Chapter 115 Going to Lin's House
Ye Wanqing noticed that although Lin Xuan had agreed, he was still reluctant to leave, so she pursed her lips slightly, with a barely perceptible softness in her tone: "Mr. Lin seems to be quite relaxed lately?"
Although this matter is important, it seems that there is no need for him to go there in person.
Lin Xuan's eyes flickered when he heard this, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I just went back to the company to deal with some matters. If you need a car this afternoon, just let me know."
"Don't bother. It's quite convenient for me to drive there myself." Ye Wanqing declined his kindness with a relaxed tone.
Lin Xuan looked at her again and nodded gently: "Okay."
This time, he really didn't stay any longer, but turned around and walked away.
Ye Wanqing did not see him off downstairs as the cold wind outside made her feel a little chilly.
After being disturbed by Xu Shao, she felt uneasy and unable to concentrate after returning to the study.
Forget it, I won’t write today. I have to go to the Lin family in the afternoon anyway.
Thinking of this, Ye Wanqing turned and walked towards the kitchen, planning to make some osmanthus cake to change her mood.
Mrs. Lin has always loved sweets, but as she is old, she should not eat too much, so the housekeeper always carefully controls her sugar intake.
When making desserts, Ye Wanqing always reduces the amount of sugar, so the desserts she makes are sweet but not greasy. Even if they are not served with tea, they do not feel overly sweet at all.
She hadn't made desserts for a long time. Today, on a whim, she made some more and specially left a portion for Qin Zhuyu.
Time passed quietly, and more than two hours had passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Wanqing simply prepared lunch. By two o'clock in the afternoon, she had carefully packed the osmanthus cake and prepared one to take to the Lin family.
Before leaving, Ye Wanqing made a special call to the Lin family's old house.
The call was answered by the housekeeper. Lin Xuan had already informed Ye Wanqing in the morning that she would come to give Mrs. Lin a massage in the afternoon.
Mrs. Lin would take a nap at one o'clock every afternoon, wake up around two o'clock, drink some tea at three o'clock, and then take a walk in the garden with the housekeeper.
When Ye Wanqing arrived, the time was exactly 2:45.
More than a year later, she stepped into the Lin family's old house again. Looking at this familiar yet slightly unfamiliar environment, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
When the housekeeper saw the osmanthus cake in her hand, a smile suddenly broke out on his face: "Miss Ye made desserts again?"
Ye Wanqing collected her thoughts and responded with a smile, "I had some free time today, so I did some."
She handed the osmanthus cake to the housekeeper and asked with concern, "Housekeeper, has Mrs. Lin been sleeping better recently?"
The housekeeper took the dessert and sighed softly, "You know, Mrs. Lin always has trouble falling asleep at night. In the past, you gave her a massage every day, and she could sleep soundly until six o'clock. Since you left, Mrs. Lin often wakes up in the middle of the night."
After Mrs. Lin woke up, she sat quietly on the bed without calling the housekeeper. Sometimes when the housekeeper got up at night, he would find that the light in the room was on.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing lowered her eyelids slightly, a look of worry appearing on her face: "After waking up at night, will it be difficult for Mrs. Lin to fall asleep again?"
"Yes, Mrs. Lin woke up at around two o'clock and couldn't fall asleep again. She could only wait until dawn. She was completely exhausted the next day." The housekeeper's words were filled with helplessness and heartache.
As the two were talking, Mrs. Lin appeared in Ye Wanqing's sight. She couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart, which was a deep concern and respect for Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin was wearing a dark green wool sweater, her hair was carefully tied into an elegant bun, and her face, although a little tired, still had a certain determination.
The moment she saw Ye Wanqing, a gleam of light flashed in Mrs. Lin's eyes, but she quickly returned to her usual calmness.
The housekeeper walked respectfully to Mrs. Lin and said softly, "Mrs. Lin, look, this is the dessert that Miss Ye prepared specially for you."
Mrs. Lin just glanced at her calmly, her tone revealing a hint of indifference: "You are thoughtful."
Ye Wanqing was already well aware of Mrs. Lin's character, and she did not feel uncomfortable at all in the face of her coldness.
She looked at Mrs. Lin, a gentle smile on her lips: "Mrs. Lin, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Yes, it has been a long time." Mrs. Lin responded and turned her gaze to the housekeeper, "Make Miss Ye a cup of her favorite tea."
"Okay, I'll prepare it right away." The butler responded and left.
Mrs. Lin always liked quietness. Although there were many servants in the villa, only the housekeeper and the aunt in charge of cooking were busy at the moment. Everyone else was at their respective posts. While the housekeeper was making tea, only Ye Wanqing and Mrs. Lin were left in the living room.
"Please sit down." Mrs. Lin pointed to the sofa opposite, with a barely perceptible softness in her tone.
Ye Wanqing nodded and sat down gracefully on the sofa.
Mrs. Lin looked at her and said slowly: "You don't have to run around for me. I've lived enough and I don't care about life and death anymore."
"I don't feel busy." Ye Wanqing responded simply, which was both an answer to Mrs. Lin and a silent comfort to her. She knew that although Mrs. Lin was old, she was very tough at heart and didn't like to listen to people nagging her about big principles.
Mrs. Lin snorted softly: "Now you have also learned to say these polite words."
At this time, the housekeeper came over with brewed tea. The fragrance of tea filled the air, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet living room.
Ye Wanqing took a sip of tea and took the initiative to bring up the matter of massage. Although Mrs. Lin was a little reluctant, she slowly stood up and walked towards the room.
Ye Wanqing washed her hands, sat on the massage chair specially prepared by the housekeeper, and began to massage Mrs. Lin.
"Mrs. Lin, I'll go heat up the dessert Miss Ye brought. You can try it later." The housekeeper said as he got busy.
Mrs. Lin, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, curled up the corner of her mouth into a barely perceptible smile: "You make me sound like a greedy person."
The housekeeper smiled and looked at Ye Wanqing, then said softly, "I'll go out first, Miss Ye, call me anytime if you need anything."
"Okay." Ye Wanqing responded softly. When she looked at Mrs. Lin again, she found that she had opened her eyes and was looking at her quietly.
"Mrs. Lin?" Ye Wanqing asked softly.
Mrs. Lin closed her eyes again and did not answer. Ye Wanqing smiled softly and continued to massage Mrs. Lin attentively.
The massage lasted an hour. The housekeeper calculated the time and heated up the dessert. She arranged for the aunt to bring out the dessert later and then went into Mrs. Lin's room.
As soon as the housekeeper left, Lin Yanrong sauntered down the stairs. She had an audition today and, to maintain her figure, hadn't eaten much all day. Returning to the Lins' house, she was starving when she was drawn to the alluring aromas emanating from the kitchen.
She went straight into the kitchen and asked her aunt to fill a plate of dessert for her. Without giving it much thought, her aunt filled some for her. Lin Yanrong carried the plate and ate heartily as she walked into the living room.
These desserts not only looked exquisite and attractive, but also tasted incredibly delicious. Lin Yanrong ate several pieces in a row and still felt unsatisfied.
She walked over to her aunt with a plate and said, "Auntie, these desserts are so delicious! They melt in your mouth, and they're sweet but not greasy! I want some more!"
As soon as Lin Yanrong finished speaking, she heard the housekeeper say, "This is the dessert that Miss Ye specially prepared for Mrs. Lin. It is indeed delicious."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanrong turned around suddenly and saw Ye Wanqing and Mrs. Lin slowly coming down from the upstairs.
She suddenly became emotional: "Why is Ye Wanqing here?"
