The voluptuous and beautiful nanny, Technician Shen fell for her.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Su Nianhe quietly climbed out of the hard bed.

She braided her hair and went into the kitchen.

The fire in the stove had just been lit, but the water in the pot hadn't boiled yet.

Steady footsteps echoed down the stairs.

Shen Huai got up very early today. Instead of wearing his usual white shirt, he changed into a crisp light gray work uniform and carried a briefcase.

He walked to the kitchen doorway and stopped.

Su Nianhe was chopping pickled vegetables with a kitchen knife when she heard the noise and turned around.

"You're up so early, the pot still needs a while." She spoke softly, her hands still gripping the cleaver, not daring to put it down.

Shen Huai stood by the doorway, his gaze falling on her newly changed plaid shirt. The shirt was loose, and the buttons were no longer pulled so tight.

"I'm skipping breakfast, I'm going to the factory," Shen Huai said in a low voice.

Su Nianhe was taken aback for a moment: "Going to work on an empty stomach will make your stomach uncomfortable."

Shen Huai took a step forward and stepped directly into the kitchen.

The distance between the two people has shortened.

"Go do what I told you about yesterday." Shen Huai looked into her eyes and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Go to the personnel department early to line up and get the application form. Eat after you get it."

Su Nianhe's cheeks flushed, knowing that he was referring to applying for subsidized housing.

She nodded and urged him, "Then you should go quickly, don't delay the important business."

Shen Huai didn't linger any longer and turned to leave through the living room door.

At breakfast time, the Shen family members came downstairs one after another.

After reading the newspaper, Shen Wanshan went to work, and after finishing his meal, Shen Tao also pushed his bicycle away.

Only Liu Huizhen and Wang Liping remained at the dinner table.

Wang Liping was on a different shift today and was slowly sipping her millet porridge, her eyes darting around the room before finally settling on Su Nianhe, who was carrying a plate.

"Mom," Wang Liping put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "With Xiao Huai's looks and qualities, what kind of city girl can't he find? Yesterday, he didn't even go to see Commissar Chen's niece, he just stood her up. Do you think he has something else in mind?"

Liu Huizhen was already in a bad mood because of yesterday's events, and she frowned when she heard this: "What could he be thinking? He just finds blind dates troublesome."

"It's one thing to find it troublesome," Wang Liping said in a low voice, her words carrying a hidden meaning. "He's at the prime of his life, with a young woman constantly coming and going from the house. Look at Nianhe's appearance and figure; even this plaid shirt can't hide her. Otherwise, why would Xiao Huai be so resistant to blind dates? He must have been seduced by someone."

Upon hearing this, Liu Huizhen's face immediately darkened.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Liu Huizhen scolded her eldest daughter-in-law, suppressing her anger. "Xiao Huai is an upright person. Do you think he's one of those street thugs? The reputation of the Shen family is not for you to spread rumors about!"

Wang Liping pouted after being scolded, picked up her handbag, and went to work.

Although the person is gone, these words remain firmly in Liu Huizhen's heart.

In the morning, Aunt Wang held Shen Ping'an and sat in the shade of a tree in the yard.

Liu Huizhen was already feeling down because her son didn't want to go on blind dates, so she didn't even go to the neighborhood committee where she usually went.

She sat on the single sofa in the living room, holding an enamel teacup, her gaze fixed on Su Nianhe, who was cleaning.

Su Nianhe took a rag and bent over to wipe the coffee table and TV cabinet.

Although the newly changed plaid shirt was oversized, her skin was fair and radiant, and two braids hung down in front of her. She moved quickly and efficiently.

Liu Huizhen stared at her, her mind replaying Wang Liping's words, both explicit and implicit, spoken that morning.

Xiao Huai is usually indifferent to everyone, but she stood up for Su Nianhe and drove Zhao Qiang away in the courtyard before, which she had heard about.

Zhao Qiang spoke with such vividness and detail, as if Shen Huai were extremely nervous. At the time, she only thought that this scoundrel was always just a smooth talker.

That noon, when washing vegetables, Xiao Huai also rushed to start working before Su Nianhe.

The more Liu Huizhen thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

"Nianhe." Liu Huizhen put down her teacup, the porcelain clinking against the glass tabletop.

Su Nianhe stopped wiping the rag in her hand.

She straightened up, wiped her hands on her apron, and walked to the sofa.

