Chapter 1532 - Have You Been In Any Prior Relationships?
The moment Qin Shuhua stepped in, she saw all the electrical appliances arranged neatly. There was an electric rice cooker, induction cooker, electric juicer, and microwave oven, among many others. They all seemed to be new additions to the kitchen.
She took a look around the kitchen and opened the disinfecting cabinet. All the eating vessels and utensils were arranged neatly inside. She opened the fridge and found it stocked abundantly with fruits, eggs, milk, beverages, and snacks.
It isn’t possible Li Jinnan prepared this on his own. That means it had to be done by that lady. Apparently, she knows a thing or two about how to run the everyday chores.
Li Jinnan isn’t good at taking care of himself, and he is rarely willing to return home to the old manor. Having such a woman take care of him isn’t such a bad idea after all.
Qin Shuhua nodded her head in satisfaction. She looked down at the floor. It was so clean that not even a strand of hair remained.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Qin Shuhua checked out the sitting room next. She inspected the areas around the couch and found everything to be in order and appropriately placed.
Not bad. On the merit of her skill in tidying up alone, she is leaps and bounds better than Li Jinnan.
A commotion could suddenly be heard coming from inside. Qin Shuhua hurriedly sat back down on the couch. She heard footsteps. They weren’t Li Jinnan’s. They were lighter footsteps belonging to a female.
Qin Shuhua turned her head to look and saw a lady in a white dress. She looked to be in her 20s. She had a delicate and elegant demeanor. She was wearing a long white sleeveless dress and didn’t have any makeup on. Her hair was neither long nor short. It reached her neck and was tucked behind her ears. The lady looked extremely clean and fresh.
Ye Youyou saw Qin Shuhua’s slight resemblance to Li Jinnan and immediately knew who she was. She smiled bashfully and greeted, “Hello, Auntie.”
Qin Shuhua had heard various descriptions and accounts of Ye Youyou, but there was nothing like seeing her in person. She seemed to be a very clean and docile young lady.
She stood up and smiled at Ye Youyou. “Hello, you must Miss Ye.”
“Yes, Auntie. Please just call me Youyou.” Ye Youyou walked over. When she saw that Qin Shuhua already had a cup in front of her, she reached out and said, “Please sit. Would you like something else to drink? I just bought some beverages yesterday.”
“That’s not necessary. I’m not thirsty.” Qin Shuhua’s smile reached her eyes. “You should have a seat too. Have a seat.”
Ye Youyou’s heart was beating at a mile a minute. She was so nervous.
This was Ye Youyou’s first time experiencing what it was like to “meet the parents.” She had grown up with Shen Luo’an and had naturally been familiar with his parents. Hence, even when it came to discussing the marriage, she hadn’t really experienced any nerves.
It was different with Li Jinnan’s mother. Although the feelings between Ye Youyou and Li Jinnan were fiery hot and their relationship was intimate, she still felt that it was far too soon for them to be meeting each other’s parents.
Meeting Li Jinnan’s mother made Ye Youyou feel nervous and awkward at the same time. She noticed Qin Shuhua sizing her up. The hair at the back of her neck began to stand.
“I heard from the kids that you were very pretty and warm. Now, I can see that it was all true. It’s no wonder that my dear Li Jinnan likes you so much.” Qin Shuhua’s smile made her eyes become small crescents. “You turned 25 this year?”
“Yes, Auntie,” Ye Youyou replied.
“That’s not very young anymore,” Qin Shuhua said. “Where did you study at previously?”
“I studied in the Capital, Auntie,” Ye Youyou said.
“In the Capital? So, you’re from the north?” Qin Shuhua asked.
“I guess so,” Ye Youyou replied. “I lived in Yun Town until I was 10 and then moved to the Capital. I stayed there for more than a decade.”
“Oh. Well, have you been in any prior relationships?” Qin Shuhua asked.
