Chapter 481 If You Don’t Be Good, Change One
At the Xiao family, Shen Lan was indeed hungry in the middle of the night, so she quietly went downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat.
She had no hope.
Madam Xiao and Xiao Yun didn't have the habit of eating late-night snacks, so the kitchen was always closed at night. Fresh ingredients were usually used up by dinner time, so there was no leftover food.
Shen Lan was so hungry that her stomach felt a little uncomfortable. There were no snacks in the room, so she could only try her luck in the kitchen.
To her surprise, there was a light in the kitchen tonight.
She walked over quietly and found that it was the kitchen servant cooking porridge.
The savory and salty smell of the casserole seafood porridge wafted into Shen Lan's nose, and she couldn't help but feel her stomach growl twice.
The two sounds startled the people in the kitchen, and the servant turned around and looked at her.
Shen Lan was a little embarrassed. She opened her red lips slightly and asked in a low voice, "Is this the porridge that Madam Xiao wants to eat?"
When she came out just now, she saw from the balcony that the lights in Xiao Yun's room were off. He should be asleep. It was impossible that he wanted to have a midnight snack.
The servant heard this and shook his head with a smile: "No, this is prepared for you."
"Ah?" Shen Lan was stunned.
Prepared for her? Did this servant have precognitive abilities? How did he know she would come down for a midnight snack?
The servant saw what she was thinking and said with a smile, "The young master asked the kitchen to prepare some food tonight, saying that you didn't eat dinner and might be hungry in the middle of the night."
Shen Lan's eyelashes trembled, and her eyes were filled with surprise and complexity.
Did Xiao Yun order it?
Wasn't he tired of her? Why would he be so considerate as to ask the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack for her in case she got hungry at night?
Shen Lan was a little confused and couldn't figure out what Xiao Yun wanted to do.
She even suspected that this was Xiao Yun's conspiracy. He was extremely cold to her during the day, but suddenly treated her well at night. He might want to take this opportunity to do something.
After thinking about all kinds of thoughts, Shen Lan's mentality suddenly calmed down.
Anyway, Xiao Yun wouldn't poison her, so just eat it. The worst result would be leaving him.
Leaving was her destined ending.
Shen Lan suddenly smiled, her face radiant under the light: "I'm indeed hungry, please help me get a bowl."
"Okay, Miss Shen." After the servant said this, he eagerly helped her serve the porridge.
Shen Lan watched quietly, feeling sad in his heart.
Xiao Yun has been very cold to her these past two days, and anyone with eyes can see it. Some servants in the house have seen through their master's attitude and followed suit, intentionally or unintentionally being perfunctory with her.
Shen Lan has always been sensitive in this regard and noticed it easily.
But she said nothing. She shouldn't have enjoyed the servants' services. She was just Xiao Yun's assistant, and essentially provided services.
Just as I was thinking about it, a bowl of fragrant seafood porridge was brought to me.
Shen Lan took it, thanked him gently, and brought it to the dining room to drink the porridge slowly. The porridge was cooked just right, and his stomach felt warm, and his limbs were warm too.
The next day, as soon as Shen Lan walked out of the room, she ran into Xiao Yun who had just finished taking a shower and was about to go downstairs for breakfast.
Seeing his cold eyes, Shen Lan curled the corners of her lips, and the warmth brought by the bowl of seafood porridge last night faded away little by little.
"Mr. Xiao, good morning."
Xiao Yun nodded and said in a low voice: "Let's have a quick breakfast later. I have something to do tomorrow, so the work today will be very heavy."
Shen Lan immediately understood: "I will prepare refreshing tea and medicinal food to replenish physical and mental strength."
Xiao Yun frowned and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just said in a deep voice, "Yeah, very good."
People who were once very close to each other now seem to be separated by mountains and seas and are facing each other in indifference.
The day passed quickly at work without incident.
The Xiao employees seemed to have been warned and treated her naturally, as if they were completely unaware of yesterday's rumors.
When Manager Wang saw her at the company, his eyes were a little evasive and he looked very guilty.
Shen Lan responded with a faint smile.
Manager Wang sighed, and when no one was around, he said to her, "Assistant Shen, don't blame me..."
Shen Lan interrupted him, still smiling beautifully: "Of course I won't blame you. We are all workers, and you are just following orders."
Just like Jin Yu said, without Xiao Yun's instructions, how could he, a public relations manager, post a rumor-refuting Weibo without authorization?
Shen Lan didn't blame him, but Manager Wang felt indescribably complicated.
What a pity, this child is so considerate.
He patted Shen Lan's shoulder and said earnestly, "I've been through this before, so I'll give you a piece of advice. Men aren't good people. Don't indulge in the illusory love they offer. Remember to always put yourself first."
"You're good-looking and have a good personality, so many people like you. If you really want to be in a relationship, take the initiative. If this one isn't obedient, find another. Never feel sad for a man."
