After getting off work this evening, Su Chen still went to buy groceries and then headed home as usual.
However, as soon as he reached the door, he heard some noise inside. Although it was subtle, it did not escape Su Chen's ears.
He frowned involuntarily, Lin Ruoxue hasn't come back yet. Who could be inside?
Without much thought, he opened the door and pushed it open.
At the same time, a figure quickly flashed out from a room.
Seeing the figure, Su Chen was slightly stunned, then smiled and said:
"Ms. Sun, you're back?"
According to Lin Ruoxue, Ms. Sun was supposed to return in the coming days.
"Yes, sir, you're off from work already!"
Ms. Sun smiled lightly.
Su Chen was momentarily taken aback by her words but quickly composed himself.
He looked at the "Ms. Sun" in front of him again, a sly smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Yes." Su Chen said casually. "Has dinner been made? I'm actually a bit hungry."
The "Ms. Sun" showed a flash of panic on her face, trying to remain calm:
"Sorry, sir, I just arrived a short while ago and tidied up a bit, but haven't had time to buy groceries yet."
"How about we just cook some noodles and eat something simple tonight?"
The "Ms. Sun" said as she looked nervously at Su Chen.
"No problem, I happen to have brought groceries."
Su Chen raised the plastic bag in his hand, his smile growing wider.
He glanced around the house, there wasn't the slightest sign of tidying up, in fact, some places were even messier.
The "Ms. Sun" took the bag with apprehension.
Su Chen looked at her hand, secretly thinking, you've done a good job acting.
"Then sir, I'll go cook now."
The "Ms. Sun" said, then walked toward the kitchen.
Su Chen sat on the sofa, casually flipping through Lin Ruoxue's fashion magazines. There was no visual barrier between the living room and the kitchen, so he could clearly see inside.
The "Ms. Sun" glanced back and saw Su Chen still sitting in the living room, which made her even more nervous, but she couldn't say anything.
"Ms. Sun, please cut me a plate of cantaloupe."
Su Chen's voice echoed from the living room.
The "Ms. Sun" hurriedly replied, then took a cantaloupe out of the refrigerator.
Since Lin Ruoxue liked eating cantaloupe, there was almost always some at home.
After a while, the "Ms. Sun" brought a plate of cantaloupe over and placed it on the coffee table.
"Ms. Sun, why did you cut the cantaloupe into such uneven sizes today?"
Su Chen glanced at it and said casually.
"Oh, sorry, sir, I'll pay attention next time."
The "Ms. Sun" hurriedly said, taking advantage of Su Chen's moment of distraction to glare at him fiercely, thinking to herself:
"How annoying, cutting it for you is good enough, and you're still being picky!"
However, when Su Chen looked up, she quickly resumed her smiling expression.
"Alright, go ahead and cook."
Su Chen waved his hand, then half-lay on the sofa, flipping through the magazine and eating cantaloupe, occasionally glancing toward the kitchen.
Suddenly, the sound of a bowl breaking came from the kitchen.
"Sorry, sir, I'm very sorry!"
Before Su Chen could speak, the voice of the "Ms. Sun" came from inside.
"It's okay, be careful, don't cut yourself."
Su Chen said playfully, glancing at the kitchen.
The "Ms. Sun" immediately picked up the broken pieces, swept up, and continued cooking.
For the next hour or so, Su Chen heard occasional clattering noises, fortunately, no more bowls were broken.
Around seven o'clock, the meal was finally prepared, and a little later, Lin Ruoxue returned home.
"Ms. Sun, you're finally back!"
Lin Ruoxue exclaimed with delight upon seeing the "Ms. Sun."
"Yes, I've been gone long enough, it was time to come back."
"Alright, Ms. Sun, let's eat."
Su Chen immediately said.
Soon, the "Ms. Sun" brought the dishes to the table, and Lin Ruoxue invited her to sit down and eat together.
When she first came to Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue's home, Ms. Sun firmly refused to eat at the table with them.
But as they grew more familiar, Lin Ruoxue and Su Chen invited her several times, eventually making her sit and eat with them.
This was the first time Ms. Sun, who had worked for many affluent families, could sit and eat with the owners.
"Ms. Sun, what happened to today's dishes...?"
Lin Ruoxue frowned after taking the first bite.
"Ruoxue, Ms. Sun just finished a long drive, it's natural to be tired, let's not worry about the taste."
Su Chen smiled gently at Lin Ruoxue.
"Sorry, Ms. Sun, it's actually fine."
Lin Ruoxue, being inherently kind, quickly said upon seeing the awkward expression on Ms. Sun's face.
"Honey, you know Ms. Sun is tired from traveling, why not cook yourself?"
Lin Ruoxue then turned to Su Chen with mild irritation.
Ms. Sun couldn't help feeling a surge of gratitude upon hearing Lin Ruoxue's words.
Su Chen quickly apologized, then looked at Ms. Sun with a faint smile.
Ms. Sun took a bite of the dish herself, it indeed was hardly edible.
But that seemed inevitable, what a surprise if it tasted good!
Around ten o'clock, everyone went to rest.
Ms. Sun entered her room but did not sleep immediately; she listened to the sounds from upstairs.
Soon, she heard intimate sounds, making her blush and feel hot all over!
Moreover, those sounds grew louder, making her increasingly agitated and filled with mixed emotions.
A normal person might not clearly hear those sounds, but she could hear them very distinctly, even the creaking of the bed upstairs reached her ears without missing a beat!
"Damn it! When will it end!"
Ms. Sun initially thought it would last twenty or thirty minutes, but now, over an hour had passed, and the noises still hadn't stopped.
Ms. Sun secretly adjusted her breathing, trying to calm her mind and ignore those embarrassing sounds. But she couldn't manage it!
The rhythmic sounds constantly stirred her emotions!
Finally, after over two hours, the noises gradually ceased.
Ms. Sun touched her face, finding it burning hot...
