Ming Yue watched as the young master finished the entire bowl of rice, leaving nothing behind. She thought to herself that he must be really hungry. “Old Madam said that she wants us to go back to the old residence for lunch today.”

Liu Jingxing paused for a moment and turned to look at her. He asked seriously, “Do you want to go? If you don’t, I’ll tell grandma we won’t be there.” The old lady just wanted to see her precious granddaughter-in-law and her precious great-grandson in her stomach.

Previously, he had always felt that Ming Yue liked to get close to his grandma to win over her heart. He had also thought that she would also speak ill of him behind his back. Now that he thought about it, during those two months, she had been very restrained and careful every day she stayed in the old residence. Every time his grandma spoke, she would smile dryly, even if she did not want to.

Unfortunately, at that time, he hated her every time he looked at her. He felt that her smile was flattering, and she was even doing it terribly.

Ming Yue did not expect the young master to ask her if she wanted to go. She had always felt that the Old Madam’s words were like an imperial edict. Not to mention her, even the young master could not resist easily. Liu Jingxing seemed to have seen through her hesitation. “If you don’t want to go, then don’t. You just have to care about your feelings. I will handle the rest.”

Ming Yue thought for a moment and smiled faintly at him. “Let’s go. Even if we don’t go this time, we will have to go next time.” Moreover, the old madam treated her quite well. It was just that she would feel nervous when she was in the old residence.

“Okay, then I’ll come back and pick you up after I’m done with work.”

Ming Yue cleaned up the dining table and the kitchen. Then, she went to water the plant. She did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the plant that was about to wither was now a little more energetic. She did not have much to do in the morning, so Ming Yue put on a coat and went to the market to buy groceries.

“Ming Yue-jie, are you going to the market?” Sun Yu saw her from afar and waved his hand.

“That’s right, I’m going to get some vegetables.”

Sun Yu smiled brightly. “Okay, Ming Yue-jie.”

The security guard looked at the backs of the two young people. Sun Yu had already explained to him yesterday that this woman was his boss’s wife. His daily job was to pick up the lady boss. His job was simple and easy, and his boss paid him a high salary. The security guard rubbed his nose and muttered in his heart, “I drive quite steadily. Why don’t I steal this job?”

Sun Yu, who was driving, suddenly sneezed. He was puzzled. He hadn’t caught a cold recently. “Ming Yue-jie, put on your seatbelt slowly. Don’t worry, we’re not in a hurry.” Ming Yue looked at him strangely, wondering why this person was so enthusiastic about work.

While shopping, Ming Yue walked at the front. Sun Yu chased after her from behind and carried all the bags into her hands. Her hands were empty. Ever since Ming Yue got pregnant, she had paid special attention to pregnant women and babies. She saw four or five pregnant women at the market. After walking for a while, she met another one. She was extremely thin and carried a lot of things in her hands. She subconsciously looked up and was stunned. “Wenxin?”

When Gao Wenxin heard the familiar voice, she subconsciously turned around. “Yue Yue, why did you come all the way here?”

Ming Yue forgot to tell her that she had already moved here from the small house in the suburbs. A lot of things happened during this period.

“This is…” Gao Wenxin looked at Sun Yu. “Is he your boyfriend?”

Before Ming Yue could explain, Sun Yu shook his head frantically. “No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not.” Gao Wenxin looked at his flustered expression and became even more suspicious.

“This is a distant cousin of mine. Don’t misunderstand.” Ming Yue decided not to tell her good friend about the ridiculous things that had happened to her. Gao Wenxin had liked to overthink since she was young. Her life had changed drastically. If Ming Yue told her, Wenxin would only worry about her for no reason and add to her worries.

“How are things between you and Xing Yixiao? He didn’t bully you, did he?” Ming Yue asked as she reached out to take the vegetables from Wenxin’s right hand. One of the bags was a pumpkin, and it was quite heavy.

“No, he deleted that colleague’s contact after that day. He has been quite busy with work recently. Other than working overtime a lot, there’s nothing else.”

The two of them chatted as they walked out. At the entrance of the market was the bus stop. Wenxin looked at the time and said, “Yixiao will get off work early today. He has been talking about wanting to eat pumpkin chicken drumstick stew. Let’s meet another day. I’ll go home and cook first.” Coincidentally, a bus drove over at this time. Wenxin snatched the groceries from Ming Yue’s hand and said anxiously, “The bus is here. Let’s meet another day, Yue Yue.”
