She is From The Countryside

The Rain Became Heavier

Shi Yan ate three pastries in a row. Every time she finished one, the smile on her face grew. It was only because Jiang Che had reminded her of dinner that she didn’t take the fourth pastry.

Jiang Che looked at her and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Miss Shi, it’s almost time for dinner. You shouldn’t eat too many pastries.”

Shi Yan retracted her hand and closed the pastry box with a faint smile. “The cakes were very delicious. I couldn’t help myself for a moment.”

She looked a little embarrassed.

Jiang Che didn’t say anything. He only glanced at her after hearing her words.

Then, a smile flashed across his eyes.

There was someone in the main building who was in charge of preparing Jiang Che’s meals and sending them to the bamboo garden every day. Today was no exception.

However, seeing that Shi Yan hadn’t left, Jiang Lin expected that his fifth master would change his ways and let her stay for dinner, so he ordered the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes.

There were few people who would disturb the bamboo garden. Even Old Madame Jiang would not come to the bamboo garden unless it was an extremely important matter. Therefore, the people who sent the dishes to the bamboo garden and the people who came to clean the bamboo garden were fixed.

They were people personally arranged by Old Madame Jiang.

Naturally, they were all old madam Jiang’s trusted aides.

The person who came to deliver the dishes was a maid in her thirties. Usually, she would personally deliver the dishes to the dining hall to set them up. However, she was unable to come in today.

Jiang Lin stopped her at the door.

“Give the food to me. Wait for my call to come over later to clean it up.”

He implied that without his call, she should not come to the bamboo garden.

He did this because he did not want the news of Miss Shi Yan’s incident in the bamboo garden to be spread. Fifth master’s identity was special. Once they learned that Miss Shi Yan and the fifth master had such an unusual relationship, it was likely that someone would ruin the matter.

No matter what, he had to wait for the relationship between the two to be confirmed first.

Although the maid was suspicious, she didn’t ask any more questions. He didn’t even glance at the maid. She answered very obediently and went back with an umbrella.

Jiang Lin took the food to the dining room and went to the living room after placing it.

“Fifth Master, Miss Shi Yan. The food is ready.”

After saying that, he disappeared automatically.

“Miss Shi, please move to the dining room.”

Shi Yan nodded with a smile and followed Jiang Che to the dining room.

She glanced at the dishes on the table, five dishes and one soup, all of which could be considered sumptuous. The dishes were also very good. It was obvious that they were cooked by a chef, but they were not common.

When such dishes were served on the table, there were all kinds of colors and smells, but they gave people a cold feeling as if they were in the dining room. There was no warmth at home at all. It was okay to go to a place like a restaurant occasionally, but if one went to a restaurant every time they ate, life would lose its flavor.

When Shi Yan saw that the dishes on the table were connected to so many things, she was stunned when she realized what was going on.

She had never cared about these things, and her life didn’t have much of a sense of ritual. She had always been living a life of peace and contentment. Why did she suddenly…
