Xia Yuan's indistinct sobs echoed throughout the room. Alexandra, who was lying on the bed, looked out the window and chuckled:

"Haha, the relationship between you two is really good~

"It seems like the snow outside is getting heavier. Such blizzards usually last for half a month. If you don't mind... you can stay here for a while and wait until the blizzard stops before leaving."

"Hey, this won't be too much trouble for you, stupid subordinate, right?"

Xia Yuan was about to shake his head. He was planning to stay here for a while longer to help build a relationship between Bronya and her mother, but the force Bronya pressed on his shoulders undoubtedly told him...

If Xia Yuan doesn't want to go to the orthopedics department for treatment, or if he doesn't want to get his arm broken and be used as an experimental subject or guinea pig by Dr. Aine and Dr. Mobius, it would be best for him to do things in Bronya's way and at Bronya's pace.

Bronya's eyes revealed an invisible threat, as if to express that if the stupid subordinate dared to speak nonsense in front of her mother, there would only be one ending and fate...

Faced with the threat posed by Bronya's excessive nervousness, Xia Yuan finally compromised and nodded slightly.

But he has only one real purpose.

Allow Bronya to open up to her inner self and have a heart-to-heart talk with Alexandra, her biological mother.

"It's okay, just think of it as chatting with me, okay?"

Faced with Alexandra's request, Bronya couldn't bear to refuse, but she didn't know what to talk to her at the moment. Her eyes glanced to the corner of the room and she didn't dare to look at Alexandra on the bed.

The atmosphere in the house became very quiet.

At this moment, Alexandra, who was lying on the bed, slowly spoke:

"By the way, as travelers, you must be exhausted after coming here, right? Please take a rest here for a while. I will do my best to be a good host and prepare some local specialties for you."

Chapter 342 Stupid subordinates, feelings? Absolutely impossible!

Alexandra, who was lying on the bed, was about to get up when she suddenly felt a pain and covered her abdomen. Fortunately, Xia Yuan, who was beside her, rushed to the bed in time and supported her.

"Ahem, Ms. Alexander, are you okay?"

"Sorry... this kid has been very active lately and kicked me again just now."

Alexandra caressed her belly lovingly.

"Well, this child is such a little naughty boy. He doesn't know how to understand his mother's hard work at all, don't you think? My dear boss Brownie~"

Realizing that his stupid subordinates were playing a trick on him in disguise...

Bronya came to Xia Yuan in a bad mood and pulled him back from the edge of the bed. Then she took the initiative to help Alexandra up, but Bronya still glanced around and did not dare to look at her biological mother.

"Stupid subordinate, if you have nothing else to do, I will assign you an important task. Go to the kitchen and prepare a sumptuous dinner for us."

Now Bronya just wants to get rid of her stupid subordinates as much as possible, and Xia Yuan also wants to give the two of them enough time alone.

"No problem, leave it to me. I promise to satisfy you, Brownie~"

If you want to impress your boss's cold heart, you must first satisfy his stomach. Xia Yuan has extremely rich practical experience in this regard. After all, there is an almost bottomless foodie at home.

Alexandra wanted to say something, but was stopped by Bronya:

"Well... just leave it to me, a reliable junior in the culinary field. Even though he is not very active at work, he is quite reliable when it comes to food."

Bronya rarely praised Xia Yuan.

It’s a pity that Xia Yuan had already tied on his apron and was busy running back and forth in the kitchen, and didn’t hear Bronya’s praise at all.

"I'm so sorry to cause you trouble..."

Bronya shook her head and said, "No, we are the ones causing trouble. We came to disturb them in such a heavy snowstorm."

"But Brownie...have we met before? Or known each other?"

Alexandra always felt that the silver-haired woman named Brownie next to her looked too much like herself, but she herself did not have such a relative.

"I haven't seen him. Ahem... maybe it's fate. Brownie also feels that there is someone in the world who looks so much like Brownie."

At this moment, Bronya was no longer as calm as before.

Even the tone of voice when speaking to him became stammering, and I didn't know what to say to the other person.

