Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Resign or Finish a Bag of Cat Food

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ming Yao felt a tingling on her scalp under the shadowy gaze of the man.

“Actually, people can eat it too…” It just had some cat food mixed in, eating it wouldn’t cause any problems.

Gu Siting’s facial features instantly tensed, his eyes cold and sharp.

Thinking about the cat food he had just eaten, his stomach churned.

He reached out and pointed at Ming Yao, his jaw clenched, and strode upstairs.

It wasn’t long before Ming Yao also heard a retching sound.

She was done for!

With Tyrant Gu’s temperament, there’s no way she would be let off after he came back down.

She had only worked here a few days and didn’t want to be fired so soon!

Mu Chengjin looked at Ming Yao, who was hanging her head, lost in thought, and an apologetic expression appeared on his refined and graceful face, “I’m sorry, I should not have told Fourth Brother it was cat food earlier. Don’t worry, when Fourth Brother comes down, I will plead on your behalf.”

Ming Yao let out a breath, “You all haven’t had dinner yet, right?”

Mu Chengjin thought the little maid had been scared into tears by Fourth Master, but he didn’t expect that there wasn’t much fear or panic in her eyes, instead, there was a calm composure.

As if she was confident in her ability to handle such a crisis.

Even though she was not particularly attractive, there was an air about her that was impossible to ignore.

“Not yet, planning to go out to eat later.”

“No need to go out, I’ve offended Fourth Master and Young Master Yan, I’ll cook a meal as an apology!”

Ming Yao headed for the kitchen.

Mu Chengjin watched her retreating figure, a smile unconsciously appearing on his handsome face.

This girl was indeed confident and interesting.

How could she be so sure that the food she made would definitely earn Fourth Brother’s forgiveness?

…

Half an hour later.

Gu Siting came down from upstairs.

Though he had already vomited, his stomach was still quite upset, quite nauseating.

“Fourth Brother, how do you plan to deal with that little maid?” Yanxi was quite upset, having completely forgotten that he had been the one eager to eat earlier.

Gu Siting pursed his crimson lips, his eyes and brows sharp and cold, “What do you think?”@@novelbin@@

“Either she resigns, or she finishes a bag of cat food!”

Gu Siting, “That’s not a bad idea!”

Mu Chengjin cleared his throat lightly, “Fourth Brother, I think that little maid didn’t do it on purpose, how about we let it slide?”

“How can we let it slide?” Yanxi raised his eyebrows, “She watched with open eyes as you and I ate cat food and didn’t say a word, just watched us being treated like cats—”

He still thought earlier that cat food tasted better than the food from big restaurants out there; his eager anticipation turned out to be in vain!

Gu Siting said nothing more, his hand in his pocket, he strode towards the kitchen.

Just reaching the dining room’s entrance, he caught a whiff of a tantalizing aroma.

Through the clear glass door, a slender and graceful figure was busy inside.

The figure’s back, faintly resembled that of the woman he loathed.

Gu Siting walked over, pulled open the glass door, and was about to say something with a stern face when, from behind him, came Yanxi’s sound of swallowing, “Wow, what is this that smells so good?”

As the Yan Family’s young master, there was no delicacy Yanxi hadn’t tasted, but he was still instantly captivated by the fragrance coming from the kitchen.

Yanxi took several quick steps into the kitchen.

Seeing the dishes Ming Yao had prepared, he gulped, “What are you making these for?”

Ming Yao understood the thoughts of these young masters all too well, not punishing her after eating cat food would definitely make them uncomfortable.

Perhaps cooking a meal might absolve her of her ‘crime’.

Ming Yao raised her head, appearing to tremble, “When Fourth Master came back, I went to hug Little Snowball, and as soon as I arrived at the dining room, I saw him eat a few bites of cat food. I was so scared at that moment I didn’t dare to remind him.”

“I hadn’t even recovered from the panic when you arrived and gobbled up the remaining cat food. I was even more frightened then.”

“Young Master Yan, I didn’t do it on purpose… ying…” Knowing that Tyrant Gu was standing at the kitchen door, she deliberately sobbed.
