Chapter 121



121 Ambiguity

Gu Man quickly took two pieces of paper over. Seeing that Xiang Yin’s eyes were narrowed and he was about to cry, he held the knife in one hand and half an onion in the other. Without thinking, she said, “Lower your head. I’ll wipe it for you.”

Xiang Yin turned around and lowered his head slightly. Gu Man reached out and wiped it with a piece of paper. Xiang Yin opened his eyes and saw Gu Man’s clear eyes in front of him. Her slightly curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and a layer of peach fuzz could be seen on her porcelain-white skin

The two of them faced each other, exuding an ambiguous aura.

Gu Man lowered her eyes and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She quickly pretended to throw the tissue and took two steps back.

Xiang Yin, on the other hand, barely maintained his composure. “Go over and sit there. The smell of searing the beef will be a little strong.”

“Okay.”

Soon, Gu Man smelled a fragrance. It smelled good.

She muttered in her heart, Second Master Xiang, a young master who usually looked extremely cold, actually cooked well.

Outside the bungalow, Bai Yun got out of the car and saw that the fourth floor was brightly lit.

Xiang Yin did not often come to stay at the bungalow here. Most of the time, he still stayed at the Xiang Family’s place. Yesterday, he actually asked the butler to buy ingredients and store them in the fridge. Just now, he anxiously asked him to modify the house contract and bring it to him.

When he heard the price of the third floor from Xiang Yin, his jaw almost fell off. This was two-thirds lower than the market price.

Which person could make Second Master Xiang personally show them the house but also lower the price by so much?

Bai Yun went straight to the fourth floor, the door wasn’t closed.

As soon as he entered, he smelled a fragrance. Bai Yun sniffed. Seared beef?

When he saw Gu Man sitting on the sofa, Bai Yun was surprised. “Gu Man? Why are you here?”

Gu Man looked up and said calmly, “I’m here to look at the house.”

“The house on the third floor?” Bai Yun asked in surprise.

“Yes, Second Master Xiang said that his friend is going to sell it. I came to take a look,” Gu Man said calmly. Then, she lowered her head and continued to scroll through the webpage on her phone.

Bai Yun opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he obediently closed it.

Alright, he now understood that Xiang Yin had so many tricks up his sleeve because of a girl.

Bai Yun nodded imperceptibly and asked, “Where’s Second Master?”

Gu Man pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

Just as Bai Yun was about to enter the kitchen, he saw Xiang Yin carrying a plate out. Bai Yun looked at Xiang Yin as if he did not recognize him.

How was Xiang Yin’s solicitousness the cold-eyed Second Master Xiang?

Xiang Yin glanced at Bai Yun. “Don’t just stand there. Go help me get the salad from the kitchen.”

Bai Yun immediately cursed in his heart. He was too unkind. He had rushed here without even touching the ground. He had not even sat down when he entered the house and was already instructed to do the work of carrying trays.

However, when he thought about how this was Xiang Yin’s territory and that he still had to eat his food later, he decided to endure it.

Bai Yun took out a plate of salad. Xiang Yin had already set up the cutlery and handed a portion of beef to Gu Man.

Gu Man cut a small piece and put it into her mouth. She immediately narrowed her eyes as if she was enjoying it. After a while, she said, “It’s really good.”

Xiang Yin smiled and said, “This beef from Argentina is the most delicious when cooked to medium. It’s fresh, juicy, and fragrant.”

Bai Yun felt his teeth ache when he saw Xiang Yin’s happy expression. When Second Master Xiang chased after girls, he really looked completely different. What aloofness? What dominance? They were all gone.

However, Gu Man’s attention was all on a piece of beef. Hearing Xiang Yin’s words, she only nodded and continued to cut a piece of beef.

When Bai Yun saw this, he gloated. She wondered how Second Master Xiang would feel when he realized that his charm was inferior to a piece of beef.

Xiang Yin raised his eyelids and glanced at Bai Yun. He said angrily, “Why aren’t you sitting down to eat?”

Bai Yun was furious. Was he being despised?

Just as he sat down, Xiang Yin asked, “You brought the contract?”

“Yes, there.” Bai Yun raised his chin and pointed at the sofa.

“Why are you in such a hurry? You took a fancy to it at a glance?” Bai Yun asked Gu Man.

Gu Man nodded and said, “There’s no need to look too much. It’s good in all aspects and the price is very worth it.”

When Bai Yun heard this, he thought to himself, How could it not be worth it? If it was possible, Xiang Yin wanted to give it away for free.

Xiang Yin then fawned over Gu Man. “Try this salad with some Argentine Malbec red wine. I wonder if you’re used to it?”

Bai Yun despised him in his heart. Who said that Second Master Xiang was single against his will? That was because he couldn’t be bothered to in the past. Now that he was willing, the tricks came one after another.
