The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 5

“Young Master.”

Jiang Yuhuai hummed in agreement and said to him, “From now on…”

He paused, then turned to Yu Guiwan beside him, his tone unusually gentle.

“Can I call you Wanwan?”

Seeing Jiang Yuhuai’s attitude, the butler lowered his eyes, and a tremor ran through his eyes that no one could see.

Rumors had circulated at the old mansion that the Jiang family was going to form a marriage alliance with the Yu family.

It was simply because of the promise the old man made back then.

In this capital city, the Yu family’s status is absolutely no match for the Jiang family, which is the head of the four major families.

Over at the old house, the eldest son has already married and had children.

The matter of the arranged marriage naturally fell to the second and third young masters.

However, it is still uncertain who will be married to the daughter of the Yu family.

Jiang Sanye, who usually ignored the affairs of the Jiang family, surprisingly went back to the old mansion and took the initiative to propose a marriage alliance with the Yu family, and the marriage partner had to be the eldest daughter of the Yu family.

Grandpa Jiang hadn’t seen his youngest son in far too long.

He naturally agreed to all of his requests.

Judging from Jiang Yuhuai’s current attitude, it’s probably not as simple as a marriage alliance between two families as it appears on the surface.

A subtle, complex emotion flickered in Yu Guiwan’s clear eyes.

She smiled and nodded obediently, “Okay.”

The man curled his lips into a smile, clearly showing a hint of pleasure, and turned his gaze to the butler.

“From now on, Wanwan’s words will represent my words. If I am not here, Wanwan will be in charge of everything in Tanyuan.”

The butler respectfully replied, “Yes, young master.”

After speaking, he turned to Yu Guiwan, who was standing to the side, and said with the same respect, “Young Madam.”

The servants behind her all called out in unison, “Young Madam.”

Yu Guiwan: “…”

She paused for a moment before speaking softly, “There’s no need to be so polite.”

After saying that, she subconsciously looked at the man beside her, as if asking if what she said was right.

Looking at her, Jiang Yuhuai couldn’t help but raise his hand and rub her head.

His tone was very indulgent and permissive.

“This is your home. You can do whatever you want here. You don’t need to ask me about everything.”

Yu Guiwan paused for a moment, then nodded.

She was almost about to ask if she could pick the flowers outside…

But when it came to her lips, she held back.

Jiang Yuhuai instructed the butler, “Have the kitchen prepare lunch.”

“Yes, young master.”

The butler and the servants all left.

Jiang Dong remained standing guard.

The man looked at Yu Guiwan and said, “I’ve prepared a room for you. Take a look and see if you like it.”

“Okay.” She nodded.

Jiang Yuhuai grasped Yu Guiwan’s hand and whispered, “I’ll take you upstairs.”

Yu Guiwan did not refuse.

…

upstairs.

Yu Gui’s first thought after arriving that evening was that this person was quite wealthy.

Not only is the villa surrounded by flowers that are rarely seen at auctions but can also be used in medicine.

It’s just for viewing.

Even the paintings hanging on the walls of this corridor are quite valuable.

She showed no outward expression, but simply looked around curiously.

Jiang Yuhuai led her to a room near the garden.

This is also the room with the best natural light in the entire villa.

Yu Guiwan looked up and stopped, as if she had noticed something.

She pursed her lips and didn’t move.

Jiang Yuhuai smiled and released her hand. “Let’s go in and take a look.”

Yu Guiwan then went inside.

She looked around curiously, then headed straight for the outdoor terrace.

That was her real purpose.

As soon as she came out, she saw the flowers growing on the fence and instinctively wanted to reach out and pluck them.

But she stubbornly held back.

She swallowed hard, stared at him for a few moments, then reluctantly looked away before turning to face the man behind her.

“This place is very good.”

Jiang Yuhuai smiled and said, “I’m glad you like it.”

“We’ve also prepared toiletries for you in the bathroom. I didn’t know which ones you liked, so I just prepared some random ones. If you don’t like them, you can ask someone to change them to what you prefer.”

Yu Guiwan nodded.

This is already very good; it’s much better than the room the Yu family prepared for her.

And she’s not picky.

She walked into the bedroom, looked at the large bed in the middle, and seemed to remember something.

“…”

Yu Guiwan paused and glanced at the man beside her.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yuhuai asked.

She pursed her lips before speaking, “And what about you?”

“What?”

Jiang Yuhuai was momentarily stunned.

When he saw the way Yu Guiwan looked at the big bed, his expression suddenly froze.

He coughed lightly and explained, “I live next door to you.”

Yu Guiwan seemed to give a regretful “oh”.

Jiang Yuhuai: “…”

With his hands in his pockets, he explained with a mix of helplessness and amusement, “We just met. Once you get used to it, I’ll move back.”

He didn’t say exactly what it was about as a habit.

Yu Guiwan didn’t mind and nodded, “Okay.”

The housekeeper came up and called them down for dinner.

Jiang Yuhuai then led her downstairs.

The dishes on the table were plentiful.

It looks so delicious that it makes your mouth water.

Jiang Yuhuai pulled out a chair for her to sit down. “I don’t know what you like to eat yet. When you want to eat something in the future, just tell the housekeeper and have the kitchen staff make what you like.”

This statement is completely correct.

It seems like this is really their first meal together.

Yu Guiwan looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her and remained silent for a moment.

It seems like this really is the first time they’ve eaten together.

However, most of the dishes on the table were the ones she usually ate more of.

As for whether I love him or not, it’s alright.

She picked up the nearest piece of meat, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Jiang Yuhuai watched her from the side.

A few seconds later, she nodded. “Delicious.”

The man smiled and said, “Eat more if you like it.”

He put a few more pieces in her bowl.

Yu Guiwan frowned imperceptibly, but still obediently picked up her chopsticks and ate.

She eats slowly and in small amounts.

Jiang Yuhuai frowned slightly when he saw her put down her chopsticks.

Why are you eating so little?

Yu Guiwan paused for a few seconds before explaining, “I ate steamed buns this morning and I’m still quite full.”

Steamed bun?

Jiang Yuhuai’s brow furrowed slightly. “You only ate steamed buns this morning?”

Yu Guiwan shook her head, “And pickled mustard greens, delicious.”

It’s quite salty.

Jiang Yuhuai looked at her for a few seconds, smiled faintly, and asked, “Do you like steamed buns and pickled vegetables?”

Yu Guiwan nodded, “Grandma Wang’s steamed buns are delicious.”

Jiang Yuhuai had already investigated her life in Yunling Town.

She also knew that the person who had been taking care of her was this Grandma Wang.

He poured her a glass of room temperature juice. “If you like, tell the kitchen to make it and see if they can make the steamed buns you like.”

Yu Guiwan’s eyes lit up. “Okay.”

Jiang Yuhuai’s gaze remained fixed on her.

He only let her go upstairs to sleep after she said she was sleepy.

Jiang Yuhuai walked into the study, and his face immediately darkened.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, his tall, aloof figure exuding an imposing aura.

Jiang Dong and the butler stood behind him.

After a long pause, he spoke in a low voice, “Have Lu Yichen prepare a female doctor to come and examine Wanwan’s body.”

Jiang Dong lowered his head and said, “Yes.”

Jiang Yuhuai turned around and looked at the housekeeper. “After the check-up, tell the kitchen to prepare more medicinal dishes for Wanwan’s daily meals.”

The butler nodded. “Yes, young master.”

Jiang Yuhuai looked out the window again, his expression unreadable.

This time, he will not repeat the same mistake.
