The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 255: The Bustling Kitchen

"Hmm? Have you asked your brother-in-law? You could also ask Yan Han."

The little maid was chopping ingredients and glanced at her younger sister Tong Ge who had closed the kitchen door.

For lunch today, they made a spicy chicken dish the master really liked, but it required a lot of dried chili peppers and was especially spicy. She wasn’t sure if Yan Han, who was new to the household, could handle it.

As an excellent little maid, of course she wanted to accommodate each guest’s taste as much as possible— but the master’s preference always came first.

Tong Ge shook her head and came over to help her sister with the chopping.

"Brother-in-law is busy, and Sister Han is also busy."

Could the two of them be busy with the same thing?

However, the little maid didn’t inquire further, "Well, let’s just go with the master’s preference for now."

The two sisters worked together in harmony preparing lunch. The sounds of various kitchen utensils clashing didn’t create a mess but sounded like a symphony.

After another dish was ready, Tong Ge spoke again, "Sister, aren’t you going to do something about your husband?"

Her tone was calm, and it was hard to tell what she was really thinking.

Was it out of a sense of injustice for her sister, or...?

The little maid paused from picking through the vegetables and thought about ruffling her sister’s hair but was worried about the grease on her hands.

In the end, she leaned over and cheekily pressed her cheek against her sister’s, "It’s the same old saying, as long as I am happy, that’s all that matters."

Ayao never dares to hope for too much...

It would be nice to remain the little maid to the master for her whole life.

There’s nothing she can do when the master is always out there flirting with others; she’s just the master’s little maid after all...

Hmph, anyhow, the master will have to come home at the end of the day.

The little maid is the one who spends the most time with the master every day! All those others are just insignificant wildflowers!

Tong Ge nodded thoughtfully.

Since sister doesn’t care about it at all... then...

While both sisters were getting lost in their own thoughts as they prepared the next dish, the kitchen door was pushed open.

Yan Han wanted to come in and help out.

She peeked her little head in and blinked, "Is there anything I can do? I’m pretty okay with cooking too."

The little maid was somewhat surprised, "No worries... you don’t need to help."

The very sensible niece spoke up, "I’m going downstairs to buy some drinks."

In reality, the fridge was still fully stocked with drinks. The excellent little maid certainly kept it well-supplied.

After the niece left, Yan Han stepped in to take over her job, and started cutting the vegetables.

"I feel a bit embarrassed just sitting around waiting for the meal."

"I was just thinking of asking if you could eat spicy food. There are a few spicy dishes for lunch today."

"Oh, I can eat that. I grew up with Brother Shuang, and we have always eaten the same things since we were kids."

"That’s true..."

After this small talk, the two pretty girls fell silent for a moment, leaving only the "thud thud thud" sound of the kitchen knife cutting vegetables.

Yan Han suddenly laughed, "Do you think I came in here to fight with you?"

The little maid also chuckled, "After all, we are love rivals..."

When love rivals meet, there’s bound to be some green-eyed jealousy~

She playfully swung her little fists around, "That time I first met Sister Wan, we got into a fight too."

Yan Han’s eyes lit up with curiosity, "Who won? Did you pull each other’s hair?"

"It wasn’t to the point of pulling hair... Let’s just call it a draw?"

Yan Han looked a bit disappointed, "Seems like the fight wasn’t fierce enough then~"

Fight! Exhilarating!

The little maid glanced at her arms, "You’re too thin, you probably won’t be able to beat me, right?"

Yan Han’s eyes fell on the little maid’s chest, "You seem top-heavy, like you’d fall over with just a push~"

The little maid wiped her hands and posed with a Wing Chun stance, "Please enlighten me~"

Seeing this pose, Yan Han was reminded of the Wing Chun that Brother Shuang had talked to her about.

It was Brother Shuang who taught her, wasn’t it...

Yan Han smiled and harmonized with her, "A-da~"

The little maid tilted her head: She really did grow up with the master... That "A-da" sounds so much like the master.

The two girls shared a smile, and Yan Han reached out her hand first, "Anyway... thanks for taking care of my Brother Shuang these past days."

The little maid also extended her hand for a shake, "And thank you for growing up with my master."

Both pretty girls were all smiles, but the strength in their handshake slowly intensified, oh~

Yan Han wrinkled her nose, "What a violent maid!"

The little maid bit her lip, "What a naughty little sister!"

"Who’s your little sister! I’m going to be your mistress someday!"

"Dear little sister, why not call me ’Sister-in-law’ to hear how it sounds?"

"Bad maid, looks like your cooking is about to burn, isn’t it?"

"Ah—"

The little maid released her hand and frantically started to rescue the food in the pot.

Yan Han helped out on the side, plating the dish that was saved.

Victory achieved, Xiao Han made a victorious gesture.

"So I should be considered the winner of this arm wrestling, right?"

"Luckily, it’s not burnt..."

The little maid, hands on her hips and with a wry smile, looked towards Xiao Han, "At best, it’s a draw?"

Her pose with hands on hips accentuated the curves of her waist, the dramatic ups and downs. Yan Han, also a girl, couldn’t help but feel envious.

Yan Han pouted her cheeks, complaining, "...You did that on purpose, bad maid!"

The little maid’s cheeks were flushed, and she pushed out her chest forcefully, "This round should be considered my win, right?"

Totally triumphant!

Yan Han pushed harder, but even if she brought Wanwan over, and combined the two of them, they still couldn’t compare to the little maid.

Hmm, even adding Little Ling Meng wouldn’t do. Three girls together would still fall short.

Having lost the battle, Xiao Han went back to chopping ingredients, "Hmph, no matter what, Brother Shuang likes me the most."

The little maid started preparing the last dish, saying with a gentle smile, "Is that so? My master says he wants to be with me for a lifetime."

"Brother Shuang promised me that the moment he learned to speak!"

The wise little maid attempted to sow discord, "Oh... was Wanwan also there at that time?"

Indeed, Wanwan was there too!

Yan Han laughed, "Sister Wan and I are very close. It’s an internal distribution matter among us sisters~"

"Oh~"

The little maid dipped her chopsticks into the soup in the pot and offered it to her, "Taste this and tell me if the seasoning is alright?—Earlier Wanwan said she wanted to team up with me to beat you first."

"It’s delicious, your cooking is really good—Hehe, even combined, you’re no match for me."

Yan Han added the chopped vegetables to the hot pan, proclaiming, "After all, Brother Shuang likes me the most."

Just as the little maid was about to say something, the kitchen door was pushed open.

Lin Shuang popped his head in and saw two beautiful girls cooking together in harmony.

Not the imagined scene of clashing knives and sparks flying.

"Master~"

"Brother Shuang~"

Lin Shuang rubbed his hands, "I was a bit worried that you two might start fighting."

Yan Han linked arms with the little maid, "Why would we? Xiao Han doesn’t fight."

The little maid touched cheeks with her in an amused manner, "Right, we’re good sisters now, master, no need to worry."

Sisters on the surface!
