Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Fourth Master is Quite Tsundere

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ming Yao portrayed a panicky, bashful, bewildered, and timid little maid to the extreme.

Although her appearance was unremarkable, the tears swirling in her eyes made her look truly pitiable.

When Yanxi saw her like this, a protective desire surged from the depths of his heart.

Her explanation didn’t sound like it was her fault after all!

With Fourth Brother’s powerful aura, which woman wouldn’t be afraid of him?

Sometimes, when Fourth Brother got angry, even he was somewhat intimidated, let alone this little maid who had just started working at the Imperial Garden!

Yanxi took another look at the food she had prepared as an apology—it was quite sincere.

She could make cat food so delicious that people would lick their fingers, let alone food for humans!

Yanxi turned back to look at the man standing expressionlessly at the kitchen door, “Fourth Brother, she seems quite innocent, maybe we should just let it slide!”

Gu Siting’s black eyes, sharp and cold, swept over Ming Yao.

Ming Yao immediately lowered her head, shoulders drooping, her whole body trembling.

As if she was terrified to the extreme.

He pursed his thin, cool lips tightly, his voice low and chilly as he spoke, “Go out to eat.”

“Fourth Master, I made you dinner, and the taste won’t be worse than what’s outside,” came the little maid’s weak voice.

Gu Siting glanced at her.

She lowered her head even more, her body seemed to tremble more violently.

Gu Siting’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Was he that terrifying?@@novelbin@@

“Fourth Brother, the little maid is almost done preparing the meal, why don’t we just eat at your house?”

Gu Siting glanced at the few dishes already prepared on the kitchen counter, and thinking of the previous cat food’s deliciousness, he didn’t reject or agree but turned and walked outside.

Yanxi smiled and patted Ming Yao on the shoulder, “Fourth Brother is quite tsundere; if he didn’t refuse, it means he accepted!”

Ming Yao glanced at Yanxi’s large hand on her shoulder, almost giving him a shoulder throw.

“Young Master Yan, you should go out, there’s a lot of smoke in the kitchen.”

Ming Yao took Yanxi’s hand off her shoulder.

Was it Yanxi’s imagination or did this plain-looking little maid seem to disdain him?

…

Ming Yao had prepared five dishes and one soup.

Okra with shrimp, tea oil pork stomach with eggs, minced meat braised yams, steamed bass, lion’s head meatballs, and so on.

Looking at the table full of colorful, aromatic, and scrumptious dishes, Yanxi clicked his tongue in appreciation.

“Fourth Brother, you’ve found a treasure in this little maid! Her cooking skills are actually this good!” Suddenly, he felt the impulse to poach her for his own home.

Mu Chengjin, after seeing the dishes on the table, a flicker of confusion crossed his clear eyes.

Why did the food prepared by the little maid look a bit similar to that of that blogger?

But as far as he knew, that blogger came from a very wealthy family and lived in Europe, so it was impossible for her to be working as a maid at Fourth Brother’s house.

“Three young masters, I don’t know if my cooking is to your taste, please try it,” Ming Yao stood in the corner of the dining room, all timid and extremely respectful.

Yanxi looked at Gu Siting and waited for him to pick up his chopsticks before he and Chengjin began to eat.

After taking a bite, Yanxi couldn’t help but let out three consecutive exclamations, “Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit—”

It was so delicious!

Better than what a five-star hotel or a Michelin-starred chef could make.

No, to be precise, it wasn’t as fancy but had the taste of homemade food, which could capture a person’s stomach in just one bite.

“Fourth Brother, Chengjin, you both find it tasty too, right?”

Gu Siting glanced at Ming Yao in the corner, “You can not only organize and tidy up, but you can also cook gourmet food, where did you work before?”

Ming Yao replied softly, “I previously served in a young master’s house as well, but the master was temperamental, cold, and unfriendly. I accidentally broke a bowl once, and he fired me.”

Gu Siting, “…” He felt implicitly criticized.
