Nangong Lin returned ho, feeling sowhat frustrated. The thing is, she originally ca back to avoid Alvin, but ended up being caught by him.
She didn’t really have anything to do at ho, and he’s still outside waiting for her. Emma, this is really such a pain!
At this early hour, probably even the family dog isn’t awake yet, let alone her parents.
Only the servants were busy in the house.
Seeing Nangong Lin return, they all respectfully stepped forward and greeted her, "Second Miss."
Nangong Lin nodded, "Is breakfast ready?"
"It’ll be ready soon," answered the servant.
"Then get a portion first, I’ll eat here." Nangong Lin thought, since she’s back, she might as well have so breakfast.
"Yes, Second Miss." The servant quickly went to the kitchen and brought Nangong Lin a steaming and exquisite breakfast.
Today’s breakfast was soy milk and fried dough sticks, which really hit the spot for Nangong Lin.
Unexpectedly, she ate a lot—a bowl of soy milk and two fried dough sticks—and then felt stuffed like a pig.
Wiping her mouth, Nangong Lin reckoned that since there’s nothing to do at ho, she’d leave right after breakfast to avoid her mom gossiping when she sees her.
If her mom knew Alvin was still waiting in the car, she would definitely gossip endlessly.
One misstep and her mom might eagerly try to push her towards him.
Thinking of this, Nangong Lin swiftly told the servant, "I’m leaving now. Don’t tell my parents I ca back, just pretend I never ca back. It’s better not to ntion it."
After speaking, she walked away grandly, leaving the servant blinking in confusion.
Second Miss, what have you gone through!!
Even returning to your own ho has to be this sneaky?
After walking a couple of steps, Nangong Lin suddenly rembered that Alvin probably hasn’t had breakfast yet, has he?
So should she bring so for him or not?
Nangong Lin hesitated, standing still, deeply conflicted.
The servant looked at her curiously, wanting to ask but not daring to.
Eventually, Nangong Lin called the servant, "Um, could you pack a portion of soy milk and three fried dough sticks for to take away?"
The Nangong family’s kitchen has a soy milk packing machine, designed for convenience. For instance, sotis Nangong Xiao doesn’t have ti before class, or her mom likes to sip soy milk while wandering in the garden.
"Oh, yes." The servant quickly nodded, "Second Miss, hold on a mont."
"Hurry up," Nangong Lin urged, "It wouldn’t be good if my mom cos down and sees."
"Oh, yes, sure." The servant quickened her pace, but couldn’t help but secretly feel all sorts of resentnt.
Damn, Second Miss, is it really this difficult for you to have breakfast in your own ho?
Looks like the Madam really despises the idea of you not getting married!
Though grumbling internally, the servant swiftly packed the breakfast.
Handing the packed breakfast to Nangong Lin, the servant specifically added, "Second Miss, I’ve packed you two cups of soy milk and five fried dough sticks. You can save so for tomorrow morning, so hurry up, the Madam will be up soon."
Nangong Lin: "..."
The servant’s mysterious deanor left Nangong Lin wide-eyed, thinking, geez, when did she beco a ’beggar’ in the eyes of the servants!
Nangong Lin was amused and helpless, but didn’t linger with the servant at all. She even nodded generously and gave the servant a kiss, "Thank you, Auntie Li, you’re really nice."
Auntie Li was touched to tears, actually, Second Miss is so wonderful, she shouldn’t be treated like this just because she hasn’t married!
