The housekeeper’s body trembled, his eyes suddenly looking much older, and he responded hoarsely: “Yes, sir.”
After the housekeeper left, Yue Linze put down his pen, closed his eyes to rest for a moment, and a slight smile curved at the corner of his mouth. His little friend hated trouble, so he would pave all the roads in advance, letting her fall into the net faster, and even faster.
Tao Yu woke up feeling like the whole world had changed. Although the Yue family had always been respectful to her, now it was clearly different.
Had her lie been discovered?
She nervously went to find Yue Linze and voiced her concerns. Yue Linze gave her a sidelong glance: “How could that be? You’re overthinking.”
“But I’m not blind. Even the housekeeper is being nice to me now. He just asked if I wanted egg yolk pastry,” Tao Yu said seriously.
Yue Linze raised an eyebrow: “Do you want to eat some?”
“I want to, but he’s being too attentive. I’m a bit afraid to eat,” Tao Yu thought suspiciously, wondering if it might be poisoned.
Yue Linze laughed and led her to get egg yolk pastry. After eating, Tao Yu suddenly realized how intimate they were being, and worried about being discovered. Looking around at everyone’s calm expressions, she twitched her mouth, knowing they had probably already noticed.
“What’s wrong?” Yue Linze noticed her distraction and pinched her face.
Tao Yu quickly moved away, frowning: “We’ve only been dating for half a day, right?”
“What?” Yue Linze raised an eyebrow.
Tao Yu looked at him innocently: “I feel like our progress is a bit fast.” She had accidentally brought her relationship habits from the spiritual world, but he shouldn’t be like this – so smoothly intimate right after starting to date, seeming a bit… loose.
Her expression was too obvious, and Yue Linze was unusually speechless, finally saying slowly: “Actually… I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you.”
“Come on, you were in so much pain then, how could you have the mood for love at first sight?” Tao Yu scoffed at his explanation.
Yue Linze shrugged: “Let’s just say I’ve been single for nearly thirty years, so I’m a bit eager.”
