After reading the message, Uncle Tao was sweating profusely, but he believed it was because of his advanced age and frail health.
It certainly wasn’t because he was afraid of someone’s anger.
Upon finishing, a sinister voice on the other end asked, "Is this what she wrote?"
"Young Master, I absolutely did not alter the content."
"Stop her, don’t let her eat. Whoever lets her eat will get out!" Tang Yuchen’s stern voice came through, scaring Uncle Tao into moving the receiver slightly away.
"Yes, Young Master, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Uncle Tao quickly ordered two maids to carry An Ruo out of the kitchen.
"Young Lady, the Young Master said that you are not allowed to eat."
An Ruo had already anticipated such a result and said with a slight smile, "I won’t eat, I’ll just cook."
Uncle Tao was stunned and hesitantly asked her, "If you don’t eat, why do you want to cook?"
"I have nothing else to do, so I wanted to find something to keep me busy. Besides, doesn’t your Young Master want to eat the food I cook? I’ll make it for him."
Uncle Tao was very suspicious that the Young Lady would poison the food.
With a smile, An Ruo tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "Your Young Master only said not to let me eat, he didn’t say not to let me cook. Uncle Tao, please let me cook. I’ll go crazy with nothing to do."
Uncle Tao thought to himself, if the Young Lady cooked for the Young Master, perhaps he would be pleased and treat her a bit better.
So he nodded with a smile, agreeing to her request.
"Thank you, Uncle Tao." An Ruo smiled and went to the kitchen. Uncle Tao felt a bit uneasy looking at her calm smile.
The Young Lady’s temperament shouldn’t be ; she should be defying the Young Master.
Now that the Young Master was not allowing her to eat, she was not only not angry but even considered cooking for him. This was very strange.
Could it be that the Young Lady would really poison the Young Master’s food?
Uncle Tao was startled by his own thought, but then he reassessed, the Young Lady definitely wouldn’t do such a thing. After all, if the Young Master were poisoned, she would be the prime suspect.
An Ruowei used the rice cooker to make rice, and she sliced a cucumber, planning to make a cold dish.
"You don’t need to stand here; I can do it alone. If you insist on watching me, just stand by the door," she said as she placed cucumber slices into the bowl, speaking to the two maids beside her.
The two maids exchanged glances, decided to leave, and after all, continuously monitoring the Young Lady made them feel embarrassed.
With no one else in the kitchen, An Ruowei slightly smiled and continued cooking.
Before the end of work, Tang Yuchen hurried back home.
Thinking about the remark An Ruo had made about his flaws, he had been uncomfortable and couldn’t settle down to work, so he had decided to come back early to settle the score with her!
He strode into the living room with a grave face and turned to Uncle Tao, asking coldly, "Where is An Ruo?"
"Young Master, the Young Lady is in the kitchen cooking for you," Uncle Tao replied smoothly.
Tang Yuchen paused, a flash of suspicion in his eyes, she was cooking for him?
He moved his long legs and walked to the kitchen doorway, where he saw An Ruo tied up in a pink floral apron, busy at the sink.
The way she cooked was so earnest and homely that seeing her stirred a warm feeling in the man’s heart.
An Ruo glanced at him sideways and said faintly, "You’re back. Wait a bit; the meal will be ready soon."
Tang Yuchen walked up behind her, his solid chest pressing against her back, and he began speaking in a low husky voice beside her ear.
