master asked her to come up with ways to make more supplementary foods.
Moreover, Rong Shu thought that Kelly was too thin and remembered how her late master had once liked to keep the second mistress plump (although he ultimately failed). So, Rong Shu secretly decided that she must make the young mistress gain some weight. Just thinking about it made her feel a sense of accomplishment.
Hely didn't know what Rong Shen was thinking, she just felt that Rong Shen was indeed very capable. The food she served was exactly to Hely's taste and she couldn't find a single flaw.
This is the first time I genuinely agree with Lu Yin's actions.
Aunt Rong's cooking time was always precise.
In the evening, Lu Yin went home from work. After a few minutes, he could have dinner.had to confront Si Kong Liu Yi face-to-face, and absolutely couldn't let Xi Xiu know about that secret from back then. 。"Brother Cheng, rest assured, I would never deceive you." 。Si Kong Liu Yi didn'...
