Chapter 2163: Chapter 2165: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi
She was looking at Jiang Nuan, and Jiang Nuan was also looking at her. Her toes unconsciously curled up, and she intensified her tone, "Do you need something?"
"Oh, no, nothing." The Filipina maid observed her cold-reddened ankles, her dainty, fair feet cutely stepping on the floor, causing a pang of sympathy in anyone watching. "Miss Susan, the floor is very cold, being barefoot for too long can cause stomach ache."
Jiang Nuan sniffed; indeed, there was a chill seeping from the floor up into her soles, and the cold she thought had improved by noon seemed to be relapsing. She reluctantly pulled at her mouth and said, "Thank you."
The maid waved her hand hurriedly, "No thanks needed, youāre too polite. Seeing you reminds me of my daughter; she also loves playing around the house barefoot. Please donāt mind my chatter."
"I donāt."
After a moment of silence, the maid noticed her red eyes, as if she had just been crying. She wanted to ask but felt it was inappropriate, so she said, "Miss Susan, you havenāt had dinner yet, have you?"
Ever since Jiang Nuan finished the call with Lemon, she had been in a low mood and hadnāt felt hungry at all, so she nodded.
"Yeah."
The maid invited her, "Would you like to come over to our place to eat? Sir personally cooked a few Hua Country dishes and asked me to invite you over to join us. He wants to thank you for your help before."
The neighbor across the street can cook?
Jiang Nuan was a bit surprised, but it was merely surprise. She almost immediately refused, "I just got over a cold, so I want to eat something simple tonight. I wonāt go over."
"Uh, Miss Susan..." The maid still wanted to try one more time.
Jiang Nuan, not in high spirits, didnāt want to tangle with her. She thanked her straightforwardly, "Please thank the neighbor for me."
Since she put it that way, the maid couldnāt continue inviting her and nodded with a sense of loss, "Alright then, Miss Susan, rest early."
"Okay, you too, rest early." Jiang Nuanās face still looked a bit pale.
The more the maid looked at her, the more compassion she felt, and she gently said, "Iām almost off work, and once I go home, I can rest. But you just got over a fever, take care of your body."
She affectionately smiled, "Youāre a doctor, you should understand these things better than I do. Youāre still young. When I was younger, I did unhealthy things thinking my body could handle it, but as I grew older, I only knew regret."
Jiang Nuanās expression softened. Though she wasnāt in the mood to learn, she could distinguish between peopleās kindness and ill intent. She replied softly, "I understand."
"Thatās good then, Iām leaving. If you need anything, you can look for Sir. Heās a good person."
Uh.
Jiang Nuan knew that even if something came up, she wouldnāt possibly ask for help from a neighbor sheād never met, but she still slightly curled her lips, "Okay."
...
The lights were bright in the small villa across the street, the European-style crystal chandeliers illuminating every corner of the living room as bright as day.
The front door clicked open.
The Filipina maid was seen changing shoes as she came in.
Fu Yi, however, didnāt see the person he wished to see.
His eyes changed from disappointment to sharpness.
"Where is she?"
The pace of his speech was calm, deep like the strings of a piano.
The maid could clearly feel the low pressure around her. Deep inside, she silently sighed; Sir truly had an unspoken affection for Miss Susan. As she walked over, she answered quietly, "Miss Susan said she wanted to eat something simple tonight, so she didnāt come over."
"..."
The maid instinctively felt the low pressure above her head descend another inch. In a panic, she explained, "I tried my best to invite her. She really didnāt want to come. I couldnāt force her."
