"Mm," Gu Yunting responded indifferently.
"What did you do today?" Gu Yunting asked.
"Working. What else could I do?"
"If you're short on money, I can pay you a salary."
Gu Yunting remembered that when the previous housekeeper was around, she had indeed done a lot for the Gu residence. The most striking memory was when the housekeeper once asked her to hand-wash all the curtains in the Gu residence. It was the middle of winter, and she wasn't even allowed to use warm water. Later, she fainted from exhaustion, and no one paid attention...
"I don't have time for these things now. I'll take on part-time jobs when I'm free," Ye Wan shook her head. She wouldn't accept anyone's charity; she wanted to earn her own money.
Without waiting for Gu Yunting to say more, Ye Wan went into the kitchen, took out dry noodles and three eggs, and began to prepare the meal. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her arm as white as jade. A small red mole on her forearm stood out vividly against her fair skin, making one want to kiss it.
Two bowls of noodles were quickly prepared, with two eggs added as per Gu Yunting's request. Ye Wan was content with one egg. Looking at the two eggs in his bowl, Gu Yunting felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Just as Ye Wan was about to eat, he said, "This is boring. Go make a small dish."
Ye Wan: "..." The young master is so demanding!
She got up and went to the refrigerator for a small dish. There were pre-made pickles inside, which she took out two plates of and brought to the table.
After sitting down, Ye Wan picked up an egg to eat. Gu Yunting suddenly said, "Why do you have an egg, and I don't?"
Ye Wan: "?"
She looked at his bowl; there were no eggs left. But she had clearly made him two fried eggs?
"That's impossible. There were two just now? Where did the eggs go?" Ye Wan tilted her small head from side to side, searching, and finally her gaze fell on the trash can next to the man.
Gu Yunting raised his hand to push her head and demanded, "Give me half!"
Ye Wan: "!"
She glared furiously at the man in front of her, who looked so self-righteous. He clearly had two eggs! And he still wanted to fight her for her single one!
He was truly lacking in manners!
Ye Wan resigned herself to it, took her egg, broke it in half, and quickly ate her portion.
Gu Yunting: "..."
This time, the division was obvious: one large piece and one small piece. She got the large one, and he got the small one.
Seeing the girl's little ploy, he didn't say anything and lowered his head to eat. It seemed that from now on, it would be best to keep only one egg at home, and sharing it would be more enjoyable.
He forgot that he was the one who had asked her to put two eggs in his bowl next time.
After finishing the noodles, as Ye Wan was clearing the bowls and wiping the table, she saw the two eggs lying in the trash can!
Ye Wan was shocked. He would rather throw away the eggs than share half of hers? How terrible could this person be!
That evening, Gu Yunting came to Ye Wan's room to spend the night. Ye Wan was very tired and said she wanted to sleep and didn't want to move.
Gu Yunting bit her through her clothes and scoffed, "When have you ever moved? Which time hasn't been me moving?"
Ye Wan: "..."
"How about letting Miss Lin move into the Gu residence? That way, she can share half of the burden for me," Ye Wan suggested earnestly.
Gu Yunting's movements suddenly stopped. He propped himself up on his arms as if in disbelief, his eyes red from pressure. "What did you say?"
"I said your future..." Before Ye Wan could finish speaking, Gu Yunting fiercely bit her mouth, silencing her completely.
Ye Wan found it utterly speechless. Hadn't he asked her to repeat herself?
