Chapter 2188: Chapter 2190: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

"I bought a lot of groceries, but my husband didn’t come home today, so they’d just go to waste. Why don’t you take them back and eat them?"

"Um." Jiang Nuan returned the items she was holding to her, refusing, "He didn’t come back, you can put them in the fridge and wait for him to handle them when he returns..."

The Filipina maid insisted on giving them to her, saying with a frustrated expression, "Just take them, Miss Susan. You’re so nice, taking Nuan Tuan out for walks and even buying dog food for it, this is just a little token of my appreciation. The husband is good in everything, but he’s too picky and only eats fresh vegetables and meat. If he doesn’t come back today, he won’t want these after they’ve been in the fridge. Rather than waste them, it’d be better if you took them back, Miss Susan."

Jiang Nuan wanted to say that her salary at the research institute was decent and she didn’t need to take others’ unwanted groceries, but the maid was insistent, and seeing that her intentions were good, Jiang Nuan ended up taking the lot home.

She came back with an armful of groceries, couldn’t even change her shoes, and then heard a deep male voice, "You’re back?"

"Yeah." The items in her arms were precariously balanced, and Jiang Nuan, like a juggler, was worried they’d fall, focusing all her attention on the items, hurrying to put them in the kitchen.

Fu Yi saw her flushed face with the huge pile of groceries, and reached out to help lighten her load, "Why did you bring back so many things?"

Jiang Nuan finally freed herself from the danger of dropping anything, bit her lip, and walked to the kitchen helplessly, "They’re from the maid of the neighbor across the street, she said her neighbor didn’t come back, if no one eats these things, they’d just be wasted, she made me bring them back."

Fu Yi watched her open the refrigerator and put them away one by one, then fell silent for a moment, "What do you think of your neighbor?"

Jiang Nuan was just putting a steak into the fridge, and without looking up, she replied, "In what aspect?"

Fu Yi handed her the milk, casually asking, "I mean, what do you think of him as a person?"

Jiang Nuan raised her head to take the milk bottle he handed, bright-eyed and innocent, "Can I say I haven’t seen him?"

"I only heard about him from his maid, he seems nice, he coincidentally helped me once before, but he seems a bit introverted, doesn’t like meeting strangers. Overall, he should be good. He often gives me vegetables he grows himself. Oh right, their garden is quite interesting... he might be a very interesting person."

After all, a man who grows bok choy next to orchids worth thousands should be an interesting soul.

Jiang Nuan quickly sorted everything out, just as the chicken soup on the stove started boiling. She closed the fridge and hurried to check on the soup.

Half an hour later, the table was filled with an array of home-cooked dishes, fragrant and colorful. Jiang Nuan served two bowls of rice, placed them on the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down to say, "I called the airport, they said they’d check if there was an issue, if they find your luggage, they’ll call me. Mahali’s efficiency means they’ll probably get back to me by tomorrow, just wait a bit."

"Mm." Fu Yi picked up his chopsticks with his long fingers, responding nonchalantly.

Jiang Nuan saw he was calmly eating, hesitated, and continued, "After dinner, I’ll prepare the room upstairs for you; the things I bought in the afternoon include your toothpaste, toothbrush, pajamas, and change of clothes. You must be tired after sitting on a plane all day, you can take a shower first."
