Chapter 52: MORE THAN ENOUGH (PART 8)

The next day, Xue Lin woke up early and realized that it wasn't time for breakfast. She turned on her laptop and studied criminal psychology. She studied a few cases before writing the thesis. She had lots to write. She covered her ears with earphones and turned on relaxing music; it helped her to concentrate and think.

For that reason, when the maids knocked on the door, Xue Lin didn't hear a thing. They thought that she was sleeping and so they didn't disturb her.

Ge Chen came back from Louis's place after lunch. After sleeping in the same room with his wife, he got up earlier than her and sneaked out. His wife didn't notice anything. He finished some of his work and went to Louis's workshop to check the progress of the cars. After coming home, he asked the Head Butler about Xue Lin.

The Head Butler hesitantly asked, "Young Master, Young Mistress hasn't woken up yet."

Ge Chen paused. "Are you sure?"

The Head Butler replied, "Yes, we went to call her multiple times but she didn't respond."

Ge Chen frowned and pondered, 'Before I left, I checked on her and she was fine. She can't be sick, can she?' He quickened his pace and went to his room. He knocked on the door three times and heard no response. He called her and she answered almost immediately, "Hello?"

Ge Chen calmly said, "Lin, open the door." He could open the door if he wanted but he. wanted to check if she was awake or not. If she saw that he opened the door without a sweat, he would be in trouble.

After Xue Lin opened the door, Ge Chen asked, "When did you wake up?"

Xue Lin already forgot that she was mad at him last night. She answered, "At seven thirty. Why do you ask?"

Ge Chen said, "You woke up early! Then why didn't you go downstairs to have breakfast or lunch? The maids knocked on the door multiple times."

"Lunch!" Xue Lin checked the time and she was stunned. She didn't think it would be this late. "I had no idea."

Ge Chen quietly observed the room. Seeing the earphone beside the laptop he didn't need an extra brain why she couldn't hear anything. He asked in a concerned tone, "Aren't you hungry?"

Xue Lin blinked and replied, "No, I don't feel anything-"

Growl~

Xue Lin looked down at her stomach. "Now I realized that I'm hungry."

Ge Chen didn't know what to say. He sighed softly and told her, "Stay here, I'll tell the maids to bring you a meal here."

Xue Lin shook her head. "No, it's fine, I'll go to the dining room now. I just need to save the data." She turned off her laptop and went downstairs. Hearing the commotion outside, she glanced at the entrance and then walked toward the dining room. She had no interest in what was going on outside.

The chef and a few kitchen maids were talking in the dining room. After watching her enter, they quickly bought. Xue Lin closed her eyes. She didn't want to see people bowing to her. She felt uncomfortable. She asked, "Is there anything to it?"

A maid excitedly said, "Yes, there is!"

Another maid said, "We will serve you soon, Young Mistress. Please sit down."

The whole mansion knew about her great appetite. She even thanked the chef the other day and the chef was on the verge of tears. He had never been this happy after he started working here. He knew that he was hired because of was the top chef but no one came to him and explicitly thanked him for his wonderful cooking. Afterward, he asked her what she liked to eat.

Xue Lin's reply was, "I like anything as long as they are delicious."

After that, the chef put all of his heart and soul into cooking. Every day, he created high-class food and Xue Lin praised him every time. She was happy that she chose him to tag along with them.

After filling her stomach, Xue Lin went out of the dining room and faced an old woman. She was wearing high-quality traditional clothes and her expression was stern. However, it didn't hide her beauty.

They looked at each other for a moment before Xue Lin gave her a polite nod and walked past her.

The woman was stunned. Though the young girl gave her a polite nod, no one ever treated her like that. She turned around to call her but Xue Lin was nowhere to be seen.

The woman called out the nearby maid. "This girl just now, who is she?"

The maid politely answered, "She is the Young Mistress to whom the Young Master is married to."

The old woman was astonished. "Such a young girl! How can my grandson marry a weak, little girl? Has he no shame?"

Ge Chen freshened up and came downstairs. He heard his grandmother's complaint. "There is nothing to be shamed off. She is only three years younger than me."

"Xiao Chen!" Grandmother exclaimed. "Is that so? But she looks like she is fifteen years old."

Ge Chen said, "Please don't judge a book by its cover. She has already completed her Ph.D. from Germany and she is a professional Psychiatrist under the Mu Corporation." When he spoke, he couldn't hide his pride. Xue Lin was his pride.

Grandmother Gu Xiali's eyes widened in surprise. "Mu Corporation! She is very accomplished. But why didn't she greet me?" She felt it was weird.

Ge Chen calmly answered, "Because she doesn't know you and she doesn't like talking to strangers. Don't feel sad. I had seen her worst. She didn't want to know my name until she agreed to marry me." Who would be more pitiful than him?

Gu Xiali asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong with her head?"

"If she had, she wouldn't be certified to be a Psychiatrist." Ge Chen's reply was logical.

Gu Xiali nodded. "That's also true. I'm very tired. I'll take a nap. In the evening, I want to talk to her."

"Sure." Ge Chen agreed. He is also waiting for them to talk.
