After talking with Xia Yu for a while, An Siyao shifted her gaze to Yin Wan and Yin Ling.
“She really looks like her, right? I was shocked at first too,” Xia Yu said, sitting on the sofa.
“Mm,” An Siyao replied.
She and Xia Yu began chatting about other things. During the casual conversation, An Siyao repeatedly glanced at Yin Wan.
This made Yin Wan very anxious.
Why is this rich girl always looking at me? What does she want to do?
Finally, An Siyao spoke to her: “You can help out in the kitchen.”
“???” Yin Wan looked confused.
What does this mean? Am I supposed to stay in the kitchen?
Am I—being sold out?
She looked at Yi Shuyu in disbelief.
“You wanted a job, right? Then just stay here and help out,” Xia Yu said.
Yin Wan didn’t dare to say anything or ask further questions. Feeling the repeated glances from An Siyao just moments ago, she felt quite uneasy.
This isn’t the kind of job I wanted.
An Siyao then called a maid over, instructing her to take Yin Wan downstairs.
At the same time, Yin Ling was led away to play.
Now, only Xia Yu and An Siyao remained in the living room.
“Is there something wrong with Yin Wan?” Xia Yu asked.
He had noticed An Siyao’s repeated glances. That look wasn’t just how one would examine a servant girl.
“She looks a bit like my mother,” An Siyao’s expression turned somewhat somber.
Sitting down beside the girl, Xia Yu reached out and hugged her.
After comforting An Siyao, Xia Yu went to see Xu Youxiang.
Upon learning that this elderly woman’s body was the key to curing his leg, Xu Youxiang felt excited.
Staying at An Siyao’s villa until four o’clock, Xia Yu took Yin Ling and left.
“Grandma, Mom hasn’t come up yet,” Yin Ling looked at Xia Yu with wide eyes.
“Mom isn’t coming up. She’ll stay here,” Xia Yu replied.
“I want Mom,” Yin Ling refused to get into the driver’s car.
“We can come back when you miss her,” Xia Yu said again. He had decided to leave Yin Wan at the An family villa, naturally not allowing her to leave again.
“I don’t want to,” the girl shook her head and turned her gaze back toward the villa.
After a moment of silence, Xia Yu threw out a question: “What do you want to eat tonight?”
Yin Ling immediately turned her head back from looking at the villa: “What can we eat?”
“Hot pot, barbecue, Lingshengke, KendeYa…”
“I’ve heard of them, I’ve heard of them!” Yin Ling said excitedly.
Although she had only heard of these foods before and never actually tasted them, she already felt hungry.
“Then hurry up and get in the car. Let’s go have dinner,” Xia Yu smiled.
Putting aside thoughts of Yin Wan, Yin Ling happily got into the car.
In the car, she enthusiastically discussed what they would eat for dinner.
Yin Ling had never been able to afford these foods due to financial hardship, but from the driver’s perspective, it seemed like a rich girl’s rare indulgence in nutritionally unbalanced fast food.
He first sighed in admiration, thinking how simple pleasures could bring happiness even to the wealthy, and then turned his thoughts to serious matters.
The second young miss had stayed at the villa all afternoon before immediately leaving, and her foster mother had remained behind at the villa. What did this signify?
Had the young miss reached some sort of mutual benefit agreement with this elderly woman, who represented another faction of the Yu family, thereby gaining recognition of An Siyao’s status?
That must be why the second young miss left to stay elsewhere.
Truly worthy of being the eldest miss—troubles were almost resolved upon first meeting.
The reason for saying “almost” was because the second young miss hadn’t yet left Yaoguang. Most likely, she was staying to monitor the eldest miss fulfilling her promises and preventing any betrayal.
The second young miss’s foster mother remaining at the villa was unknown whether it was for surveillance or punishment.
This was none of his business; he only needed to know that the second young miss was nearly out of the game.
Therefore, he wouldn’t be suspected by the eldest miss.
The driver felt cheerful.
After returning from Yi Shulan, Xia Yu’s heart also felt cheerful.
He had a good nap.
The next morning when he woke up, it was already eight o’clock.
Getting up at eight o’clock would definitely make him late for class, but today was Labor Day, so there was no class.
Labor Day was a global holiday for working people, just like National Day, and it was the longest holiday apart from winter and summer breaks.
After playing on his phone in bed for a while, Xia Yu got up to wash up.
“Good morning,” Feng Yujia, already washed and ready, greeted him.
“Morning,” Xia Yu replied simply, brushing his teeth on his own.
Feng Yujia looked down at her off-the-shoulder camisole, then calmly returned to her bedroom.
She took off the camisole and threw it heavily onto the bed.
He didn’t even bother to look!
Standing in front of the mirror, Feng Yujia examined her shoulders.
Her fair skin and elegant collarbone looked perfect from any angle. Among all the girls she knew, only An Siyao’s shoulders were better than hers. Why couldn’t she attract Xia Yu?
She felt defeated. This was not the first time she had felt this frustration from Xia Yu.
For more than half a month, Feng Yujia had stayed here trying to attract Xia Yu’s attention, but she had failed continuously.
Now Feng Yujia understood what “tired and no longer in love” truly meant.
Sighing, she decided to give up.
Changing into more conservative clothes, Feng Yujia entered the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
At the dining table, she bid Xia Yu farewell.
“We’re planning to return to Yaoguang,” Feng Yujia said.
Xia Yu originally didn’t care, but after taking a bite of the pancake, he suddenly realized something.
If Feng Yujia left, would he have to eat Youxue’s breakfast again?
Although Feng Yujia’s cooking skills weren’t as good as Yan Wei’s, they were slightly better than Youxue’s. Her dishes were barely passable.
Now, the delicious food was going to leave him?
A look of regret involuntarily appeared on Xia Yu’s face.
Noticing this regretful expression, Feng Yujia felt joy in her heart.
It seemed he wasn’t completely indifferent to her after all!
“Well, we’re not in a big hurry,” she thought. If Xia Yu tried to stop her, she would stay a few more days.
But Xia Yu’s reply was: “When are you leaving? I’ll see you off.”
Gritting her teeth, Feng Yujia gave up completely. In the afternoon, she left Purple Lang with Feng Yumo.
After seeing them off, Xia Yu continued doing his exercises.
“Brother, can’t you just seize the opportunity?” Youxue looked at Xia Yu, frustrated that he couldn’t see the obvious.
She could tell that Feng Yujia already had feelings for her older brother. If he just agreed, the two could be together.
“Kids shouldn’t meddle in such matters,” Xia Yu replied, reaching out and tapping Youxue’s head.
“I’m already a middle school student,” Youxue muttered a couple of words, then went to her bedroom to fetch her notebook and leaned against Xia Yu’s side to watch cartoons.
Xia Yu kept doing exercises until five o’clock, and Youxue kept watching cartoons until five o’clock too.
At that time, Youxue went to prepare dinner, and Xia Yu also stretched and temporarily stopped doing exercises.
Looking at the tall stack of exercise books beside his desk, he frowned.
He had been doing exercises too quickly, and now he was running out of materials.
This meant all the high-quality exercise materials available on the market.
Should he just find some random questions to do?
While he was thinking, his phone rang.
The call was from Gui Zixiao.