"Yes, fate is a magical thing. If possible...can you tell me about your experience and past, Brownie?"

Alexandra gently held Bronya's hand, her eyes revealing a hint of longing and goodwill.

It was clearly their first meeting, and although this was a bit impolite, for some reason, she was very eager to learn about the other person's experiences and past.

"There's not much to talk about Brownie's experiences... Most of them are just some trivial daily events, um..."

But when Bronya caught a glimpse of the curiosity and expectation in the other person's eyes, she finally gave in. She had to talk to the other person about her past experiences as much as possible without revealing her true identity.

Time passes quietly——

"Mercenary, St. Freya Academy, becoming a game producer... It seems like you've been through a lot, Brownie."

Although she didn't understand why, she subconsciously hugged Bronya beside her, wanting to give her a little warmth and comfort.

Bronya snuggled in Alexandra's arms in a daze.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Alexandra gently stroked her head, her touch was gentle and caring, as if she was soothing a tired heart, and her eyes were full of endless tenderness.

"Thank you for your hard work... Brownie."

Alexandra's sudden action caught Bronya off guard.

Her thoughts were a little distracted, but the long-lost warmth suddenly broke into Bronya's heart.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. Just when Bronya could no longer bear it and wanted to call out "Mother", Alexandra's gentle and kind voice once again echoed in Bronya's ears.

"Excuse me....Brownie, for some reason I really want to give you a hug."

"It's okay, mother... ahem, Ms. Alexander, I don't mind. On the contrary, in your arms, Brownie felt the care and warmth from his mother for the first time in a long time."

"Really? That's good. If it's convenient... can you tell me about your subordinate Brownie?"

At this time, Xia Yuan was still busy in the kitchen. In order to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Bronya and his future mother-in-law, he decided to use all his life's knowledge.

"A stupid subordinate? There's nothing good to talk about with him. He just wants to slack off all day and never takes his work seriously. And, and..."

Bronya glanced at Xia Yuan in the kitchen.

There was a certain resentment in his eyes. If the other party hadn't explained the situation to him...

It is impossible for her to be so embarrassed and unconfident when she actually meets her mother. Well... it is all the fault of the stupid subordinates. It is all their fault. She is not happy at all with this surprise. Well... not happy at all!

But the curve of Bronya's mouth could not hide the sweet feeling in her heart at the moment.

"I think he must be a very important person in your heart, Brownie."

"A stupid subordinate? He... he is not one of them!"

Bronya's childish stubbornness at this time caused Alexandra to laugh.

"Brownie, I am also a soon-to-be mother who has experienced relationships, and because of this... I can feel your concern for the other person and the natural feelings that flow from your heart."

"I...I have feelings for my stupid subordinate? Absolutely impossible! Ahem, it's possible that I care about him, but it's just the kind of care that a boss has for his subordinates."

Bronya insisted to the other party and tried her best to defend the relationship between them.

"Dear Brownie, dinner is ready. Come and help me."

But when Xia Yuan suddenly walked out of the kitchen and called Bronya's name, the other party changed her usual calmness, and a little redness and panic appeared on her cheeks.

Chapter 343: The war between two people at the dining table~

"I know, I know, stupid subordinate, I'll be right there."

After tidying up her clothes and trying to calm her fluctuating emotions, Bronya walked towards the kitchen pretending to be calm under Alexandra's caring gaze.

"Ahem, dear Ms. Browne, how was your time with your mother just now?"

"Hey...silly subordinate, keep your voice down, or the other party will hear you."

It was very rare to see Bronya with a shy look on her face, which gave Xia Yuan the idea of ​​playing a trick on his boss.

thump—

Xia Yuan pushed Bronya against the kitchen wall, stood on tiptoes and looked down at his female boss, who was completely different from her daily work.

"So, dear Ms. Brownie, are you ready to become a captive of my delicious food?"

Bronya immediately covered Xia Yuan's mouth with both hands to prevent him from making any sound.

The current situation is really too shameful.

