Evil Husband won’t Leave - Chapter 197
Xiao Linmu didn’t show anything on his face. He cut the Shoutao cake with a bamboo knife and cut it in half.
The whole movement is neat, the middle section is also very neat.
After a few cuts, the Shoutao cake is divided into very average parts, just like the one measured with a ruler.
Xia Yi thinks that she has no such ability.
After cutting the birthday peach cake, Xiao Linmu put the bamboo knife on the table, and the man sat back on the stool. He had no plan to help any more.
Xia Yi takes a cake out of a shallow plate and hands it to old lady Chu first.
The old lady of Chu took over with a smile, and then said to the others, “take it by yourself, and don’t trouble Xia Yi to share it with you.”
As soon as old lady Chu’s voice fell, Huo Jie stood up first.
“I’ll divide, I’ll divide.” Huo Jie volunteered and said, “sister Xia Yi, sit down.”
Xia Yi nodded, pulled the stool and sat down.
She watched Huo Jie divide the cake piece by piece. First she gave the four elders and Xia Yang, who was sitting beside her.
Then he handed another piece to Xia Yi.
“Sister Xia Yi, please help me to pick it up. This is brother Mu’s.” Huo Jie said.
Xia Yi is a Zheng and glances aside.
Xiao Linmu had long arms and legs. If he stood up at the moment, he would be able to reach them.
Then, as if he didn’t realize the problem, he didn’t plan to get up at all, even to reach out.
Seeing that Xia Yi didn’t move, huojie said again: “sister Xia Yi, please give this to brother mu for me.”
Xia Yi just reached out to take the cake and turned to put it on the next table.
Xiao Linmu reached out his hand at the right time and didn’t forget to say thanks.
“You’re welcome.”
All the actions between the two people seemed normal to outsiders.
But only the two of them knew what they were thinking.
Xia Yi tries her best to keep a distance from Xiao Linmu, even without a brief meeting in her eyes.
Xia Yi doesn’t even have time to guess Xiao Linmu’s inner thoughts, so she is interrupted by huojie’s voice.
“Sister Xia Yi, this is yours.”
“Good.”
After the soft cream into the mouth, a SIP will melt, soft and smooth taste, sweetness is just good control.
Xia Yi can’t help but raise the corner of her mouth.
It’s the first time to use this original method to make cake, and the taste is not inferior to that of oven.
The pain in the arm is worth it.
Xia Yi takes another sip, from the mouth to the heart, Xia Yi’s eyebrows and eyes are open.
What Xia Yi doesn’t know is that all these subtle changes of her expression fall into Xiao Linmu’s eyes.
Xiao Linmu’s eyebrows also spread.
From the beginning, although Xiao Linmu didn’t see Xia Yi aboveboard, she was in his remaining light.
Xia Yi’s every small action, every small expression, Xiao Linmu are clear in the heart.
Xiao Linmu lips slightly hook, also follow the action of Xia Yi scooped a mouthful of cake into the entrance.
Well, how sweet the cake is!
Throughout the birthday party, this peach cake became the favorite of old lady Chu.
Not only unexpected, but also reasonable.
After the birthday party, the old lady of Chu took Xia Yi into her room.
No one was allowed to follow. Even Qingdai, old lady Chu’s maid, was outside.
Chusike followed behind, watching old lady Chu holding Xia Yi’s hand, talking and laughing into her room.
Her angry eyes were red, but there was nothing she could do.
She pretended to be indifferent and wandered to the door of old lady Chu, trying to see what old lady Chu wanted to do.
But I didn’t want to. Before I came near, I was stopped by Qingdai.
“The old lady said no one should go in and disturb.” Qingdai said in a business like tone.
“Who said I was going in?” Chusike said hard.
She wandered outside the room for a while, but she couldn’t find a way to get close to her, let alone hear any sound. Finally, she had to leave.
Inside, as soon as the old lady Chu came in, she said to Xia Yi, “sit here and wait for a while. I’ll go to that thing.”
Xia Yi responds and sits on the stool waiting for old lady Chu.
After old lady Chu entered behind the screen, she came out after a long time.
In his hand was a delicate wooden box.
She sits down and opens the box. Xia Yi sees a jade bracelet in it.
The color of the jade bracelet is bright red, but it is not a solid color, with a few pieces of white in the middle.
“Give me your hand.” Old lady Chu said to Xia Yi.
Xia Yi’s hand on the wrist, and did not hand out.
She said to old lady Chu, “old lady Chu, the salary for the banquet has been paid. You don’t have to give me any more. This gift is too expensive for me to accept.”
Old lady Chu said, “it’s not a valuable gift. It’s just an ordinary jade bracelet.”
“I can’t take it either.” Xia Yi shakes her head firmly.
Even if old lady Chu said that it was not a valuable gift, Xia Yi knew very well that this jade bracelet was enough to pay for her cooking many times.
Old lady Chu sighed and said, “Why are you so stubborn? You make me a delicious cake and I give you a bracelet. It’s a fair thing to reciprocate. ”
“How can it be the same…”
Old lady Chu looked down at the bracelet and touched it gently with her fingers. She was very tender and compassionate.
“This bracelet is left by my eldest daughter-in-law. Every time I look at it, I can think of her…”
Xia Yi didn’t speak, just reached out to shake old lady Chu’s hand.
Old lady Chu raises her head and looks at Xia Yi. Xia Yi sees that old lady Chu’s eyes are moist.
She continued: “the first time I saw you, I felt like you were very close. It was like seeing her again. She said the bracelet had been with her for many years and kept her safe. Now that she’s gone, I hope this bracelet can be of some use to you, instead of lying in the cold jewelry box all the time… ”
“What do you say?” Old lady Chu drew out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. Looking at Xia Yi, she asked.
Looking at old lady Chu’s expectant eyes, Xia Yi said, “I’m not related to her, so it’s not good to accept the bracelet.”
“Some things are about fate. I’m predestined with you, and you’re predestined with my daughter-in-law.” Old lady Chu said, “if you don’t take it, I’ve been thinking about this bracelet in my heart. I can’t sleep well at night.”
Xia Yi said, “Granny Chu, don’t say that. I’ll keep the bracelet for you first.”
“That’s about the same.” The old lady of Chu changed into a smiling face and said to Xia Yi, “stretch out your hand.”
Xia Yi extends her hand, and the bracelet rubs against the back of Xia Yi’s hand and slides to her wrist. The red jade is especially suitable for Xia Yi’s white wrist.
Mr. Chu said: “you see, it’s just right. This bracelet seems to be specially prepared for you.”
Xia Yi looks down at the bracelet on her wrist and feels warm. At the moment when the bracelet is on hand, Xia Yi feels very kind.
Old lady Chu took Xia Yi’s hand and said, “since you call me grandma, I don’t know whether to ask or not.”
“You asked Xia Yidao.
Old lady Chu pondered for a moment and then asked, “did you quarrel with mu’er? I see you at the dinner table today, but it’s very tight. “
