Tang Yuxiu just kept silent. She already knew about this embarrassing incident; he couldn’t let her know that he ended up like this because he was trying to make porridge for her!
Otherwise, she would laugh herself to death!
This woman already didn’t really fear his authority; now there’s really nothing left at all!
Gu Yan truly didn’t think much about it. There was no way she could imagine that Tang Yuxiu would purposely cook porridge just for her.
"Don’t just stand there, I need to clean up the kitchen."
Tang Yuxiu frowned, "With all those injuries, what are you cleaning up?"
"Can you stand it being so ssy here? The ingredients in the fridge have been there for two days; they need to be cleared out."
Tang Yuxiu glanced at the rice cooker on the kitchen counter that was beyond salvageable and then imagined the ingredients in the fridge that were likely unusable by now. If left unattended, they could easily start to sll.
Just imagining it made him feel unbearable.
"I’ll call You Shuyang to bring soone over to clean up."
Gu Yan was a bit speechless, "Don’t call Assistant You for every little thing, okay? He’s just your work assistant. Why should he have to worry about these personal life trifles? That really makes you look like a kid who hasn’t been weaned!"
To be honest, Gu Yan did feel quite sympathetic towards You Shuyang.
Other assistants finish their work and then go ho to live their own lives.
But he has to do everything.
Managing the boss’s apartnt, finding a place for the boss to eat, even being bothered about household cleanliness, isn’t this essentially a full-ti nanny?
How much is he getting paid for this?
"Who are you calling a kid who hasn’t been weaned!" Tang Yuxiu slightly lifted his chin, his gaze turning a bit dangerous.
Gu Yan instantly realized she spoke too bluntly, her thoughts spilling out unscreened.
She feigned innocence and ignorance, "What did I say? What kid who hasn’t been weaned? I don’t know anything about that."
Tang Yuxiu, "..."
"Since I can’t call You Shuyang, then what do you suggest? With your solitary hand, and not even a nimble left one, are you sure you can handle it? Don’t end up making that hand useless too."
"Is that how you talk! Not a single complint, only picking out the negative to say."
"I’m stating the possibilities."
"Fine, you’re right. Since you look down on , the injured one, so much, then Young Master, with your perfectly healthy and spry body, why don’t you go for it."
"What did you say?" Tang Yuxiu questioned back; he couldn’t have heard wrong, right?
Gu Yan repeated, "I said, you can you up!"
Gu Yan effortlessly quoted a line from a web drama she’d seen before. There was another line following it, but she figured if she said it, Tang Yuxiu would glare at her and probably strangle her.
Tang Yuxiu arrogantly eyed her, "You want to do it myself?"
"Yeah, I thought my aning was quite clear. I can’t do it. In such a big villa, there’s just you, the only person who can move."
What Gu Yan said made perfect sense, but Tang Yuxiu’s face darkened, "Who gave you the courage to order around to do a cleaner’s job."
Cough cough. Gu Yan coughed twice, eagerly looking at Tang Yuxiu, "Isn’t it the courage you gave ? You, caring for your subordinates, caring for the injured, so you’ll have to do it yourself. Don’t worry, boss, I’ll always rember this mont and never ntion it to anyone. Doing good without leaving a na, you’re the real hero behind the scenes."
Gu Yan said a few flattering words, fully playing the sycophant’s role.
Tang Yuxiu slightly lowered his gaze, seemingly seeing a cat with big eyes wagging its tail at him, looking particularly adorable, making him feel helpless.
"Don’t think saying a few nice words will make listen to you." Young Master Tang huffed arrogantly, showing that he wouldn’t fall for her tricks.
Gu Yan pouted, looking at him wistfully, "Since boss, you won’t lift a hand, then I’ll just have to do it myself."
With that, she turned, taking out a large garbage bag from the cupboard, struggled to open it with one hand, then tried to single-handedly put the broken rice cooker into the garbage bag.
Tang Yuxiu initially thought she’d say a few more words, but he didn’t expect her to start doing it herself imdiately.
Watching her laboriously handle things single-handedly, wanting to lift her right hand but finding she couldn’t use it at all, a pang of unwillingness brushed through his heart.
Her silent actions were far more effective than countless flattering words.
He attributed this emotion to the fact that her hand was accidentally stepped on by him, and her previous fever was also caused by him. He felt guilty, so he couldn’t bear it.
"Alright." He took a step forward and grabbed her hand, "You go find so gloves, I’ll do it."
A gleam of satisfaction flashed inside Gu Yan’s mind, but she still put on a troubled face.
"Isn’t that inappropriate? You are the big boss; I’ll feel really embarrassed to let you do it."
Tang Yuxiu gave her a cold look, "Since you know I’m the big boss, can you not ramble on every ti I say sothing?"
Gu Yan, "..."
Does she talk a lot of nonsense? It seems that ever since she t Tang Yuxiu, he has ntioned several tis that she talks too much.
