Chapter 274 - What She Said Was True (1/2)
When Su Qingsang got up in the morning, Huo Jinyao was already out of bed. She knew that he did morning exercises every day.
After she washed up, she left the room to see whether Xiang Caiping was up or not. She found that she was not only up, but she had also made breakfast, which smelt good.
Looking at the busy figure in the kitchen, Su Qingsang really believed for a moment that Xiang Caiping was her mother.
Xiang Caiping had just put breakfast on the table when she saw that Su Qingsang had come out. She rubbed her hands uneasily.
“I didn’t mean to use your kitchen. I just wanted to make you a meal.”
Seeing Su Qingsang standing still, Xiang Caiping became more and more uneasy. “I don’t know what you like to eat, so I just made some porridge and dishes acceptable in Lin City. I don’t know if you will enjoy them or not.”
Su Qingsang could not put into words what she felt. She had imagined this scene many times before. Now that it had come true, she couldn’t believe it.
“Qingsang?” She said her name again, with a wary look on her face.
“It’s okay,” said Su Qingsang, shaking her head. “You didn’t have to do that. Huo Jinyao brings back breakfast when he gets back from his morning exercise.”
“I saw him.” Xiang Caiping was getting on in years and slept less. “When I got up in the morning, I saw that he was going out. I told him not to buy breakfast.”
Su Qingsang had no more to say and, soon, Huo Jinyao came back.
“Let’s have breakfast,” said Xiang Caiping, warily. Su Qingsang felt uncomfortable about her wary attitude. It was as if she was afraid of displeasing Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao.
“I don’t know if you’ll eat anything.” Xiang Caiping looked at Huo Jinyao, somewhat nervously.
She knew that Huo Jinyao had an unusual family background and was afraid that he would dislike the food she had prepared.
“It’s all right, Aunt. I’m not picky about what I eat.”
Xiang Caiping seemed to relax a little. Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao stared at each other, wondering what to do with her.
