Chapter 385
Su Ziyue really didn't want to pay attention to Su Yige.
But she still said, "Come in."
Not long after both of them went in, Lin Enxue came along with Lin Zixi.
The bodyguard brought one big and one small figure in. "Mrs. Qin."
"Miss Lin?"
Su Ziyue was slightly startled. She then turned her gaze onto Lin Zixi at once. She tried to call him. "Zixi?"
Facing a small person like that, she couldn't help but soften her tone.
But what was different from yesterday was that Lin Zixi actually called her, "Aunt Su."
His enunciation wasn't very clear as a child of over a year old, but Su Ziyue understood it.
"Are you calling me?" Su Ziyue walked over and knelt down in front of Lin Zixi. She reached out her hands to gently
press Lin Zixi's small shoulders.
What made Su Ziyue happy was that Lin Zixi didn't avoid it nor reject it.
Even Lin Enxue who was beside them cried out in surprise. "Zixi, you like Aunt Su?"
Lin Zixi glanced at Lin Enxue but didn't say a word.
"Sometimes when I touch him, he gets unhappy. He has a very stubborn personality. It looks like he really likes you."
Lin Enxue said beamingly, looking very bright. Her originally delicate features became livelier.
This was a pleasant girl who had a very sweet smile.
Su Ziyue replied with a smile, and continued to talk to Lin Zixi.
But Lin Zixi wasn't paying attention to her anymore. He was still standing obediently and hadn't run away.
Upon seeing this, Lin Enxue lifted the basket in her hands. "Zixi and I went to pick strawberries today. They're very
fresh. We picked too many and we can't finish it, so we brought some for you."
Seeing the basket full of bright red strawberries, Su Ziyue wasn't modest about it and reached out to take it. "Then I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwon't bother with the formalities. You and Zixi should stay for dinner."
Hearing that, Lin Enxue's eyes lit up. Her tone was lighthearted like a little girl. "Could we really?"
"Of course." Su Ziyue put the basket aside with a smile. She then turned her head to look at Su Yige who had been
standing behind silently. "My cousin's cooking is delicious."
When Su Yige heard that, she was startled but didn't say anything.
"Oh, we couldn't." Lin Enxue pulled Lin Zixi and said while blinking, "Zixi, let's eat dinner at Aunt Su's house, alright?
Since there's only the two of us when we go home..."
Su Ziyue couldn't help but smile seeing her like this.
At the same time, she looked at Lin Zixi with anticipation.
Lin Zixi glanced at Su Ziyue without any expression and said only one word softly after a moment. "Okay."
Hearing Lin Zixi's answer, Su Ziyue smiled happily. "You can play here. My cousin and I will prepare dinner in the
kitchen."
She immediately pulled Su Yige into the kitchen.
Once they were in the kitchen, Su Yige asked, "Who is that, and why did you invite them to eat dinner at home?"
"Neighbors that just moved in." Su Ziyue was in a good mood, because she really liked Lin Zixi, who was like a
glutinous rice dumpling.
But the child was really very thin. His personality wasn't as lovable as the usual child, but for some reason, she
really liked him.
Perhaps it was because she had lost a child, so she couldn't help but like other children that she saw.
Hearing that, Su Yige glanced toward the lounge, then pulled Su Ziyue out.
Su Ziyue asked her, "What are you doing?"
Su Yige pressed Su Ziyue down on the couch, saying, "The injury on your arm isn't healed. You can't be of much
help."
Beside them, Lin Enxue's eyes widened when she heard that. "Let me help!"
"Sure, I'll trouble you then." Su Yige smiled at Lin Enxue, but the smile wasn't very sincere.
Seeing Lin Enxue and Su Yige go into the kitchen, Su Ziyue was baffled.
One was Su Yige who hated her to death, the other was a neighbor she only knew for a day. They were cooking in
her kitchen...
In the kitchen, Su Yige was chatting with Lin Enxue while cutting up vegetables.
"You're not a Yunzhou City local, are you, Miss Lin?"
Lin Enxue opened her mouth in surprise. "How could you guess? Was there an accent when I spoke?"
Su Yige raised her eyes slightly. "No, I just guessed. I just felt that you don't look like you're from Yunzhou City."
"I've been living overseas since young because my body isn't quite well and I needed to go to the doctor's. After
some difficulty, my body has recovered and I just returned..."
"I see."
"Is your family worried with you bringing up the child on your own?"
A trace of disappointment was seen on Lin Enxue's face. "My elder brother is too busy. I only see him a few times a
year. He doesn't have the time for me and I'm used to being alone. I have servants and bodyguards at home...
…
After looking for some time, Su Ziyue only found a Rubik's cube.
After she gave the Rubik's cube to Lin Zixi, he sat there upright and kept playing with it...
This child did things with such focus, didn't he?
Su Ziyue called him. "Zixi?"
Lin Zixi ignored her.
Su Ziyue asked again, "What's your dad's name?"
"Lin En..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe said the last word too quickly that Su Ziyue couldn't catch it in time.
She asked again but Lin Zixi wasn't paying attention to her.
She could only watch Lin Zixi play with the Rubik's cube nonstop.
Su Ziyue didn't feel bored just by watching him.
She felt that Lin Zixi was such a clever child.
…
When they were eating, Lin Zixi was especially obedient.
She had no children's seat at home, so Su Ziyue had gotten a stool for him.
Lin Zixi sat upright when he was eating just like when he was playing with the Rubik's cube. He held the spoon and
stuffed food into his mouth one small scoop at a time.
Su Ziyue felt that she could get full just by watching Lin Zixi eat.
After eating a small bowl of food, Lin Zixi jumped off the stool.
Su Ziyue had a fright from this action of his,
Lin Enxue saw Su Ziyue's expression and couldn't help but laugh. "You don't have to worry. Zixi knows his limits."
After eating, Lin Enxue didn't stay long and left with Lin Zixi.
Once Lin Enxue left, Su Yige asked Su Ziyue, "Where did your neighbor come from?"
Hearing that, Su Ziyue asked her in an annoyed manner, "What do you mean?"
She didn't trust Su Yige at all, especially when she heard this suspicious tone of Su Yige.
Su Yige's expression changed but she still said what she'd wanted to say. "Don't you think it's strange? A young girl
bringing up a child with no other family at home and only one elder brother, staying at a place like Cloud Bay,
treating you with such enthusiasm..."
Su Ziyue retorted, "What's so strange about that? Miss Lin is a newcomer and is unfamiliar with everything here.
We're of similar age so her enthusiasm is understandable since she has such a lively personality."
Actually, she'd already felt that it was strange yesterday. She contacted Nan Chuan, asking him to check where Lin
Enxue and Lin Zixi came from.
But she just didn't feel the need to tell Su Yige about this.
