Chapter 460: Chapter 460: His Rejection is Getting More and More Severe
“`
I can’t remember clearly how long it had been since Ding Yinuo had been this intimate with me.
Ever since he had been with Jiang Jiaying, my rejection of him had grown more and more intense.
There was no possibility of the two of us even standing together anymore.
Moreover, at that time, he seemed to be very reluctant to be together as well.
But at this moment, he stood by my side, wrapping his arm around my shoulder, appearing like a very considerate and loving husband.
“Uh, it’s nothing…”
I had originally planned on keeping the peace.
I hadn’t expected this Afang to go even further, her scolding of the cat getting even louder.
“What, you have a man? If you have a man, just stay properly with your own man, don’t shamelessly seduce someone else’s husband… Disgusting and shameless, lowly.”
This was another barrage of insults, and even though not a single word mentioned me, it was all about me.
I had no idea how to argue with such a vile woman.
At this moment, Ding Yinuo seemed to catch the hidden meaning in her words, and he asked her a question.
“What are you doing?”
Afang turned her head and glanced at Ding Yinuo,
“I’m scolding a cat! That wild cat is too flirty, sneaking around behind its husband’s back, the husband has been cuckolded big time.”
Ding Yinuo’s expression turned cold.
However, since she wasn’t a servant of his own household, it seemed Ding Yinuo couldn’t discipliner her on the spot.
Plus, it was his first visit here, and he didn’t want to make the host lose face.
Just then, Lin Nansheng came out and he asked,
“What’s wrong?”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Ding Yinuo slowly turned around, smiling and said,
“This servant seems quite unique.”
Lin Nansheng glanced at Afang,
“Her? She’s the oldest servant in our household, now the housekeeper. She’s… been with my wife for many years when she was young, and now that Anqi is pregnant, my wife sent her here specifically to care for Anqi.”
At this point, I suddenly understood seven or eight parts of the situation. It turned out she had been sent by Lin Nansheng’s current wife and was even a housekeeper, no wonder she was so brazen.
Ding Yinuo nodded with a smile,
“That’s good… Oh, I seem to be a bit hungry, could you please prepare a fruit platter for me? I would like slices of watermelon and strawberries, my wife doesn’t like to spit out seeds, so please pick them all out cleanly. Also, my wife likes pomegranate juice, could you go squeeze a glass for her right now? Oh, and she does not like the bitter taste of seeds in her juice, so maybe don’t use a juicer… Thank you for your trouble.”
What seemed like a simple task was actually very complex, especially picking out the seeds which would be both time-consuming and tedious.
The housekeeper’s face darkened upon hearing this, and she wanted to refuse on the spot.
“Mr. Ding, I don’t have time right now…”
Ding Yinuo said with a smile to Lin Nansheng,
“Uncle Lin, Xiaoyun is here and even having difficulty getting a glass of juice. I think, I might as well take her back to the Ding Family.”
Lin Nansheng then instructed,
“Don’t treat Xiaoyun like a guest, she will be the mistress of this house in the future, just like Anqi. Do as she asks now, and do it quickly.”
Afang’s expression was very ugly; her face twisted uncomfortably, she was very conflicted as she looked at me, not wanting to move from where she stood.
To her, preparing such delicate food for a common person like me must have felt like an insult.
“Sir, Miss Anqi will need…”
“Shut up, when you’re told to do something, just go do it. If you can’t handle it, pack your things and leave tomorrow.”
Lin Nansheng was not so polite to a servant, issuing a strict order.
Though Afang was reluctant, she dared not resist and obediently went to do as she was told.
I must admit, Ding Yinuo’s move was exactly to my liking.
Turning back, I couldn’t help but take another look at Ding Yinuo.
For the next hour.
“`
Afang stayed in the kitchen without coming out, busily taking care of tasks like seeding and juicing.
An hour and a half later, she finally came out carrying the pomegranate juice, just when Ding Yinuo was sitting with me on the sofa.
The two of us didn’t engage in conversation but just sat in silence.
With a face full of embarrassment, Afang brought the pomegranate juice over to me, her eyes still revealing a bit of reluctance.
Even as she set the cup down, she intentionally gave it a push.
The red pomegranate juice splashed onto the table and dripped onto my feet.
I stepped back, and Ding Yinuo hurriedly took a tissue to wipe it off for me.
“Ah, I’m so sorry!”
Afang said with an indifferent tone.
But her face was full of schadenfreude, clearly mocking me—where was there even a hint of apology?
Ding Yinuo noticed this, and his face immediately darkened. He picked up the cup of pomegranate juice and dumped it straight into the bin, then dumped the fruit plate as well.
“Hey, Mr. Ding, what are you doing?”
“My wife doesn’t like this. Make another one, and remember to be quick. Otherwise, if it goes off, no one will eat it.”
“You!!!”
Afang’s cheeks flushed with anger, but she dared not utter any complaints and could only turn around to make another one.
In fact, not much juice had splashed on my feet, and the tissue wiped it off easily.
But her attitude was truly repugnant.
So she made it again.
This time after she had remade it and brought it over, she no longer dared to be as arrogant and unrestrained as before.
Her demeanor was extremely respectful.
However, Ding Yinuo still did not drink it and once again poured the pomegranate juice into the bin.
Afang’s face became terribly ugly,
“Mr. Ding, what do you mean by this? Is there a problem with the juice this time?”
Ding Yinuo smiled indifferently.
“Whether there’s a problem with the juice is not important. Your job is just to make the juice. Whether we drink it or not depends on our mood, and it’s none of your concern.”
With that, Afang had nothing to retort.
Though no harsh words were spoken, it was still enough to severely strike at Afang.
She probably wouldn’t dare deliberately cause trouble for me anymore.
Later on, Lin Anqi slowly came downstairs.
Right in time for the dinner to begin.
Although there weren’t many people, the dishes prepared were quite lavish.
It was evident that Uncle Lin placed great importance on his son-in-law Ding Yinuo, as he kept serving dishes to him and also toasted him.
“Young man, I find you quite promising, with good qualifications. I’m entrusting the second half of my daughter’s life to you; you must treat her well.”
“Of course!”
Ding Yinuo agreed briskly.
To my surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, a cold snort followed.
Then, a mocking voice rang out,
“The mouth of a man is a deceitful ghost; now it may sound pleasant, but when it comes time to change hearts, it happens alarmingly fast!”
I glanced over and saw it was Gu Yuanzhou.
He seemed to need to confront Ding Yinuo at every turn, as if not doing so would leave him extremely uncomfortable.
Just then, Lin Anqi walked in from the hall, smiling at Gu Yuanzhou, “What are you discussing? It seems quite lively.”
I said nonchalantly, “This gentleman said, ‘The mouth of a man is a deceitful ghost.’… I’m wondering if he often breaks his promises, which is why he came up with this bit of wisdom?”
