This porridge really suited Yan Zhen's appetite, and he ate half a bowl in one go before putting down the spoon, and seeing that Ling Mo was not eating, he took a steamed scallop and put it on his plate. After clamping, I remembered that Ling Mo's hand had healed, and there was no need for her to pick up vegetables at all. After helping Ling Mo pick up vegetables for a few months, she got used to it, and when she saw the empty plate in front of him, she couldn't help but pick up the dishes.
"Actually, you don't have to accompany me to eat Chinese food every day, do you want the kitchen to make you a steak?" Yan Zhen felt that Ling Mo was absent-minded about eating this meal, probably because he didn't like Chinese food.
"No, I don't. Ling Mo is not picky about food, but when he first met Yan Hao, he was too eager to integrate her into his own world, forcing her to eat food she didn't like, looking back, he was really ashamed of his rudeness and naivety.
After dinner, the butler told her that there was a home theater on the third floor of the castle. She doesn't have much interest in TV shows here, and watching movies is really a good choice.
"I'll go with you. Ling Mo took Yan Zhen's hand and walked upstairs slowly, "We haven't seen a movie together yet." β
"We've watched "My Neighbor Totoro" together, okay......" Yan Zhen thought that Ling Mo's memory couldn't be so bad as this.
"That time doesn't count. "He's talking about dating and watching movies, how can it be considered a date with two little guys?
Yan Zhen was a little surprised, the shelves were actually stored with that kind of movie copies, boxes of movie films, which reminded her of the time when she watched open-air movies when she was a child. At that time, there were no cultural and entertainment activities in the village, and there was a screening team to show movies, which was more lively than festivals. Everyone gathered in the barn early in the morning, and the projectionists made preparations before the screening, which made everyone feel new and interesting.
"What do you want to see?" Ling Mo asked Yan Zhen as he adjusted the machine.
Yan Zhen chose an old movie: "That's it." β
"MyFairLady?" Ling Mo took the box Yan Zhen handed him, and skillfully packed the film.
"It's quite skilled, just like the projectionists in our town. Yan Zhen teased.
Ling Mo took Yan Zhen into the sofa and turned off the light with the remote control: "My mother likes to watch film movies...... So, Sebastian and I have been doing this since we were kids......"
This was the second time Ling Mo mentioned Sebastian today, and his tone was not emotional, and he didn't feel likes or dislikes at all. Anyway, if Leon hadn't told Yan Zhen that Sebastian was his own brother, she wouldn't have felt that they were brothers.
Yan Zhen didn't know how to answer, so she had to say a little dryly, "I think you and this Professor Higgins ...... It's pretty similar...... Hehe. β
"Then, you are also like Eliza......" Ling Mo lowered his head and kissed Yan Zhen lightly on the cheek, and soon tossed and turned to the soft lips.
"I'm not like Eliza...... "Yan Zhen shrunk her neck and avoided some clingy kisses, "I'm not as beautiful as Hepburn." β
"Hmm......" Ling Mo rested his chin on her shoulder, "I think you're prettier......"
"That's probably ...... Is there something wrong with your eyes or aesthetics......" Yan Zhen leaned on Ling Mo's solid chest and watched the movie seriously.
"Do you want to eat fruit?" Ling Mo brought the fruit plate on the coffee table to Yan Zhen, looking like 'you can choose'.
Yan Zhen picked up a strawberry with a small silver fork, and the sweet strawberry with a hint of milky fragrance was really delicious. Yan Zhen picked up another one and fed it to Ling Mo: "This strawberry is very delicious." β
"If you like to eat, let them bring fresh food every day. "Ling Mo is very satisfied with Yan Zhen's 'feeding'.
"If only the babies were here...... They're going to love it too......" Yan Zhen muttered quietly.
"I can't invite them over to play yet...... "Now this manor seems to be peaceful and peaceful, but in fact, there is a turbulent undercurrent. Ling Mo seemed to be appeased, "However, you can send some strawberries over." Anyway they're still in Nice, and they'll be there in an hour or two. β
"......" Yan Zhen silently rolled her eyes in her heart, do you think it will take you an hour or two to drive? Is it an hour or two by plane...... However, it is indeed much better than an international flight of more than ten hours, "How do you send it?"
"Just leave this kind of thing to Leon, and he will do it. Ling Mo scratched the tip of his nose, if he had to arrange such a trivial matter personally, what was the use of him raising so many servants?
"Oh. Although Yan Zhen was staring at the screen, her mind was no longer on the movie, and she began to think about what to bring to Xiaowan and the babies.
The door was knocked lightly a few times, Ling Mo's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he let go of the arm around Yan Zhen's waist, if it wasn't something that couldn't be handled, no one would dare to disturb it.
Ling Mo walked out of the theater and turned back a few minutes later: "I have something to go out, you stay in the castle obediently, if you want to go out, let Ah Quan follow." β
"How long are you going?" Listening to Ling Mo's tone, it seemed like he was going out for a long time.
