The maid finished speaking and left, leaving Ye Wan standing there in a daze. Miss Ling? The woman Young Master Gu brought back yesterday that Sun Ma mentioned? He... spent the night with that woman?
Ye Wan didn't know why, but her mood suddenly worsened, and her headache intensified. She closed the door and turned into the bathroom. She sat on the toilet and almost fell asleep again. A loud knocking from outside startled her awake.
Another maid came to call her, her eyes filled with a mixture of sympathy and schadenfreude, just like the previous maid. After all, Ye Wan used to be the one dining with the Young Master, and now she could only stand and serve.
"Hurry up, the Young Master and Miss Ling are already eating. They're waiting for you in the dining room to serve them."
"Got it." Ye Wan said, then closed the door again. This time, she went to the bathroom to wash her face, trying to clear her head. She came out, changed her clothes, and headed to the dining room.
Ye Wan knew Gu Yun Ting was angry. The gift issue was a misunderstanding. She never expected Gu Yun Ting to think both gifts were for him. It was her oversight. Sun Ma's personality meant she would definitely show off to Gu Yun Ting. She had mentioned it to Ye Wan a few times, but Ye Wan hadn't denied it strongly enough, making Sun Ma think she was just too shy to admit it.
The main thing was she truly hadn't expected Gu Yun Ting to anticipate her gift.
As Ye Wan entered the dining room, she heard laughter. The Gu residence was usually filled with a somber atmosphere, and Gu Yun Ting was known for his stern demeanor. It was rare to hear joyful laughter.
Ling Feifei didn't know who Ye Wan, summoned by Gu Yun Ting, actually was. She thought she was just a lowly maid. But when she saw the girl walk in, her expression turned ugly.
The Gu residence actually had such a beautiful vixen!
Because Ye Wan was not feeling well, her face lacked color, making her skin appear even fairer, as if she were made of crystal. Her palm-sized face was adorned with intense features, yet her aura was pure and unadulterated. Her extreme allure was matched by her purity, two traits that should have been contradictory but on her face, they created an exquisite beauty. Her long hair was as lustrous as brocade.
Ling Feifei now understood that the vixen-like beauty described in books truly existed. This girl was excessively beautiful; at least, her own face was completely inadequate in comparison.
Sun Ma stood respectfully to the side. As Ye Wan walked in, she stood expressionlessly beside Sun Ma. She was feeling too dizzy and weak to do anything.
"A Ting, she's also a maid in our house, and she's quite pretty," Ling Feifei said, trying to gauge Gu Yun Ting's attitude.
Gu Yun Ting's expression was icy, and his voice was like shards of ice. "Pretty, but still just a maid."
Ye Wan showed no reaction to this. She was genuinely feeling unwell and didn't want to listen to anyone.
Hearing this, Ling Feifei felt confident. She immediately said, "Hey, you who just came in, come over and cut my steak for me."
Sun Ma, noticing Ye Wan's discomfort, walked over proactively. "I'll cut it for Miss Ling."
"No need for you, I want *her* to cut it." Ling Feifei cast a disdainful glance at Sun Ma, her eyes full of contempt.
Ye Wan, her head throbbing, reacted slowly. Gu Yun Ting slammed his knife and fork down forcefully and sneered, "What? Can't you boss her around anymore?"
With Gu Yun Ting's backing, Ling Feifei became even more arrogant, her chin held high in a condescending manner.
Ye Wan had no choice but to endure her dizziness and walk over. She took the steak plate and carefully cut the steak into bite-sized pieces before presenting it to Ling Feifei. "Miss Ling, please enjoy."
"I'm asking if you're stupid! Don't you know how to do anything? Can I eat a piece this big! You need to cut it into smaller pieces!" Ling Feifei deliberately picked a fight.
