At this moment, Xia Feng was also a little excited. He felt that his sister was willing to let him take care of the stall by himself, which told of how much she trusted him. However, he was used to acting serious in front of Xia Wan, so he tried his best to keep a straight face.
Xia Wan nodded and confidently said, “Of course I trust you.”
After watching Xia Wan and the others leave, Xia Feng happily jumped on the spot for a while.
“Little brother, how much is this?” A female voice rang out beside him. Xia Feng quickly regained his calm. When he was facing customers, he became unusually steady and considerate.
Meanwhile, Xia Wan quickly followed Zhou Tian to Zhou Xiaorou’s place, but they did not enter through the main door.
Zhou Tian brought them to the back of the villa. He pushed aside a pile of straw and said to Xia Wan, “There is a dog hole here, and I haven’t fixed it. According to what you said, since we shouldn’t raise any suspicions, let’s go in from here.
Xia Wan looked at Zhou Tian with a complicated expression. Zhou Tian thought that Xia Wan disliked the dog hole, so he quickly said, “I know it’s a little insulting, but this is the safest way for now.”
Xia Wan knew that Zhou Tian had misunderstood her. She quickly waved her hand and said, “No, Mr. Zhou, it’s not that I don’t like this dog hole. I just realized that it’s rather small. Are you sure you can get in?”
It was not that she was looking down on Zhou Tian, but he was indeed a little chubby. The hole was more than enough for her to squeeze through, and although her brother was tall, he was skinny, so he made it through easily. However, it would be a little difficult for Zhou Tian to get through.
Zhou Tian saw that Xia Wan was worried that he would not be able to get through. He patted his chest confidently and said, “Don’t worry. I went through this dog hole last year. I’ll be the first to go through, if you don’t believe me.”
Then, Xia Wan saw Zhou Tian push the straw away with great familiarity and crawl into the hole. As a result, he was stuck in the hole.
The front half of Zhou Tian was in the courtyard, while his lower half was outside.
Zhou Tian couldn’t help but make uncomfortable grunts. “Wanwan, help push me. I can’t get in, no matter how hard I try.”
Xia Wan tried her best to hold back her laughter. Then, she asked Xia Chen to push Zhou Tian into the room.
After that, Xia Chen and Xia Wan also entered the villa through the dog hole.
After they had all entered the villa, Zhou Tian blocked the entrance of the cave.
Zhou Tian brought them to a quiet room. They could see what was happening in the living room through the window.
When lunch was ready, Luo Xin placed the dishes in front of Zhou Xiaorou. She then took the initiative to pick up a spoon and said, “Let’s do as Xia Wan said. I’ll try it for you now, Sister Xiaorou. Today’s dish is delicious. You’ll definitely like it!
Zhou Xiaorou nodded her head, her heart filled with joy and antic.i.p.ation.
Luo Xin’s cooking had always been scrumptious, and she varied her styles often, something that Zhou Xiaorou found to be a delight.
Luo Xin swallowed the rice in her mouth and tried her best to look natural. Then, she placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Zhou Xiaorou, waiting for her to eat.
Luo Xin stared at Zhou Xiaorou with her heart in her mouth. As long as Zhou Xiaorou took a mouthful, she would no longer have to serve her in the future. Very soon, she would become the mistress of this villa.
Just as Zhou Xiaorou picked up the spoon, Zhou Tian and the others quickly rushed out.
“Wait, Rou. I was looking for you.”
Zhou Tian did not directly say there was a problem with the food but pretended to be talking to Zhou Xiaorou. While he spoke, Xiaorou also stopped what she was doing.
Zhou Xiaorou looked at Zhou Tian a little doubtfully and asked, “Dad, when did you arrive? Why didn’t I notice you? Wanwan, why are you here? Is there something wrong?”
Zhou Xiaorou was a little puzzled. Why hadn’t she received any news?
Xia Wan and Xia Chen quickly carried the dishes in Zhou Xiaorou’s hands to another higher table, not letting Luo Xing touch them.
Zhou Xiaorou was even more confused. “What are you guys doing?”
Luo Xin was panicking when she saw this, but she tried her best to appear calm. She asked, “Uncle Zhou, why are you here? Why didn’t I see you? Are Xia Wan and the others here as guests? I’ll make some more food.”
As she spoke, she seemed to be heading to the kitchen..