"It won't be long, I'll be back tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Ling Mo rubbed Yan Zhen's hair, he had never seen his little woman so clingy before.
"Oh. Yan Zhen nodded, "Be careful, don't get hurt again." β
"It's not about doing dangerous things, don't worry. Ling Mo pinched Yan Zhen's cheek before leaving.
After Ling Mo left, Yan Zhen was not in the mood to watch a movie, and stretched out and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
The early morning sun fell on her cheeks, and Yan Zhen rubbed her eyes and crawled out of the quilt. The bedroom was large, and it seemed empty and lonely when there was only one person. Yan Zhen freshened up, changed into a Chinese-style cross-collar dress, and went downstairs for breakfast.
"Ma'am, this is orange candy made on the farm. Leon placed a crystal candy jar in front of Yan Zhen, "I think you like what they make......
"Thank you. Yan Zhen peeled a gummy and put it in her mouth, it was very fresh orange flavor, "What other specialties are there on the farm?" β
"Yes, ma'am. β
The housekeeper was very efficient, and after breakfast, Yan Zhen saw a bunch of 'local products': ham, cheese, jam, wine...... There are even purified essential oils and hydrosols. Yan Zhen was very satisfied with the things Leon chose, and immediately found the packing box and began to pack, the essential oil and hydrosol need to be packed separately from the food, Yan Zhen thought for a while, and stuffed the coarse cloth dolls and wool felt dolls made by herself into the box, which can be used as fillers and play with the babies.
Yan Zhen and Leon were very busy, and a maid came in to report, "Madam, Lady Su Yi asks to see you." β
Yan Zhen stopped what she was doing, Zheng Shuyuan has always liked to stab people in the back, although they had gotten along under the same roof before, they really didn't have much friendship. What are you running to her for now?
Yan Zhen pondered for a few seconds before speaking, "Please let her in." β
Leon opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything. If the maid had come to inform him, he would have sent them away - the gentleman had made a special explanation before going out, and that any visitor did not have to be reported to the lady, and that he would not be seen at all. But now that Madame had 'invited' people in, it was difficult for him to speak again. The strong desire to survive told him that he couldn't do such a thing as refuting the hostess's face.
Soon, the sound of clattering high heels hitting the floor came from the hallway, and Zheng Shuyuan walked over her shoulder. Her hair was dyed flaxen and curled high, presumably the work of a hairstylist, the kind of hair that was very fancy and still looked gorgeous even if it wasn't embellished with any hair accessories. The burgundy high-leg dress sets off her good figure very well, and her slender and fair legs can be faintly seen through the gap in the skirt. Only one piece of jewelry was worn all over the body, which was a pair of vintage-style ruby tassel earrings, which should be a valuable antique if I read it correctly.
Yan Zhen frowned slightly, Zheng Shuyuan's outfit was almost the same as going to the banquet, come to see her...... It's a bit too grand, isn't it?
"I should ...... Can you sit down?" Zheng Shuyuan lifted her chin slightly and glanced at the sofa.
"You may be seated. Yan Zhen herself sat down and tilted her head to tell the maid to prepare tea.
The maid quickly brought fruit and tea, and Zheng Shuyuan sat upright on the sofa with a straight back, like a teacher demonstrating her body in an etiquette class.
Zheng Shuyuan deliberately ignored Yan Zhen, who was sitting on the main seat, and turned her head to the housekeeper: "Sir...... When can you see me?"
"......" Yan Zhen rolled her eyes in her heart, it turned out that people didn't come to her! and there was no desire to communicate with herself, Yan Zhen ignored Zheng Shuyuan, and returned to the table not far away, and continued to pack her souvenirs.
"Ahem, Mr. is out, if you come to see Mr., please go back. "Leon really didn't know where Mrs. Sue got her confidenceβevery time she went back to the manor, she would come and ask for it, and when did she see her?, how could she get in if he was there......
Zheng Shuyuan's joy just now because Ling Mo was willing to see her suddenly fell to the bottom. When she looked at Yan Zhen's busy back again, she brought a bit of resentment - she deliberately made herself happy.
"Then I'll wait here for the gentleman to come back. "Since this stupid woman gave her the opportunity to enter the castle, she will not give up easily.
"The gentleman didn't say when he would be back. Leon wished that Madame Sue would leave immediately. This woman is not a peaceful person, she drugged her husband and somehow got into Master Sebastian's wine glass, and the two not only got together, but also held a wedding...... She is playing so big with death, if something happens, she has ten lives that are not enough to be cannon fodder for her.
"I could have waited forever. Zheng Shuyuan heard that Ling Mo was not in the castle now, so she leaned on the sofa, hooked the teacup with her fingers, and took a sip of tea. There is no added sugar, but the black tea has a sweet aftertaste, with a little fruity fragrance.