"Aunt Liu, did you call me?" Su Nianhe stood properly with her hands clasped in front of her.

Liu Huizhen pointed to the square wooden stool next to her: "Sit down and rest for a while, and talk to me."

Su Nianhe dared not sit down properly, so she could only lean half of her body against the edge of the wooden stool, keeping her back straight.

Liu Huizhen looked her over, from her hair down to her brand-new plaid shirt.

"You've been working for us for a while now. You're quick and efficient, and your cooking is just what we like. You also feed Ping An very well. I've always considered you as half a family member." Liu Huizhen's tone was calm and unhurried, revealing no emotion.

"Thank you for taking care of me, Aunt Liu. I know the rules and will work hard," Su Nianhe replied honestly.

"There are many people in our family, and everyone has a different temperament." Liu Huizhen changed the subject, "You spend a lot of time at home, what do you think of Xiao Huai?"

Upon hearing this question, Su Nianhe's fingers, which were resting on her knees, immediately clenched together.

Her mind was filled with the image of Shen Huai pressing her down on his lap and kissing her in the room on the second floor last night.

Liu Huizhen stared intently at her.

Su Nianhe knew this was a test.

She swallowed hard, trying to keep her voice steady, and only spoke of her initial impressions.

"Technician Shen is a learned man, a high-ranking cadre in the factory, and knows a lot," Su Nianhe said, her head lowered. "He's just usually quite intimidating. He doesn't talk much, and his face is always stern. He also has a bad temper. When I run into him in the yard, I don't dare to greet him, afraid of upsetting him."

These words perfectly capture the fear a rural nanny has of the son of a high-ranking official.

Liu Huizhen listened, picked up her teacup, and took a sip.

Su Nianhe's timid and fearful demeanor didn't seem to be an act.

"He has a bad temper; even your Uncle Shen and I can't control him at home," Liu Huizhen continued, then abruptly changed the subject, "He's a manager at the factory, but a pampered young master at home. So, how do you think he treats you?"

Su Nianhe's back began to sweat, and the plaid shirt felt cool against her back.

She knew she absolutely could not answer this question wrong, not even by a single word.

"Technician Shen is polite to everyone," Su Nianhe replied slowly, her voice soft but her pronunciation clear. "He usually doesn't talk to me much. But once, when Zhao Qiang from next door came to cause me trouble, Technician Shen happened to be passing by and chased him away for me."

Liu Huizhen put down her teacup: "I heard about what happened with Zhao Qiang too. Xiao Huai usually doesn't even bother with other people's business, so why did he stand up for you?"

Su Nianhe gripped her trouser leg tightly with her fingers.

"Technician Shen is an upright person." Su Nianhe raised her head and looked into Liu Huizhen's eyes. "He said at the time that Zhao Qiang's hooligan behavior was corrupting the atmosphere of the compound. He couldn't stand people like Zhao Qiang, and it wasn't just to help me."

This reason is flawless.

The Shen family values ​​the family's atmosphere above all else, and it is only natural for Shen Huai, as a son of the Shen family, to maintain the atmosphere of the compound.

Liu Huizhen nodded.

"He really hates good-for-nothings like Zhao Qiang the most," Liu Huizhen sighed. "Xiao Huai is all about work and principles. If you're hardworking, he naturally won't make things difficult for you."

Liu Huizhen was still wondering to herself, thinking she would ask Wang Liping when she returned that evening, but she waved her hand dismissively.

Su Nianhe stood up, picked up the basin, and went to the water trough in the backyard to change the water.

She walked to the sink and turned on the tap.

When she poured cold water on her hands, she realized that both of them were trembling.

She was still afraid that Liu Huizhen would find out.

The Shen family pays high wages; once the work is done, that's it. They don't interfere with what you do when you're not working.

The money she earns is hers.

If Liu Huizhen finds out that she's dating Shen Huai, she'll lose her job that allows her to earn money.

Shen Huai said he could support her and find her a new job. He wants to do that now. If he doesn't, she will have nothing left.

This job is one she already has, and she can earn money steadily.

……

In the future, the chapter titles will be very casual and will not highlight the important points, in order to avoid being targeted by those who report the content based on the chapter titles.

What do you all think of Nianhe's idea of ​​staying to earn money? Or is it just blindly trusting the male lead?
