Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion-Chapter 254 - Squat Down and Search
Chapter 254: Squat Down and Search
CLANK! Someone accidentally knocked over the plate that contained the deshelled prawns Mo Jiangye had peeled for his wife, which had been beside Ye Erruo, scattering the food all over the floor.
“What the hell are you guys doing?” yelled the prison chief harshly.
“I-I’m sorry. I’m so sorry…” One of them hastily crouched down and cleaned up the floor.
“Allow me to serve you your drink.” Another woman took the kettle and smilingly stepped forward to squeeze in between the couple. While doing so, she attempted to shove Ye Erruo aside with her body.
Mo Jiangye, who was in a rare good mood, did not flare up at once, though danger could be seen all over his gloomy face. Despite being so close to the man, the lady pouring him his drink was so infatuated with him that she failed to detect that anything was amiss.
Ye Erruo slowly put her chopsticks down. “Leave the kettle behind. I’ll pour it for him.”
Thinking that it was her colleague who was talking to her, the kitchen maid refused right away. “You just need to serve the dishes. I’ll do the pouring.”
Trickle…
Her eyes were seemingly glued to the dashing man, so she failed to even notice that the water in the cup had overflowed.
An awkward atmosphere descended upon the entire dining table.
“Put it down and get out of here!” The prison chief raised his voice at her.
“O-Okay. Oh, no… I’m so sorry! I poured too much water! Did I scald you, Young Master Mo?” The kitchen lady hastily reached for the napkin on the table and wiped the water marks while her hand slowly made its way toward his.
Ye Erruo’s face darkened when she noticed this small action of the other woman. She rose to her feet at once and pulled her away from her man.
“What are you doing?” asked the woman in displeasure, so mesmerized by the man’s beauty that she completely forgot who and where she was.
“Were you scalded, hubby?” She sat right in her husband’s lap and poured his cup of water onto the floor.
The other woman’s face turned an awful shade from embarrassment right there and then.
Mo Jiangye, who was about to explode from fury, was immediately soothed. His mood improved again when his wife sat in his lap and, in particular, poured that cup of water away.
“Yes. It hurts.” He lifted his hand to show the tiny water droplet on his finger.
She wiped it away with her hand.
“It still hurts.”
Her lips twitched as she said with a smile, “I’ll blow on it then.”
“Okay.”
Thus, the woman, whose heart ached for her man, proceeded to blow on his finger. The atmosphere became awkward in the room.
“Why are you all still standing behind Young Master Mo? Hurry up and get lost!”
“O-Okay.” Despite their verbal agreement, the kitchen ladies standing beside them slowly took their time to serve up the dishes and would, from time to time, sneak glances at the man. They had never seen such a perfect being in their lives.
“Why are you still standing around Young Master Mo?” The prison chief’s face flushed red in anger.
“I-I’m here on standby to serve drinks to Young Master Mo at all times.”
Ye Erruo’s lips curled. “No need for that. You may leave.”
That lady shot a disgruntled look at her in return. The jealousy dripping from her made her eyes glow red.
“Understood.”
She then dejectedly took the kettle and got ready to leave.
“Hold on,” Mo Jiangye said.
Her eyes lit up at once. “Yes? Is there anything you need?”
As he hooked his arm around Ye Erruo, he looked up at her. The kitchen lady felt her heart fluttering and her breathing becoming rapid because of that one look. How pretty those eyes are…
The man curled his lips up coldly. “Clean her shoes.”
The nerve she must have to yell at my woman and shove her aside! Huh!
He extended a hand to lift Ye Erruo’s legs. There were several tiny oil splotches on her black knee-length boots, which probably had been stained when the plate of prawns had been knocked over. However, they could hardly be discerned.
The woman asked in confusion, “What am I supposed to clean when her boots are not even dirty?”
He ordered her coldly, “Squat down and search.”
