Chapter 129
An Ruo didn’t say anything and turned back to the living room.
For two consecutive days, Tang Yuchen hadn’t returned, and An Ruo tried to go out every day, but still couldn’t leave.
She didn’t want to stay in the villa; she decided to call Tang Yuchen to let her go out for a walk.
When he heard her voice on the phone, the man was very surprised.
An Ruo got straight to the point, “I want to go for a walk, let them let me pass.”
The man on the other end chuckled lightly, “I can let you out, but it depends on if your behavior has been good.”
“It’s up to you!” An Ruo hung up the phone directly, not wanting to negotiate with him at all.
Negotiating would only be to her disadvantage; she wouldn’t foolishly negotiate with him anymore.
Sitting in the living room, bored and watching TV, when dinner time arrived, An Ruo saw the servant bring the prepared food to the table, and she immediately got up and started to eat a bowl of rice.
The servant hesitated, then stammered to her, “Young Lady… the young master will be back soon…”
The implication was for her to wait and eat with Tang Yuchen when he returned.
An Ruo pretended not to hear: “I’m hungry.”
“You could have some snacks first…”
“What! Are you even trying to control what I eat?!” An Ruo gave her a displeased glare; Uncle Tao immediately came forward, pulled the servant away, and hinted that she should say nothing.
An Ruo continued to eat, and by the time she finished a bowl of rice, Tang Yuchen had just returned to the living room.
“Young Master, the Young Lady was hungry, so she ate a bit first…” Uncle Tao hurriedly explained to him, hoping he wouldn’t blame An Ruo.
After all, as the head of the family, everyone had to respect him, and nobody could be presumptuous in front of him.
For the Young Lady to eat before he came back clearly showed disrespect and disregard for him.
Tang Yuchen looked at An Ruo and waved his hand at Uncle Tao, not saying anything.
He sat down and immediately a servant prepared a bowl of rice for him: “Young Master, please enjoy your meal.”
Tang Yuchen’s eyes lazily fixed on An Ruo, yet she didn’t glance at him once.
Seeing that she had a good appetite, the man’s lips curved into a shallow smile.
He picked up the chopsticks, just about to start eating, when suddenly An Ruo sneezed loudly, causing Tang Yuchen to halt mid-action.
“Achoo—” An Ruo sneezed fiercely again before putting down her chopsticks and said indifferently, “I’m full, enjoy your meal.”
“…”
She got up and walked away. The man slapped his chopsticks on the table with a sound that was neither light nor heavy, yet it made the entire living room fall silent.
With her back to him, An Ruo sneered coldly.
I did it on purpose, let’s see how you eat!
Feeling triumphant, she headed upstairs, but from behind her came the man’s faint voice, “Stop right there!”
An Ruo turned around, asking innocently, “What’s the matter?”
But Tang Yuchen smiled and said, “Suddenly, I feel like eating the food you make. Go to the kitchen and make me two dishes.”
“Sorry, I’m not your servant, I don’t have the duty to serve you.”
“Of course you’re not my servant, servants just take my salary in exchange for their work. As for you, I bought you with my money. To put it bluntly, you are my servant; I am your master. Whatever I tell you to do, you must do!”
An Ruo scoffed, “Sorry, I wasn’t aware you bought me. All I know is that the one hundred million was a betrothal gift; you have to give a betrothal gift if you want to marry me. Otherwise, did you think you could marry me for free? There’s no such good deal in the world!”
