The man led her into a white car parked on the side of the road.

The curious security guard looked out of the window and clicked his tongue. So it was just a car that cost more than 300,000 yuan. He thought it was some luxury car. Young people nowadays really knew how to play. They often acted out roles. It seemed that their generation had really been poisoned by television dramas. With this thought in mind, he turned on the idol drama he had been watching recently.

In the car, Mingyue sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt. She said softly to the other party, “Then please give me a ride to the nearby market.”

“Young Madam, you don’t have to be so polite with me. This is my job. Oh right, if you want to buy groceries in the future, you can call me directly. I’ll send them to you. You don’t have to go personally.”

“Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. In that case, don’t call me Young Madam. Just call me Ming Yue. I won’t trouble you with grocery shopping. I have nothing to do at home, so I want to go out for a walk.”

The man looked hesitant and conflicted. After a while, he said, “Then… then I’ll call you Ming Yue-jie1 in private from now on. My name is Sun Yu. You can call me Xiao Yu.”

Ming Yue responded with a faint “mm”. Her eyes were filled with worry. She did not understand why the young master would hire a driver for her when he clearly hated her so much.

She was used to being alone. Now, there was suddenly someone waiting for her downstairs every day just to drive her out. On one hand, she felt a little restrained, and on the other hand, she did not have the heart to turn him down. If she refused, this boy called Sun Yu would lose his job.

She was used to living a hard life since she was young and knew that it was not easy for young people to have a stable income. She sighed helplessly and could only bear with it for now.

Now that things had reached this point, there might be other changes in the future. Her life had long been out of her control since two months ago.

The market was bustling. Ming Yue squeezed into the crowd. She went from shop to shop, choosing the vegetables she needed. Sun Yu followed closely behind her, carrying bags of various vegetables. In the beginning, he had wanted to insist on paying, but Ming Yue refused, so he gave up.

After buying the groceries, Sun Yu brought them back. Before he left, he saved Ming Yue’s phone number, saying that it would be more convenient to contact her in the future this way. As soon as Ming Yue left, he copied the number and pasted it to another person. He also reported today’s itinerary to the other party.

There was no reply from the other end. Instead, he was directly called. He quickly picked up the call.

“Young Master.”

“You said that she went to the market to buy groceries because she wants to cook by herself?”

“That’s right. Young Madam even bought a lot of vegetables.”

“How can this woman be so troublesome? Hire a nanny to help her cook.”

She was pregnant with the Liu family’s child and still cooked for herself. If word got out, how would the other nobles in the upper-class circle look at their family? It would be embarrassing. Although he did not like this woman and even hated her, she was still his wife in name and the legitimate young madam of the Liu family.

Ming Yue adjusted the camera angle and was processing the meat and vegetables she had bought. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She helplessly pressed the pause button, washed her hands, and went to open the door.

It was Sun Yu. Behind him stood an auntie in her forties or fifties. She was dressed simply and looked honest. When she saw Ming Yue, she smiled. Ming Yue: “This is…?” Sun Yu explained what had happened, and Ming Yue felt annoyed.

Her profession was a food blogger. Her daily job was to cook and film videos. How could she update any video if there was an auntie cooking for her? Moreover, she enjoyed the process of cooking. She was not born into a rich family, so she felt uncomfortable with someone serving her.

This time, even if this auntie would lose her job, she would not have the time to care about her feelings. She had just moved in and the driver and auntie had already been arranged. Who knew how many strangers would be arranged to barge into her life later? She was quite happy to be able to move out of the old residence. Even if it meant that she did not know how to be grateful, she still felt uncomfortable with people surrounding her.

“Do you have the young master’s phone number?”

Sun Yu nodded subconsciously. “Yes, is there something you want to talk to him about?”

He was still muttering in his heart. Why did the young couple look as if they weren’t very familiar with each other? They even had to ask him for each other’s phone number. After sending the two of them away, Ming Yue sat on the sofa and looked at the number on the screen and hesitated for a long time. She didn’t dare to call him. In the end, she decided to send him a message.

“Young master, it’s Ming Yue. Thank you for arranging for someone to take care of me, but I’m used to living alone and I like to cook. You don’t have to arrange for someone to take care of me and cook for me.”
