Chapter 2141: Chapter 2143: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi
Jiang Nuan was a bit unhappy. Did she look like someone who was short on money? Or did the other party think she was refusing just because she was afraid of being taken advantage of?
She maintained a steely expression and said casually, "I only cook occasionally, not often, and Iām not a professional chef. I can cook for myself, but cooking for others would put me under psychological pressure. Cooking is just a personal hobby of mine, meant to relieve work stress and serve as a pastime. I donāt want to turn my pastime into a job. If your employer likes Chinese food, you can post a job ad online. There arenāt many people from Hua Country in Mahali, but itās not like there arenāt any, surely someone would be willing to take the job. But unfortunately, that person isnāt me."
If itās not you, then itās pointless! The maid screamed internally. She saw that Jiang Nuan was getting angry and dared not continue to pester her, so she changed the subject.
"Iām sorry, Miss Susan, please donāt be upset. That wasnāt my intention. By the way, this dog food was sent by Mr. Smith for you, saying you asked him yesterday about Little Potatoās dog food brand."
Hearing her call Little Potato āNuannuanā, Jiang Nuan couldnāt help but twitch at the corners of her mouth and gestured to decline, "I was just asking, I thought he didnāt hear me. I donāt need this dog food, I also like Little Potato, and I know the brand, so I can buy it myself."
"Little Potato?" The maid was momentarily stunned.
Only then did Jiang Nuan realize she had let slip the private name for Nuan Tuan. Embarrassed, she corrected herself, "No, I meant Tuan."
"Oh, oh, oh." The maidās face lit up with realization, and she handed the dog food to Jiang Nuan, "Susan helped walk the dog, and Mr. Smith is already very grateful. It wouldnāt be right for you to pay for it. Just accept it, since the dog needs to eat anyway."
Jiang Nuan got a handful of dog food thrust upon her, saying no was pointless.
"Well..."
Sometimes Jiang Nuan couldnāt stand the fact that she feels indebted when taking someone elseās gift and feels guilty about it. Initially, she had refused, but having received a bag of dog food she didnāt ask for, she felt uncomfortable.
"Hmm? Whatās wrong, Miss Susan?"
Jiang Nuan looked up with her almond eyes, "I donāt cook much, but if heās ever interested in eating, he can let me know, and Iāll cook if I have time."
The maid didnāt expect Jiang Nuan to change her mind and was overjoyed, "Mr. Smith will surely be very happy to hear that, thank you."
Jiang Nuan regretted her impulsive comment, "I mean, occasionally, as in... not the hired kind of occasionally."
What I mean is, since weāre all neighbors and youāre not paying me, nor do I want your money, you canāt just expect me to cook for you all the time.
As it turns out, she was overthinking things.
The next day, she returned from the research institute and found the maid from across the street waiting at her door with groceries.
Seeing her return, the maid happily ran over and greeted her, "Miss Susan, youāre back."
"Is something up?"
Jiang Nuanās temples suddenly started throbbing, and her smile appeared a bit forced.
Could it be that she had said sheād help with occasional cooking yesterday, and now they had come knocking?
The maid asked, "Miss Susan, can I ask a favor?"
Jiang Nuan wrinkled her nose, "Donāt tell me you want me to cook."
The maidās face showed a slight embarrassment, "You guessed correctly. Iām really sorry, but my childās teacher suddenly came to visit at home, and I have to rush back immediately. I didnāt know in advance, so I havenāt had time to make dinner for Mr. Smith. He just moved here and doesnāt know anyone else, only you as a friend, so I could only think of you..."
