She drove back to her villa in the suburbs. When she passed by Fang Yao’s house, the butler was trimming the flowers and plants in the courtyard. When he saw Yin Xun’s car, he immediately came out to greet her. “Miss Yin, you’re back a little late today. It just so happens that our Young Master has just returned as well. Come over and have a meal. ‘
Yin Xun rolled down the car window and was about to refuse when the butler continued, ‘The kitchen prepared crispy squab and swan today. It’s just finished. It’s time for a fresh and delicious meal. If we wait any later, the taste will change.”
As if he deliberately wanted to entice Yin Xun, the butler even described in detail what the dish was like and how it tasted. His words were vivid and comparable to a food critic.
Yin Xun was tempted. She had not eaten much at home just now, but now that she heard the butler’s description, she felt particularly hungry. Just as she was about to say yes, she heard someone call her.
“Yin Xun, why are you only back now? I’ve been waiting for you for ages!’
Yin Xun looked ahead. Liu Ying was standing at the entrance of her courtyard and calling out to her. At this moment, Liu Ying was still wearing an apron and a cooking hat. She looked like a professional chef.
The butler also heard the voice and walked to the door curiously to see what was going on.
“Miss Liu Ying?’ When he saw Liu Ying standing in front of Yin Xun’s house, he was shocked and immediately became vigilant.
He knew all about the incident ofYin Xun’s bodyguards capturing Liu Ying that night.
From the conversation back then, he could tell that the two of them did not have a good relationship. He also heard from the servants that Yin Xun had once sent Liu Ying to prison. That matter caused a huge commotion, and many people were mocking the Liu family for it.
In the past, Liu Ying at least was secretive when trying to challenge Yin Xun. Now, she had come to Yin Xun’s house directly. The butler looked at Liu Ying warily. It just so happened that Fang Yao was at home now. If Liu Ying tried to do anything to Yin Xun, he would let Fang Yao handle the situation. It would be a good opportunity for Fang Yao to show off in front of Yin Xun.
“Miss Yin, if you have anything to say, you should tell our Young Master. You two are business partners, and he will surely protect you from harm. You don’t have to worry if someone comes looking for you at your house.” As the butler spoke, his gaze swept past Liu Ying; his meaning was very obvious.
Yin Xun understood what the butler meant. She knew that if she explained it directly, the butler would feel embarrassed, so she pretended to introduce Liu Ying. “Uncle Butler, let me introduce you. Liu Ying is another business partner of mine now. ‘
“Partner?” The butler was a little surprised, but he caught on quickly. He smiled and said, “Miss Yin is indeed amazing.”
Liu Ying thought that Yin Xun did not hear her, so she walked over to them. She smiled at the butler in greeting, then said to Yin Xun, “You’re the big boss, but you’re still working overtime. To think you’d be back so late. I’ve already reheated the food. I was afraid of calling in case I interrupted your work. After all, you still have to earn money. If it’s reheated any longer, it won’t taste good.
Hurry up and eat.”
After saying that, Liu Ying walked back to the villa.
The butler asked Yin Xun, “Miss Yin, Miss Liu Ying is…cooking at your house?” His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Yin Xun nodded. ‘That’s right. Uncle Butler, please help me tell Fang Yao that Liu Ying will be cooking at my house in the future, so I won’t go over to eat with him like before. Thank you for taking care of me in the past. I’ve been intruding on your hospitality for too long. It’s embarrassing. ”
Originally, Yin Xun had planned to go to Fang Yao’s house to eat, but since Liu Ying had left food for her, she would just go home to eat.
After all, it was not good to always go to Fang Yao’s house for meals. It was fine if done occasionally, but if she went every day, what if she delayed his business dealings? It was also possible he was just being polite. What if he felt uncomfortable offering her meals but was too embarrassed to say it?
She never liked to trouble others, so when she went to Fang Yao’s house for dinner, she always gave him gifts. She was afraid that she would be annoying if she ate and drank for free.
Now, she had Liu Ying. In any case, Yin Xun would provide the ingredients while Liu Ying would be in charge of cooking. Both of them would gain from this. It was perfect.
After explaining to the butler and bidding him farewell, Yin Xun drove straight back.
As he watched Yin Xun leave, the butler suddenly had an ugly expression on his face. Then, he ran off to look for Fang Yao.
“Young Master, something bad has happened. Miss Yin Xun said that she will no longer come to our house to eat. She has someone cooking for her now!”
At this moment, Fang Yao was reading a book in the study and waiting for Yin Xun. When he heard the butler’s words, he revealed a surprised expression. He asked, “She hired a chef?”
The butler shook his head. “Not quite. It’s Miss Liu Ying. Miss Yin Xun said that
Miss Liu Ying will cook for her in the future.”
