Chapter 42 Little Beauty, Don't You Recognize Me?
Gu Yan's gaze indeed swept lightly over the empty wall hooks.
That look was as fast as the wind; if Yun Yang hadn't been prepared, she wouldn't have been able to catch it at all.
The next second, he put on that harmless, gentle smile again.
"What are you making something delicious so late at night?"
He walked slowly closer, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze, "It smells so good, I'm hungry too."
Yun Yang didn't say anything.
At this moment, another voice was frantically flooding her mind.
[Oh dear, the key was just taken by this little nanny, host.]
I'll have her give it to you right away, it'll only take a minute!
[Hmm? You don't want to reveal your identity? Okay, okay, I understand, I understand! When you're in a foreign country, the last thing you can trust is someone from your hometown! I understand you, honey!]
[What are you thinking? Host, she's a full-time employee. You can't just fire her before her contract expires. Besides, she has lines in the later part of the story.]
For example, I haven't seen Mr. Smile in ages; I've never seen him care about anyone like this before; oh my god, he actually brought another man to bed!
Yun Yang: "!"
This system is so noisy.
It's so noisy.
She was just like that stupid colleague from her past life who was always buzzing in her ear, always looking for trouble, and always trying to shift the blame.
Suddenly, the noisy voice stopped, as if it had been scolded by Gu Yan.
Okay, okay, I'll shut up, I'll shut up, alright? Mind reading... that mind reading, I haven't found it yet... Never mind that, let's figure out how to get the key first!
Yun Yang knew exactly what was going on.
Essentially, she and the female lead share the same goal: to finish the storyline as soon as possible and go home.
She just wanted to confirm who the female lead in this transmigrated book was.
She would hand over the broken key immediately if he asked.
She looked at Gu Yan and waited quietly.
However, Gu Yan didn't mention the key at all. Instead, like a curious child, he went straight to the pot that was bubbling and steaming.
"Wow, it smells so good! Is this the legendary snail rice noodles?"
He looked on with curiosity, "I've never eaten this before, could you... cook me a bowl too?"
Yun Yang rolled her eyes inwardly.
The packaged pickled bamboo shoots weren't fresh, and the whole room smelled awful, yet they claimed they were fragrant. Could they have acted any more fake?
Okay, okay.
If we're going to act, let's do it together.
She slowly moved over, already calculating in her mind how much processing fee she should ask this colleague for.
"Yunyang, you're here! Where's the key to the storage room?"
A clear female voice rang out from the kitchen doorway!
Regardless of the circumstances, Shen Mingyue has already unilaterally reconciled with Yun Yang.
Yunyang suddenly turned around.
The person standing at the door had Shen Mingyue's voice, but her face... if she hadn't heard the voice, she swore she would never have recognized her!
The other person had a neat, slightly parted hairstyle with a few wisps of hair framing their forehead in an unruly arc. They wore a crisp white shirt with the top two buttons undone, revealing their delicate collarbone.
She even wore makeup, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and light-colored lips, giving her an androgynous, youthful air.
Yun Yang's shocked expression made Shen Mingyue extremely smug.
She stepped forward, lightly pinching Yun Yang's chin with one hand, while her other hand restlessly gripped Yun Yang's waist.
"What's wrong, little beauty? Don't you recognize me?"
Shen Mingyue gave a wicked smile and deliberately lowered her voice, "Hahahaha, did I scare you?"
Yun Yang: "..."
I would really appreciate it.
She slapped Shen Mingyue's hand away and said irritably, "I would recognize you even if you were ashes, but you're wearing makeup."
"This is for my love!" Shen Mingyue winked at her.
"For Gu Yan's sake! He said he likes men!"
"Oh," Yun Yang replied.
News of this magnitude is hardly surprising to her anymore.
However, she then belatedly realized that there was still a living person in the kitchen.
I turned around, and there was Gu Yan? How could such a grown man just disappear like that?
The next second, she saw it.
Gu Yan huddled under the dining table, only his eyes showing. He met her gaze in the dim shadows, then quickly put a finger to his lips, frantically signaling her to be quiet.
It seems he's been pushed too far by Miss Shen's damned love.
What are you looking at?
Seeing her looking around, Shen Mingyue reached out and pulled her face back to face her.
Yun Yang replied expressionlessly, "I didn't see it."
"What are you cooking?" Shen Mingyue asked again.
Yun Yang: "There's none for you."
"I won't eat that kind of stuff!" Shen Mingyue said with a look of disgust. "I have to protect my skin so that I can show my most handsome side to Gu Yan!"
Yunyang's facial expressions instantly went out of control.
She really doesn't understand.
Why did Miss Shen, who was yelling at men just a few days ago, suddenly become a hopeless romantic?
Or was he just pretending to show it to her?
Shen Mingyue! You better really aren't the female lead! Seriously!
Yun Yang decided to test the waters again: "What exactly do you like about Gu Yan? In my opinion, Mr. [Name] is much better than Gu Yan!"
Sigh, it's so frustrating. She doesn't want to be like a tester every day, constantly probing and testing.
tired.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingyue replied confidently.
"Gu Yan is not mute."
Yun Yang: "..."
She was powerless to refute this reason.
"Alright, alright, where's the storage room key?" Shen Mingyue waved her hand impatiently. "I'm going to find some fruit to replenish my vitamins. I heard that the best fruit was saved for that mute Fu Xiaoting, is that true?"
Yun Yang's inner calculations started clicking away again.
Every time Shen Mingyue appeared, her suspicions about Gu Yan decreased dramatically.
She lied without batting an eye: "I didn't see it. Maybe someone took it."
The key is on her; whoever steals it will become the female lead.
Now the truth will finally come out.
Shen Mingyue didn't seem to care much, "Then just wash me whatever you like... tch..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly sniffed hard, and her eyes instantly sharpened.
What does it taste like?
Yun Yang casually replied, "Luosifen (river snail rice noodles), what else?"
"No!" Shen Mingyue said decisively, "It smells like Gu Yan!"
Before she finished speaking, she pounced on the dining table like a cheetah that had locked onto its prey, and pulled the trembling Gu Yan out from under the table!
"Miss Chen, good evening..." Gu Yan forced a smile that looked more like a grimace as she backed away.
The next second, he took long strides and ran away without looking back!
"Gu Yan, don't run away!" Shen Mingyue screamed and chased after him.
In the kitchen, only a pot of steaming snail rice noodles remained, along with clouds scattered in the wind.
Her world has finally become quiet.
...
The next day.
Early in the morning, Yunyang woke up to a familiar spasm.
Her period arrived, albeit late.
Although this body isn't her own, she perfectly inherited the menstrual cramps debuff.
There are always a few days each month when I feel like I want to destroy the whole world.
As luck would have it, the head steward, Guillaume, was holding a general meeting for all the servants and specifically requested that she attend.
She didn't want to go and wanted to stay in bed all day, but there was a knock on her door.
It is Gu Yan.
"Butler Yun, are we heading to the conference hall? Shall we go together?" He smiled as gently as ever.
When Yun Yang thought about the important matter of confirming the female lead's identity, she struggled to get out of bed.
She specifically changed into a sweatshirt with large pockets on the abdomen.
It's red and has a big exclamation mark drawn on it.
For NPCs only.
Then he carefully put the bunch of keys into his pocket.
The fish is ready to take the bait.
Sure enough, as soon as she and Gu Yan sat down at the long table in the conference hall, the mechanical voice in her head started ringing out impatiently.
[Host! Host!]
The key is in the nanny's jacket pocket! You can reach it with a simple tap!
