Chapter 203 - Will You Come Here Again? (1/2)

Ye Xiaoxian smiled and asked, “You were so busy last night. How did you divert your attention to me?”

“You stand out so much from the crowd. I saw you chatting and laughing with that handsome man and you looked quite happy,” Jin Xiaoyu said as she approached Ye Xiaoxian. Then, she blew a breath at Ye’s face.

Ye Xiaoxian backed away to avoid it and said, “Perhaps he and I were not chatting but ridiculing each other, just like we’re doing now.”

“But why do I feel he likes you?”

“Please don’t make irresponsible remarks. How could he like a village woman like me?” Ye Xiaoxian didn’t want anyone to gossip about her.

“Village woman? You?” Jin Xiaoyu looked Ye Xiaoxian up and down before she burst out laughing.

Then, she put a hand on Ye Xiaoxian’s waist and said, “You just don’t let yourself s.h.i.+ne. There’s a wild cat inside you. If you release it, you may become more adorable than me.”

Ye Xiaoxian didn’t like Jin Xiaoyu’s way of talking, even though she was not a man.

She pushed away her hand and said, “Please watch how you conduct yourself.”

Instead of getting angry, Jin Xiaoyu went on with her teasing. “You’re good at cooking. Were you a cook before? Did you learn by yourself?”

“I used to run a restaurant and can make some dishes. That’s it.” Ye Xiaoxian said.

“Oh, what happened then? You closed the restaurant because of the war?” Jin Xiaoyu asked with interest.

“The restaurant was closed before the war broke out. Perhaps my dishes were not delicious enough.” Ye Xiaoxian replied.

Hearing that, Jin Xiaoyu laughed and swayed like a wildly, though Ye Xiaoxian didn’t know what was funny in her words. After laughing for a long while, Jin Xiaoyu asked, “What about staying here to be my cook? I can pay you a decent salary.”

Ye Xiaoxian declined politely, “I have a big family to look after, so I’m sorry I can’t stay.”

“You mean those b.u.mpkins who came with you?” Jin Xiaoyu raised her brows and said, “I know how to judge a person, so I can see you are different from them. Although they are your relatives, they don’t have your disposition or knowledge. Of course, Mr. Li and a little boy are exceptions.”

Ye Xiaoxian said seriously, “However different we are, we are a family. No one can change this fact.”

Jin Xiaoyu laughed again.

Then, she landed her fingers on Ye Xiaoxian’s chin. “Well, I won’t force you to stay here. I just want to make friends with people who are as intelligent, brave and principled as you are. Will you come here again?”

Ye Xiaoxian replied, “I don’t know. Perhaps.”

Jin Xiaoyu crossed her arms and said, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
