“You are my benefactor. I have no relatives or friends left in this world. If you don’t mind, please take me as your servant.”
Yuan Ye stared at her for several seconds before saying, "You're a smart person. I don't need to tell you what you should and shouldn't do, right?"
He wasn't so reckless as to make a woman of unknown origin his slave.
"I know I have no special skills and can't do anything for you, but I can cook for you—"
Yuan Ye's brow twitched slightly.
“During this time, I went with Aunt Wang to help out and observed the cooks’ meals. One of them happened to be in charge of preparing your meal, but her cooking skills weren’t as good as mine—”
That was incredibly audacious—she crossed the line.
However, Jiang Tian and Yuan Ye were worlds apart. If she didn't seize the opportunity, Yuan Ye could easily make Jiang Tian leave with just a flick of his finger.
“I have been learning cooking from my family’s chef since I was a child, and I have accumulated some experience—I want to follow in your footsteps.”
Yuan Ye was truly surprised; this woman was quite persistent.
He's refused her several times, yet she still manages to come up with excuses.
"If you want to repay my kindness, then live well. You don't need to be my slave, and I don't have a penchant for taking in servants. Besides, young lady, you seem to have forgotten that you haven't yet shaken off the suspicion of being a spy—you keep saying you want to be my cook, how many lives do I have to dare to let you serve me so closely?"
Yuan Ye didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he waved his hand and called out, "Take her away. Have the people who take care of her pack her things and send her away as soon as possible. I don't want to see her again after today."
Upon hearing this, his personal guards wished they could drag Jiang Tian away immediately.
But Yuan Ye hadn't anticipated that Jiang Tian, letting them pull and tug, wouldn't struggle. She simply looked up at him and silently uttered two words—
"Tai.zi."
Yuan Ye's pupils suddenly contracted!
He then coldly ordered, "Forget it, you may all leave now. I have something to ask her."
The two men who were holding Jiang Tian immediately bowed and took their leave.
Yuan Ye's gaze was icy: "What were you saying just now?"
Jiang Tian lowered her head: "In my half-awake state, someone seemed to mention you—don't worry, I only want to serve you, I have no ulterior motives, and I will not reveal your identity to others casually."
The expression on Yuan Ye's face was difficult to discern.
Jiang Tian knew his identity, which must have been leaked by Chen Ziming.
That man was too careless in his actions, and not long ago he caused several troubles. This time, he has revealed his identity again, and Yuan Ye is determined to punish him.
But the problem that urgently needs to be solved now is not Chen Ziming, but Jiang Tian.
His gaze was deep as he looked at Jiang Tian without saying a word.
The best solution, of course, is to silence her.
But he was not a cruel person.
"Why do you follow me? Is it just to repay a debt of gratitude? Since you value the favor I did to save your life, then don't cause me any trouble. I don't trust you, and I don't intend to have you cook for me."
Jiang Tian nodded: "I know your concerns. In other people's eyes, I'm already a dead person. If it weren't for you, I would have gone to see the King of Hell that rainy night. I will never have peace of mind in this life if I don't repay your kindness."
She is really stubborn.
If she hadn't revealed his identity, Yuan Ye could have easily found someone to watch over her and prevent her from escaping the city.
But things are different now.
Jiang Tian learned his identity.
Yuan Ye had to reconsider how to settle her affairs.
He was not familiar with this woman and did not know what was so strange about her background, but if she went out and talked nonsense, it would definitely be of great disadvantage to his plans if it reached the ears of someone with ulterior motives.
Chen Ziming really knows how to give him difficult problems.
Yuan Ye stared at Jiang Tian and couldn't help but sneer: "You only saved one person, but you also caused trouble. This girl, you really make me look at you in a new light."
Jiang Tian remained kneeling on the ground, repeating her previous words: "I am willing to give everything for the general, just to repay his kindness."
Yuan Ye pondered for a moment and said to her, "You're not fit to be a cook. Soldiers don't need maids. What can you do?"
Jiang Tian quickly replied, "I can read, use an abacus, know how to tailor clothes, have some cooking skills, and can also do laundry."
Yuan Ye didn't speak, he just stared at her quietly.
After a while, he said, "What you know is useless here. The women here, besides being cooks, have only one use—"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian seemed to understand something, and her face indeed turned pale inch by inch.
Seeing the emotions in her eyes, Yuan Ye felt some of the frustration that had arisen in his chest from her threat.
Other military camps may have women like that, but his camp absolutely does not allow them to exist.
Although he and Jiang Tian were just casual acquaintances, he wouldn't go so far as to send her to a place like that.
Since she was scared, he didn't bother to argue and was about to tell Jiang Tian the arrangements when—
Under his gaze, Jiang Tian turned her back and suddenly began to undress.
Delicate, jade-like collarbones.
Delicate and smooth shoulders.
A beautiful, snow-white back.
There are other unspeakable places—
Everything entered Yuan Ye's eyes in an instant.
Yuan Ye's face suddenly turned as dark as ink. He no longer cared about the proper separation between men and women and, with lightning speed, forcefully pulled her clothes back up!
Jiang Tian seemed somewhat surprised. She turned around, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
At this moment, her clothes were loose and baggy, and a glimpse of spring could be vaguely seen.
