Chapter 629: Report
Xiu Jie nodded.
He was about to turn around and follow Elder Miss’s order and ask the man to come in, when Gu Chaoyan stopped him. “Hang on!”
Xiu Jie was confused, not sure what happened.
Gu Chaoyan said calmly, “You don’t have to go there now. Come and take a sip of this Wuyi Tea, you may not have tried it before. We have very little left, so Sword One only makes this kind of tea for me.”
Xiu Jie did not think it was proper to drink such precious tea with Elder Miss here. He was just a servant.
He turned her offer down and said, “Elder Miss, I think I can skip it…”
Before he was able to finish his words, Gu Chaoyan blinked at him.
Now Xiu Jie realized that Elder Miss did not intend to ask him to pa.s.s on the message so quickly. He felt like laughing, but did not dare to. It seemed that Elder Miss did not like the Imperial Master either.
However, he still did not dare to share the same table with Elder Miss to drink tea. He regarded Elder Miss as someone superior. He was not going to share the same table with her unless he was qualified to do so.
He took a cup of tea and said, “I will drink the tea outside, and I will try to make the process long enough.”
Before Gu Chaoyan said anything, he hurried away.
Gu Chaoyan felt helpless. She laughed and continued with her tea.
Xiu Jie had changed since they first met. The more time they spent together, the more lovely he seemed to be.
Xiu Jie did not go and pa.s.s on the message until one hour later.
The Imperial Master was already s.h.i.+vering from the coldness. He had so much snow on him and his face had turned pale. The moment Xiu Jie opened the door, the Imperial Master was staring at him with a furious look, saying nothing.
Xiu Jie looked tall and strong. He was someone with some martial arts skills. Since the Imperial Master had no guards with him today for this private matter, he did not dare to do anything about this guy despite anger. So he followed him obediently.
Gu Chaoyan was not going to meet the Imperial Master alone in her own yard. Instead, they met at the lobby of the mansion, a room that had never been used before.
When Xiu Jie was leading the way, the Imperial Master found the whole thing strange. “Are you planning on something? It is not the right path.”
Xiu Jie turned to him expressionlessly. “That is the way to the lobby.”
“But that is different from the place we went to when Manager Song and Prince were here.” The Imperial Master said resolutely.
“Well, it was because Manager Song was with you last time, so Elder Miss met you guys in her own yard, but today, Manager Song is not here, so of course she is not meeting you in her own yard. You are the Imperial Master, and you should know this manner, right? Well, is it like that in your own country?” Xiu Jie snapped unhappily.
He was working for the mansion, and it was he who should decide how to treat the guests. What was this man being so dissatisfied with? Elder Miss was not opening her own yard to any strange man!
The Imperial Master was speechless. He glared at Xiu Jie unhappily, but said nothing more. Anything more he said would cause potential rumors for the Feather Mulberry Land.
As they came to the lobby, Gu Chaoyan was already waiting for them there.
She was holding a small hand-fireplace and wearing a coat. She did not get up at the sight of the Imperial Master.
The Imperial Master frowned unhappily… he was the Imperial Master, and she was not greeting him properly! However, as he saw Xiu Jie next to Gu Chaoyan, he pushed down his own anger, but he was still going to reveal the servant’s improper behavior.
He said coldly, “Lady Chaoyan, you had better teach this misbehaved servant. He is not treating me politely and it took him a long while before he came to me with the message. He must have gotten lazy in the middle of the process!”