You have to know that her biological mother is watching her on the bed in the bedroom outside... Although the other party doesn't know her identity yet, if she lets the stupid subordinate continue like this, he will be exposed sooner or later.

When Bronya secretly looked at the bed in the bedroom through the crack of the door, she saw Alexandra smiling and waving at her and her stupid subordinates. The meaningful smile on her face made Bronya's cheeks flush red.

Obviously, the stupid subordinate's behavior just now has been noticed by the other party.

So...Ms. Bruni, suppressing her shame and anger, grabbed Xia Yuan by the collar at an extremely fast speed and pulled him to the corner of the kitchen where her mother could not see her.

"Ms. Brownie, what happened all of a sudden? Why are your cheeks so red? Did you have such a pleasant chat with Ms. Alexander that your cheeks turned red?"

thump—

Bronya turned defense into offense and pushed Xia Yuan against the wall.

She looked at him intently and said, "Silly subordinate, stop talking nonsense. Now you have only one task... less talk and more action. Don't say a word in front of my mother. Do you understand?"

Xia Yuan shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand what Bronya was saying.

“Two months of paid vacation.”

Looking at the two fingers extended by Bronya, Xia Yuan shook his head less and less frequently, but the two months of paid leave did not seem to be enough to impress him.

"Half-year paid vacation..."

This was already the limit of what Bronya could tolerate. If the stupid subordinate was still bargaining with her, she would knock him out with a sharp knife and then consider what to do next.

However, after being with Bronya for so long, Xia Yuan had already figured out what she was thinking. The moment Bronya was about to extend her hand, Xia Yuan readily shook her hand.

"Deal~"

But this just means that he can't speak actively.

If Bronya's mother allowed him to speak, he would speak freely.

While making his own plans in mind, Xia Yuan had already brought the prepared dinner to the table.

Originally, he was going to help Ms. Alexandra, who had some mobility problems, to the dining table, but Bronya had already taken the lead. In order to prevent her stupid subordinates from talking nonsense, Bronya even used the same spirit as when she was conquering extremely difficult games, focusing her attention highly and not slacking off at any moment.

Based on her understanding of Xia Yuan, she didn't think that her stupid subordinate would be so obedient as to listen to her, and would definitely take action at the next dinner table.

Ms. Alexander sat in the middle of the round dining table, while Bronya sat on her right and Xia Yuan sat on her left.

The two stared at each other without giving in.

At this moment, the dining table had clearly become a battlefield between Bronya and Xia Yuan.

"It smells so good... I didn't expect that you, Mr. Xia Yuan, could prepare such a rich dinner with limited ingredients."

"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Alexander. If possible, I hope you will allow me to introduce these features to you in detail."

Bronya was concentrating.

She already understood what the stupid subordinate was planning, and she couldn't let him continue along with what her mother said, otherwise the topic and initiative at the dinner table would be in the hands of the stupid subordinate.

She then coughed a few times and said:

"Stupid subordinate, have you forgotten your table manners?

"Don't make loud noises at the table. And your throat has been a bit sore lately. Drink it while it's hot. Ms. Alexander, you should also drink a sip of the soup to warm your body. It will also be good for the baby in your belly."

Bronya calmly served the soup to the two of them.

He handed it to the two of them, but when he stood up and handed the soup to Xia Yuan, he said with a smile: "Stupid subordinate...drink more soup. If it's not enough, I'll give you more. Drink it slowly, and don't choke~"

Xia Yuan naturally heard the implicit meaning in Bronya's words. The smile on the other party's mouth seemed a little stiff, but he still picked up the soup in the bowl and drank it all.

"Thank you for your concern... I will definitely drink a few more bowls. I believe that Ms. Brownie must be very considerate of her subordinates in her daily work and will never let her subordinates run errands or do odd jobs that are not related to work."

Expressions of [Angry] and [Very Angry] gradually appeared on Bronya's forehead.

If her mother Alexandra had not been there, she would have stuffed the soup pot on the dining table into the mouth of her stupid subordinate.

but.......

Fortunately, because of Bronya's previous behavior, Ms. Alexander has been successfully distracted.
