NOVEL WEB Chapter 15
Chapter 15: Rich and Powerful Young Master is a Little Cold 15 Ah Zhao came out of the room but she suddenly remembered something. She turned and knocked on Xiao Yan’s door.
“Teacher?” The teenager just finished taking a shower. His hair still has traces of water and was softly sticking to his cheek.
Ah Zhao pointed downstairs: “Let’s go down and eat?”
Xiao Yan hesitated.
Ah Zhao looked unhappy: “Have you forgotten already what teacher told you? You promised the teacher that you’d change.”
She looked at the teenager who looked to be in a dilemma but eventually nodded.
Ah Zhao is very happy.
The two people finally arrived at the dining room.
There’s only food for one person on the table.
When she saw Xiao Yan coming, Aunt Zhang who was carrying porridge to the table was surprised: “Young Master Xiao Yan, What are you doing down here?”
Xiao Yan subconsciously looked at Ah Zhao.
Ah Zhao didn’t speak but she gave him an encouraging look.
It’s obvious what she was implying: Let him speak for himself.
Xiao Yan froze at once. Ah Zhao noticed that his fist was clenched tightly, apparently very nervous.
“I…… I will eat here later.” Xiao Yan said one word at a time.
Aunt Zhang froze for a moment and subconsciously said: “I’m going to ask the butler……”
Ah Zhao interrupted her: “Why? Is the butler the master here?”
Aunt Zhang shook her head quickly: “but……”
Ah Zhao pulled Xiao Yan to sit down: “It doesn’t matter but, does Xiao Yan have to ask for other people’s consent to eat a meal?”
Aunt Zhang embarra.s.sedly voiced her answer: “Then I’ll be going to prepare the cutlery.”
Back in the kitchen, Aunt Zhang’s face suddenly fell.
“Pah! Did you really think you are the protagonist?” She took a pair of chopsticks and a bowl indignantly.
Another maid who also helps in the kitchen asked curiously: “Who made you angry?”
“It’s that Xu Zhao shaming me. I, Zhang Lan, have been working here for so many years. The butler doesn’t even say anything bad to me. Just who does she think she is……”Aunt Zhang chattered endlessly.
The maid shook her head: “She is invited by the Madam. Who knows what her background is. And looking at the sort of person Miss Xu is, she doesn’t seem to be leaving this place in a long time. We shouldn’t provoke her.”
Aunt Zhang sighed and murmured a few more indignant words then went out again.
Ah Zhao didn’t know that Aunt Zhang had so much complaints on her.
Of course, even if she knows, she wouldn’t care.(TL: I like how these authors write something like “She doesn’t know that people are talking about her but even if she knows, she wouldn’t care.”)
Other than her thinking about her mission target, Xiao Yan, she doesn’t have any obligation to care about other people’s emotions.
“This porridge is not bad. Taste it.” She gave Xiao Yan a bowl of porridge.
Xiao Yan obediently drank it down and put down his chopsticks.
Ah Zhao silently looked at the other’s hands hold the bowl delicately. How can a boy in his growth stage eat so little?
“Are you full?” She asked.
Xiao Yan nodded.
The next second, he had two more buns in his bowl.
“You eat so little. No wonder you’re so weak.” Ah Zhao gave him a disapproving look.(TL: Ah Zhao has a poison tongue. She hits just where it hurts. I hear Xiao Yan’s heart breaking into pieces.)
Xiao Yan looked at her with his eyes wide open.
“The cla.s.s later isn’t going to be easy. You should eat more.”
Xiao Yan didn’t say anything. He silently ate the two buns in his bowl.
Ah Zhao was satisfied and began eating her own meal.
After the two people were done with their meals, Xiao got up but he inadvertently collided with Aunt Zhang who came to clean up the dishes.
Not too serious, Aunt Zhang exaggeratedly cried out, making Xiao Yan be careful next time.
Xiao Yan didn’t speak. He went straight to the bathroom.
In the bathroom.
The faucet’s water was turned to the maximum. Xiao Yan seemed to be on edge and kept rubbing his hand.
