Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Nuan pushed the door open and entered. She looked at the bright light filling the entire living room.
Feng Ling hesitated outside the door. If Mr. Mo was here, was there no need for her to accompany Ji Nuan tonight? She paused for a moment by the door before finally deciding not to enter.
The condo was large; the bedroom was not far away from the entrance, but the bedroom door was firmly closed. The lights in the bedroom were turned off as well. Aside from the living room, only the kitchen was lit.
Why was it the kitchen?
Did Mo Jingshen really come?
Ji Nuan strangely felt her emotions being stirred up; as though she was finally returning home after a long time.
She had already prepared a belly full of words; she wanted to explain that she had always believed in him. When she spoke those words, she was not expressing her doubts about their feelings and marriage. She had simply expressed what was on her mind without considering how it would affect the trust built between the two of them.
These days, she was always watching her phone in a daze. Her hand would always pause by the ‘dial’ button, unable to press it.
Did he finally cool down from his anger? Was he finally here?
Ji Nuan stood outside the kitchen for a moment. She wanted to enter but feared that it would be too abrupt to do so. She made a mental plan before finally striding in. However, the moment she entered, she found an auntie around fifty years old standing by the fridge. She held a grocery bag with one hand while her other hand was on the fridge door.
Ji Nuan’s footsteps immediately faltered. The hope in her eyes dissipated. She curled her hands into fists for a moment, before releasing her grip, as though there was something she wanted to hold onto but was unable to do so.
The auntie by the fridge heard her footsteps and turned back to see Ji Nuan. She was first astonished, before she asked eagerly and kindly, “Hello, you must be Miss Ji, right?”
Ji Nuan restrained her emotions, speaking, “Yes. You are?”
The auntie immediately smiled. “Nice to meet you, Miss Ji. I’m a private housekeeper hired by Mr. Mo a month ago. I’ve been tasked with cleaning this place and to change all of the ingredients in the fridge to fresh ones every two days. I saw that the food in the fridge was always untouched, and the ingredients I’ve been buying have never been used, but because Mr. Mo has already paid me to do this, I’ve been coming by as instructed.”
Feng Ling stood outside to listen; she could not hear Mr. Mo’s voice and found it strange. Could it be that the person inside was not Mr. Mo?
She took quick steps into the condo and saw Ji Nuan standing by the kitchen entrance. Although she appeared fine, her stiff back was clearly filled with tension.
Feng Ling approached in hesitation. When she raised her head to see the auntie and took into account the words she had heard, she immediately understood.
“No wonder this place is always so clean. Someone has actually been coming by to do the housework,” Feng Ling softly and calmly said, turning to see that Ji Nuan had a similarly mild and polite smile. However, her smile did not reach her eyes.
Clearly, she was disappointed.
“By the way, Miss Ji, is the food I’ve been buying not to your tastes, or have you not been coming by recently? Your bathroom appears to have been untouched for quite some time.” The auntie closed the fridge door and turned back to add, “If you’re not used to the food, you can give me a list. I’ll only buy the food you like from now…”
