Upon hearing her words, Zuo Weiyi could not help but frown and stared at her face. “Scared?”
“Yes, it’s Xiao Song. He was accused for stealing something from a customer in the hotel, but the misunderstanding has been resolved,”Xiao Cui said. Afraid that Weiyi would continue to pursue the matter, she bypassed Zuo Weiyi. “I’ll go cook first!”
Zuo Weiyi furrowed her brows slightly as she watched Xiao Cui walk into the room. Although she was still a little worried, since Xiao Song’s matter had been resolved, then things should be fine now, right?
…
For the rest of the afternoon, Zuo Weiyi felt that Xiao Cui seemed a little abnormal.
She spoke to her several times, but she acted as if she didn’t hear anything.
“Xiao Cui?”
In the evening, Zuo Weiyi couldn’t help but call out to Xiao Cui, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen. She wanted Xiao Cui to cook some fish for dinner since her appetite had gradually recovered after the morning sickness.
Moreover, Yuting wanted to come back for dinner. Shi Yuting had suffered a lot these days.
However, Xiao Cui didn’t seem to hear her even though she had called out several times.
She couldn’t help but call out again. This time, she walked over to Xiao Cui. “Xiao Cui?!”
What was wrong with her today? She had been absent-minded the entire afternoon.
It was only at this moment that Xiao Cui snapped back to her senses. When she noticed Zuo Weiyi standing right next to her, she suddenly looked frightened.
“Ma—ma—ma—”
Zuo Weiyi noticed her abnormal reaction and the tap that was continuously running the water.
Xiao Cui looked over as well. Only then did she realize that she had been in a daze for a long time.
She quickly turned off the tap and lowered her head.
Zuo Weiyi stared at her and frowned. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing, nothing. I’m just… thinking about something.” Xiao Cui looked up at Zuo Weiyi. “I’m sorry, Madam. I’ll make dinner right away.”
Xiao Cui started to prepare the dinner wholeheartedly, completely ignoring Zuo Weiyi who was still standing beside her.
Zuo Weiyi could not help but wonder if Xiao Song’s matter had not been resolved yet. Did she not dare to ask for her help because of her status?
But Xiao Cui refused to tell her, so she did not ask further.
At six o’clock, Shi Yuting returned to the seaside villa.
Xiao Cui stood quietly by the side during dinner. However, when she saw Shi Yuting’s cold and emotionless face, she chose to return to the kitchen and act busy with other things.
Zuo Weiyi was a little confused by her reaction.
In the past, she would always stay during dinner, just in case she was needed. But today, she chose to hide in the kitchen. What was going on?
After dinner, Xiao Cui cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. After tidying up the entire kitchen, she walked to the living room and said to Zuo Weiyi, who was watching TV on the sofa. “Madam, I’m getting off work now.”
Zuo Weiyi turned around and looked at her. Then, she suddenly stood up and walked to her side. She held her hand and said, “Come, sit.”
Zuo Weiyi sat Xiao Cui down. Zuo Weiyi stared at her and said, “Tell me, is Xiao Song’s problem not solved?”
Xiao Cui suddenly looked up and met Zuo Weiyi’s concerned gaze.
Her concern made Xiao Cui feel ashamed.
“No, Xiao Song’s problem has really been solved. Thank you for your concern, Madam.”
