“I’m asking about you. What’s wrong?” Since knowing her, he had rarely seen her look so tired. Even when deliberately asked to help him walk, she had never complained.
He had thought her energy was inexhaustible.
She looked at him, not understanding the meaning behind his words, and could only pretend not to have heard.
“The food is already on the table. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.” Since her current status was that of a maid, she should do her job properly. Once the three-month period was over, they would part ways and no longer owe each other anything.
Seeing she was unwilling to reveal her thoughts, he could only raise his eyebrows slightly and act as if he hadn’t asked. Taking his cane under his arm, he slowly prepared to walk downstairs.
Lin Wei Wan saw this and hurried over to support him, but this time he didn’t want to trouble her, as she looked utterly exhausted.
“The cast on my foot has been removed. The doctor advised more rehabilitation. I can walk by myself.”
“Then… I’ll support you from the side.” If he slipped while going downstairs, it would be terrible.
“Mm!” He didn’t refuse her suggestion. As she approached, he caught a whiff of a food aroma, the smell of oil and smoke clinging to her hair and clothes.
“Did you go to the kitchen today?” His nose unconsciously moved closer, discovering he quite liked her scent, a subtle fragrance that was uniquely hers.
“Sister-in-law Gui Zhi had something urgent and took leave, so Uncle Yan asked me to help in the kitchen.
Lin Weiwan saw that she couldn’t escape, so she put on a service-oriented smile, turned around, smiled, and then walked directly into the dining room to prepare for the meal.
“Lixie, who is she? Is she a maid you just hired recently?” Lili’s words were sharp, deliberately raising her tone to ensure Lin Weiwan could hear.
Indeed, Lin Weiwan’s body visibly tensed, and her movement of pulling out the chair was stiff.
“She is my employee,” Ye Lixie responded simply, but his gaze did not miss Lin Weiwan’s clumsy chair-pulling action, and the furrow between his brows deepened, an inexplicable displeasure rising in his heart.
In fact, he couldn’t even understand what he was upset about.
