Fortunately, Housekeeper Chen had served him for many years and had developed an extraordinary mental resilience.
He quickly had the dishes brought up.
The servants, well-trained, brought up the dishes one by one, and one of them was responsible for serving him soup.
But today, the maid serving the soup seemed distracted, her gaze kept darting to their Family Head’s face...
Though her actions were standard, her quality was clearly below par.
Her desire to show off was too strong.
Housekeeper Chen frowned and immediately thought of turning around to scold the maid.
Then he heard that "maid" speak in a soft, sweet voice: "Beautiful woman."
Housekeeper Chen: "..." He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Yan Yan, sitting in the main seat, already had darkened eyes.
He looked at the young girl in front of him, dressed in a maid’s outfit, looking even more obedient and cute, and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
Yun Qiluo blinked her eyes: "Helping you serve the soup."
Seeing the beautiful woman up close, he was really too good-looking...
How could someone be this beautiful?
She wanted to compliment him again.
Yun Qiluo followed her heart and, after staring dumbly at him for a long time, earnestly added: "Beautiful woman, you are really good-looking."
"..." Yan Yan’s gaze darkened again.
After just a few days of not seeing her, her courage had grown significantly.
Housekeeper Chen: "..."
He was shocked for a good few seconds before he comprehended what Yun Qiluo had said!
She actually dared to say their master was good-looking! Who gave her this courage!!!
Oh no, Mr. Yan must be furious!!
Housekeeper Chen was racking his brains to come up with a plea for her when Yun Qiluo naively finished serving a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Yan Yan.
Her voice was soft, emulating the servants quite well.
Thinking she did very well, her eyes looked at him brightly, full of hope for praise.
And Yan Yan, at the dining table, was indeed angry.
But it wasn’t because she said he was good-looking.
He leaned back, with a hint of danger in his lazy voice: "Who told you to do this?"
The question was addressed to Yun Qiluo, but his cold gaze fell on Housekeeper Chen.
It was clear he was asking him.
Housekeeper Chen was sweating profusely, about to open his mouth to explain.
Yun Qiluo sensitively sensed something was wrong.
But not knowing why, she tugged on his sleeve.
She spoke with aggrieved innocence: "I wanted to do it myself, it has nothing to do with Uncle Butler."
Yan Yan’s gaze fell on the young girl’s clear and tense eyes.
His gaze paused slightly, and he said coldly, "You don’t need to do these things."
"But..." Yun Qiluo thought of the other maids and protested in a small voice, "If they can do it, why can’t I?"
"You are different from them."
No one dared to treat the person he brought back as a maid.
Yun Qiluo looked a bit dejected, dropping her head, realizing she would have to find another way to repay him.
The man looked at her maid outfit and asked, "Where are your clothes?"
"Sir, she has always been wearing the maid’s outfit," Housekeeper Chen cautiously spoke up, "because new women’s clothes haven’t been procured for her yet, and there are none at home, so..."
Since the night Yan Yan brought Yun Qiluo back, she only had two sets of pajamas that they had bought temporarily upon his instructions.
There were no women’s clothes in the villa, and since Yan Yan hadn’t mentioned it, Housekeeper Chen dared not purchase any on his own, so she had to wear the maid’s outfit for now.
This had led to her blending in with the servants, and Housekeeper Chen hadn’t noticed for a while.
Yan Yan’s gaze flickered slightly; he had forgotten. Since he had an extra little thing at home, he should indeed buy some clothes.
"Have Secretary Qin send over some women’s clothes."
