It had been a long time since Li Aunty last saw Yan Yincheng. She felt rather embarrassed. Clearing her throat, she tried to make her attitude seem colder and said,
"Let me make it clear first. I'm willing to come up because Mr. Yan you gave me a big red envelope before. So I'm here to return the favor. I will never betray the young miss."
By emphasizing her loyalty especially, Mr. Yan should not force her to do anything against her will, right?
Yan Yincheng frowned and said, "Wei Shu, give me an explanation."
Wei Shu lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "Sorry, Third Master. It was my own idea to invite Li Aunty here."
"You're really capable," Yan Yincheng said coldly. "You even know to make decisions without consulting me, huh?"
"Third Master, I saw that your stomach has been hurting badly these days. That's why I thought of inviting Li Aunty here. Although... Li Aunty's cooking skills are a bit worse than Miss Yuan's, at least she was trained by Miss Yuan, so the taste should not be bad, right?"
Li Aunty standing aside: "..." Well, she admitted that her cooking skills were indeed much worse than the young miss's. But it was really heart - wrenching to have it said so straightforwardly in front of her!
Seeing that Yan Yincheng's face was still cold, Wei Shu said, "Just this once, okay?"
It was a long time before Yan Yincheng said in the direction where Li Aunty was,
"Sorry, Li Aunty. It was all Wei Shu's own idea. If you're not willing, you can leave now. I'll have someone see you off."
Li Aunty said expressionlessly, "I've already come."
Yan Yincheng said, "Then it won't be troublesome. Just cook a bowl of noodles."
Wei Shu was overjoyed and quickly responded, "Okay!"
Pushing Li Aunty into the kitchen, Wei Shu clasped his hands together and said, "Li Aunty, Third Master said just a bowl of noodles. Please."
Li Aunty cooked a bowl of tomato and egg noodles for Yan Yincheng. The golden - fried eggs were laid on top of the noodles, looking very appetizing. When she brought the noodles to the dining table and watched Yan Yincheng pick up the noodles with chopsticks, both Li Aunty and Wei Shu standing in front of the dining table felt a bit nervous.
Li Aunty was nervous because she knew that Yan Yincheng was extremely picky about food. When they still lived in the villa in the south of the city, she was in charge of his lunch for a while. However, the two babies could finish the same food completely, but Yan Yincheng always left half of it. And the food cooked by Xu Zixi, he would still want more after eating it all.
Wei Shu was nervous because he was worried that Yan Yincheng would still just take a couple of bites as a formality like before. But... one bite, two bites, three bites...
The tomatoes had been boiled, and the sweet - and - sour juice was mixed with the noodle soup, which was very appetizing. Although the salt was a bit too much, the noodles were cooked a bit too long, and the eggs were fried a bit too old, there was still a hint of familiar taste, which made Yan Yincheng unconsciously take a few more bites.
Wei Shu let out a long sigh of relief. Great! It was worth him lowering his pride to invite her here!
However, this bowl of noodles was not made by the person he really wanted. After just taking a few more bites, Yan Yincheng was no longer willing to pick up his chopsticks.
He said hoarsely, "Wei Shu, send Li Aunty back. Remember to pay for this meal."
When sending Li Aunty downstairs, in the elevator, Wei Shu wanted to say something several times but finally held it back.
On the first floor, the familiar Maybach was already waiting there.
Wei Shu opened the door and wanted to send Li Aunty into the car. Li Aunty quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need. I can go back by myself."
Seeing her insistence, Wei Shu didn't try to persuade her anymore. But after thinking for a while, he said to Li Aunty,
"Sorry, Li Aunty. Our Third Master has a little stomach problem. Once he doesn't eat properly, it will act up badly. This time because of Miss Yuan's departure, Third Master is very sad and has no appetite. So his stomach problem has flared up again. I saw that Third Master was really suffering, so I had someone invite you here. I hope you don't mind that it delayed your time to go home."
