But then, she smiled again.
“I know I still have to rely on myself, but… sometimes, can you help me?”
“Sometimes?”
“Yes!”Xiao ran nodded. “For example, when he’s at home on weekends, or when you want to go out and play together, can you take me with you? Because sometimes he’s quite busy at work. I don’t want to disturb his work and make him hate me.”
Jing Xinlei remained silent and didn’t respond.
“Is that okay? Xinlei, we’re the best. I don’t need your help with anything else. It’s just this small matter. You… aren’t really unwilling to help me with this small matter, right?”
Meeting her expectant gaze, Jing xinlei finally said, “I’ll give it a try.”
Hearing this, Xiao ran excitedly grabbed her hand again. “Xinlei, I knew you were the best!”
Jing xinlei pulled her hand away again and gave her a light smile.
On the second floor, Zhong Shenghao had just walked down the stairs when he saw the smile on her face.
She had lived here for four years, and this was the first time he had seen her smile.
It seemed that it was right to let Xiao ran come.
“Sheng Hao, you’re Down!”
Xiao ran was sitting at the corner of the stairs. When she saw Zhong Shenghao walking down the stairs, she stood up and walked over.
Jing xinlei turned around and saw the two of them talking and laughing.
She felt so uncomfortable.
Dinner was ready, and the Butler walked out.
“Young master, dinner is ready.”
Hearing this, Zhong Shenghao smiled at the two of them. “Let’s eat.”
The three of them walked to the dining room, and Zhong Shenghao sat down on the main seat.
Jing Xinlei and Xiao ran sat opposite each other.
“HMM… this prawn is so delicious!”
Xiao ran picked up a base shrimp and tasted it. Then, she reached out her chopsticks and picked up a prawn for Zhong Shenghao. “Shenghao, try it!”
Although they were old friends, it was the first time they picked up food for each other. Looking at the prawn in the bowl, Zhong Shenghao couldn’t help but be startled and a little surprised.
Looking at Xiao ran, he saw her smiling brightly at him.
He pursed his lips and nodded. He ate the prawn and didn’t say anything.
On the other side, Jing Xinlei looked a little sad after seeing the intimate interaction between the two of them.
However, from Zhong Shenghao’s point of view, ever since she moved into this villa, she always looked sad every time she ate.
This was also the reason why today was the first time he saw her smile in four years.
Noticing her gaze, Xiao ran seemed to suddenly remember something and said, “AH, xinlei, you should eat more. Try This!”
With that, she picked up a dish for her, but it was not shrimp, but a piece of red braised meat.
She looked at the red braised meat in the bowl. Jing xinlei hesitated for a few seconds, but she picked up the red braised meat and threw it directly on the table.
Her action surprised Zhong Shenghao and Xiao ran.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the dining table was a little quiet, and even a little awkward.
“Xinlei, you…”
Zhong Shenghao seemed to want to say something.
But before he could speak, Xiao ran took the initiative to smile and said to him, “It’s okay! I forgot that Xinlei doesn’t like braised pork, so… it’s my fault. Don’t talk about her.”
Her preconceived words made Jing xinlei feel a little uncomfortable.
It made sense. In four years, everything would fade away, let alone a dish that she didn’t like to eat.
But..
She looked up and glanced at Zhong Shenghao who was also looking at her.
