Chapter 22: Chapter 22: She hasn’t signed yet; that marriage, he’s not considered divorced yet!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Siting slightly frowned, his sword-like brows furrowed, and his dark eyes half-closed.
Handsome and sharp contours.
Even though Ming Yao had seen her fair share of handsome men, she had to admit that Gu Siting had charm.
A charm full of pheromones.
The kind that could make a woman’s heart race just by him squinting his eyes.
Fortunately, Ming Yao had strong willpower.
Seeing him staring at her as if she had mistreated his cat, Ming Yao explained, “Fourth Master, haven’t you noticed Little Snowball has gotten a bit chubbier recently?”
Gu Siting lifted Little Snowball’s paw, it did seem heavier.
“I’ve been taking good care of it with food and drink every day.” Where could he find a maid as devoted as she was?
Gu Siting put down Little Snowball and pointed at the cat food he had nibbled on, “What’s this?”
“This… ahem…”
Ming Yao hadn’t thought of an excuse yet when a voice, nonchalant and flippant, suddenly rose.
Ming Yao looked up to see a man with a handsome and wild appearance walk in.
The man inhaled through his nose as if he smelled something fragrant.
“Tsk tsk, what’s this delicious smell?” He approached the dining room, saw the cat food on the table, and took a whiff, “Fourth Brother, what’s this?”
Without waiting for Gu Siting to say anything, the man took a spoon and tasted it.
After eating, he nodded repeatedly, “Fourth Brother, did you get a new chef? The taste is very nice!”
Ming Yao, standing to the side, “…”
How had all these wealthy Young Masters never seen handmade cat food?
Little Snowball watched its food being devoured bite by bite and let out a sorrowful cry, jumping into Ming Yao’s arms for comfort.
Meow, mommy, I need a hug, I need comfort~
Ming Yao stroked Little Snowball’s head and signaled with her eyes that she would make something even tastier next time.
Watching Yanxi, who only left a tiny bit of leftovers, Gu Siting’s expression darkened, “Did a starving ghost possess you?”
Yanxi smiled wickedly, “Isn’t it just that the food abroad is too awful? I come back and find something this tasty, how could I resist?”
Then, noticing Ming Yao standing in the corner of the dining room, Yanxi gave her a glance with his peach blossom eyes that held a teasing glimmer.
“Fourth Brother, did Imperial Garden get a new maid?”
Yanxi sighed deeply.
He didn’t understand what Fourth Brother was thinking, always just focused on work.
The only servants in the house besides Steward Zhong and Aunt Zhong were plain organizers.
Hearing that the last organizer had left and seeing that the new one was as plain as ever, he thought.
“Didn’t you divorce that woman? You should enjoy yourself a bit, find a pretty Little Maid, eh!”
Ming Yao, “…”
She hadn’t signed the paperwork yet, that marriage was not dissolved!
What’s more, before he went on a business trip, she had smelt a woman’s perfume on his shirt!
It was one thing to find someone outside, but to hire a pretty Little Maid to serve him at night in his house?
“However, this Little Maid does make incredible food.” Yanxi pulled out a stack of cash from his wallet, “Make something tasty next time I come, alright?”
Ming Yao, holding Little Snowball, ignored Yanxi.
The ignored Yanxi, “…”
Gu Siting raised his finger and tugged at his tie, his eyes and brows deep as he looked towards Yanxi, “Did you find the fox yet?”
Ming Yao, about to leave the dining room, stiffened upon hearing Tyrant Gu’s mention of her nickname.
The last time she talked with her junior Jing Hang, she seemed to have heard him say Tyrant Gu was paying a high price to search for her whereabouts on the dark web.
When the matter got serious, Yanxi’s playful smile disappeared from his handsome face, “Difficult to find. Word on the street is, the fox might have met with misfortune!”
