Chapter 31: Ninth Master Successfully Defuses the Crisis
Ninth Master clearly has no particular demands for food! He always eats whatever is prepared! But today, Ninth Master not only personally ordered the dishes but also told Miss An Yan that these few dishes, which he claimed he’d never eaten, were his usual favorites! This... The chef seemed to have an epiphany. He summoned all his enthusiasm and dashed into the kitchen, vowing to be Ninth Master’s divine support!
After dinner, the chef presented a platter of beautifully arranged fruit.
An Yan’s eyes lit up instantly.
Conditions in the mountains were limited; growing up, the fruit she ate was always served whole. She would just peel it and take a bite; there was never any artistry to speak of.
The chef smiled silently. I’m one step closer to a raise, he mused.
Li Tianyao forked a piece of apple and handed it to An Yan.
The apple was crisp, sweet, and bursting with juice.
An Yan couldn’t help but squint her eyes in blissful satisfaction.
"Little girl, this thumb ring looks quite old. Where did you get it?" Li Tianyao asked.
An Yan swallowed the apple and replied, "It was given to me by a friend of my grandfather’s."
"For him to give you something so valuable, he must have had a very close relationship with your grandfather."
