Love You Till the End-Chapter 999 - 998: Come to My Room Later, Let Me Check Your Injury

"Um... I wanted to ask," she approached the bodyguard and inquired, "Has Young Master Jue not returned yet?"

The bodyguard glanced at Su Jiuyi and then sternly replied, "No."

Not returned yet!?

If I had known, I would have stayed out a bit longer. Who knows when the next time I’ll go out will be.

She walked to the kitchen and put all the ingredients in the refrigerator. Most of the Shi Family’s food is kept in the cold storage, and only a small portion that needs to be used shortly is placed in the fridge.

She organized the ingredients she would use tomorrow and carefully recalled the steps for the desserts Ye Han had assigned her today.

"Back already?" A deep voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

Su Jiuyi was startled by the unexpected voice and hurriedly closed the refrigerator door, turning to face Shi Aoju.

His expression was completely different from the gloomy mood he had at noon, almost back to his usual calmness; it seemed he was no longer angry with her.

"Where did you go today?" He stepped closer to her, his gaze falling on the table behind her where there were ingredients she hadn’t had the chance to put into the fridge.

"I went to a friend’s dessert shop," she replied.

But she was very aware that, even if she didn’t answer, Shi Aoju would know where she had been. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Tomorrow, Song Zhike and Su Manning will also be going to the dinner," Shi Aoju shifted his gaze back to Su Jiuyi.

"Yeah, I know, I’ll prepare for them too," she meant the desserts.

"Better prepare a little less," Shi Aoju said seriously. "If it’s poisoned, we won’t be able to return."

"..." Su Jiuyi was speechless.

This man just loves to tease her; it’s like he feels uneasy if he doesn’t see her annoyed expression.

But hearing the teasing tone, he probably wasn’t angry anymore.

Indeed, he has no reason to be angry. Whatever she does or with whom she associates is none of his business; now that she’s back, the valuable clue she provides for solving cases won’t break, and his interests are secured, so of course, he has no reason to be upset.

"What are you thinking?" Shi Aoju noticed her lost-in-thought look and waved his hand in front of her to signal her to snap out of it.

"Nothing." Su Jiuyi pursed her lips and continued to move her ingredients into the refrigerator.

Shi Aoju gave her a suspicious look and said, "Come to my room later, I’ll take a look at your injury."

He meant Su Jiuyi’s foot.

Actually, Su Jiuyi’s foot was injured recently; she couldn’t do any heavy work and had limited mobility, but she didn’t dare to ask the Housekeeper for leave. In the end, she had to pitifully beg Shi Aoju for help.

Shi Aoju couldn’t resist her plea, so he personally spoke to the Housekeeper, asking to select a few maids dedicated to cleaning his room, not allowing them to participate in other tasks during this period.

Of course, he said this entirely according to Su Jiuyi’s wishes, because she didn’t want to become the number one gossip protagonist of the Shi Family.

During that time, her job was to clean and organize his study, although his study was usually very tidy, and he only spent time there when he returned home early at night.

This means during the day, Su Jiuyi could lie in her room and openly sleep in without worrying about the cleanliness of the common areas outside.
