Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Ming Yao’s Service is All-encompassing
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yanxi didn’t notice anything amiss and slapped his thigh, “I’m going, how do you always find such employers?”
As soon as Yanxi spoke, an eerie silence fell over the dining room.
Realizing he had said something wrong, Yanxi coughed awkwardly, “Fourth Brother, I wasn’t talking about you, haha.”
Ming Yao nodded, her voice soft and gentle, “Young Master Yan is right, even though I’ve only worked for Fourth Master for a few days, I can clearly feel that Fourth Master is not like the rumors, he’s just cold on the outside but warm on the inside and not good with words.”
Ming Yao cursed inwardly with a spat, spat, spat, Tyrant Gu almost strangled her to death initially, cold-hearted and quick-tempered, bloodthirsty and ruthless.
But these words could never be said in front of Tyrant Gu’s face.
Making him a delicious meal and offering some flattering words always did the trick.
“I rarely come across such a good employer, Aunt Zhong told me that Fourth Master has a weak stomach, so the dishes I made tonight are all stomach-nurturing, I hope Fourth Master will like them.”
Gu Siting, “…”, knowing he had a weak stomach, she didn’t stop him when he ate cat food before?
Ming Yao noticed Gu Siting’s sharp gaze. She lowered her eyelashes and bit her lip, looking terrified.
Although her trembling eyelashes, paired with her plain face, really didn’t evoke sympathy, Gu Siting didn’t make it difficult for her any further.
After all, what was there to fuss about with a little maid?
He glanced at the dishes on the table, and they indeed were all stomach-nurturing, tasting significantly better than the usual fare from Aunt Zhong.
Mu Chengjin glanced at Ming Yao and his lips curved slightly.
This little maid was quite interesting. She clearly wasn’t this timid before, but after Siting came down, she showed signs of trying to please and fear.
Even the cold-hearted Fourth Master wouldn’t punish her further after seeing the little maid being so eager to please and afraid of him, right?
Pretty smart, and also pretty good at grasping people’s hearts.
Yanxi went to the wine cellar and brought out two bottles of good wine.
Ming Yao stood aside, serving them diligently as their maid, refilling wine glasses the moment they were empty, handing out warm towels for anyone who needed to wipe their hands, and even lighting cigarettes for those who asked.
In short, the service was all-encompassing.
Yanxi felt more and more that Fourth Master had found a treasure.
Yanxi was chatty by nature, and after drinking too much, he became even chattier.
He looked at Gu Siting, “Fourth Brother, among us brothers, it seems that except for me, who grew up in a loving environment with our parents, you and Chengjin have had quite a rough time. Your mom only dotes on your brother, you’re in control of the Gu Family, and she still wants you to hand over the power to your brother, she’s really incredibly biased!”
“I heard from my mom that your mom is planning to get you married to the girl from the Zhou Family after you divorce. Everyone knows Madam Zhou is your mom’s close friend. By asking you to marry Miss Zhou, isn’t she trying to indirectly take power from you?”
Gu Siting’s slender and flawless fingertips held the wine glass, lazily swirling it, while his other hand rested on the chair back. Due to this movement, the white shirt clung to his long body, outlining his broad yet toned shoulders and the contours of his chest muscles.
“What’s the point in bringing this up?” Gu Siting downed the liquid in his glass, “I’ve long stopped giving a damn.”
Saying he didn’t care, he started drinking one cup after another.
Standing in the corner, Ming Yao watched the man whose outline was tense, sharp and cold, yet also tinged with a faint loneliness, and she felt a strange emotion stirring within her.
It turns out, Tyrant Gu’s family background was as unhappy as Ming Yao’s!
