C14 Warm

"Alright." Xu Chencan nodded, steadied himself, and walked over to the table to eat.

What made her feel strange was that Chu Lingyu's career was so successful and her house was so big, but she didn't see any servants. When she entered, she saw only Aunt Ling and a nanny who was responsible for cooking.

However, the house was spotlessly clean, as if it was being cleaned every day.

This home was truly peaceful.

Chu Lingyu's movements were graceful. She was serious and quiet when she ate, so Aunt Ling did not say a word.

Xu Chencan didn't say anything else, but continued to eat his meal quietly.

After dinner, the nanny came over and cleaned up the dishes.

Chu Lingyu asked her, "Do you want to take a walk?"

Xu Chencan did indeed have the habit of taking a walk after dinner, but … She was still unfamiliar with Chu Lingyu, even if they walked together, there was nothing to talk about, it would definitely be very awkward. Furthermore … How was she going to get out of here with all these clothes on?

Thinking of this, she shook her head. "I'll talk to Aunt Ling for a while."

"Yes." Chu Lingyu nodded indifferently, and without further ado, she changed into a pair of shoes and went out.

"ChenCan, do you want some fruits?" Aunt Ling took a plate of fresh fruits and set it on the table, waving at Xu Chencan.

Xu ChenCan smiled and sat down across from her. She picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. The sweet juice made her eyes curved into a smile. "It's delicious."

Aunt Ling smiled. "These fruits were personally picked by mister, so they're naturally delicious."

"Chu Lingyu personally picked it?" Xu Chencan was somewhat surprised.

In the Xu Family, picking out fruits was the job of a servant. Not to mention Xu Qiming, even Xu Yaoxi was extremely dismissive of such matters. She was afraid that the juices of the fruits would stain her beautiful dress.

Chu Lingyu actually did such a thing, it was really related to his identity … No.

"Yeah." Aunt Ling smiled and said, "Mister is used to getting up early and getting out of bed early every morning to run. He also goes to the nearby market to bring back some fresh vegetables and fruits. After a while, they all knew him and would leave the best to him. "Therefore, our family's fruit is the best."

Xu Chencan listened in a daze.

She really did not expect that such a cold person like Chu Lingyu would actually do such a warm thing.

It seems that the saying 'one cannot judge by appearance' was indeed true.

"Then who cleaned this house?" Xu Chencan asked the question that lingered in his mind.

With such a large and clean house, only Aunt Ling and the nanny would be busy.

Moreover, Aunt Ling and the nanny had very well-preserved hands, so it was obvious that they weren't people who did dirty work.

"Teacher will ask the people from the home management company to come over and help with the cleaning up. They will come over every morning, eat a meal here at noon, and then leave in the afternoon."

A member of a home company?

Xu Qiming had never invited anyone from his home company over.

He had once said that those people were short of money and wanted to steal his things.

But the servants were different. They gave him a feeling of superiority.

Therefore, the Xu Family had raised many servants.

Xu Chencan smiled at Aunt Ling. "Thank you for telling me so much, Aunt Ling."

Now that she had some understanding of Chu Lingyu, her heart was much more at ease.

"Of course I'll tell you everything, since you are the wife that the gentleman has chosen. "Why are you being so courteous?" Aunt Ling patted the back of her hand. "You're my wife. I'm just a housekeeper."

Xu Chencan smiled, but said nothing.

She was still unable to accept the word 'Madam'.

Once, Xu Chencan had believed that he would never get married again.

Because her parents' marriage had cast so much shadow over her.

Her mother's departure, her father's hatred, and her stepmother's desire for her father's money made her doubt that there really was any such thing as pure love in the world.

Xu Chencan had never told anyone about her fear of marriage and her love for men. Not trusted.

In her view, marriage was a means, a means of using each other.

For example, the current her and Chu Lingyu.

As he thought of this, the emotions he had been feeling because of Chu Lingyu gradually disappeared.

Her mood once again became tranquil.

"Aunt Ling, I still have to go to work tonight. I'll go back to sleep first."

"Chencan, what time do you work nights?" Aunt Ling asked with concern.

"Arrive at the hospital at two in the morning."

A pained expression appeared on Aunt Ling's face. "This kind of work is too difficult. Can you bear it?"

Xu Chencan smiled. "I'm fine. I'm fine after getting used to it." The job of an intern was indeed heavy, but compared to the pain and suffering she had suffered in the Xu Family, she still preferred this life of fulfillment to hers.

"Then go back and rest." Aunt Ling urged her.

"Alright, good night, Aunt Ling." After saying this, Xu Chencan smiled at her, turned around and ran upstairs.

Auntie Ling took out her cell phone and ordered a ringtone for one o'clock in the morning.

When Chu Lingyu had returned from her walk, it was only a little after eight. However, Xu Chencan was no longer in the living room.

He looked around and asked Aunt Ling, "Where's Madam?"

"Madam said that she had to get up early in the morning to go on the night shift, so she went back to her room to sleep."

"Night shift?" Chu Lingyu frowned.

He knew the work of the doctor was hard, but he had not expected it to be this hard.

"Yes, I'll get up early in the morning and drive the lady back to the hospital." Aunt Ling replied warmly.

"Very good." Chu Lingyu nodded, and without further ado, returned to her study.

At this moment, Xu Chencan was tossing and turning on his bed, unable to fall asleep. He didn't know if it was due to the bed selection.

After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, she sat up dejectedly, changed into her original set of clothes, and went downstairs.

Aunt Ling was about to go to bed when she saw her fully dressed and was surprised. "ChenCan, what's wrong?"

"Aunt Ling, I can't sleep … You want to go straight to the hospital's duty room to sleep? " Xu Chencan didn't expect to alarm Aunt Ling, so he felt a bit embarrassed.

"Well, wait a moment." She went to the door, put on her coat, changed her shoes, took her car keys, and nodded. "Let's go."

"Aunt Ling, are you going out as well?" Xu Chencan didn't understand.

Aunt Ling smiled. "I'll take you to the hospital. Such a beautiful girl like you, how can you be at ease if you go out late at night? "

It was just a normal sentence of concern. Xu Chencan was stunned for a moment before his eyes slowly turned red, "Aunt Ling …" Thank you, you're so kind. "

This sort of warmth was something she had never felt before in the Xu Family.

When she had just started her internship, she had also chosen to go home to sleep after work and go to the hospital in the middle of the night.

But everyone in the family found it annoying for her to get up so late in the night, let alone worry about her safety and send her to the hospital.

"Aunt Ling, no matter what, I have to thank you."

The Xu Family also had many servants, but those were servants who watched the dishes being served.

Seeing that Xu Qiming did not mind her being his daughter, they also went along and added insult to injury. No one had ever considered her safety.

Aunt Ling smiled warmly and patted her on the shoulder. "Wipe your tears off. Let's go. We won't be beautiful if we keep crying."

"Yes." Xu ChenCan nodded and followed Aunt Ling to the shed in the yard.

She didn't notice that upstairs, in Chu Lingyu's room, there was no light, but there was a figure standing behind the window, silently watching her.
