Chapter 1613: Luckily, She Did Not Let Anything Slip
s.h.i.+ Nancang could only let her be. It was rare that he could eat a dinner personally cooked by his younger sister. Even if it was just a simple bowl of noodles, s.h.i.+ Nancang would also be happy.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya cooked some noodles for s.h.i.+ Nancang and sat opposite him to watch him eat.
s.h.i.+ Nancang was not picky. The siblings of the s.h.i.+ family had been taught well from a young age.
Although both of them were born with a silver spoon and had been under exquisite care from the moment they were born, both siblings were neither spoiled nor delicate people.
They could take hards.h.i.+p and did not bother about trifles.
Even now, s.h.i.+ Nancang was not disdainful of whether the food was pristine or not. He did not even mind having the noodles that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had bought online.
“What did you eat for dinner?” s.h.i.+ Nancang asked after slurping in some noodles.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya told him all that she ate truthfully.
s.h.i.+ Nancang said in surprise, “You ate it all yourself? You ate so much?”
“No. Didn’t I tell you just now that Yujie came over? We ate it together tonight. I was the one who cooked,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.
“You ladies can really eat.” s.h.i.+ Nancang was speechless.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya laughed awkwardly and said, “We bought small portions, so it was still okay.”
s.h.i.+ Nancang did not suspect anything and had just casually asked.
He said sentimentally at this moment, “As your elder brother, I rarely have the chance to eat a meal you cooked, yet it’s actually Yujie who’s working with you that had such a good treat.”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s culinary skills were average. It was not super good; it was just that as her elder brother, he was a little jealous.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya cupped her cheeks with her hands and said as she smiled cheerfully, “Then you can come over often, Big Brother. I’ll cook for you. Or how about I cook during the weekend when I come home, after I come back from my work trip? You, Dad, and Mom can try it.”
“Sure,” s.h.i.+ Nancang readily agreed.
After eating, s.h.i.+ Nancang left, leaving time for s.h.i.+ Nancang to pack up.
After sending s.h.i.+ Nancang off, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, she did not let anything slip.
Or else, if s.h.i.+ Nancang knew that Han Zhuoling came over to her house, she would not have been able to explain herself.
Even if there was nothing going on, he would misunderstand that there was something going on.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya washed up s.h.i.+ Nancang’s cutlery and bowl and started to pack her own luggage.
In the week before this, she had already started making a list.
This was her habit. She would usually list out the things she wanted to bring a week before. So whenever she recalled something in a day, she would add it to the list. Usually, within a week’s time, she would be able to take into full consideration the things that she needed to bring.
When she packed in this way, as long as she packed the things on the list one by one and struck it off the list after she did so, she would avoid the panic of last-minute packing and the situation where she only realized she forgot to bring this or that when she reached foreign land, which would be troublesome as well.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya packed her things one by one according to the list before checking conscientiously all the items on the list from top to bottom again. There was nothing she left out, so she locked the luggage and pulled it over to the entrance of the house, so that she could just take it out with her the next morning when was leaving the house.
There was another smaller luggage of about 20 inches next to the big luggage, which contained all the things she needed for work.
After packing everything, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya went to bathe, intending to sleep comfortably after that.
Yet when she returned to her bedroom and flipped her blanket over, she saw the tie that she had hidden under it earlier on.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya smacked her head. She had forgotten about this.
She picked up the tie and carefully rolled it up, placing it beside the tie from yesterday which she forgot to return.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya sighed. She did not manage to return the tie, and the ties just multiplied.
Since she needed to put away Han Zhuoling’s tie anyway, the drawer was also slightly tidied up by her.
