”Alright.” Xu Chencan nodded, steadied himself, and walked over to the table to eat.

What made her feel strange was that Chu Lingyu's career was so successful and her house was so big, but she didn't see any servants. When she entered, she saw only Aunt Ling and a nanny who was responsible for cooking.

However, the house was spotlessly clean, as if it was being cleaned every day.

This home was truly peaceful.

Chu Lingyu's movements were graceful. She was serious and quiet when she ate, so Aunt Ling did not say a word.

Xu Chencan didn't say anything else, but continued to eat his meal quietly.

After dinner, the nanny came over and cleaned up the dishes.

Chu Lingyu asked her, ”Do you want to take a walk?”

Xu Chencan did indeed have the habit of taking a walk after dinner, but … She was still unfamiliar with Chu Lingyu, even if they walked together, there was nothing to talk about, it would definitely be very awkward. Furthermore … How was she going to get out of here with all these clothes on?

Thinking of this, she shook her head. ”I'll talk to Aunt Ling for a while.”

”Yes.” Chu Lingyu nodded indifferently, and without further ado, she changed into a pair of shoes and went out.

”ChenCan, do you want some fruits?” Aunt Ling took a plate of fresh fruits and set it on the table, waving at Xu Chencan.

Xu ChenCan smiled and sat down across from her. She picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. The sweet juice made her eyes curved into a smile. ”It's delicious.”

Aunt Ling smiled. ”These fruits were personally picked by mister, so they're naturally delicious.”

”Chu Lingyu personally picked it?” Xu Chencan was somewhat surprised.

In the Xu Family, picking out fruits was the job of a servant. Not to mention Xu Qiming, even Xu Yaoxi was extremely dismissive of such matters. She was afraid that the juices of the fruits would stain her beautiful dress.

Chu Lingyu actually did such a thing, it was really related to his identity … No.

”Yeah.” Aunt Ling smiled and said, ”Mister is used to getting up early and getting out of bed early every morning to run. He also goes to the nearby market to bring back some fresh vegetables and fruits. After a while, they all knew him and would leave the best to him. ”Therefore, our family's fruit is the best.”

Xu Chencan listened in a daze.

She really did not expect that such a cold person like Chu Lingyu would actually do such a warm thing.

It seems that the saying 'one cannot judge by appearance' was indeed true.

”Then who cleaned this house?” Xu Chencan asked the question that lingered in his mind.

With such a large and clean house, only Aunt Ling and the nanny would be busy.

Moreover, Aunt Ling and the nanny had very well-preserved hands, so it was obvious that they weren't people who did dirty work.

”Teacher will ask the people from the home management company to come over and help with the cleaning up. They will come over every morning, eat a meal here at noon, and then leave in the afternoon.”

A member of a home company?

Xu Qiming had never invited anyone from his home company over.

He had once said that those people were short of money and wanted to steal his things.

But the servants were different. They gave him a feeling of superiority.

Therefore, the Xu Family had raised many servants.

Xu Chencan smiled at Aunt Ling. ”Thank you for telling me so much, Aunt Ling.”

Now that she had some understanding of Chu Lingyu, her heart was much more at ease.

”Of course I'll tell you everything, since you are the wife that the gentleman has chosen. ”Why are you being so courteous?” Aunt Ling patted the back of her hand. ”You're my wife. I'm just a housekeeper.”

Xu Chencan smiled, but said nothing.

She was still unable to accept the word 'Madam'.

Once, Xu Chencan had believed that he would never get married again.

Because her parents' marriage had cast so much shadow over her.

Her mother's departure, her father's hatred, and her stepmother's desire for her father's money made her doubt that there really was any such thing as pure love in the world.
