Wang Xiangyun glanced over at Dongfang Ming chatting joyously with his guests. She knew Ming Yan had blocked their way under Dongfang Ming’s order, otherwise he would not do that.
This had happened before too!
“Ming Yan, have you got no ears? Don’t pretend you didn’t hear us! This trick is old!” Little Tian stepped in front of him and angrily gave his shoulders a push.
He was like this in the capital, always stopping her lady from seeing Dongfang Ming. How she hated him so!
Ming Yan looked down at Little Tian who was so much shorter than him and frowned. “Why did you push me? Only a shrew would get physical like that.”
Similarly, he held no liking towards the servant either. Both lady and servant were considered unabashed women in his book.
His master’s instructions were very clear. He only treated her like a sister and would not marry her, but she did not know when to quit!
This immediately ticked off Little Tian. She pointed at him. “Who’re you calling a shrew? I dare you to say that again!”
I really want to beat this rascal into a pulp. He’s always like this, with his higher-than-thou arrogance. I hate him! So, so much! She thought to herself as her temper rose.
Not far away, Liu Duo looked over at Ming Yan’s situation and said, “Dongfang, that beautiful lady over there seems to be looking for you. Maybe you should see what’s going on.”
She did not want Wang Xiangyun to come over. She could not give a specific reason why but she just did not like her.
Ye Ling looked over there too. He thought, so the Brother Ming she meant is really Brother Ming…
But it had nothing to do with him, so he did not think much about it.
Dongfang Ming served his two guests one exquisite steamed dumpling each. “She’s not important, leave her be! Try this, eat it while it’s hot.”
He was not worried that Wang Xiangyun would threaten Ming Yan with her status and therefore achieve her goal of meeting him.
“Duo Er, didn’t you say you’re hungry? Have some food. This must be the first time you’ve had a meal surrounded by lilies.”
Ye Ling was quite excited to be able to experience such fragrance among the lilies.
Liu Duo nodded with a smile and went along with it. “You’re right. It feels nice here, Let’s eat!”
They dined happily. The same could not be said on Ming Yan’s side.
Wang Xiangyun glared at him and frowned, not liking what he was doing. “Ming Yan, you’re a servant and yet you keep blocking my way. Where are your boundaries?”
The first thing she would do after marrying Dongfang Ming was have him removed!
“That’s right! My lady is your future mistress and yet you keep doing this to her. Do you expect to be fired soon?” Little Tian added, more ill-mannered than Wang Xiangyun.
Ming Yan humbly replied, “I know I am not as respectable as Miss Wang but, as my master’s bodyguard I can only follow his instructions. I believe he knows what he’s doing!”
In other words, you’re not my master, so why should I listen to you?
Wang Xiangyun had barely opened her mouth, ready to give him a good scolding, when Little Tian beat her lady to it. “Ming Yan, I urge you to know what’s good for you before it’s too late. When my lady marries into the Dongfang family, you’ll be sorry!”
What an ingrate! How dare he talk to the future mistress like that? That was not how a servant should behave!
Ming Yan gave a snort of contempt. He had no reason to entertain her. He would be sorry? That would have to wait until after he really married her!
In Dongfang Ming’s letter to him, it was already stated that he would cancel the engagement with the Wang family after his return to the capital, and it requested that Ming Yan convey the message to his parents.