Does she really talk a lot? She’s actually a quiet girl, really, she doesn’t usually talk much with others. So how co she turns into a chatterbox full of nonsense in front of Tang Yuxiu?
She just symbolically asks a few questions every ti, or says a few more words about certain things. Even if it’s a lot, it’s not useless.
Gu Yan forced a smile, "Fine, you’re the boss; if you decide to clean up yourself, I won’t stop you." Honestly, she couldn’t ask for more.
She didn’t know why; she just felt that once she made a move, Tang Yuxiu would definitely stop her and do it himself.
As expected, just as she anticipated, not much persuasion was needed.
Gu Yan took out a pair of plastic gloves from the cabinet for him, "Sorry to trouble you, boss. Go for it, boss."
Tang Yuxiu took the gloves and snorted coldly, "Now go upstairs and take a shower, and don’t co down."
Gu Yan knew he didn’t want her to see him doing chores.
n and their pride, especially soone like Tang Yuxiu, an elite young master who wouldn’t usually even lift a finger for household chores.
"But, boss, are you sure you can do it? Do you know how to clean up? What if you make a mistake or ss it up?" Gu Yan voiced her doubts with an innocent look.
Tang Yuxiu’s face dropped, clearly unhappy with her questioning, "It’s just cleaning a kitchen. What’s so hard about it? As if I’d burn it down."
"Not necessarily," Gu Yan casually glanced at the ruined rice cooker, making Tang Yuxiu’s ears turn red.
"That was an accident. Just forget about it!" Tang Yuxiu’s tone carried a hint of frantic frustration.
Gu Yan chuckled inwardly and followed his words, "Alright, I got it. After a good night’s sleep, I definitely won’t rember what I saw or what happened."
Tang Yuxiu was a little satisfied and urged her to go up quickly.
Gu Yan acknowledged but didn’t move.
"Cleaning up is easy. Just put the rice cooker in the garbage bag, take everything out of the fridge and throw it in the bag, wipe everything down with a damp cloth, then a dry cloth, leave the fridge open to air out for half an hour, put the fruit you bought today in there, and lastly, tie up the garbage bag and take it to the door; soone will collect it."
Tang Yuxiu looked impatient, "I don’t need your nonsense for such simple things, now go upstairs!"
After Gu Yan said these, she then turned and left the kitchen under his urging. As Tang Yuxiu was about to put on the gloves and get started, Gu Yan’s head poked back in.
"Boss, I have faith in you. Do a good job."
With that, she waved at him and happily went upstairs through the living room.
Tang Yuxiu was at his wit’s end and really wanted to give her a smack.
Once he was sure Gu Yan was upstairs, Tang Yuxiu finally put on the gloves and began cleaning the sink.
Although he despised Gu Yan for being talkative and in the way, he still listened to what she said.
The usually noble Tang Yuxiu was doing household chores at ho today, cleaning the kitchen; luckily, his group of annoying friends wasn’t here, or he’d never be able to show his face again.
No matter what Tang Yuxiu does, he always takes it seriously and ticulously, even when it cos to cleaning the kitchen.
Coupled with his own cleanliness obsession and compulsive tendencies, along with his work attitude, he couldn’t stand even the slightest ss or flaw.
After putting the rice cooker in the trash bag, he wiped the porridge stains on the sink over and over with a damp towel until not a trace was left, even when he looked closely.
And he didn’t give up on any crevice inside the fridge, pulling out the power himself and sticking his whole head in to check if there was any dirt left.
When putting in the fruit, he aligned all the apple stems in the sa direction, neatly arranging everything like they were in a lineup, not allowing any disarray.
This attention to detail ant that what could’ve taken just ten to twenty minutes ended up taking him an hour.
Gu Yan, who had finished her bath upstairs, had been waiting for him to co up and apply so dicinal wine on her so she could sleep, but she ended up waiting for over an hour.
Seeing Tang Yuxiu co up, Gu Yan’s first question was, "Boss, did you really destroy the kitchen? Why did it take so long?"
Tang Yuxiu, while taking off his suit, shot her a displeased look, "Such a simple task, how could I possibly destroy the kitchen."
When you see my results tomorrow, you’ll be amazed.
Indeed, the next day, Gu Yan was truly amazed when she saw the clean kitchen and the neatly arranged fruit in the fridge.
She couldn’t help but internally complain, this person’s cleanliness obsession and OCD are truly beyond saving.
She felt sorry for the fruit, not only getting eaten but having to be treated so strictly and seriously.
Of course, these were thoughts for the next morning; for now, Gu Yan maintained a half-doubtful attitude.
"Boss, hurry and apply the dicinal wine for ; I want to sleep after that."
"You’re quite adept at ordering around now," Tang Yuxiu squinted at her, his gaze indifferent.
Gu Yan imdiately raised a flattering smile, "Boss, you’re the best. There’s no one else here, after all. Who else could I ask for help?"
