Chapter 317: The Visit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Granny was a person who could not stay idle.

When Bai Lin had just earned some money and had some savings, she had once hired a nanny for Granny.

However, a few days later, the nanny resigned from her job.

“Boss, I really can’t take this salary. The old lady did all the work herself. I really can’t help at all.”

At that time, Bai Lin only thought that since she had earned money, she wanted to give the best to Granny. After this incident, Bai Lin and Granny had a good chat.

In the end, Bai Lin would send some money to Granny every month. Occasionally, when she went to a new place, she would ask someone to send some local specialties to Granny.

It had been a long time since Bai Lin had seen Granny so busy at home. In the past two years, she had been busier in order to get rid of her former days as soon as possible, and she had also been in a hurry when she occasionally went home to see Granny.

From now on, though, she would have more time to spend with Granny. Sometimes, she would deliberately create some small problems such as not being able to find something, or the clothes she bought did not fit well enough and so on, for Granny to help her solve.

Just like now, Bai Lin moved a small stool and sat next to Granny to watch her knit a small wool flower hairpin for her.

The doorbell rang just as Granny was done knitting it.

Bai Lin suddenly felt nervous.

This was because she knew that the person who had come was Yan Ruo, and this was the first time she had a friend visit her house.

She hurriedly pinned the hair clip on her head and went to open the door for Yan Ruo in her slippers.

Granny looked at Bai Lin’s flustered back and shook her head with a smile. She put the wool under the coffee table.

“Hello Granny, my name’s Yan Ruo. I am Xiao Lin’s… friend.” The moment Yan Ruo entered the room, he greeted Granny.

A clean and high-quality white shirt, straight suit pants, and dark brownish black hair—the corners of his clothes, his hair, every part of his body was clean and tidy.

One glance at him and he was the type that middle-aged women would like as their son-in-law and grandson-in-law.

She was also carrying a box of bird’s nest and a pastry gift box from a famous handmade pastry shop in City B.

“I’ve heard from Xiao Lin that you like old-fashioned pastries. This is a small gift.” Yan Ruo slightly bowed and passed the gift box to Granny.

Bai Lin did not expect Yan Ruo to bring a gift and was at a loss for what to do. After closing the door, she stood there like an outsider.

“Little darling, bring a pot of tea for our guest.” Bai Lin’s eyes lit up when she heard Granny’s request. She turned around and went to the kitchen to make tea.

However, she understood that Granny wanted to understand what kind of person Yan Ruo was.

Bai Lin was actually quite skilled in the kitchen. After all, she had been away for a long time and had learned a little about all kinds of things.

When she came out with tea, she saw Yan Ruo sitting on one end of the couch and Granny sitting on a separate sofa. On the coffee table were freshly opened pastries, and Granny was holding half a pastry in her hand and smiling happily.

Something flashed across Bai Lin’s mind.

Once, when she was out on a mission, she had hidden in the target’s house and watched a popular TV drama. The family got along happily and harmoniously just like this.

“Little darling, you sit over there.” Granny saw that Bai Lin wanted to sit beside her and immediately asked Bai Lin to sit on the couch with Yan Ruo.

Bai Lin had never rejected Granny, and this was not a strange request. However, she regretted it the moment she sat down.

Out of so many different smells like the fragrance of the tea, pastries, and flowers from the balcony… her nose was able to accurately identify the faint smell of lemon grass on Yan Ruo. She did not know if it was the scent of his perfume or laundry detergent.

From the moment Bai Lin walked over until she sat down, Yan Ruffs eyes were glued to her, never leaving her for even a moment.

Yan Ruo sat with his back straight, but the smile on his face was always modest and polite. Bai Lin suddenly felt a little curious.

Was his current appearance his original self? Or was it an act?

“Xiao Yan, what were we talking about just now?” Granny asked with a smile..
