"Mm," Gu Yunting responded indifferently.
"What did you do today?" Gu Yunting asked.
"Worked. What else could I do?"
"If you're short on money, I can pay you a salary."
Gu Yunting recalled how much she had done for the Gu residence when the former housekeeper was around. He most vividly remembered one occasion when the housekeeper demanded she hand-wash all the curtains in the Gu residence, forbidding her from using warm water even in the dead of winter. She had eventually fainted from exhaustion with no one paying her any mind...
"I don't have time for these things now. I take on part-time jobs whenever I'm free," Ye Wan shook her head. She would never accept charity. She wanted to earn her own money.
Without waiting for Gu Yunting to say more, Ye Wan entered the kitchen, took out dry noodles and three eggs, and began preparing. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her arm as fair and smooth as jade. A red mole on her forearm stood out strikingly against her fair skin, making one’s lips itch to kiss it.

Two bowls of noodles were soon ready. As per Gu Yunting's request, she added two eggs. Ye Wan found one egg sufficient for herself. Gu Yunting, looking at the two eggs in his bowl, felt a prickle of discomfort.
Just as Ye Wan was about to eat, he said, "This is boring. Go make a small side dish."
Ye Wan: "..." This young master is so demanding!
She got up to get a side dish from the refrigerator. There were small pickled vegetables prepared by the chef beforehand. She took out two plates and brought them over.
After sitting down, Ye Wan picked up an egg to eat. Gu Yunting suddenly said, "Why do you get eggs and I don't?"
Ye Wan: "?"
She looked at his bowl; indeed, there were no eggs left. But she had clearly made him two fried eggs?
"That's impossible. There were two just now? Where are the eggs?" Ye Wan shook her small head from side to side, searching, and finally her gaze fell on the trash can beside the man.
Gu Yunting raised his hand to push her head, demanding, "Give me half!"
Ye Wan: "!"
She glared indignantly at the man in front of her, who looked so self-righteous. He clearly had two eggs! And he still wanted to snatch hers when she only had one!
He truly had no manners!
Ye Wan resigned herself to it and cracked open the egg, giving him half. Then, she quickly ate her own half.
Gu Yunting: "..."
This time, the division was obvious: one large, one small. Her half was large, his was small.
Seeing the girl's little trick, he said nothing and lowered his head to eat. It seemed that from now on, he should only leave one egg at home. Splitting it to eat together would be more enjoyable.
He forgot that he was the one who had asked her to put two eggs for him next time.
After finishing the noodles, as Ye Wan was clearing the bowls and wiping the table, she saw the two eggs lying in the trash can!
Ye Wan was shocked. He would rather throw the eggs away than give her half of hers? How wicked could this person be!
That night, Gu Yunting came to Ye Wan's room to spend the night. Ye Wan was very tired and said she wanted to sleep and didn't want to move.
Gu Yunting bit her through her clothes and scoffed, "When have you ever moved? Haven't I always been the one making the moves?"
Ye Wan: "..."
"Why don't we let Miss Lin move into the Gu residence? That way, she can share half of the burden with me," Ye Wan suggested seriously.
Gu Yunting's movements suddenly stopped. He propped himself up on his arms, looking at her as if he couldn't believe his ears, his eyes reddening. "What did you say?"
"I said let your future..." Before Ye Wan could finish speaking, Gu Yunting bit her fiercely, silencing her completely.
Ye Wan found it utterly exasperating. Hadn't he just asked her to repeat herself?
