Chapter 18: Stomach Churning

Shi Caining bit her thin lips and was about to say something, but Mo Xiao had already coldly turned around and returned to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Not a word.

The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.

She would not be curious whether her daughter was leaving or going on a trip, and she really did not care in the slightest.

Shi Caining lowered her head and carried her small suitcase as she slowly walked out. The sky outside was gloomy, and the alley still gave off an unpleasant smell.

Her heart felt as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock. It was very painful and heavy. Unknowingly, her eyes had already turned red.

When she came to the Seaside Villa, Shi Caining took a deep breath and adjusted her mood to the best state before ringing the doorbell.

Nanny Jiang came out and opened the door. When she saw Shi Caining, she smiled like a flower again.

"Today, young master is at home and the old madam has gone on a trip overseas. You can make some light porridge. Young master's taste is more picky," Nanny Jiang said with a smile.

Shi Caining was startled. She did not expect that there would be the old madam's son in this villa?

Seeing Shi Caining's confusion, Nanny Jiang smiled and said, "That's our young master, the old madam's grandson. He lives with the old madam. He... Doesn't have a very good appetite. I don't know if your culinary skills will suit him, but it doesn't matter. Because the old madam invited you back, so don't worry."

Shi Caining nodded. "Alright."

The villa was really big. Nanny Jiang brought her to the first room on the second floor. Although it was a guest room, it was still a suite. It was even bigger than the main hall of the Shi family.

After Shi Caining put down her luggage, she hurriedly went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

She heard that the young master of this family was picky and didn't like to eat, so Shi Caining thought about how to make breakfast which he liked to eat.

Nanny Jiang also gave her very little information, and her young master didn't like to eat much. After Shi Caining was troubled for a while, she finally decided to make dried scallop seafood porridge.

Forty minutes later, the fragrant seafood porridge was ready.

"Caining, young master has come down. I'll take the porridge out!" Nanny Jiang just happened to walk in with a smile.

Shi Caining nodded and scooped a bowl of porridge for Nanny Jiang. Then, she followed her out of the kitchen.

A man dressed in black casual clothes sat lazily at the dining table. He slightly raised his chin and his obsidian-like eyes swept towards Shi Caining.

Shi Caining raised her head and met those bloodshot eyes. She was shocked and could not help but take two steps back.

"Mr... Mr. Gu!"

Gu Kuangen!

How... How could he be the young master of this family?

Heavens, what did she do?

"Shi Caining?" Gu Kuangen slightly furrowed his brows and a wicked smile appeared on his lips. "Looks like you really worked hard for me. I can't believe grandma's new cook is actually you!"

Shi Caining's face was red with anger. She did not believe that Gu Kuangen did not know. He must have intentionally set her up to become a cook here.

"Mr. Gu... I didn't..." Shi Caining stubbornly raised her head and pursed her lips. She had never been a scheming person. Before this, she had never known that Gu Kuangen lived here.

"Young master, she's the new cook, Miss Shi Caining. Why don't you try her breakfast?" Nanny Jiang looked at Gu Kuangen with concern, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Gu Kuangen's expression was not very good. Nanny Jiang had been taking care of his grandmother for twenty years and treated him as her own grandson. Of course, he also treated Nanny Jiang with great respect.

However... When he saw the food, his stomach began to churn.
