Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Early morning.
Chu Yichen changed into his suit and went downstairs. Butler Chu was standing at the bottom of the stairs. “Good morning, Young Master!”
Chu Yichen nodded.
“Young Master, Madam called yesterday. It’s nothing serious. Miss Gu mentioned Li An’an when she met Madam in Korea. Madam is very worried about you.”
Chu Yichen halted at the bottom step. “Call Li An’an. Her grandmother’s funeral should be over by now. I’m taking her to the banquet that’s coming up in a few days!”
Butler Chu was stunned. “The Lu family’s anniversary celebration? Young
Master, are you sure you want Li An’an to go?”
Butler Chu met Chu Yichen’s eyes and lowered his head. He should have understood that the words carved on Li An’an’s shoulder meant that she was the young master’s possession. However, he thought that Young Master only liked her cooking. He did not expect him to want to attend the banquet with her.
Chu Yichen said coldly, “I want to let some people know that no one can play tricks under my nose!”
Butler Chu immediately understood what Chu Yichen meant. He was doing this as a lesson to Miss Gu. She had overstepped her boundaries! Moreover, even without Li An’an, the young master had no interest in her. An arrogant woman like her was only suitable to remain in the Gu family. She must not marry into another family to harm others.
Chu Yichen drank a glass of water and walked towards the dining room. He lost his appetite when he saw the fried eggs and toast on the dining table.
If Li An’an did anything, it was to make him an even fussier eater.
Butler Chu brought out a small steamer from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table with anticipation.
“Young Master, I specially made some snacks for you today. I hope you like it.” Chu Yichen looked very interested. Before he could speak, someone spoke first.
“Oh, what did Butler Chu make? I want to try it too!” Long Ting walked in casually in a white suit. He threw the car keys on the dining table and sat down casually with an expectant expression.
Butler Chu paused. “Young Master Long, what brings you here?”
Long Ting cast him a sidelong glance, his eyes fixed on the thing in his hand. “Why can’t I come? I played cards all night last night and I’m now hungry. So I came here to eat and drink. Are these steamed buns made by Li An’an? Quick, let me try them. I’m starving!” Long Ting reached for it at once.
Butler Chu withdrew the steamer, but his movement was not as fast as Long Ting’s. The lid of the steamer was lifted.
Long Ting’s handsome face was stunned. “What’s this? Something to coax a child…! But I say, it’s actually rather cute.” He picked up a red piglet without reservation and bit it on the butt. As his teeth sank into the meat filling, he commented, “Butler Chu, did you make this? Li An’an would have done a better job.” He felt aggrieved, as though he had been tricked. He had turned up hungry, but in the end, he didn’t get to eat Li An’an’s cooking.
Butler Chu coughed. “But I spent an hour making them and have put in a lot of effort. Moreover, this bun is very novel!”
“That’s not bad then!” Long Ting praised him for his hard work, but the butler was too childish. How old was he, giving Chu Yichen this kind of bun indeed.
Chu Yichen looked coldly at the buns made by the butler. He hesitated for a moment before picking up a green rabbit and biting off its ear. It felt like he was eating a high-end dessert.
Butler Chu was very satisfied. At least his effort spent learning this dish was not for nothing! He felt like he had returned to the time when he was preparing breakfast for Young Master when he was a child. It was so heartwarming!
Chu Yichen and Long Ting each ate a bun and left the villa for the office..
