Chapter 654: To Keep Su Miaoyan
After all, she and Su Yingxue were still unmarried young ladies. Returning late to the Marquis’s Manor would certainly invite gossip.
Xiao Si glanced at Xiao Yu’s expression, and Xiao Yu cast a faint glance at him.
Understanding immediately, Xiao Si said, “A/Iiss Su, finding your sister won’t be a quick task. But our Young Master’s health is delicate. If he doesn’t have his dinner promptly, it might worsen his condition. This is what your sister instructed! How about you accompany the Young Master for dinner first, and then 1’11 help you find Miss Su?”
“Does it conflict for Handsome Brother to have dinner and for me to find my sister?” Su Miaoyan tilted her head, starting to doubt her logic.
Could it be that Qilin Garden was short-staffed? Were there no other servants besides Xiao Si?
The vein on Xiao Si’s forehead twitched. “Well…”
Su Miaoyan, though young, was not easily fooled!
Young Master, what should we do?
“Cough…”
Xiao Yu coughed heavily, followed by a series of coughs. His face, previously tinged with red, now turned pale.
Su Miaoyan hurried to his side, gently patting his back. “Handsome Brother, are you alright?”
“Cough, I’m fine! It doesn’t matter if 1 have dinner or not. Let Xiao Si find your sister to take you back first. After all, you still need to accompany Grandfather.”
Xiao Yu’s tone, tinged with a hint of sadness, suddenly stirred reluctance in Su Miaoyan’s heart.
She hesitated, “Then… shall 1 accompany Handsome Brother for dinner first? It’s not early to go back now anyway.”
Xiao Yu nodded. “Alright, Xiao Si, inform the kitchen.”
Xiao Si was surprised by his action.
He had never seen the Young Master act like this before.
It was a bit unexpected!
This wasn’t his usual style.
But seeing Su Miaoyan’s worried expression as she stayed by Xiao Yu’s side, behaving so obediently, Xiao Si instantly understood.
It was easy to deceive young girls.
He went out to instruct the steward to immediately prepare the meal and also to prepare some desserts that the girls liked.
Xiao Yu’s twelve chefs were always on standby, ensuring a prompt serving.
However, the steward remembered that Su Miaoyan was still present and informed Xiao Si, “Third Miss Su is still here, but her sister has already left! General Su personally came to pick her up during the day. Now, the Third Miss…”
Xiao Si quickly covered the steward’s mouth and pulled him aside, whispering, “The Young Master wants to have dinner with Miss Miaoyan now. But if Miss Miaoyan finds out that her sister has already left, she’ll insist on returning to the Marquis’s Manor. Then, she won’t be able to have dinner with the Young Master, and he’ll be unhappy. This way… Do you understand?
The steward, having served in the Xiao family for many years, was not a fool but rather shrewd.
He immediately understood and said, “Got it! I’ll go prepare food for Miss Miaoyan immediately.”
Su Miaoyan waited for dinner, and when Xiao Yu invited her to join him, she couldn’t refuse. Initially absent-minded, she couldn’t resist after a few of her favorite dishes and desserts were served.
The strawberry milkshake ended up all over her face..
