Chapter 209: Having a Nightmare

Back at her aunt's house, He Jinnan helped his aunt to her room, and Xia Zhi helped her aunt remove her makeup, wash her face, and change her clothes. Once everything was sorted, her aunt quickly fell asleep with a loud snore.

Xia Zhi tiptoed out of the room, and He Jinnan took her to the dining room.

The large house, spanning a few hundred square meters, lacked a housekeeper and felt somewhat desolate with only her aunt living there alone.

"Why doesn't my aunt hire a maid?"

He Jinnan, opening the lids of the takeout boxes one by one, said, "She's usually very busy with work and often travels. She might be home for only half a month; having a maid wouldn't be very useful."

"At her age, why is she still working so hard?" Xia Zhi, taking the chopsticks handed to her, asked puzzled.

He Jinnan paused, "Who knows? Maybe it's love for her work."

"Stop asking and eat," he said as he served her some food.

Four dishes and a soup, plus a roasted duck.
