Chapter 04.1

The next morning, Su Qian was awakened by the delicious smell of food in her dream. She opened her eyes, and her stomach grumbled embarrassingly.

She touched her hungry stomach, but what she thought of was the taste of her hometown. She had been here for a few days, and she hadn’t had a decent meal, which was really miserable.

After washing up, Su Qian went downstairs and found that the enticing aroma was not from her dream, but was actually coming from the kitchen.

Chen Yu greeted Su Qian perfunctorily and placed the carefully prepared breakfast on the table one by one. Her expression was a bit sweet, and a bit expectant.

Su Qian tasted it carefully.

Oh, it turns out that her dear husband not only bloomed outside the wall, but also grew grass inside. The dog man’s appearance was indeed not in vain.

Su Qian sat in the position of the mistress, propped her chin with her hand, and leisurely watched Chen Yu carefully set the knife and fork for Jin Lie.

“Do you like Jin Lie? Does Zhou Bingyan know your thoughts?”

Clang——

The fork fell on the plate, making a harsh sound. Chen Yu suddenly looked up, a flash of panic in her eyes.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Su Qian showed a smile that seemed to see through everything, “No problem, I’ll make you understand.”

After saying that, she lowered her head and turned on the Bluetooth speaker in the living room with her phone.

【Ah——

The joyful drums ring out the joy of each year,

Beautiful dances bring daily merriment……】

A high and passionate female voice came from the sound system, echoing in the large living room.

Chen Yu was startled by the sudden sound, and the plate almost fell to the ground.

【Ah——

Today is a good day,

Everything you wish for can come true……】

Jin Lie came down from upstairs, his temples throbbing from the loud drumming.

He lifted his eyelids to look at Su Qian, who was immersed in the music, and used his voice to turn off the sound system.

The living room suddenly quieted down, and all four ears were saved.

“Do you like it so stimulating early in the morning?”

Su Qian pretended not to understand his sarcasm, and considerately said, “If you don’t like it, I can change it to the evening.”

After yesterday’s “deep interaction”, Jin Lie clearly knew that she was full of twisted and wicked words. In order to have a peaceful breakfast, he decided to ignore Su Qian.

He picked up the knife and fork, slowly cut the fried egg, and elegantly put it into his mouth.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the birds were chirping and the flowers were fragrant. The faint sunlight sprinkled on his shoulders, and his slightly curled hair looked particularly soft and fluffy.

This man really looked like a painting all the time.

“Do you still like the taste?”

Chen Yu was obviously also intoxicated by his stunningly handsome face. The words she said made Su Qian get goosebumps all over.

“Hmm.”

Getting affirmation, Chen Yu lifted her chin and gave Su Qian a look that said “It’s enough that Mr. Jin likes it even if you don’t”. It had quite the meaning of a mistress provoking the main wife.

But Su Qian was not in a hurry. A cook’s skills are just about stir-frying and making soup.

And she, she can flip tables with her abilities.

She curved the corners of her mouth, leisurely propped her head with her hand, and watched Jin Lie without moving.

One second…

Fifteen seconds…

Half a minute…

…

Jin Lie felt like he was being stared at, put down his knife and fork, and turned his gaze on her.

“What are you looking at?”

“I just wanted to remind you that you promised me something last night.”

Yesterday when she said “slaying mischief”, Jin Lie thought she meant “commit suicide”. But this thought vanished in an instant, he didn’t believe that Su Qian, with her thick skin, would have such a clear self-awareness.

“So what do you want to do?”

Su Qian’s red lips curved, and she got straight to the point, “I don’t want to see her in this house.”

Chen Yu’s face stiffened, and she quickly glanced at Jin Lie’s reaction.

Not to mention that she has Zhou Bingyan behind her, most importantly, it was Mrs. Jin who personally introduced her. If she really fired her, it would be a blatant slap in Mrs. Jin’s face.

Jin Lie didn’t like Su Qian, so how could he offend his own mother for her?

Thinking of this, Chen Yu’s confidence rose instantly, and she said with a stiff neck, “If there’s anything I’m not doing well, madam can tell me.”

This kind of thing is as small as a grain of sand in Jin Lie’s eyes, it’s not even worth mentioning.

However, he was curious. Every time he came back before, he saw that Su Qian and Chen Yu got along well, he thought Su Qian liked Chen Yu.

Jin Lie took a sip of orange juice and asked lightly, “What did she do to upset you?”

Su Qian scooped up a spoonful of lily porridge from the bowl, her little finger deliberately raised, her affected posture was very much in line with a drama queen who was about to start making trouble.

“She put sugar in my porridge, who knows if she will put arsenic in it next time.”

“Is arsenic the same as sugar?”

“I don’t like sugar. Isn’t it the same principle as your honey is my arsenic?”

Jin Lie scoffed, “Is that a principle?” It’s clearly twisted logic.

Su Qian raised her eyebrows.

Yesterday this man was still very magnanimous, but now he’s not the same. As expected, you can rely on a man as much as a pig can climb a tree.

“Alright then, I’ll change the reason. You’re so good-looking, if there’s another young woman in the house, who knows if she’ll plant grass on my head.”

What kind of logic is this?

“Aren’t you also quite good-looking?”

His gaze fell straight on her, his deep eye sockets were pitch black, and when he looked at people without moving, it seemed to be filled with infinite affection.

Being stared at with such focused eyes by this kind of demon, anyone’s heart would beat faster.

But Su Qian, who has a God’s perspective, was not confused. She just wants to live peacefully and safely in this book now.

At this moment, all the maneuvering is to pave the way for her future self.

Su Qian couldn’t believe it, she looked like she had caught a handle, “You actually started sweet-talking me for a nanny! Do you think I would believe that you are sincerely praising me for being good-looking? Don’t think I don’t know that all this is just a means to keep her.”

She sighed with extreme disappointment, “I really didn’t expect you to lower your standards for an irrelevant person.”
