Liang Qian knew they weren’t used to it, so she held Little Star and led them upstairs.
The first floor of the i Family was occupied by Old i and i Shuping, the second floor was i Langchi’s room. The third floor was originally used for storage, but later it was cleaned up and renovated into Han Yi’s room.
Actually, there was a vacant room on the second floor as well. i Shuping feared that the two of them living too close would lead to daily conflicts and intensify tension, so they were separated.
"Since Mr. i allowed you to stay, just stay. Anyway, you only have a few days at the courtyard house, and cooking isn’t convenient. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can go to Godmother’s place during the day." Liang Qian said as she led them upstairs, while gently placing Little Star on the bed.
The third floor was quite nice, with one room, a bathroom, and a large balcony where many flowers were planted. It was unclear whose hobby that was.
"Godmother, I understand. Tomorrow, we’ll go to your place with Little Star. I’m really not accustod to being here."
"Alright, tomorrow Godmother will make sothing delicious for you."
"Okay, you and Godfather should go back and rest soon. It’s too hot, don’t worry about us. With Han Yi here, they wouldn’t dare to trouble us."
"Sigh, Xie Lingzhi’s personality is straightforward, everything is written on her face. You’ve seen my mother-in-law, right? She looked so sullen, she’s crafty. I’m just afraid she’ll make things difficult for you. I noticed at dinner today that she was dissatisfied with you."
"Second Aunt, don’t worry, I’m here. They wouldn’t dare to do anything. I’ll take good care of them, mother and daughter." Han Yi knew as well.
"Alright, you guys should rest soon. Xiao Wan, be careful of the stairs up and down."
"Got it, got it, Godmother, you’re sounding like my mom, starting to nag." Lin Wan laughed and hooked onto Liang Qian’s arm, acting a bit coquettish.
"Alright, alright, I’m nagging you. My Godfather is still waiting for downstairs. In the afternoon, Godfather and I will co over."
"Okay, sure."
After watching Godmother go downstairs, Han Yi quickly had Lin Wan lie down to rest for a while.
The i Family was treating them quite well; at least this room was well-decorated, complete with a fan and a TV.
"Are you hot?"
"Yes, I really want to take a bath." Lin Wan felt sticky all over, but she hadn’t brought any clothes.
"Wait, I’ll boil so hot water for you to wipe yourself. It’s not as comfortable here as at our ho, bear with it for now."
"No need, just a bit of breeze will do." Han Yi’s clothes weren’t as comfortable as hers.
"You lie down first. I’m hot too, just right to wash up."
Lin Wan knew he was doing it for her. In the sumr, n could just shower with cold water, but ever since they’d been together, Lin Wan wouldn’t let him shower with cold water, even in sumr.
But sotis, Han Yi would still use cold water when Lin Wan wasn’t paying attention.
After Han Yi went downstairs, he went straight to the kitchen to boil water. The i Family had servants, who were currently tidying up the kitchen.
When they saw Han Yi co in, they quickly called out, "Young Master, do you need anything?"
"I need so hot water for a bath."
In the i Family, i Shuqing married early and had i Lang Jun, considered the eldest young master. Han Yi was three years older than i Lang Jun on the household register, so he was regarded as the eldest young master, while i Langchi, originally ranked second, beca the third young master.
"Young Master, you go upstairs first. I’ll boil it and bring it up to you when it’s ready."
Han Yi nodded and acknowledged that, then went upstairs. However, he waited upstairs for a long ti without seeing the water brought up.
Lin Wan lay on the bed, unable to wait any longer, feeling sleepy.
Han Yi checked his watch, frowned, and turned to go downstairs.
Just as he reached the second floor, he saw i Langchi, looking refreshed, coming out of the second-floor bathroom.
When i Langchi noticed Han Yi, he turned his head and gave her a provocative look.
Han Yi frowned, understanding perfectly well what had happened.
When he reached the kitchen, Aunt Wu was flustered and quickly lowered her head. "Young Master, I was about to bring the water up, but when I reached the second floor, Third Young Master stopped and insisted on using that hot water, even though I told him it was prepared for you. He still insisted, so I had no choice but to give it to him," she said, indicating the pot of boiling water on the stove. "I’ve started boiling it again for you; it’ll be ready soon."
"Be more careful next ti," Han Yi said coldly. His deanor made Aunt Wu a bit apprehensive.
That’s exactly the effect Han Yi wanted. If he wasn’t assertive, even the servants might think they could bully them.
