Chapter 169 I'm Not Flat-chested
After entering the building complex, when they were walking toward the building where they lived, Ellie asked Aaron, "What do you want to eat tomorrow morning? I'll cook it for you."
Aaron answered, "Don't concern yourself with it. You just got here. Please have a good rest. I'll buy breakfast outside."
Hearing they spoke of this, Jane said, "Get up fifteen minutes earlier to buy it for yourself. I'll email Sofia to ask for a few days off when I get back to my place in a while."
Aaron responded, "Okay, give your little aunt a good company."
Ellie immediately interrupted, "Don't ask for leave. Keep doing your work. I don't need your company."
Jane said, "I've had Edward's words."
Her words did not clearly show what she meant, and Ellie thought that she had asked Edward for it, so she nagged, "The children's studies are the top priority. Don't let them miss any courses because of me."
Jane said, "They'll probably be overjoyed for not having courses. My holiday is also theirs."
Unable to dissuade Jane, Ellie looked over Jane's shoulder at Aaron, "I'll cook breakfast tomorrow. Come up to our floor a little earlier to eat it."
"Don't bother, little aunt…"
"Don't act like a man of etiquette in front of me! Don't nag! That's a deal." Ellie could act like a coquettish woman, but she could also be a resolute one. Aaron looked at Jane, but Jane said, "Obey her order. I also have to listen to her."
They three walked into the elevator. Aaron lived on the second floor, and the elevator came to the floor in the blink of an eye. When the elevator door opened, he said good night to Ellie before walking out. Jane pressed the button for the third floor.
There were only two households on each floor here. Jane opened the door and turned on the lights. Ellie glanced inside at the door. Then, as she changed into her slippers, she said, "Does your company provide you with the rental subsidies?"
Jane answered, "Those who have worked with the company for more than three years have them, but I don't."
Ellie asked, "How much is the monthly rent here?"
Jane said, "Aaron pays 4,500 dollars a month."
Ellie asked shrewdly, "You don't pay the rent, do you?"
Not wishing to hide it from Ellie, Jane said frankly, "This is the benefit supplement Edward provides for his family's tutor."
Ellie said, "I guessed it. 'Is it possible for you to be willing to rent such a nice place with your own money?'"
She led the way, giving her remark like a general. Walking after her, Jane snapped, "Don't take me as a miser! I'm not like Jennifer."
Ellie took off her coat and walked around the apartment, but she mainly checked the kitchen and fridge, in fact. "Yes, good. You do cook in this place."
Jane said, "Don't worry. I take good care of myself."
Ellie squinted at her. "You're a bit thinner than what you were when just graduated, right?"
Jane muttered inwardly that her aunt had sharp eyes. "I caught a cold a few days ago so I got a few pounds thinner," she answered.
Ellie pressed the corner of her mouth. "You caught a cold as soon as you got here. How could I stop worrying about you?"
Jane came out of the master bedroom with a piece of new pajamas and pushed Ellie toward the shower room. "Take a shower before interrogating me."
Ellie took the pajamas. Even when she had come to the shower room door, she went back to fetch her phone. Among the daughters of the Cooper family, apart from Jane's mother, all the others were very sensitive. This action alone aroused Jane's suspicion, and she asked, "Who are you waiting to call you?"
Ellie answered calmly, "Not waiting for anyone. This is my habit."
Jane leaned against the wall with her arms folded and her eyes sharpened. "Don't lie to me! You always bring the phone with you only when you're in love."
After pausing a bit, Ellie said, "Um, the factory will ship a batch of goods these days. They might contact me anytime. I'm afraid that they'll be worried if they can't reach me."
"Seriously?" Jane narrowed her eyes slightly to scrutinize her.
Ellie immediately passed her phone to Jane and said, "If you don't believe me, see it yourself."
Jane was about to take it, but Ellie suddenly withdrew that hand and bypassed her, rushing toward the shower room. Jane reached out to catch her but missed. By the moment, her aunt had flashed into the shower room and closed the door.
Standing outside, Jane called, "If you don't feel guilty, why did you run?"
Ellie also called, "You've changed. You had no interest in others' privacies in the past."
Jane asked in reply, "Are you among 'others'?"
Ellie said, "Keep in mind. We're all adults, aren't we? Now you make me look so bad."
But Jane responded, "Let's have a good chat after you take the shower."
Ellie reminded her by saying, "I take a shower slowly. It might take an hour."
"Take your time. Now I'm going to email my boss to ask for leave. As long as you can come out tonight, it is fine."
Ellie did not answer, but her singing came out of the shower room. Jane could not tell what she was humming, but she found that her voice was nice.
Jane did not know whether to laugh or cry. She turned on her notebook and sat on the sofa in the living room to send the email.
After a while, Ellie called, "Jane?"
"What's up?"
"Your shampoo smells good. It's the smell I like."
"I'll buy a few bottles and express them back to H City for you."
"Good."
After a few moments, Ellie called again, "Jane."
"What?"
"I also like your shower gel."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you."
After a few more moments, Ellie said, "Jane."
"Yes, what else do you like?"
Ellie asked, "Is the underwear hanging on the wall old or new?"
Jane answered, "New. If you want, take it."
Ellie said, "I don't mean that. You've grown taller these years, but your boobs are the same as before."
Having already sent the email, Jane was now answering questions on Forward Education's official website. Hearing that, she felt helpless, shouting, "Mine are B cups. They're normal! Perfectly normal!"
Ellie asked, "I remember that you wore this size when you were in high school. Your boobs haven't grown at all over the years?"
Jane tried hard to suppress the wish to roll her eyes. "Why do I have to have such a big size? I won't feed a baby."
The sound of water stopped in the shower room, and Ellie's voice became clearer, "Have you ever heard the saying that a flat-chested wife will bring poverty to the three generations of the family? No matter how beautiful you are, if your breasts are small, nothing is meaningful! Alas, one of my friends has a plastic surgery clinic. Do you want me to ask my friend about your condition?"
Jane was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, expressionless. "I have breasts! I'm not flat-chested!"
The shower room door opened, and Ellie came out with a burst of vapor. Jane looked up and saw Ellie in a white aswell as big towel. It was really suitable for Jane, but for Ellie, it was just a small one that could barely cover her private parts up and under.
Ellie was only 1.6 meters tall, short but plump. Her breasts, half covered by the towel, were bulging, and her legs were straight and thin. They were short, but looked long.
Having seen Ellie's half-exposed body many times, Jane asked calmly, "Why not change into the pajamas?"
Ellie sat down beside her and said, "I haven't applied the body lotion."
Jane said, "I've never applied it."
Ellie said, "I'm not like you. You're like a man."
Jane was speechless, but she was used to being accused like that.
Ellie took out all kinds of skin care products and faced Jane with her back. Jane knew her aunt wanted her to apply the lotion on her back. Back then, when they lived together, Jane always did it for her. So, she could do it well.
Jane squeezed out some lotion on her palm and rubbed it evenly before putting her hands on her aunt's smooth and fair-skinned shoulders. There was an uncomfortable-looking red rose with a size of the nearly middle finger on her aunt's right shoulder, which was gorgeous and seductive. And there was also a good smell in the air, which would make one mistakenly think the rose was real-so nice and so fragrant.
But Jane lowered her eyelids because she knew what was beneath the beautiful surface was all darkness and bad things.
