Chapter 353 - 353: Go Shopping Together
He explained, “Miss Yin, you…didn’t let me finish my sentence before pushing me into the car. I bought a can of herring. I opened it a little to check. Once this thing is opened, there is no way to seal it back, so…why don’t I just go down?”
Only then did Yin Xun realize that the butler was not just being polite. There was really a problem with the groceries he bought.
The butler explained as he retched. Yin Xun helplessly looked at the bag in the butler’s hand and tried her best to suppress the urge to vomit.
“It’s alright. It’s just a little stench. It’s nothing. I’ll just air the car out when we get back.” She had already let the butler come in, so how could she let him go down again?
However, Yin Xun was puzzled and asked, “Why did you suddenly think of buying canned herring?”
She had only heard of this food before, but she had never experienced it herself. She did not expect it to be even more pungent than durian.
At the very least, durians still had a hint of sweetness and fragrance in the stench, but this one only had the stench of something rotting.
The butler replied, “I’ve been researching a new recipe recently, so 1 bought some new ingredients to try.”
Yin Xun gave the butler a thumbs up in the rearview mirror. How amazing. Fang Yao had so many high-grade ingredients at home that the butler did not use. He instead wanted to use this smelly thing to cook.
With the two of them non-stop retching, they finally arrived at Fang Yao’s house.
“Miss Yin, why don’t you eat at our place tonight? You can try my new dish. It can also be considered as thanking you for giving me a ride. What do you think?” The butler invited Yin Xun warmly.
“There’s no need. I’ll go back and eat. Hurry up and go in. It won’t be good if you get sick.” After Yin Xun said that, she left directly.
The butler stood at the door and watched Yin Xun leave with a hint of unwillingness on his face.
A moment later, Fang Yao took an umbrella and walked to the butler’s side. “I didn’t expect you to really head out.”
The butler sighed and said, “All, I pity my old bones. I thought that I could use the ruse of self-pity to trick Miss Yin Xun to come over for a meal. I did not expect that she would still refuse. Young Master, do you really not worry about that contract?”
“Don’t worry about it,” Fang Yao said lightly.
With Fang Yao’s assurance, the butler was relieved. He patted his chest and said, “Young Master, don’t worry. This is the first time a girl has caught your fancy in so many years. That girl is outstanding. I’ll definitely help you.”
“You don’t have to worry about this. You should hurry back and change and take a shower. Otherwise, you’ll really fall sick,” Fang Yao said concernedly.
The butler smiled and raised his arm to let Fang Yao touch it. “This shirt is waterproof.”
Fang Yao,”…”
Why had he never realized before that the butler was so childish?
Yin Xun drove back home. Although the butler had already gone down with his groceries and she had even opened the car window, the smell still did not dissipate. It was as if there was something rotten in front of her nose, making her want to cry.
She quickly drove the car to the garage, and then she ran away.
When she went into her house, she was surprised that Liu Ying did not come to cook today. It was fine if she did not come, but she should have at least told her.
Yin Xun looked at her phone and was relieved to see that there were no missed calls.
After taking a shower and doing some skincare, she thought about not eating dinner. However, after preparing for bed, her stomach suddenly growled. She had no choice but to make something to eat.
Yin Xun opened the fridge and looked at the ingredients inside. Thinking of her miserable culinary skills, she immediately gave up on cooking. She casually picked up a box of instant noodles and planned to eat that.
After boiling the water, she sat at the side and waited for the noodles to cook. Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number.
Puzzled, Yin Xun answered the call.
“Sister-in-law, it’s me!” Qu Lin’s happy voice came from the phone.
“Qu Lin?”
“That’s me. You didn’t expect me, right?” Qu Lin smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, are you free tomorrow? How about we go shopping together?”
Hearing Qu Lin call her “sister-in-law”, Yin Xun immediately understood what was going on. Qu Lin must have deliberately called her that in order to challenge Qu Lu.
However, nothing happened between her and Fang Yao. Thinking of the contract, Yin Xun quickly said, “I’m not your sister-in-law. Don’t call me that.”
If Lin Chan found out about this, Yin Xun would have to pay her!
