Guan Tang raised her hand and called the helper over. Then, she made sure everyone could hear her as she said in a low voice, “Why didn’t you bring out the wine that Master treasures?”

The helper was briefly stunned before she turned to look at Yin Bin?

Yin Bin laughed out loud. “Guan Tang, you’re still the most meticulous and considerate. Alright, go. Bring out the bottle of aged wine from the wine cellar. I want to drink with Ye Cheng today.”

Ye Cheng hurriedly said, “Uncle, my alcohol tolerance isn’t very good. You have to go easy on me.”

Yin Bin was even happier upon hearing these words. He thought that a modest young man like Ye Cheng was truly rare.

Guan Tang glanced at Ye Cheng. Seeing that Ye Cheng did not even look at her, she grew even more annoyed. After a while, she rose to her feet gently. When she saw Guan Ning looking at her, she leaned forward and whispered something into Guan Ning’s ear.

Then, Guan Ning said, “Alright. Quickly go and see why it hasn’t been served yet.”

Guan Tang turned around with a smile. From the corners of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Ye Cheng looking at her curiously.

Guan Tang went to the kitchen to check on the duck soup. She discovered it had not been served because it was still being heated. In fact, she only used this as an excuse to leave the table. She wanted to gamble and bet on Ye Cheng.

She leaned against a wall somewhere close to the kitchen next to a small table. Then, she picked up the book on the small table and casually flipped through it.

Soon after, she heard the sounds of footsteps coming from the side, but she did not turn around. When the footsteps stopped next to her, she heard a gentle voice ask, “Why is Miss Guan here?”

Guan Tang looked up and feigned a flustered expression. She said shyly, “Mr. Ye? Ah, I mean, brother-in-law…”

Ye Cheng smiled. “Why didn’t you return to the dining room”

Guan Tang hurriedly pointed to the kitchen and said, “I’m waiting for the duck soup to be ready. It’s the chef’s specialty. You have to try it later, brother-in-law.”

The smile on Guan Tang’s face was pure and cute.

“Why wait here? You can eat while you wait,” Ye Cheng said with a smile.

Guan Tang glanced at Ye Cheng before she lowered her gaze. Her smile disappeared from her face as she said softly, “It’s fine. I’ll wait here. Brother-in-law, go eat. I’ll be back in a while.”

Ye Cheng’s interest was piqued. “What’s going on?”

Guan Tang hastily said, “It’s nothing. Brother-in-law, you better hurry back. Otherwise, Sister will be angry.”

Then, Guan Tang looked behind Ye Cheng with a panicked expression as though she was worried Yin Jia would suddenly show up.

Ye Cheng’s smile faded immediately. “Are you afraid of her?”

Guan Tang’s smile looked very forced as she said, “No, it’s not like that. Why would I be afraid? I, I lost my parents when I was young so I grew up here. Everyone treats me very, very well.”

As Guan Tang spoke, her head lowered even more.

Ye Cheng remained silent.

After a moment, Guan Tang raised her head tentatively to look at Ye Cheng. When she saw he was looking at her with a profound gaze, she forced a smile on her face and said, “Brother-in-law, go and eat.”

Guan Tang’s smile was so fragile that it made those who saw it feel bad for her.

Ye Cheng said softly, “If there’s anything you need my help with, you can just say it. A girl has to live happily.”

Guan Tang raised her head and looked at Ye Cheng in surprise. Tears shone in her eyes. Her expression showed that she was both touched and grateful.

With that, Ye Cheng smiled before he turned to leave.

In just a moment, Guan Tang’s tears vanished, and her smile grew wider. She was truly very good at acting. She thought to herself smugly, ‘I knew it’s impossible for you not to notice me.’

At this time, a helper came over and said respectfully, “Miss Guan, the soup is ready.”

“Alright, I’ll bring it out,” Guan Tang said frostily.

Then, the helper handed a pair of gloves to Guan Tang to prevent her hands from getting scalded.
