In the early morning at the Xia residence, Xia Xiao Nian, wearing a tender yellow dress, was bustling happily in the kitchen like a lively skylark.
In her hand was a frying pan filled with sunny-side-up eggs and bacon fried just right. When she put the breakfast on a snow-white plate, the toaster chimed with a "ding," ejecting fragrant, burnt-yellow toast.
Looking contently at her masterpiece, thinking about how her adoptive parents could enjoy a meal made by her, she felt a great sense of delight.
However, a glamorous and sexy woman in a pink lace nightgown came into the kitchen, looking displeasingly at the busy Xia Xiao Nian.
Xia Xiao Nian saw the woman, her face lost its happy expression. She shyly said, “Sister Ya, I've made breakfast. Please have some.”
"Don't call me sister, I don't have a sister like you. You should understand your status." Xia Xiao Ya eyed the breakfast Xia Xiao Nian had prepared, her eyes full of criticism. "Is this even edible? Haotian was here last night and he's still busy in the study. I need to make something delicious for him. Your food..." Xia Xiao Ya sneered, "seems fit for a trash can!"
Xia Xiao Nian bowed her head, nervously twisting her delicate fingers. Seeing her, Xia Xiao Ya became even angrier. "Who are you trying to gain pity from by acting like a victim? It's as if I've done something wrong to you. It's irritating.”
Xia Xiao Nian silently moved to one side, trying her best to make herself invisible, fearing that Xia Xiao Ya would pick on her again.
But things didn't go as she wished. Xia Xiao Ya gave Xiao Nian a sidelong glance, "What are you standing here for? Do I need to be watched by you in my own kitchen?”
Xia Xiao Nian quickly shook her head, intending to leave the kitchen. Just as she had taken a few steps, she was stopped by Xia Xiao Ya, "Don't think of escaping to laze around. Haotian must be hungry. You should serve this milk to him to warm his stomach until I prepare a proper breakfast."
Xia Xiao Nian didn't dare to resist, she hurriedly picked up the tray and headed to the study room on the second floor of the villa.
Lin Hao Tian was leaning on the desk in the study room, reading a document. He was already a handsome man. The morning light coming from the window, cast on him, added an extra glow, making him even more dazzling.
This was the scene that greeted Xia Xiao Nian as she entered. Her heart beat even faster. She thought that the heavens were indeed bias towards this man, but she didn’t let herself think more about it, because Lin Hao Tian was Xia Xiao Ya’s boyfriend.
Lin Hao Tian was a bit surprised when he saw Xia Xiao Nian. In his impressions, she was a timid girl who always hid herself in dark corners. Whenever Xia Xiao Ya mentioned her, the expressions were always of contempt. Thus, he never took Xia Xiao Nian seriously.
Nevertheless, seeing her holding the glass of milk, he figured it was for him. Feeling a bit thirsty, he casually picked it up and drank it.
Xia Xiao Nian initially thought to leave after giving Lin Hao Tian the milk. However, as she turned to go, her dress rustled a gust of wind, causing the documents on Lin HaoTian’s chair to fall on the floor resulting in a mess.
In a state of panic, Xia Xiao Nian squatted down to rearrange the documents. However, the overly professional information made it hard for her to put them in order. After struggling for some time with no avail, she could only raise her gaze towards Lin Hao Tian for help. However, she instead became lost in his mesmerizing gaze.
