Xiao Yao looked at Nanny Li in panic and then looked at Zi Xi.
She tugged at Zi Xi’s sleeve and advised, “Hurry up and apologize to Nanny Li!”
However, Zi Xi was furious and did not listen to her advice at all. “What right do you have to chase me away!”
“Don’t tell me you also think that you’re a master of this family!” Zi Xi was already starting to spout nonsense.
Nanny Li sneered and said, “I don’t expect to ever be a master of this house in my life.”
“But, this is my kitchen! I have the final say!” Nanny Li rudely barked. “You, get out now!”
“Nanny Li, Zi Xi didn’t do it on purpose…” Xiao Yao hurriedly explained for Zi Xi.
“I would be able to tell if she didn’t do it on purpose!” Nanny Li interrupted Xiao Yao’s explanation.
“If you don’t want to go with her, then shut up!” Nanny Li glared at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao tactfully shut her mouth.
It was not that she did not want to help Zi Xi, but this job in the Chu family was really considered a job that one would “lucky to have”.
She did not want to ruin her future because of Zi Xi’s impulsiveness!
Zi Xi’s face was so red that it was turning purple.
She tugged on her clothes tightly and looked past Nanny Li to glare at Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu sighed helplessly.
In the past, she had tried her best to make the Chu family hate her.
At that time, she had put in a lot of effort!
Now, she did not want to…
Why did this “hateful” emotion come so effortlessly?
The more Ye Jiu thought about it, the more she felt wronged…
All of this was Chu Mo’s fault!
Yes! That’s right!
It was all Chu Mo’s fault for making these women think about him!
While she was lamenting about Chu Mo’s damn charm, Ye Jiu felt stabbed in the back.
In the next moment, Zi Xi’s eyes were red and she turned around to run out of the kitchen.
Xiao Yao was dumbfounded on the spot and did not know whether she should chase after her or stay where she was.
“You should leave too!” Nanny Li ordered impatiently.
Xiao Yao seemed to have received a pardon and immediately ran away with her head lowered.
Nanny Li turned around and grabbed Ye Jiu’s hand. She said earnestly, “Miss Ye, don’t worry. You are the only one in Young Master’s heart!”
Ye Jiu grinned and said softly, “I know…”
After learning from Nanny Li for nearly two hours, Ye Jiu finally managed to make two decent love cakes with the help of Nanny Li.
“Young Master will be very happy to see this!” Nanny Li said happily to Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu held the mandarin duck and looked at it carefully. “It’s really beautiful! I hope he will like it.”
After Nanny Li finished cleaning the kitchen, Ye Jiu let her go back to rest.
Ye Jiu came to the large living room and sat down. She wanted to wait for Chu Mo to come back alone.
When it was almost 10 o’clock in the evening, the butler came from the direction of the porch and saw Ye Jiu who was still sitting in the living room.
“Miss Ye, are you still here?” The butler asked curiously.
“I want to wait for Chu Mo to come back…” Ye Jiu rubbed her sore eyes, “Is he back?”
“Young Master just called and said that he will be back in an hour.” The butler revealed Chu Mo’s whereabouts without hesitation.
Ye Jiu nodded and said, “Then I will wait for him.”
“Why don’t you go back and rest? I will tell you when the Young Master comes back!” The butler looked at Ye Jiu’s sleepy look with some heartache.
“It’s okay, I will wait…” Ye Jiu said and could not help but yawn.
The butler was helpless and could only let Ye Jiu continue to wait there.
About ten minutes after the butler left, Ye Jiu sat on the sofa in the living room and fell into a deep sleep.
It was almost 12 o’clock when Chu Mo returned home.
He did not inform the butler to come and pick him up. Instead, he opened the door and walked in.
He admitted that he was running away…
Seeing Ye Jiu’s bright smile today, it was something he had never seen before…
But that smile was not because of him…
In the past two days, Ye Jiu’s changes had made him a little nervous…
He did not know what Ye Jiu was thinking!
Was she trying to stab his heart with a knife again after he was full of hope?
Or was it just that she felt that this kind of warm attitude could further win his trust and in exchange…
He did not know whether he would be welcomed by Heaven or hell?
Chu Mo walked into the living room and headed straight to his room.
Ye Jiu heard the sound of the door opening and was instantly awakened from her sleep.
She stood up from the sofa and felt her head turn red. There were stars in the sky.
Chu Mo obviously did not expect that there would be someone in the living room at this time and was shocked by Ye Jiu.
The two of them looked at each other in horror…
