Chapter 1796: Well Managed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If her ex-husband knew that she would have a relationship with the chief after she became a nanny, she didn’t know what her ex-husband’s expression would be like. She had a feeling that her ex-husband would regret it sooner or later for divorcing her and choosing to marry a popular netizen instead!

“That’s good.” Xiao Xu could rest assured after knowing that the nanny was willing to abide by the rules. Seeing that this nanny was quick and nimble in her chores, Xiao Xu hesitated for a long time before deciding if he should hire her. He wanted to hire her as he had seen her work, and she was quick and nimble indeed. She was highly efficient, and the food she made was delicious. However, he hesitated because this nanny was a little young, only in her thirties. Furthermore, she had just gotten a divorce.

Upon thinking that the chief was nearing forty-five years old and was similarly single, Xiao Xu couldn’t help but worry that the nanny might have other thoughts about the chief after understanding his situation. The chief was annoyed about this the most. If he failed to do this well and left a bad impression on the chief, he might lose more than gain.

Thankfully, until now, Xiao Xu didn’t feel any strange emotions from the nanny. “Oh, right. Don’t call me sir in the future. I’m not any sir. At most, I’m just a little soldier taking care of the chief. I’m surnamed Xu. You can call me Xiao Xu. Sister Zhao, you’re a few years older than me. You don’t mind me calling you sister, right?”

“I don’t mind.” Sister Zhao didn’t mind being addressed as sister. “It’s my blessing if you are willing to call me sister.” One look at this soldier and she knew he was young. It was just that she was hired to work. If the other party didn’t say anything, how would she dare to be so bold and be his sister?

“Okay. These are the things you should pay attention to. After seeing the chief, you don’t have to be worried. The chief doesn’t like to talk or smile, but he isn’t bad-tempered. He doesn’t have the habit of shouting at others. You can just relax.”

Upon thinking of Zhai Sheng’s cold face, Xiao Xu hurriedly gave the both of them a heads-up so that they wouldn’t be shocked. However, he didn’t know how the auntie his mother had found two days ago was interacting with the chief in the two days he had left. He didn’t have any other thoughts. He only hoped that the chief didn’t go hungry for the past two days.

“Chief, I’m back.” Upon seeing that Zhai Sheng wasn’t in the study room reading but was in the courtyard, basking in the sun, Xiao Xu was a little surprised. “You’re basking in the sun? That’s good. Isn’t that so, Doctor Wang?”

“Yes, basking in the sun helps increase calcium as well.” Doctor Wang responded. He first observed Zhai Sheng and realized that his condition wasn’t as worrying as what Xiao Xu had said it to be. That radiant look obviously showed that the chief was in a good mood recuperating here.

After getting an affirmative answer, Xiao Xu ran to Zhai Sheng. “Chief, are you hungry? Sister Zhao, whom I’ve hired this time, is very good at cooking. Do you want to try?” He planned to make it up to the chief today for all that he had not eaten previously.

“There’s no hurry. Next time.” Zhai Sheng, who had just eaten, didn’t have the stomach to even taste any food, let alone eat a little.

In the face of dishes that didn’t suit his palate before, even if they didn’t taste good, Zhai Sheng would still eat a little so that he wouldn’t go hungry. As a soldier, what kind of hardship had he not experienced before? It was nothing to eat food that he didn’t like. At times when circumstances became difficult, they had to eat food that ordinary people wouldn’t even eat, let alone something that they didn’t like to eat.

Similarly, in the face of the dishes that he liked, Zhai Sheng didn’t have the habit of overeating. It was rare for him to finally eat normal meals for two days. Zhai Sheng really looked better after Xiao Xu left.

“Oh, okay.” Xiao Xu carefully sized up Zhai Sheng’s mood and looks. He realized that Zhai Sheng’s mental condition was better than before he left, even though his stiff eyebrows showed that he was still as indifferent as before, looking emotionless. However, after staying by his side for a long time, Xiao Xu could faintly feel that Zhai Sheng’s mood was pretty good now. “Chief, what did you eat in the afternoon? Was it nice?”

“Sweet and sour fish.” As a man, Zhai Sheng didn’t like sweet stuff. On the first day, even if he didn’t say anything to Qiao Nan and wasn’t having high hopes for her, he didn’t expect the dishes Qiao Nan made to look homely but taste good.

As such, on the second day when Qiao Nan asked Zhai Sheng what he would like to eat, Zhai Sheng just asked Qiao Nan to make the arrangement for him. It was too late for Zhai Sheng to regret after Qiao Nan killed the fish and said that she was preparing sweet and sour fish.

Not being picky didn’t mean that he didn’t have any food he disliked. All along, Zhai Sheng didn’t like sweet stuff and fish. Sweet and sour fish fulfilled both dislikes.

Qiao Nan wasn’t one to waste food. After taking over, she didn’t prepare too many dishes for Zhai Sheng in a day. It was fine as long as there were a meat or fish dish and a vegetable dish every day. As such, Qiao Nan only prepared a single fish dish of sweet and sour fish.

Qiao Nan said that since Zhai Sheng could eat a few bowls of rice, he could finish off the sweet and sour fish easily. As for dinner, it certainly would be freshly cooked. That way, it would taste better, fresher, and healthier.

“S-Sweet and sour fish?” Xiao Xu exclaimed in his heart when he heard those words. He had left in a hurry yesterday and didn’t tell that auntie what the chief’s taboos were. “Chief, are you hungry? It’s fine. Your body is the most important. I think Auntie Qiao wouldn’t mind. You can treat it as snack time.”

Of course, Zhai Sheng understood what Xiao Xu meant. When he heard that he was having sweet and sour fish for lunch, his thoughts were initially the same as Xiao Xu. What he didn’t expect was that after taking a bite to test the taste, he realized that it wasn’t bad. It wasn’t too sweet, and it tasted smooth and fresh.

Zhai Sheng couldn’t describe that complicated feeling. However, he knew that he didn’t hate the taste of sweet and sour fish. On the contrary, he accepted it pretty well.

In the end, Zhai Sheng ate three bowls of rice. Indeed, he had finished off a one-kilogram fish alone. Of course, when Qiao Nan was buying the fish, she had already considered Zhai Sheng’s intake volume. As to why Qiao Nan could calculate it so accurately, she felt a little depressed as well. Since when an ordinary thing like dreaming became so unsafe?

Even if it was highly possible that she had inadvertently watched the news and thus had a deep impression on the Zhai family’s house, why was it that Zhai Sheng’s appetite and preference were similar to those in her dream as well?
