Chapter 354 - 354: Untitled
At the Han family residence.
Li An’an was ushered into the villa. It was a 1,000-square-meter villa with a garden and lawn. This was a well-to-do family.
“Miss Li, welcome to our house! Please come in!” Lin Qiuyue was wearing a loose-fitting traditional-style Tang costume. She walked over looking very enthusiastic.
“Hello, Auntie!” Han Lele stood behind her grandmother and greeted Li An’an. The last time, she was almost washed away by the sea. It was this auntie who saved her.
“Hello!” Li An’an stroked the child’s soft hair. The sense of gratitude she felt seeing the girl alive was immense.
Han Dongyue came downstairs and ordered someone to serve fruits and pastries.
Li An’an took a look. As expected of a gourmand. The pastries and fruits they had at home were nothing but the best! She picked up a piece of crystal clear bean pastry and took a bite. It was soft and sweet.
“This is custom-made. If you like it, take some home with you!” Han Dongyue turned around and instructed someone to pack some for her.
“Okay.” Li An’an didn’t stand on ceremony. Knowing that Baobao loved eating, she wanted to bring some snacks home for the child!
“I wonder if you need any help with your work in the entertainment industry.
Don’t misunderstand. We’re sincerely grateful. The child is our treasure. Without you, our family might be in mourning now!” Han Dongyue’s tone was sincere.
Li An’an could tell that they really wanted to thank her, but she shook her head. “I’m doing very well now, so you don’t have to stand on ceremony. I didn’t do that much. If you treat me like an outsider, I’ll feel embarrassed!”
Han Dongyue frowned. He prided himself on being an upright person who would repay kindness. He didn’t like to owe any favors. Hence he had used his connections to find Li An’an’s phone number. He wanted to repay her kindness.
“But if I ever run into trouble in the future, I won’t hold back!” Li An’an said tactfully. At the moment, she didn’t need any help.
Han Dongyue nodded. “Alright then! Lunch isn’t ready yet. Let Auntie Lin show you around the house!”
Lin Qiuyue and Han Lele were very hospitable and took Li An’an to the garden for a stroll. Then they went upstairs, and drank tea on the balcony. The balcony on the second floor was huge. From upstairs, one could see the garden and the scenery beyond it. It was relaxing!
“Miss Li, do you have a boyfriend?” Lin Qiuyue was beginning to like Li An’an more and more. Even though the latter came from an ordinary family, Lin Qiuyue realized that she was very polite and her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. She was growing quite fond of the woman!
“No, I don’t plan to be in a relationship just yet!” Li An’an smiled sheepishly. Although she liked Auntie Lin a lot and found her endearing, she maintained her privacy. Besides, she really wasn’t keen on getting into a relationship at this point.
Lin Qiuyue was disappointed. She had wanted to introduce one of her relatives to Li An’an. Those guys gave her cause to worry. They were so focused on their careers, that even when they had the rare chance of meeting a beautiful and kind person, they were not interested. But it wasn’t as though she could force him.
Li An’an leaned back in her chair, basking in the sun as she chatted with Lele. Perhaps it was because she had three children, she was very good at coaxing them! The two of them whispered to each other.
However, Li An’an’s eyelids started twitching, as if something bad was happening! She thought, other than the Li family playing some dirty tricks, there was nothing that really worried her.
Noon.
Food was ready. Lin Qiuyue and Li An’an made their way downstairs. Lunch was a delicious spread of Chinese cuisine that looked and smelled good. There was also a nourishing soup!
Everything was meticulously selected, right down to the soup bowls and ingredients! Moreover, the soup was rich in flavor, having been stewed for a long time!
They started eating.
Li An’an tasted every dish..
