3408 Never Fall in Love With Someone Like Me 8
“We are friends, but I…” Su Yu was about to say more, but Zeng Rou interrupted him, “Okay. If you truly want to help, rinse the rice for me. I’ll go and peel the cuc.u.mbers.”
She pushed the small pot containing rice into his hands.
Half an hour later, they came out of the kitchen.
“The rice congee is ready.” Zeng Rou placed the pot on the table.
“But I’m full now,” said Lu Yan.
Zeng Rou: “…”
“You’re too slow for a housemaid. Are you a professional housemaid?” Lu Yan stared at Zeng Rou.
“Miss Lu, she’s not a housemaid; she’s my… friend,” Su Yu explained hurriedly.
“Ah? Friend? President Su, you’re very generous to let a female friend live in your house,” Lu Yan said slyly.
Zeng Rou looked a bit embarra.s.sed. She had badgered Su Yu to move into the house, but it was still embarra.s.sing to hear people point it out in public.
“Miss Zeng is President Su’s girlfriend recommended by his family. It’s why she lives here.”
An thought Zeng Rou was nice, making them breakfast and night meals, so he decided to speak for her.
Seeing An and Su Yu defend her, Zeng Rou felt better.
“Oh, girlfriend… I see. I’m sorry for my impertinence.” Lu Yan grinned.
“It’s fine. Let’s… eat.”
Zeng Rou sat down beside Su Yu with a smile and began to have breakfast.
“You two eat; we’re finished. Su Yu, you have a swimming pool out there; I want to take a dip.”
That said, Lu Yan glanced at the twins. “Girls, come with me.”
“Okay, Auntie.”
Obediently, Little Bean and Pudding followed Lu Yan out to the swimming pool.
An finished breakfast and returned to his room to change his clothes.
Left in the dining room all by themselves, Zeng Rou and Su Yu felt a bit awkward.
“That woman is…”
“She’s Mian’s younger sister.” When Su Yu mentioned Huo Mian casually, he always called her Mian in a gentle tone.
“Oh, Dr. Huo’s younger sister. She’s beautiful.”
“Yeah. They have good genes, so Pudding and Little Bean are pretty, too.” Su Yu was proud when he mentioned the twins.
“It seems Pudding and Little Bean are trying to match you up with their auntie,” said Zeng Rou.
“Huh? Are they?” Su Yu was surprised.
“Can’t you see it?”
“Impossible. Their auntie is only a girl a bit over 20. Her temper is too hot for my taste.”
Su Yu had heard how excellent Lu Yan was; after meeting her, he found she was indeed beautiful and had a dominating air about her.
But she wasn’t his type. It was as simple as that.
“The kids want to see you together since you are both excellent people… If so, I don’t think it’s right for me to stay here. I’ll pack up and move to a hotel.”
“Huh? Why? You can live here; there are many rooms in the house.”
If Zeng Rou wanted to move on any other day, Su Yu wouldn’t object; but after the incident, he felt a bit guilty as if they had bullied her out of the house.
“I think I’m not needed here. Ha.” Zeng Rou smiled awkwardly.
Su Yu fell silent…
“Su Yu, if, I mean if, you must choose between me and Lu Yan, whom would you choose?” Zeng Rou looked at his profile and asked earnestly.
