Chapter 69 GOING TO B CITY PART 4
Xue Lin tried to figure out what she meant but she couldn’t. So, she said, "I didn’t understand what you meant."
Gu Xiali answered, "Your choice of choosing this dress. The color su-"
Xue Lin interrupted, "Oh, I didn’t choose it. Chen did." Though she was being rude to stop Gu Xiali as she (GX) was only answering her (XL) question, Xue Lin didn’t want to take the praise for something she didn’t do. It would also be a waste of Gu Xiali’s energy. Overall, she stopped Gu Xiali for her (GX) sake.
Gu Xiali was stunned before looking at her grandson. She couldn’t understand what made her more surprised. Was it Ge Chen choosing a dress for his wife or choosing the perfect dress for his wife? Whatever it was, she was pleased with the sudden change of Ge Chen’s behavior.
Louis boosted Xue Lin’s beauty, "It suits you very well. Your beauty is unparalleled. Sister-in-law, I was thinking-"
"Whatever you are thinking, I know it’s weird and so, keep it to yourself. I’m not interested." Xue Lin didn’t like his friendly approach. She also didn’t like his praising her weirdly when she clearly knew that she wasn’t a beauty. Beauty or not, every woman has a charm on their own. However, Xue Lin never showed it to anyone. She didn’t because she found no man to move her heart up until now. And now, she already has a man and she isn’t sure whether she will be able to show that side to him or not.
"..." Louis paused. ’Was I too rushed?’ He scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn’t know why winning over her took so much effort. He said, "I arranged the feast to welcome you in our small group. I hope you like the meal."
"I know you did. Thank you very much." Xue Lin was very formal with him.
Ge Chen came forward to save his friend. "Alright, enough chit chat. Let me introduce the butlers and maids of the house." He took Xue Lin to show all the servants who were standing behind the bonfire. He introduced them, "This is the Head Butler, Ru Shan. You can call him Uncle Ru."
The Head Butler Ru Shan bowed respectfully. "Young Mistress, it’s an honor to finally meet you. Welcome to this humble house."
Xue Lin expressionlessly said, "The honor is mine and Head Butler uncle, there is nothing humble of this house. Only crazy rich people can buy a house like this along with the whole forest."
"..." The Head Butler choked. He didn’t know what to say.
Ge Chen chuckled and moved on to the person beside the Head Butler. "He is the Head Bodyguard. His name is Yan Rong."
"Young Mistress, it’s nice to meet you." This guy is six and a half feet tall. In front of him, Xue Lin looked like an ant.
Xue Lin thought that her neck was going to snap after looking at that guy for a few seconds. "Nice to meet you too, Mr. Huge Guy."
"..." Yan Rong’s huge body stiffened. It was the first time someone as puny as her called him by that name. No one ever dared to call him that. He didn’t hate it. He found this name was very unusual. He couldn’t say anything to his Young Mistress.
Ge Chen was also surprised by the names his wife was producing. He remembered the time he called Su Fengfei ’fishing grandpa’ because she forgot his name. ’Why is she not trying to memorize the names when I’m saying?’ He wondered. He moved on to the next person. "He is our chef but he will be transferred to the Su Mansion tomorrow. His name is Chef Hui."
Chef Hui said, "It’s an honor to meet you, Young Mistress. I’m glad to see you, however, I want to know why you transferred me to A City." He was working here for ten years and he was a little upset about the transfer. He wanted this Young Mistress to taste his cook and then decide whether he should leave or not.
Xue Lin was surprised. She indeed asked for Su Fengfei’s chef and promised to give him this chef. She felt guilty thinking that she played this guy like a toy. She immediately apologized, "Oh, I’m so sorry. I should have asked your permission."
Chef Hui was startled. "Ah, that’s not I meant-" If the employer’s wife apologized to the employee, would he have the job anymore?
"Do you have a family..." Her eyes landed on his left hand’s ring finger. It had a gold ring. "Oh, you do. I didn’t think it through. Have you married recently?"
Chef Hui nodded in confusion. "...Yes, I did."
Xue Lin asked further, "Do you have a house here?"
"We are living here, so no." There was no house around five miles. Where he could stay other than here?
Xue Lin was relieved. She suggested, "Excellent, you two can go to A City and live there." Since they didn’t have their own house, they could live in A City. The Su Family is rich. They can provide a house for them.
"Ah..." Chef Hui wanted to say something but he was interrupted by someone else.
Ge Chen grabbed onto Xue Lin’s shoulder and coolly said, "It’s okay, I’ll handle the rest. We are all tired. Let’s grab our dinner." His grey eyes gazed at Chef Hui. Fire reflected on his pair of grey eyes. Chef Hui flinched. He didn’t make another sound.
