There is always a system that doesn't want to let me go

Chapter 485 Life Choice 16

Wang Gu was the servant of the original owner's father, Yan Mingyuan. If he didn't follow Yan Mingyuan, what was he doing here in the garden?

The problem is, he is still walking freely in the Hou Mansion alone, with the same natural and casual attitude as in the Yan family.

Chitose frowned, got up and walked over there.

Looking from the direction Wang Gu left just now, there was only one place he could go.

As a result, as soon as Chitose came out of the corner, he was blocked by a little girl.

"Sister Yan, do you still have this little pastry?"

Chitose lowered her head and looked at the little girl who only reached her knees and had two small bags on her head.

Her voice was small, as if she was afraid of being heard.

At this time, the little girl had a half-clenched fist, and in her palm was a golden ingot-sized pastry. The pastry was soft and fluffy, and there were two symmetrical red dots on it. It looked very appetizing.

This is a kind of pastry rolled with meat floss. The original owner had eaten it and it was quite delicious.

She calls herself Sister Yan. Does she know the original owner?

But Chitose scanned the memory of the original owner and found no impression of this little girl.

The little girl looked up at her, as if because she didn't get a response, nervousness flashed in her eyes, and the hand holding the pastry shrank back.

Chitose glanced at the direction where Wang Gu disappeared and gave up looking for the person.

Chitose: "I'll take you there."

The little girl's eyes lit up, and joy appeared on her baby-fat face, "Okay, okay."

Chitose's heart moved when she heard the little girl's excited voice.

The well-behaved children are so adorable.

Chitose reached out and poked her cheek, and the touch felt like touching Baiyun.

Seeing doubt flashing in the little girl's eyes, Chitose took back her hand without changing her expression, "Do you need me to hold you?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately handed her left hand, which was not holding the pastry, to Chitose and said softly:

"Lead."

After the little girl finished speaking, she stuffed the little ingot into her mouth with a groan, and her cheeks bulged.

Chitose has been watching from the side, so she naturally knows where the pastries are.

The little girl watched Chitose go to the place where the pastries were placed, and whispered to Chitose's legs:

"I've looked over there and it's gone."

Chitose:……

Apparently, the little girl was looking around the garden.

Chitose: "Sister, I will take you to ask."

After all, the original owner is also a member of the Yan family, so it's okay to ask the servants for some cakes.

The little girl nodded obediently and kept saying 'hmm'.

Chitose went to the maid who was waiting in the garden and asked her where the cakes were.

The maid looked at Chitose and gave a stiff smile, "To answer the Fourth Miss, the cakes were brought from the dining room. What kind of cakes does the Fourth Miss want? Can I get them for you?"

Chitose: "No, just wait here, I'll go by myself."

After Chitose finished speaking, he took the little girl and left.

When Chitose got the pastry and returned to the garden, the little girl was already holding the plate and couldn't wait to stuff the pastry into her mouth. While eating, she didn't forget to give Chitose some advice:

"Actually, it's okay for you to put me in this pastry shop."

Chitose laughed when he heard this, "We have dinner later, so you can't eat too many pastries."

The little girl's eyes turned strangely.

"My sister is so young, but she speaks the same words as my mother."

Chitose:……

Does this mean that she is old or that she wants to recognize her mother?

But the little girl was still stretching out her sinful little paws towards the pastries on the plate, as if she just said it casually.

The little girl grabbed the pastry and lowered her head to bite it one by one. Her cheeks were bulging.

Seeing this made Chitose groan in her heart and wanted to pinch her little face.

However, Chitose still held back.

"Let's go, you can't eat these after you eat them."

The little girl's round little face immediately wrinkled into a ball, and she muttered in confusion:

"Didn't you say you can eat whatever you want at the banquet? My brother is wrong."

Is this someone here specifically to eat?

Chitose glanced at her twice, but the little girl looked at her doubtfully.

Little girl: "Sister, are you reluctant to part with your pastries? I'll give you some money to buy them, okay?"

Chitose twitched her lips, and she wanted to ask:

Who taught this little girl?!

Even if you mention buying pastries at other people's banquets, it's a slap in the face.

Chitose watched the little girl go through her little pocket to get some broken silver, and couldn't help but shake her head.

Chitose: "It's not that my sister is reluctant to part with cakes. Children won't grow taller if they only eat cakes. We can eat cakes after dinner, right?"

"I don't have to grow taller."

Chitose: "...If you don't grow taller, you won't be able to eat pastries as well as others. Look at that big brother, does he eat one cake at a time?"

Chitose pointed not far away, where a boy slightly older than the little girl was picking up a small pastry and stuffing it into his mouth when no one was paying attention, and then walked away from the fruit plate as if nothing had happened.

One bite of a small pastry.

Chitose: "Big brother can take one bite at a time, but you have to bite slowly. You can't eat others."

The little girl's eyes widened. After a while, the little girl said:

"Then I'll eat one first and then eat after dinner."

Perhaps because she knew that she shouldn't indulge in eating cakes when going to dinner, the little girl cherished them very much and ate them in small bites.

Chitose took the little girl and was about to find a place to sit when she heard Yan Jinling's roar.

"Thank you Xinxin!"

At first, Chitose just looked at Yan Jinling curiously, wondering who made this young lady so angry.

But as soon as Chitose turned her head, she saw Yan Jinling rushing towards her direction with the little ancestor of the Xie family in her arms.

Yan Jinling rushed forward and roared:

"Did I tell you that you are not allowed to eat cakes from the garden? Why are you disobedient?"

"No wonder no one likes you, look at what you are like now."

Chitose:……

Seeing Yan Jinling's eyes fall on her feet, Chitose lowered her head and looked at the little girl next to her.

The little girl was shrinking her neck, clutching the plate tightly and hiding behind Chitose with a look of fear on her face.

Seeing this, Chitose frowned slightly when she turned to look at Yan Jinling and said speechlessly:

"Pastry is meant for guests, why can't she eat it? She is a guest, and as the host, you are also the eldest lady of Zhongyong Hou Mansion, don't be so stingy."

She would ridicule anyone who ate some cakes at other people's banquets. Those who didn't know better thought that the Marquis Mansion couldn't even provide cakes.

Chitose once again wondered how the Hou family raised this concubine. There must be too many things to criticize.

However, she said it so bluntly, and Yan Jinling's face showed disdain.

Chitose didn't know what was wrong with her, but she continued without waiting for Yan Jinling to speak:

"In public, it's better for you to be more gentle, so as not to make people who don't know better think that the Marquis Mansion is so poor that it can't bear to give up even a cake."