After saying that, he looked at Li Aunty with hopeful eyes. He hoped that Li Aunty could be touched by his Third Master's miserable situation and say some good words for him in front of Xu Zixi.
Who would have thought that Li Aunty didn't understand his hint at all and said, "It's okay. I'm not short of this little time. It's okay to go back a bit later."
After saying that, she waved her hand and was about to leave. But then she suddenly turned back and said,
"Mr. Yan really did go too far with the young miss before. Being honest is the most important thing in life. Even if he wanted to recognize the two children, he could have done it openly. Why did he use a fake name to deceive the young miss? If he were my son - in - law, I would definitely beat him with a broom and make him get as far away as possible."
Wei Shu thought to himself: Is there hope? Will Li Aunty be willing to say good words for the Third Master?
He quickly echoed on his lips, "Yes, yes, yes. You're absolutely right."
"But from what you said, Mr. Yan is also self - blaming and sad, which means he still has a conscience and can still be saved. You should persuade him to bow his head and apologize to the young miss earlier. If he has to kneel on the washboard, then kneel. If necessary, buy a durian and kneel at the door. Maybe the young miss will forgive him for his sincerity. A man, especially a husband, should know how to love his wife and be good to her. A man full of lies is not worthy of being entrusted with one's whole life."
After saying that, she even gave Wei Shu a look that seemed to say "Do you understand what I mean?"
Wei Shu wanted to cry but had no tears. It wasn't that his Third Master didn't want to bow his head. It was just that Miss Yuan was completely unmoved, and they had no other way!
After cooking a bowl of noodles and saying all these things, Li Aunty felt that she had done her best. Waving her hand, she left with a saying, "Just consider this meal tonight as my way of returning Mr. Yan's matchmaker red envelope. You don't need to pay me. I'm leaving. Bye."
Wei Shu: "..." Is she just leaving like this?! Could she at least give a definite answer about whether she could help or not!
Forget it. If necessary, he would just block her every day in the future!
After eating the noodles cooked by Li Aunty, Yan Yincheng finally felt a bit more comfortable. The familiar taste made him think of the two children just one floor away.
Zixi had been busy with the second test of the model these days. She was probably working overtime again at this moment. The two children should have eaten the same food cooked by Li Aunty as him tonight.
Without anyone to accompany them, he wondered what they were doing now. Were they playing with Lego or drawing?
He suddenly remembered what Zhou Yaru had told him, that the two children had said "missing uncle" with their own mouths.
Actually, he also missed the two children very much. But he didn't dare to show this kind of longing because he was afraid that Zixi would misunderstand that all he had done was for the two children.
Why not take advantage of Zixi's busyness these two days and find a chance to meet the two children?
Well... But it had been a long time since they last met. If he suddenly showed up, shouldn't he bring some gifts?
After they got engaged, besides the piano, he had actually prepared other gifts for her. But those gifts took a long time to make. Before he could give them out, their relationship was over. So they had been sitting in the room where she used to live in the south - city villa.
Why not take this opportunity to give out those gifts? Maybe after seeing those gifts and feeling his sincere repentance, Zixi would forgive him.
Oh yes, Li Aunty cooked a meal for him and said she was returning the favor and didn't want the money. He should also give her a gift. Since Li Aunty had one, Aunt Zhang should not be left out, and also Teacher Chen...
When Xu Zixi got home after working overtime at night, the two babies were already asleep. When the two babies woke up the next morning, Xu Zixi had already gone to work. The three of them were so busy that they didn't even have a chance to talk to each other. So, a little plan took shape in Yuan Xiaoxuan's little mind.
During the day, the two babies had classes with Teacher Chen in the morning, and there was no arrangement in the afternoon.
Yuan Xiaoxuan grabbed Aunt Zhang's hand and suddenly said to her,
"Aunt Zhang, Xuanxuan wants to go to the park to play with sand with younger brother. Is that okay?"
