Chapter 1292 - Finding Her (1/2)
It was a call from Auntie Li, the servant of Qiao Yanze’s villa.
Although Auntie Li was an old servant of the Qiao family, she had never put on airs in front of Cen Xi. She had taken good care of Cen Xi in those few short days.
Was there something important for her to call in the middle of the night? Cen Xi hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
As soon as the call got through, Cen Xi heard Auntie Li coughing.
“Auntie Li, are you feeling unwell?”
“Miss Cen, I’m really sorry to bother you so late at night. I’m having a fever and Young Master has not been back for several days. I don’t feel so good, can you come to the villa?”
Cen Xi did not think too much. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”
She was a kind and grateful girl. If people were good to her, she would definitely repay them as much as she could.
No matter what Qiao Yanze was like, Auntie Li was very good to her. She could not sit back and ignore when Auntie Li was having a fever and cough.
So Cen Xi got out of bed, changed, bought medicine and went to the villa. On the way there, she was a little uneasy, but Auntie Li said that Qiao Yanze had not returned to the villa for several days. He probably would not go back now since it was so late, right?
…
What Cen Xi did not know was that after Auntie Li called Cen Xi, she called Qiao Yanze after a while.
It was not that Qiao Yanze did not return to the villa. On the contrary, no matter how late it was, he would still go back.
When Auntie Li called Qiao Yanze, he was still working overtime.
Auntie Li was an old servant of the Qiao family who used to work for Madam Qiao and had seen Qiao Yanze growing up. She could see that Qiao Yanze liked Cen Xi, but he was too proud.
“Young Master, I have a cold and fever and there isn’t any medicine at home. Can you bring me some when you come back?”
When Qiao Yanze heard Auntie Li’s cough, he stood up immediately. “Okay, I’ll come back right away.”
…
Cen Xi rushed to the villa and gave Auntie Li the medicine.
“Auntie Li, did you eat anything for dinner?”
Auntie Li shook her head. “I don’t have much appet.i.te.”
“You have to eat something. I’ll go cook some porridge for you.”
“Miss Cen, it’s too much trouble.”
“It’s no trouble. Go take a rest first. I’ll bring the porridge to you.”
Cen Xi went to the kitchen from Auntie Li’s room and when she walked past the living room, she glanced at the sofa. She could not help thinking about that night when she fell asleep while waiting for Qiao Yanze to come back and was awakened by his kiss.
If she had not tried to stop him, she might have been pinned down by him on the sofa that night to do intimate things.
Ah, stop thinking about it! Cen Xi shook her head, shaking that ambiguous image out of her head. Going into the kitchen, she washed the rice and cooked it with a bigger fire.
She had both hands on the kitchen counter, her legs that were clad in black pencil pants were crossed over.
