Chapter 17 A dispute at the table
Xia Nuan was holding Wuyou and Nianci in the room, and Coade sent someone outside the room to prevent Luo Dai’er from bursting in and doing radical things.
Xia Nuan was still recovering from fear. She had no idea why Luo Dai’er was so disgusted with her.
Thinking it over, Xia Nuan deemed that it was their previous conversation in the living room that was mistakenly interpreted as her seducing Ye Sichen. Given this, Luo Dai’er was a little overheated.
Ye Sichen enjoyed a high position in the music circles and had great charm. There were not only fans supporting him outside the circle, but also countless women naturally coveting him in the circle. That was why Luo Dai’er was so sensitive to prevent anyone from seducing him every day.
It would be exhausted to have such a marriage.
Despite her deep affections for the babies, Xia Nuan had to consider the resignation issue to avoid Luo Dai’er from misunderstanding.
Until Wuyou and Nianci were asleep, Xia Nuan walked out of the room and went downstairs to the guest room.
Just at the time, a.s.sistant Ken was telling the servants to clean up the drawing room. According to him, several well-known directors and musicians would come and visit soon. Xia Nuan walked over to him and said that she would like to resign.
Ken frowned. He only told her that he would tell Mr. Ye about her resignation, and then asked her to go upstairs and have a rest.
Generally, when some people came to visit Ye Sichen, Xia Nuan rarely went out. Ken said it was Mr. Ye’s decision, probably to avoid suspicion.
In the recording room, Ye Sichen was tuning syllables with his guitarist Lacy and ba.s.sist Abul. He made efforts to tune every syllable ideally. Sometimes Lacy would say that this syllable was fair-sounding enough, but Ye Sichen would listen carefully for a dozen times until each syllable was perfect.
No matter a song or a dance step, Ye Sichen was always striving for excellence.
At this time, Luo Dai’er came over and smiled warmly, “You busy guys, dinner is ready. Take your place then.”
She came to Ye Sichen and sat beside him, holding his hand.
But Ye Sichen raised that hand and dialed towards the console.
Luo Dai’er was depressed about that.
“Ye, I’m sorry.”
She apologized in a low voice.
Ye Sichen seemed to be thinking about something else.
On the table, Luo Dai’er treated Lacy and Abul with the utmost cordiality, and her virtuous performance made the two players feel jealous.
Ye Sichen was silent. He just sat there, looking upstairs. For a moment, he called Ken, leaned and told him in a low voice, “Tell the cook to send some food upstairs.”
Wuyou and Nianci were in the breastfeeding period, so the nutrition of Xia Nuan also had to keep up.
Luo Dai’er stopped Ken from leaving and said, “That’s OK. I’ve already told the cook to serve Ms. Xia’s food once they are ready. She is the nanny of Wuyou and Nianci. And I am very grateful to her for that. Therefore, in order to show my sincerity, I should personally invite her to come down for dinner.”
Luo Dai’er seemed so considerate.
“Dai’er.” Ye Sichen stopped her from inviting Xia Nuan.
For a moment, the atmosphere was come to a deadlock.
Lacy and Abul realized that Ye Sichen and Luo Dai’er seemed to be disputing.
Luo Dai’er turned around, “Ye, it’s a tough work for Ms. Xia to take care of our children. She really made efforts for that. We can’t treat her like an outsider. Am I right?”
Ye Sichen took a look at Ken, and Ken said to Luo Dai’er respectfully, “Mrs. Ye, please take a rest, and I’ll do that for you.”
Luo Dai’er stopped until then.
Xia Nuan was very surprised to hear this since servants and babysitters were not allowed to have dinner there.
Xia Nuan felt uneasy when she saw the two strangers who were sitting at the table downstairs. However, it would be impolite for her to refuse the invitation sent by Ye Sichen.
Luo Dai’er looked at Xia Nuan and kept a generous smile all the time. Only a trace of envy flitted through her eyes.
Ye Sichen tasted a bit of the orange juice and looked out the French window.
In order to protect his voice, he never drank wines.
“Hey, Xia Nuan, come here and sit down. We are all waiting for you.” Whenever Lacy saw beautiful girls, he couldn’t control his dissolute heart.
Anyway, the stalemate was broken thanks to him.
Xia Nuan smiled at Lacy and walked over, sitting in a corner that was neither near Lacy nor near Ye Sichen.
“Hey, I’m Abul, a Ba.s.s player. Are you the nanny of two babies? G.o.d, you look so young.” Compared with Lacy, Abul seemed a little shy and spoke quite sincerely.
Xia Nuan smiled coyly and said politely, “h.e.l.lo, Mr. Abul.”
“Where is your hometown? You don’t look like people from Country F.” Abul asked again.
“Oh, I’m from Zhongshan.”
Lacy drank the wine. The smile on his face was unpredictable, “Are you a fan of Ye?”
“Eh, sort of.”
“Gee, charming as Ye is, the fans would willingly follow him and do anything for him. Why didn’t I ever meet such a good fan?”
Seeing the stiff smile in Luo Dai’er’s face, Xia Nuan hasted to explain, “That’s not true, Mr. Lacy, I am just a babysitter employed by Mr. Ye. Actually, I just like his songs. I’m not crazy enough to…”
“It’s meal time, Lacy. Can’t you stop talking while eating?” Ye Sichen interrupted Xia Nuan. His calm and gentle voice involved a trace of rigor.
Lacy shrugged, smiled and stopped making fun of Xia Nuan.
The lively atmosphere at the table was quiet again.
Xia Nuan took the folk carefully and picked up a piece of salad verdantly.
As an oriental, she preferred chopsticks rather than a knife and fork.
Seeing this, Ye Sichen ordered to add a pair of chopsticks.
Covering the jealousy in her heart, Luo Dai’er gently picked up food for Ye Sichen, “Ye, you need to eat more. You are getting thinner these days.”
Ye Sichen did not refuse her and scooped up a bowl of soup for Luo Dai’er. The later was very happy and still held Ye Sichen’s hand when they were eating.
Lacy and Abul smiled at each other for seeing that.
“Ms. Xia, thank you for taking care of my children. You know how to get along with babies well. I misunderstood you before. Here, I apologize to you formally.” Luo Dai’er poured a gla.s.s of wine and proposed a toast to Xia Nuan personally.
Xia Nuan stood up in a hurry, “Madam, you really don’t have to apologize.”
“If you don’t pick up the wine, you won’t accept my apology?” Luo Dai’er asked sincerely.
Xia Nuan had to take it over.
“She is in the breastfeeding period. It’s not suitable for her to drink.” Ye Sichen said.
Xia Nuan stood in amazement and her hand slightly shrank when she received the wine gla.s.s.
Luo Dai’er was quite unhappy. She was holding the goblet and her nails turned blue and white.
Ye Sichen personally poured a gla.s.s of orange juice for Xia Nuan, “You can drink juice instead.”
Luo Dai’er sneered, “Ye is very thoughtful. I am so careless and forget Ms. Xia is going to feed my babies.”
Xia Nuan took the orange juice from Ye Sichen and quietly drank it.
Luo Dai’er’s eyes twitched slightly and she sat down stiffly.
Ye Sichen was supposed to go to the recording room after dinner. However, his head was groggy all of a sudden and his body was hot. Due to the physical discomfort, he returned to room early.
“I miss you, Ye.”
Entering the bedroom, Luo Dai’er directly threw herself into his arms.
